Multiple Errors - Parking Brake, Suspension, Fun!
Hi again LR Family, I've got a new round of errors I'm trying to sort out, and I'm researching old posts here to see if I can find similar issues. Apologies if I'm creating duplicates. 2012 LR4 - 5.0 V8 To start with the most pressing: The parking brake. I use the parking brake every time I... -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
I plan to, just haven’t acquired one yet. I had a kit for my previous vehicle that I sold but I mistakenly left it tucked in a storage compartment and I haven’t replaced it yet. -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Oh I can’t man, I have to have it. Been in enough situations where I’ve had to do a roadside repair (not in this rover mind you). I just feel most comfortable having it. Plus I don’t have the space to store it elsewhere. -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Oof that is pretty bad. I do live in Southern California for what it's worth and it won't be constantly exposed to inclement weather conditions (though we do have particularly aggressive UV Indexes here). If I'm honest with myself I expect if I were to get one and install it, it probably would... -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Yeah I run a 265/65/18 so only “slightly” upsized and I did get it to fit in the original spare location without the heat shield and fully deflated. But even that was a struggle. Your use case mirrors what mine will be, but we also have a second vehicle too. I just definitely use the “utility”... -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Seems to me that the nays have overtaken the yays I think the only drawback I can think of is the rear cargo access and that is enough of a consideration that I’m hesitating. It does make the temporary solutions sound appealing with the hitch mount but my advantage here was getting a barely... -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Interesting I’ve not seen that (though I do already have an LR hitch which I recently stripped and rebuilt) Edit: Just looked that up, that’s a neat thing! Wasn’t aware of those though I was familiar with Safari Gard as a company. I think that plus the hitch carrier would cost quite a bit... -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Great feedback and that’s the logic I was thinking of too since it already sucks to have to empty the trunk, take out my rubber mat, flip the third row seats up and THEN winch the tire down (which is tight in there as it is). I suppose I’m just torn, I see lots of pluses but I worry it will... -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Oh! That’s great to know I wasn’t aware of that. -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Yes please do! I’m down in Orange County. I’ve seen the hitch mount ones and I did think it was interesting but I was worried it would hang too low off the rear end kind of ruining the departure angle. I already came REAL close to scraping that back end just this weekend lol. -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
Ah my fellow Firenze. Ok so that’s exactly the kind of feedback I’m looking for and your use case mirrors my own. I use this thing every day and I’ve got one kid in a car seat with another on the way and I love the utility of it all. I don’t think the Terrafirma one is removable so perhaps I’ll... -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
For me it’s that my slightly upsized tire is an absolute PITA to get in place under the vehicle and getting it out from underneath is equally troublesome. I will be doing 5 tire rotations too so it won’t just sit underneath forever. Additionally when off roading my truck it’s “fine” with the... -
Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
So I’m *THIS CLOSE* to buying a rear tire carrier. I’ve seen so many posts, I’ve done my research and I just have I’ve just one more thought. In the day to day, how cumbersome are these to actually live with when it comes to accessing the trunk? I’m looking specifically at the terrafirma one... -
2012 LR4 - Diagnosing two separate vibrations
I think I have (unfortunately) figured out what the shudder I’m experiencing, I believe it to be related to a new discovery this weekend. As I was driving to the mountains I was using a lot of cruise control and noticed my tach was fluctuating. I still experienced the same shudder multiple times... -
Sudden Hissing near Valve Cover (5.0 V8)
Terribly sorry lol, but… you’re welcome? -
Exhaust solutions?
Yeah I'd love to hear some clips too! Most of the links I've found from past posts are dead. -
Sudden Hissing near Valve Cover (5.0 V8)
Thanks everyone, I was also strongly suspecting the PCV valves as well I just thought it was ironic that I had already ordered them and then to do as preventative work and then to have it suddenly **** out before I even get the parts. I must have felt it coming somehow! I'm not terribly worried... -
Sudden Hissing near Valve Cover (5.0 V8)
Hey everyone, I'm trying to sort something out. This morning I had a number of things all occur at once which were not exhibited yesterday. On starting the vehicle and under acceleration I'm getting some white smoke and water from the exhaust (though it's not billowing). Previously I would only... -
Exhaust solutions?
Necropost but I’d love to hear more LR4 exhaust options that are mild, with a little more growl. I’m sure many of us would want to keep things refined but a touch more aggressive to suit the engine displacement. -
2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers
I’m so glad I found this thread because I just realized my rear wiper wasn’t fitting properly (Bosch) and now I know I’m not crazy. -
Extend seat rail or increase stopping point distance?
I have tried lifting the seat bottom somewhat, but I probably just need to experiment more. Good insight though fellow tall guy! -
Extend seat rail or increase stopping point distance?
Yeah everyone has their different seating preferences to be sure. In my case I have primarily driven low, sporty hatchbacks and wagons, but in the last few years I spent with my Rivian I acclimated to having a higher vantage point. However, though the vehicle type has changed, what hasn't is my... -
Extend seat rail or increase stopping point distance?
I’m not obscenely tall, same as you at 6’2” but about 33” inseam and I think in combination with the high pedal placement (and my sz 13 shoes) it’s JUST tight enough to make me want a little more. But to be fair very few vehicles have fit me perfectly in my ownership history. I just can’t... -
Extend seat rail or increase stopping point distance?
I’m guessing I know the answer already but as I was playing around with the IID tool looking at various data points in my LR4 (not changing things, just observing) I started thinking about the seat position sensor and wondered if there is some way to adjust the stopping point of the seat rails... -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
Oh wow I'm surprised you were able to fit it underneath with the heat shield in place. I had to remove mine to fit the KO2 which by the numbers is slightly smaller (also fully deflated).
