I just completed the rotors and pads for all four corners. Nothing difficult about it. The videos I watched on YouTube do a good job of describing the process.
The EBC pads and rotors fit perfectly.
After hearing the overpriced brake service charges from some folks on the board, I decided I would do my own brakes when the time came.
I'm at 27K miles and probably still have some life in the rotors and pads but I ordered EBC yellow pads and their zinc coated rotors online. With Shipping...
You can easily cut that down to ~$1200. I just paid ~$680 for new rotors and pads and plan to install it myself. It's REAL easy. Then you can buy the OE tires used from someone who is upgrading their tires to something more aggressive.
If you changed your rotors during the last brake job you...
The front diff is the biggest pain the ass compared to the others because you need to take the front skid plate off.
The drain hole is front and center once the plate is removed.
I found the same gunk on the front drain plug.
To get the best access to the fill hole I removed...
The transfer case was a piece of cake.
The drain plug is right underneath and the fill hole is above on the drivers side. It's still tough to fill so I used a hand pump to push the oil in.
The plugs were nice and clean.
The consistency of the transfer case fluid is closer to...
Well, I finally had the time to get underneath the truck and do the work.
Nothing too complicated just a bit time consuming. I think it took me about 2.5 hours and it could probably be done quicker once you familiarize yourself with the process.
I purchased all the fluids from my local...
The process to remove is easy but you'll need to replace the long trim piece on each side from the dealer. Just follow these instructions in reverse order to remove.

ok boys...step one complete...
I went to the dealer today and picked up 2 quarts of oil for the transfer case, 2 quarts of oil for the rear diff with locker and 2 quarts for the front locker. Anyone care to guess how much it cost?? $200...I kid you not. Freaking hilarious....I think I did a...
Has anyone seen any write ups on how to change the differential and transfer case fluids on the LR4?
Umberto's engine oil service video gave me the courage to do the engine oil and I'd like to do more DIY maintenance.
Cheers!
The design is change for the sake of change but in all fairness every manufacturer does this to an extent, especially last model years.
Congratulations on the car!
My buddy has the same warranty but on the LR3. When the dealer found shavings in his rear diff and it was determined that he needed to the diff to be replaced the warranty company gave him a used diff. Apparently the fine print allows them to determine whether they will pay for new or used...
I think we definitely need an offroad pic and video thread. Maybe it will get my ass in gear. I typically like exploration types of trips, so I don't go to HOA areas. I drive 3-9 hours each way to my destination...its a bit of a pain at times but the I love the extremely remote areas. I've been...
