    Anyone try starlink while mobile?

    I hadn't seen that link. It specifically calls for Gen3 performance and I don't have that one, just Gen3 standard. But after further research mobile use should work on my plan, unlimited roaming through US/Canada. I had the idea to instead of placing the dish on top of my gear stack facing out...

    Anyone try starlink while mobile?

    I put a Starlink Gen3 in the back of the LR4 and it worked when I was parked but once I started traveling the signal dropped. Gemini is telling me we have special glass that is blocking signal, I'm pretty sure if its nonsense. Has anyone tried using Starlink while driving around? "Modern Land...

    Land rover LR4 Supercharged swap

    Nice work! Tbh, I don't know but could you get a cam profile control from the RRS SC? I would think the timing is different between the two engines.

    ARB Fridge

    That is a nice setup. I started keeping my refer in the back and found that even with a 4" insulated air mattress, the refer vibrates through the seats. To fix that I set it on a pillow and 2nd air mattress to isolate the vibrations. I'm curious if you sleep in the cargo area and if so do you...

    Undoing a tune - do I need a new ECM?

    It depends on your smog rules. In CA if the ECM is modified with a tune then it will never pass even after reverting to a stock tune.

    H11, H8, H9, and H16 Bulbs: Which One Do I Actually Need?

    I'd stick with the H11 since that is what it calls for. On my fog lights the factory brightness is enough to drive off-road w/out headlights at night. Seems like it is enough light for its purpose even though I don't use them in fog lol. We don't really have fog here but the rear laps when on...

    Shifting hard into reverse

    Sand mode isn't needed. Driving back to camp from the highway offroad in 1st was all that was needed to fix the hard reverse gear change. It was also 10F hotter (104F vs. 92F on last attempt) today and the shift into reverse was smooth as buttah. It seems pretty clear now I was abusing 2nd...

    So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

    For a Grenadier compromising on some power is worth it, I like everything about it. Especially the tech-less features. I use a 4" air mattress in back of my LR4 and realistically the Grenadier looks like it is the only option on the market that is better than the LR4. Is there enough room in...

    So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

    Nice rig. Did you get it fully locked? I've read a Motortrend review on them and they like them a lot. The Land Cruisers and Toyota redesigns look nice, but yeah ball-less and too much tech especially EV features. The LR4 5.0L V8 can take them easily. Now if Grenadier would offer a V8 that...

    Multiple dash warnings: Stability control not available / emergency brake assist not available / gearbox fault

    If your alternator is not the Land Rover brand and it was bought from the parts store then that could be your problem. I hear there is 1 alternative to Land Rover brand, but don't recall what it is. The problem is the compatible alternators are expensive so people buy cheaper alternators then...

    Shifting hard into reverse

    Its all smooth transitions in those cases. Coming back the same path when its at operating temperature instead of command mode I put it in sport mode and sand mode right off the highway. Maintaining normal speed the tranny never left 1st gear all the way to camp traveling less than 10 MPH, there...

    Shifting hard into reverse

    All forward gears work as expected and when driving around parking lots and such reversing after long city drives is no problem. But when I get to camp and want to transition from forward to reverse, it shifts hard into R and its not a normal shift while in 4H. I had thoughts of it being fluid...

    Disappointed in Wix

    I looked at Purolator and Fram brands of oil filters today to consider them. On the Purolator filters they claim an American band, but then in the fine print it literally reads on the box "See product for country of origin" in 2 or 3 places. Fram is made in Mexico which tbh could be fine. I...

    Disappointed in Wix

    If it were RAM or SSD's made in china that is different but for auto parts industry including tires I want made in America, UK or somewhere like Germany with BMW, maybe Italy where Ferrari is lol. Look at Lewis Hamilton he walks around like a prince now. The Brits are F1, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy fans...

    Multiple dash warnings: Stability control not available / emergency brake assist not available / gearbox fault

    I've had the wheel sensor related codes from a loose battery connection. Bad power from the alternator could conceptually cause problems too. I hear they may start failing at 140k miles.

    Stellantis-Based Defender

    Land Rover is pairing with Stellantis to build a new Defender. I hope its a body-on-frame design with a 700+ HP V8, they are known for that! But the new Jeep Cherokee Trail hawk coming out is a puny 4 banger unibody so there is that. If you look at RAM offerings there could be hope...

    Brake Pad Rattle Advice

    Pulsing can be from warped rotors and they can warp from being cheap as well as getting them super hot and parking, but not limited to that.

    Blown head gasket or did water spill into cylinder while taking off intake manifold?

    Land Rover did some unethical things and I think they intentionally want people to ruin their engine by designing in defects. Most of the time when the engine overheats from a burst plastic pipe its a one-and-done situation. The overheat situation also applies to diesels too that are aluminum...

    2010 LR4 5.0 V8 intermittent driver-side ticking — exhaust leak?

    Yeah, it seems it could be related to the timing chain and/or actuators. I wonder if there is something inside the actuator that is ******. On mine the chain is tight asf. I can't verify the shop that did my chain work installed new actuators but they talked about installing them and charged me...

    2010 LR4 5.0 V8 intermittent driver-side ticking — exhaust leak?

    My 5.0L has that problem too, maybe worse sometimes. It was 100% reproducable before I had the chains done. Now at operating temperature and then park at the store then leave I'll hear it. Give it revs to 2K and it will smooth out in a couple minutes. Not sure *** but I know I'm not paying...

    Disappointed in Wix

    I paid about $30 for my chitty Wix filters at Orielly, the Hengst is half that cost. I wonder if NAPA Gold is now re-labled china wix. At one time NAPA had Wix build their filters with their own specs a little dumbed down compared to the name brand. I wouldn't be surprised if it fell apart. Here...

    Disappointed in Wix

    Decades ago as a teenage parts delivery boy Wix was the *******. All the quality parts shops, farmers, all wanted wix. I pulled out the wix oil filter last time out and couldn't fit the new filter in. Confused, I found the filter came apart and the plastic of the filter was stuck inside the...
