    LR4 Accessories

    Before jumping on a rear tire carrier... Consider getting a steel rear bumper from T44 and get it as an add on. If you go with terrafirma or another brand then decide to get a rear bumper down the line, you'll have to fabricate a special bracket to get it to work. Just a thought.

    LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?

    I second this. Nothing like sleeping in the back on an exped with my window vents in and small electric fan cranking. I have the xlifter now so it makes it so much easier to hit the "self level" function instead of fiddling with my gap tool. Vehicle camping at it's best!

    LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?

    I have a defender V8, it's the closest thing you'll get to an LR4. I still like my LR4 more though

    2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options

    I spent a lot of time chalking the tires, dropping it to the bumps, turning the wheel... Then cutting, heat gunning, molding, etc. Then I would test around town, and if I identified a rub point I'd go back, reproduce it then take care of it. Takes time to get it right. ***Full disclosure, I...

    2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options

    My buddy had this exact same thing happen with his lk8 poly lca. I pressed my old ones out and put polys into the OEM LCAs. Been on about 4 weeks of off-road trips since I installed them with no issues yet

    2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options

    I feel good about the 280/75/18 geolanders on my compos. Running 30mm spacers and have taken care of any rubbing by dropping the rig to the bump stops and sizing everything. Lots of cutting, grinding, relocating, checking ...all worth it. I also had all the prereqs done for bigger tires so it...

    becoming collectible

    The V8 hd package will definitely be sought after. But in regards to rarity, 2016 w/ HD package is up there with the 08/09 LR3 with the rear locker. They didn't make a lot of them

    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    Wider angle. Also reupholstered the pillars/headliner in black. Vinyl for the pillars and a heavier duty fabric for the headliner. I retro fitted L663 Defender visors in there.

    Waiting on them to make a metal one like they did the fronts.

    SYA Spacer Squeak - Front End Squeak - PSA/FIX

    When I dumped the air out of the bags onto my 285/70/18s to see where there was touching it compressed enough that I'd rip a liner out hahaha

    RCV HD Axles - PSA - Friction point

    Just a PSA. If you install the heavy duty axles from RCV, be sure to cut the lower sway link bolt on the front driver's side as it'll rub and eventually puncture the CV boot when at full articulation. I noticed this as the suspension was fully extended and thank God I did. The only ******...

    SYA Spacer Squeak - Front End Squeak - PSA/FIX

    ***Only applies if you have the SYA Kit on your rig*** I mostly use my LR4 off-road and over the years I've developed squeaks, all of which I've been able to fix. One developed about a year ago that I could not figure out but it had the same signs as a bad sway bar bushing but it wasn't...

    Latest recommendations for front bumpers?

    Winch location being higher was key for me, other than that, I just liked the way it looked and the overall craftsmanship. I purchased my sliders and rear bumper from T44 and it was just a natural progression to get the from bumper from them

    Mattress Pad in the back - Recommendations?
