    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    For the speakers in your door, I can see the cup holder area was used for the box, crafty and looks tight. Did you need to route additional channels or was there already 4 in the door? Are you using the factory amp with the door speakers? As an aside, I bought a JBL Partybox 1000 and put it in...

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    Nice gear, I bet it sounds good. How does the bass hit? I've had strong thoughts of getting two JL Audio woofers, 600 W amps with a line level out to the amp and then be able to detach it and store it for when overlanding. Are you feeding your amps a line level input? Las Vegas is a big party...

    Battery Setting Assistance

    When I replaced my battery last summer I didn't need a CFG. Haven't had a problem with it and a bit skeptical that a CFG is needed to replace the battery or else suffer pre-mature failure.

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    I'm curious, what woofers and sound system do you have installed?

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    Probably a good guess. Land Rover designed these vehicles to make it easy to blow engines. In Utah its thirsty, in the Mohave it is not. My last change went 6k miles changed February, never added any oil and the level was full before I changed it yesterday and I've been in the Mohave the whole...

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    Surprising. Did you ever hear knocking or metallic noise?

    Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)

    It looks like that one has a seam all the way across. It would make sense to have it a one-piece design so it doesn't split apart. It looks plastic too?

    How fast MPH can you shift into 4L?

    I had been shifting on the fly to 4L under 10 MPH frequently. Now there is a bind and a thump when shfting to 4L. It doesn't do that when stopped and when changing from 4L to 4H it doesn't bind either. So I guess there is a limited number of shift on the fly to 4L before it breaks? I'm going to...

    Driving in access mode on the highway

    I tried 0 MPH access mode locked to highway speed and it raised at around 50 MPH. Then on a descend from 3k' to 300' at 60 MPH coasting in 6th, I hit access mode and the icon on the DIC said it was in access mode. It gained a few more MPH to 65 MPH, couldn't tell it dropped at all. Didn't feel...

    Driving in access mode on the highway

    There is an access mode lock feature on mine so I thought maybe that would keep it lowered while on the highway? The off-road height does not have a lock for it. Haven't tried access mode lock, but wanted to see what the forum thoughts are on it before I do something silly. Expensive equipment...

    Driving in access mode on the highway

    Still exploring the limits of my LR4, I took off at a rest stop in access mode but then it automatically went into normal right height mode. Does anyone drive around in access mode?

    Hard, jarring, harsh ride over holes and road imperfections

    I don't think I've hit any *** holes (we don't have them here), but I'd expect a thud. When I bought my LR4 the lower control arms were worn out, 97k mi. I think the bushings wear quickly because they are softer and the benefit is a better ride. The ride should be plush and cushy over bumps and...

    Replacing spare tire jack?

    In the Corvette world those are called pucks and it looks like that one would fit in the frame hole where the factory jack would fit on my LR4. But the truth is you don't need them. The frame will be fine with the jack under it whether the jack hole is used or not. The important part is to chock...

    Replacing spare tire jack?

    I see the dimple in the base of the control arm next to the strut mount, it looks solid there great idea. Are you using a standard bottle jack without extension in the dimple even when the control arm is at an angle? My rear control arms are at an angle whereas the front control arms are level...

    Replacing spare tire jack?

    I came across a USA made jack company that offers rebuild-able jacks and offer a longer shaft jack https://usjack-com.3dcartstores.com/3-Ton-Hydraulic-Long-Ram-Jack-Power-Unit-Bluebird_p_24.html. But I think its too long at 20". This one...

    2012 LR4 Speaker Replacement

    Normally the amps are tuned so they don't blow the speakers, but the stereo in the LUX package is pretty strong. My Radio Shack decibel meter hit 115 db around volume level ~55 inside while driving. Far too loud and found that at around volume level 30 its not going to hurt my ears, I remember...

    Replacing spare tire jack?

    That is a beauty, the best fit and plenty tall lol. I'd like a floor jack. Not sure where I'd put it, most of the time I have the back seats down and dedicating space to mount a floor jack would be hard. I'd like to mount a battery pack back there somewhere too. A floor jack might fit sideways...

    Auxillary Fuel Tank

    I'm sure it will be fine if you are careful, I was referring to a previous experience I had https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/rear-tire-carrier-any-regrets-in-daily-life.45886/page-5#post-254278 where I was driving in sand mode and off-road ride height, turned off sand mode to normal...

    Valvoline Restore & Protect?

    I drop my skid plate and do the change using gravity because I want to be inspecting under the engine and look for problems like oil drops, coolant drops, anything suspect. It was a bit hard to drop the skid plate on my back and put it back on, but after doing it a few times it gets easier and...

    Replacing spare tire jack?

    I was rotating tires and the LR needed to swap with the RF so I jack the RF way up, set a stand under the frame and then jacked the left rear. This was a hard lesson because it was really hard to jack that **** up on the LR. I could feel the bar flexing using both hands to rotate, but it rose...

    Auxillary Fuel Tank

    Yeah, don't be in off-road height and turn off sand mode into normal mode and expect everything to be fine lol. A big skid plate would suffice, plenty of room and backing to mount one properly.

    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    I read the Duratracs get loud after they start wearing, probably not a huge deal but to have them still quiet is better. My '08 Z06 came with Goodyears on it and they put two layers of tire compound in the tire mold. A sticky outer layer and then after a few thousand miles its a less sticky...

    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    Dig those tires and the side wall looks pretty strong given the tearing. I've long thought that USA tires held up better in general. My Continental tires are made in Portugal and South Africa, all the same 4X4 Contact model. Those AT3's look promising, 130 MPH rating too...
