LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Tribe, As this project continues, it is worth noting what pads and rotors we actually installed for my 2010 LR4 rebuild. I decided to give the "advanced" or "performance" brakes a shot to see if they actually make a difference. In the past, I figured that these really would not give me all...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Grill Mounting Light bracket
Update Part II: we have done the first installation for the new Baja Designs lights (LP6; the LP9 seemed too big and bulky for the mounting in front of the grill...they were almost as big as the grill!) Here are a couple quick photos of what they look like. More testing and design necessary...- Land Rover Joe

@txfromwi is right - I washed mine a lot and every time they took a dive. Again...may not be much of a problem now that they are simply no longer available.- Land Rover Joe

Finally finished, Bosch for Denso Infotainment Swap
Thanks again @Tapps33 And I am not ready to do this but really would like to upgrade the (now) clunky center consol screen in my 2010. There seems to be so much hi-tech wizardry out there that I am guessing someday someone will have something really slick, functional, and "plug and play."...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Services and Replacement
Given all the considerations, the job went relatively smooth but we did not finish until we completed the rear hub installation and brake rebuild (because you have to take all that EPB stuff off in order to get at the rest of the rear end). So this took us a long time to complete but seems like...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Services and Replacement
This job essentially involves two components - 1) the parking brake actuator (i.e. electric motor with cables) and 2) the brake shoe assembly. I replaced both items, for good measure, and now I have a back-up brake actuator and cable assembly. The brake shoes are not salvageable and are the...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Services and Replacement
Tribe, I couldn't find a specific thread on this subject, so figured I would begin one. While I didn't have any problems with my EPB on my 2010 LR4, but since I am tearing everything down...I figured we might as well do this job as well [since this job sucks so bad (and it does!)]. Here are a...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
This image, however, is much better to communicate what I am currently facing, and I found it online. The point is that for the rear brake hoses, there is a short steel / inflexible line which connects what I am calling the "lower" hose (which mates to the caliper) and the "upper" hose (which...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
But back to the brake lines....... Here is an image taken from the workshop manual regarding the layout of the brake lines (all of them).

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
A few more photos - the caliper paint I used. Note - this is nothing special and I have since learned that there are specialty kits for just doing calipers. That would probably be better than my relatively amateurish Auto Zone purchase...but we will see how things hold up. The second photo is...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
@powershift I don't think the brakes are that terrible on the LR4, but the Brembo racing calipers are indeed a heck of an upgrade, which several members of the forum have apparently done. In my case... I have a set of 18" Compomotives so if I want to run those wheels...no Brembo for me. Thus...- Land Rover Joe

Crazy to consider new engine in a 2016 LR4?
Great to hear a good news story! Glad to hear this has worked out well @amstacey - I am trying to avoid this very issue with ridiculous attention to detail and care of the engine (i.e. fluids changes). But always good to find out about how something has worked out in the end - we see very few...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Transmission oil change... mixed feelings.
Great thread and very helpful for all - thanks to the Team for everyone's insights and experiences.

Nothing to add there which has not been...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Transmission Calibration (adaption clearing) after service
I reached out to the folks for my GAP Tool and they noted a couple things: "I would be careful with the TCM adaption clear as there's a risk as per the user manual." "Others can be done without a specific order. Of course, these are not required unless parts are replaced." My understanding...- Land Rover Joe
