Shipping for Vacation
10/10. Wait until you can get more time to travel the way you want? I wouldn't want to fly somewhere to go camping, but if you are talking about staying in bed and breakfasts or a hotel then just keep it simple and rent a car.- powershift

Gear shifter squeak
When using command shift to upshift, I hear a squeak every time now. The noise is coming from inside #11 in the illustration below where the shaft is. Does the housing come apart so it can be lubed?- powershift

Removing rear seats?
I was thinking to save the leather and repurpose it. Tearing apart the 3rd row rear seats is not as evil as moving to coil overs so I don't feel bad at all about it. A lot of gear can fit inside the back there and with a 4k pound rear end, might as well use every square inch it to its fullest...- powershift

Removing rear seats?
That looks like a crafty setup with the water tank. I've been thinking about removing just the 3rd row seat leather cushions and then mount battery cells to the seat backs to hide and permanently stow a battery pack and retain the original flat floor. Right now I need to lug a battery pack in...- powershift

Thoughts on switching from 5w20 to 5w40 as miles approach 200K?
Oil change frequency and oil level is what you want to pay attention to, not changing the oil weight. I'm targeting 7,500 mi using Mobil 1 but some people change it much sooner at 5k mi. After shutting the engine off I set an alarm for 10 minutes and ensure the oil level is full.- powershift

LR4 Timing Chain repair questions
My '12 had the noise and it was consistent, unlike the OP from 2 years ago. I had the cam actuators replaced for $1k while they were in there. I think on my engine the actuators were making noise since it didn't sound like chain slap. But now it runs really good. Its strong up the grades and has...- powershift

Prospeed product interest?
A bit of a tangent, but Tactical4x4 looks pretty cool. I like their bumper https://tactical4x4.com/index.php/product/lr4-rear-bumper/, but would like to line the whole thing with jerry can holders and ditch the spare since I already have a spot for that. Been wanting that to save space because I...- powershift

Transmission “Free Wheeling”
It sounds like the bands are slipping and low fluid will do that and cause shifting problems.- powershift

Bouncy Ride Normal? +engine cover part no. request
Yeah, a much shorter wheel base will have a rougher ride. But the flip side as you know is its more maneuverable. The only related situation I noticed in mine was the front end seemed to plant down then come back up more when coming to a complete stop more so than my last car that had springs...- powershift

If it has an air suspension it would feel soft. Cushy is how mine feels. Look underneath at the control arms and look for springs. Some people want to convert the air suspension to have springs instead. Even if you have springs, you could fix it with proper shocks that work with proper springs.- powershift

Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?
Sounds like a good plan. The new spare tire winch I bought for $150 back in February broke and it didn't even have one full cycle on it. So it would have broke for the tire technician too even if he unwound it by hand. The winch stuck with the tire in the air while I was trying to lower it, that...- powershift

No idea, but the Loctite is specific about the gap height its tested to fill where as Permatex doesn't offer that spec and the Permatex has complicated instructions that I wouldn't want to deal with. I personally would get the loctite.- powershift

Dash lit up like a Christmas tree out in BFE
My LR4 made it back into town, I plop the battery on the counter after calling ahead yesterday with the OK to exchange it and they guy puts his device on it and says its OK, there is nothing wrong with it. After some convincing, he exchanged it for a new one under warranty and once I fired it...- powershift

That was my first thought, similar to when the sidewall gets a bubble. It looks to me like I hit a curb at 15 MPH.- powershift

Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?
I realized that if I get tires now then the tire shop is likely going to spin the caps on the lug nuts with the impact. I'm already planning to release the spare on my own and put it up on my own so they don't take the impact wrench to the winch and break it too. I like the Toyo AT3 tread...- powershift

Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?
With the extra side wall, will you rub if the air suspension drops to its bump stops? I drove on bump stops for the first time today so now I'm thinking oversized tires or too oversized tires would have stranded me right there in the middle of the road.- powershift

Dash lit up like a Christmas tree out in BFE
I did, the voltage was 12.8V when the ignition wouldn't turn on. The problem does seem related to bumps in a big way. I'm going to drop the skid plate tomorrow and check the electrical connections. I like the internally shorting battery idea, it makes great sense and pretty exciting lol.- powershift
