Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
What? You said right here I was clueless for such an idea which assumes you support the opposite: "Because, again, only someone who is clueless about the LCA bushings on a LR4 would state "LOL - oem bushings sure as heck last a lot longer than 60-70k." I didn't take you to be so clueless... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
Not sure why you mention "Indian" or hardly even British seeing as the entire development and production time was during Ford ownership. Hence some stuff great and some stuff shit. Personally, I wouldn't consider for a moment these other wheels not intended at all for off road abuses or... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
Probably will be fine but I wouldn't want to have them on some of the rockier trails where you can end up with 90% of the weight over 2 wheels and side loaded or against rocks. Just sounds like a lot of trouble to just add more uncertainty considering how stout the Compomotive wheels are even... -
the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
Hey thanks for the name calling but your research apparently didn't consider there's next to zero chance that bmw wheel is rated to the same load as an lr3 wheel. They'll do well with the poly bushings LOL. Note that an E53 x5 weighs about 4590 vs lr4 ~5655. ~23% heavier and also likely to... -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
lol what a lightweight. truth is you couldn't handle being challenged on the idea that factory bushings are just about as good as the over-hyped poly. Now you're saying that no factory bushings last past 70.... too funny. I imagine your brake rotors don't last either lol -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Wrong, there are way more than a "Few" crap parts on the lr3/4 rrs ;) Next week my 2004 Disco gets a full detailed Waxoyl treatment. On a tangent, Tata's stock price TTM has been getting absolutely crushed this year. -
So You Want an Auxiliary Fuel Tank for Your LR4...
Agreed on kaymar . I need to replace some bearings in one of the swing arms and the steel used for the Jerry can hoser was low grade but the bumper and tire carrier are still very good condition 12 yrs on now -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
I totally understand your logic, however, the ones you put in will corrode and the other bits will need to be refreshed (ideally) so part of my reasoning was I'd rather just replace them all more often and in oem fashion for much less $ than try to stretch the time on the whole system just... -
Easy way to spot HD package on '14 - '16 LR4, but how about other years/models
Hey, you can actually see the controller/actuator, or whatever it is, mounted to the side of the HD rear diffs. It's hard to see of course but if you could get it on a lift or raise the suspension to max, you can see from underneath or from one side through fender liner area. I just forget... -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
It was just insulting to have you suggest I was confusing a ball joint with a bushing which would require thinking a ball joint could ever be a polyurethane thingy rather than a metal "ball" ? As you know I replaced all suspension parts myself last year..... plus i'm tired of seeing these... -

very astute (not sarcasm) -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
they probably were shot at 70 but then they just felt the same from there on out LOL. they were essentially falling out in bits when i pulled them though -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
i'm not a moron so no, it wasn't an out to suggest i'd be thinking people are putting poly bushings into their ball joint sockets -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
if i meant fukking BALL JOINTS i would have written BALL JOINTS maybe i just didn't notice them even if they were shot but to the point of your reply, i a balljoint is not a bushing nor can one be confused about using a ploy bushing in a ball joint location -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
nobody seems to consider that the factory bushing design uses itself as a flexible damper on the system whereas these poly version are just sitting there free to rotate. The poly require 100% reliance on the air struts and dampers for the quality of ride and handling. I like poly for a car... -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
LOL - oem bushings sure as heck last a lot longer than 60-70k Mine were fine past 100k and not replaced until 130's though they probably were past ready by 120's. -
255/55/20 vs 255/50/20
Actually I think these lr’s still use a wheel sensor as proven by running a gps and seeing obvious % differences depending on tire size. It becomes especially apparent with 32+ and larger. -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
If only it were turbos... you’d be seeing 450hp and a lot more torque plus fuel economy when easy on it. My bmw 535 wagon in-line 6 tt has 420lb-ft now and still gives me 27-30 mpg if cruising 65-70. It’s a 6mt too though. -

Read manual for details but It allows you to not have the interior lights turn on every time a door is opened. -

i don't recall and i didn't do any of the wiring work -
Pendulum Weights
There shouldn’t be any bolt close enough to contact them. Move the bolt. They dampen the highway vibrations. -

The inverter is face mounted into some space behind the driver side rear cargo area plastic wall up high in the horizontal section that stands out the farthest which is just below the edge where the cargo area roll/cover would align. It’s powered from the house battery as are all the interior... -

What are the cylindrical canisters near filler at top of lines? Fuel Filters? I have the tank and it’s definitely a top 5 most appreciated/useful mods item for me. My list is sort of funny when you see people going on about farkles. It is camping/“overlanding” prioritized probably with true... -
LR4 off-road upgrades
Braking is still everything I’d hope for and I’ve tested emergency full stops which were just as good as before. If one wanted a bit more on these rotors, harsher pads could be used that would also take more abuse. The H&R are really well made. I got them initially to get 17’s on without a... -
Oil separator (catch can)
I have one on my bmw which has the n54 inline 6 twin turbo. Supposedly helps with that build up. Had the valves and such walnut blasted few yrs back then added the catch. It’s a common thing though on that turbo motor
