    Coolant Issue driving me crazy

    Did you drop the skid plate and inspect underneath? If its leaking from the rear xover, on mine it leaked down onto the bell housing and then transmission. If you use Land Rover coolant, with a black light there will be more visible evidence of a coolant leak.

    Trying to finish 5.0 timing job, engine not rotating smoothly

    I'd re-assemble and fire it up if you haven't already. There is going to be resistance rotating the cams against the valve springs. There are a lot of springs one for each valve so that is 32? If you had the heads off and it was like that then that would be sus.

    Window Rattled & Dislodged

    Nice recovery. If the window was stuck down that would have been a problem. Beautiful country out there and the bear shot is nice. Utah has some wild animals too, the shot below is out my passenger window.

    Resolving door squeaks?

    There is a new squeak when I shut the door and in the pic lower RHS it shows the squeak point where its been abrasive. Both drivers and passengers side rub there. I was thinking about applying some kind of lube but wanted to see what others use. Has anyone treated noise in that area?

    What Did You Do To Your LR Today?

    I took an orbital buffer to the clear coat haze that I had growing on the paint in a couple spots as well as the entire truck using a light abrasive rubbing compound with no fillers. It took the haze off the bumper completely, all the spider webbing and wipe marks from washing were rubbed off...

    Lr4 coolant bleed valve screw

    On my V8 the front xover has the factory plastic plug that isn't threaded and then I replaced the threaded plastic plug in the aluminum line that connects to the rear xover with a brass plug, but I couldn't find the part number. The front crossover plug doesn't screw in or out so I felt that it...

    Paint Cost

    My rig sits in the sun and I've been washing it sometimes 2 times a week using soap that has UV protection then using detail spray that has UV protection after washing every other week. But also after rain because the rain cleans the dirty air and leaves water spots. Even though the air seems...

    Hard, jarring, harsh ride over holes and road imperfections

    Aside from stiffness, there have been failures of 3rd party LCA. You want the Land Rover brand or the company that makes them for Land Rover. Thats what I bought for mine (the latter). When LCA's fail you will lose control of the truck. If you search the forum there were two reports with...

    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

    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...
