    Need advice on LR4 20 inch wheel tire options

    I have the green oval 3 way rods (stock, lifted, emergency extra lift settings. You have to manually switch them but it only takes a few minutes). This allows my wife to drive around as stock (it is her DD) and then lift when we hit the trails. We went with the 255/50/20's as they don't run at...

    Should I trade in my 20inch rims?

    2 minutes man(maybe 3 as I don't time it), front rods pop over in a few seconds each and rears require a little more work (have to get under the truck) but they just pop from setting to setting. Tire size is 255/50 R20

    Should I trade in my 20inch rims?

    No rubbing, it is in stock configuration but I have the Green Oval rods to raise it when I want (3 positions, I leave it stock but can switch to a 2 inch lift in about 2 min)

    Should I trade in my 20inch rims?

    Mine were $1038 out the door at America's Tire with road hazard (which was used as I took out a nice chunk in Oregon) Tire was awesome though, no issues.

    Should I trade in my 20inch rims?

    I put the Nitto Tera Grappler G2's on our 20's and they have been awesome on and off road. Quiet on road and took on a week in the Oregon backcountry no issue. I didn't even air down.

    Front valve block leak

    No fuses needed to be pulled. It plumbs into the OEM air system and we used his compressor to inflate each corner. The trip was good. I didn't do the planning so I don't know if our options were limited to developed camp sites but that's where we stayed all but one night. The trail was good...

    Front valve block leak

    We did route 3 of the Oregon backcountry discovery trail. There were 9 trucks, 7 were LR3/4's. They all did very well except for the valve block issue. I took my wife's LR4 as it would have been a really long drive in the 110 when the temps got over 115F [emoji83][emoji91]Fortunately he had...

    Front valve block leak

    It's easy, we just did this "on the trail" up in Oregon on my buddy's LR4. I would get a new valve block and spend 20-30 minutes swapping it out. You have to move part of the front skirt in the wheel well out of the way and then it's just unscrewing or disconnecting the hoses depending on what...

    Map light cover removal?

    I just put a red led in the middle row dome light and replaced the others with bright white LEDs. I too found the rear cargo lacking so this weekend I will be adding a LED strip light to the rear cargo wired into the OEM light.

    Off roading upgrades

    Thanks Duchess! The LR4 is my wife's car and DD so all of my mods have to be stealthy. It takes a little more work but in the end I think it looks slick. You basically have to pry off all the trim and run wires but it hides everything. Also, not an off road upgrade but I replaced the front...

    Off roading upgrades

    For a dual battery set up I would say Traxide out of Australia. I have it in my LR4 and it works as advertised. I also have the National Luna kit for my 110 and it works well. But for the newer LR's I say go with Traxide. I installed a USB and volt meter in the back along with the fuse block...

    Passenger 12V port no power

    I thought about that, as I added a fuse block in the rear I figured it would be easy enough to run the wires. I may just jump the relay.

    Passenger 12V port no power

    Yeah I filed mine as well. Just a touch but so nice to have 2 USB ports up front. I'm mad at myself though as I forgot to make it an always hot port. I was running always hot wires for the HAM radio and should have run an extra set. I don't want to splice off the HAM circuit as I think it isn't...

    Passenger 12V port no power

    Yeah we just had 9 trucks up in Oregon and the 50W is awesome. We divided the group one day but had comms between them. Do you have the LUX w cooler box? If not one guy wired his unit into center cubby.

    Passenger 12V port no power

    As for the mic, the face plate is easy to use in this location but once the freq is set I use the mic. No extra long cord needed. I do use a retractable mic holder in the 110 and will probably be getting one for the LR4. There is a lot of clutter in the center console with phones and other...

    Passenger 12V port no power

    Correct. Sorry for the late reply I was playing in the backcountry of Oregon. Radio worked well but was too quiet. I bought an external speaker at a truck stop and all is good. Volume is at 1/4-1/3 max and I can hear it well. I used double sided tape to stick the speaker to the cross bar under...

    Passenger 12V port no power

    More The local plastics place (TAP Plastics) made me a wedge of plastic to angle the faceplate towards the driver and again I used my double sided tape to tape the wedge to the trim and the radio to the wedge. This tape is legit. I have used it for the same radio faceplate in the 110 and it...

    Passenger 12V port no power

    More Then I pope off the center console and ran the wire for the faceplate to the front of the passenger side (placing the USB port at this time). I notched the plastic so the cable wouldn't pinch and the HAM brain is in its mount which was modified to make it sit lower as it was rubbing on...

    Passenger 12V port no power

    Happy to share. I started w the dual battery kit and placed a fuse block in the rear storage area on the driver's side Then I ran power across the rear tailgate hinge to the fridge port and for the HAM radio which was placed under the passenger seat. I then drilled [emoji15] a hole in the upper...

    Passenger 12V port no power

    Dual battery for sure. I added the Traxide system and a few 12V ports. Next add on is a dual USB and volt meter for the rear cargo. I used this one in my 110 and love it. Currently the system is sitting on the bench waiting to be installed. You can separate the 2 components so as to hide them...

    Damaged CPO LR4

    Dood, David....seriously?? All the work you've done and you're testing the waters on selling it??? P-fab will be disappointed [emoji12] On the other hand, it is well equipped and has the HD package and who doesn't need two 2013 LR4's right? [emoji41]
