2016 LR4 Coolant Leak 50k miles (tstat, water pump, front pipe)
Its really mileage dependent and the V6 differs from the V8 maintenance-wise with some things. At 140k mi I'm doing my serpentine belts when I replace the alternator proactively. Maybe sooner. It just turned 120k miles and I've been offroading it several times a week. It took a long time to...- powershift

Auxillary Fuel Tank
Dig those tires. I'm still on street tires that I bought it with and after hydroplaning on the freeway the other day in the last storm with people passing quite fast while I drove under the speed limit lol. It was out in the country on a mountain pass near the CO river valley. The steering wheel...- powershift

LR4 HD Parts
I looked for a long time, everyday for probably 4 months since I had a remote job. Then I bought it out of state. Long story short $30k all-in fully sorted. I had to have the V8, 4X4. The rear camera is not a deal breaker since it doesn't respond reliably anyway, I had thought it was a must have...- powershift

As far as being crushed, the LR3/LR4 are stout asf so in a roll you'll be fine if your belt is on.- powershift

Tracking down Bolt info (SOLVED)
Look for a salvage yard like pull-your-part. With all the modifications you want to do it would be better to find one locally to scavenge off of or buy one that has everything you want already.- powershift

What scan tool to get
Everyone says the gap but I went with the full SDD rip the dealer uses for $35. Then I used the extra $500 I saved to put towards a laptop and bought an i7 Acer. Either way you go its copyright theft and no different than buying pirated TV :D.- powershift

Heated Wood Steering Wheel
You'll like the seat heaters in the winter. The steering wheel heater isn't a big deal but it helps keep warm. Its been getting cold and rainy and with the seat heaters I don't need the heater or A/C running, plenty of power and its like a lizard on a rock. Aside from that I've been thinking a...- powershift

Heated Wood Steering Wheel
I haven't seen a wooden wheel in an LR4 yet. The look of the wood is tight. That interior is a lot like mine, tan with the same color wood and with an all leather wheel. On my rig the sun damaged the passenger door wood and the wood under the touchscreen has a slight crack in it. It wasn't like...- powershift

replacement Alpine roof glass
Sorry to hear that. In my area I wouldn't trust anyone unless they have done it before and they will pretty much name their price. I love the glass and look out through it every night in the desert. There are 2-3 shooting stars a night.- powershift

LR4 2015 Engine Rodent Takeover!
The mice out here are big mofos and laughed at mouse traps I set for them. They aren't laughing now because I upped my game to rat traps baited with poison sticks to increase trigger sensitivity using leverage. They also catch rats but those are pretty rare.- powershift

Coolant Issue driving me crazy
Seems like a shorter than the already short predicted life-span. I read 60k mi but have no experience with it yet. I have 20k mi on mine now. I bought mine at the dealer and took the one in the pic back. The seams looked like ****. They had a whole box of them and said they are all about the...- powershift

Struggles to start and single bank misfires only when cold?
I'd remove the cats and see if the problem reproduces. If it isn't back-pressure related my guess is it isn't getting enough fuel. When it gets warm things expand and the problem may not reproduce after that.- powershift

Used SCV8 engine and trans assembly
Yeah, the SC 4.2 has almost 400 HP. I hear the transmission is the same in the FB ad but doesn't last as long behind the SC V8. The brakes to me are already lacking and I'm light on the brakes lol. But the SC V8 would be powerful for towing too. I have strong thoughts of pulling a Black Series...- powershift

Control Knobs
I bought caps for the HVAC knobs instead of trying to clean them. The caps are painted silver and its looks so much better than black because it matches the other silver accents on the dash and shifter. They are for sale on amazon and you just stick them on and be done with it. I found the...- powershift

5.0L Crankshaft Seal Leak, Request Advice
Yeah, not a major repair. The crank bolt might be a challenge. Plenty of while you are in there work if you are DIY. Might as well do the front cross over and all the other common fail points.- powershift

5.0L Crankshaft Seal Leak, Request Advice
Oil will leak mostly downwards and off to the sides at first from the brake vacuum pump. Either way there will be evidence if its leaking or not. If its all oily, greasy and hard to identify the source then I'd clean the front of the block and everywhere else to remove the oil, grime, dirt and...- powershift

Complete...and I mean complete lr4 teardown and rebuild
Seems reasonable although I'd be picky about the paint job. Couldn't do the same restoration with todays modern Land Rovers because they are more of a one-and-done disposable unit. Especially if someone wrecks it. I hope to keep my LR4 forever, even if I need to put it in storage.- powershift

How important is this foam? (LR4 spark plug change woes)
On the drivers side of my V8 I tried pulling out the material but failed. Luckily didn't need to remove it for the rear xover. But since then I had the valve cover gaskets and spark plugs changed and its still in place so there is a way to get it in and out of there. The piece looks like its...- powershift

Exhaust leak
When I was a kid we would pop the hood of a V8 with an engine bay so big you could climb inside and spray the water hose on the exhaust manifold to watch it boil and steam. Turns out that will crack the manifold lol. Not sure how the exhaust manifold is impacted when the engine is hot and its...- powershift
