DIY Cargo/Sleeping platform
2nd row seats folded down and the extended platform folded in half. Extended platform half deployed with legs extended and fridge access. Clearance from the bottom of the platform with Plano storage bins. Fully deployed platform. Don't mind the mess, it was for a quick pic. Legs retracted... -
DIY Cargo/Sleeping platform
I did one similar to @steevo and @avslash. The rear looks like @steevo without the center brace, so I can get to the spare tire winch. Mine is just tall enough to fit a 5 gallon bucket and some Plano Sportsman bins. The only difference with mine is a double folding platform extension hinge... -
Why do american trucks get much better mpg that the lr4?
I dislike all of you with great mpgs. I average 10-12 mpgs and close to 13 on a good day on pavement going 70-80 mph mostly highway speeds. I also average 7-10 mpg on dirt. I would LOVE anything over 15 mpg at this point. :shot: -
Front propshaft / driveshaft replacement

LR4 Fuel Pressure Sensor?
The hpfp very accessible from the side. You really need to remove the sound baffles to access the bolts holding the hpfp. I think you're right, probably remove the upper fuel hard lines to the union to remove the sound baffle. -
Metal coolant plumbing for LR4?
I usually tell people that electronics and cooling, stick to oem. These trucks are very sensitive and boujee like that. I also tell people to overhaul EVERYTHING cooling related at the same time to save $$$ in the long run. Plastic deteriorate over time and you might be able to fix your front... -
LR4 Fuel Pressure Sensor?
I didn't have any issues with installing mine. It was surprisingly easy. From memory, you can access everything through the wheel well. Remove the hard lines feeding up to the union and it's pretty straight forward. I also recall the foam sound baffles were a pain in the butt to remove, I ripped... -
LR4 Fuel Pressure Sensor?
I've replaced both HPFPs and taken off the all the fuel lines up front on separate occasions. First thing you want to do is depressurize the system at the fuel rail union on bank 1, and make sure you have a rag around the area to minimize fuel spraying everywhere. After you're done replacing... -
Increased Performance
THE best performance is a healthy engine for the 5.0 V8. The best performance upgrade for the SCV6 is swapping out the lower pulley and tune. One of the guys I've met on here did this a few years ago was pushing about 450 HP and averaging 20+ mpg at 80+ mph in stop/go Los Angeles, CA traffic... -
Idle Help
How did you do your smoke test? Through lots of trials and mostly errors, I found this process the most efficient. This process allows smoke to fill the engine first to easily find the leaks as fast as possible. - Remove the harmonic intake tube - Remove the oil cap - Insert a "smoke machine... -
Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
If you have a boroscope, you can try going from the side wheel well liners. But to really get a visual with the boroscope you need to remove the cats to see the exhaust manifold bolts underneath. -
Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
Exhaust leaks definitely causes more engine noise as the ecu compensates with more fuel. I had a broken bolt on the exhaust manifold down to the cats. While removing the heads I found both heads with broken exhaust manifold bolts. I ended up removing the heads to remove/replace the bolts... -
gallery pressure
I want to say about 30 seconds, but for sure less than 1 minute. -
gallery pressure
At first start: Airing up to off road height: Resting after off mode height is reached: -
gallery pressure
My 2011 LR4 5.0 V8 HSE Lux has a relatively new Hitachi compressor, all oem valve blocks, and less than 6 mo old oem air shocks all around. The old compressor was working, but took too long to get to the correct pressures. From memory, on normal height at start up it's relatively low ~50 psi or... -
Radiator Replacement
I ended up DIYing it and I must say taking it out was way harder than putting it back in. Overall, not too bad. It took 5 hours to do it, but I also did take an hour lunch beer break. Remove skid plates and bleed the coolant from the bottom hose. Remove the fan, fan shrouds (top and bottom), 2... -
Seeking LR4 inline thermostat and crossover pipe Beta Testers
Too bad I'm in San Diego, CA. I'd love to upgrade to serviceable metal thermostat and crossover pipe. -
front drivetrain noise
I've done some 50+ mph trail driving in Mojave Desert and Death Valley. I leave it on Hi gear and (D) drive or (S) sport mode. It's scary fun trying to keep up with my street legal trophy truck buddies, but they're so fast that I often lose their dust trials. Anyhow, the sound that you're... -
Sunroof Drain...or so I thought!
@Tapps33 Crazy find. Those stupid foam inserts and sand filled plastic bags were the first thing I threw out when I popped off the side grills to clean out the drain tubes. Come to think of it, I need to clean mine out again. Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely seal mine up too. I've waded... -
Control arm fail
Find another Firestone. Most likely the one you went to don't have the proper equipment. I usually tell them I plugged in my (Gap) obd2 tool to lock the suspension and they're usually cool with it. -
Control arm fail
I really don't like Firestone, but have to grind through my teeth and smile through the whole process. I had a guy at Firestone that only did alignments and he could get them done in 45 mins, but he's no longer there. The other guys take their sweet time and often consults the service advisor... -
ZF8HP70 for ZF6HP28 swap?
Interesting... If I have bigger tires, can I simply swap out my 3.54:1 rear diff to a 3.73:1 to fix my acceleration, torque, mpgs, etc? What is the part number for the 3.73:1 rear diff? -
Idle Help
Don't read too much into that. I've been down the rabbit hole with charging. These vehicles are too electrically smart for its own good. The PWM alternator will get signals from the BCM and when working properly it will "SAVE" your battery from overcharging itself by maximizing charge levels up... -
Battery rundown protection?
Unfortunately, it's not heated any more. I live in Southern California and I rarely have a use for it to be heated. Up in the snow, I use my heated windshield. So, I'm not too concerned about using my windshield washer.
