    HD vs non-HD package LR4

    I have to go with KTM and Avslash. A 4x4 without 4 low and a CLD is just a mall crawler. I would not worry too much about the LR4 having rear lockers or not. Certainly worth hunting for, but you can always add ARB front lockers. Which is high on my “wanna get” list. And 4 low goes without...

    Suspension Fault Issues

    Haha. I’m going through a number of those issues now at 178,000 miles. (286,400 km). I just haven’t gotten around to replacing the compressor yet. My motto is never buy made in China. (I deviated from that motto once, and it bit me right in the ****). I am assuming that the first...

    Compomotive 18” Wheel; Quality Control Issue

    I like your idea. I will have to study up in the use and application of the K2 product. I am guessing YouTube should have an endless supply "how to" videos for me to watch.

    Roof Rack Wind Noise Help !

    Issue: Roof rack is making wind noise when traveling at moderate rates of speed. Cause: As the air flows through and around the rood rack, it creates a harmonic resonance that you hear as noise. Solution: Disrupt the flow of air. This can be done by wrapping your crossbars with something...

    2012 versus 2015 LR4

    As an owner of a 2012 LR4 HSE, I’ll tell ya, I dig my LR4. Regardless of your final decision, I would lobby heavily for the HSE trim level. A things come to mind. 1) 2012 has more HP & torque— 375HP/375 lb. v. 340HP/332 lb. 2) The 2012 has a more comprehensive service history. Make...

    Compomotive 18” Wheel; Quality Control Issue

    True, expensive proposition for sure. Could be cheaper to buy new wheels from Lucky8.

    Compomotive 18” Wheel; Quality Control Issue

    UV? Hmm. Now that is an interesting proposition to consider. UV rays can do a lot of damage to a coating if the coating was not properly formulated with UV blockers. You might be on to something there. I can sink my teeth into that possibility.

    Compomotive 18” Wheel; Quality Control Issue

    On the surface that sounds like a valid point. But, Dawn has a pH of 9.0 - 9.5 as a concentrate and it is also formulated with buffers so it’s gentle on your skin. Its dilution ratio is anywheres from 128:1 to 150:1, hence, pH would not be a root cause. Industrial fallout, namely, brake dust...

    Compomotive 18” Wheel; Quality Control Issue

    I bought 5 Compomotive Wheels part number PD1880 directly from Compomotive Motorsports, UK, back on September, 2019. Paid $500 USD per wheel. That includes freight from UK to Huntington Beach, California USA. Check out the pictures. I am very sad at the terrible QC exhibited by...

    SoCal Trails With Most Bang for the Buck

    Guide to California Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails by Charles A. Wells and Matt Peterson It was stated before, but it is worth repeating. It’s an excellent book to have with you. Full of good advice and information on so many trails. My favorite spot for local day trips is the backside...

    2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options

    Just curious. What’s your plan if you have a catastrophic air suspension failure while you’re driving off-road? Also, your bumper looks like a Tactical 4x4 build. Is that what you have there?

    2010 LR4 Off-road wheel and tire options

    LOL - Yup, looks like I went down that same path. I opted for the Compomotive 18" wheels (PD1880) and BFG T/A KO2 265/65R18. But, I really wanted to put some 33" shoes on the rig. And like you, I bit the bullet and cut the frame horns and welded in a patch. No looking back now, the deed is...

    Interesting Overland setup

    HAHA - Not sure where to go with that!

    Greetings from San Moritz, California

    Hi BBDG - I have ordered 5 new tires from America's Tire. Currently running with BFG All Terrain T/A KO2 265/65R18. (31.5") I was going to put on 33.4" (275/70R18) tires but is was a tight fit. So I elected to run with 32.4" tires from Mickey Thompson, the Baja Boss A/T 275/65R18. (Yes, I...

    2013 to 2014 Face Lift Headlight Install

    Speaking of headlights. My 2012 LR4 would literally burn through headlight bulbs like crazy. At once every year or so. It was so bad that I literally carried an extra set of replacement bulbs as a matter of routine. Two years ago I switched over to LED lights for the H-11 headlamp. Problem...

    2012 HSE 5.0 V8 Engine Rattle

    Sounds like a timing chain tensioner. Obviously, it is next to impossible to diagnose from a video clip. My suggestion is to take it to a independent LR shop/mechanic. Congrats and good luck. Dean - 2012 LR4 HSE w/ 177,000 miles - Compomotive 18" Wheels - Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T...

    Overlander Question

    Just adding my two cents. I bought my CPO 2012 Land Rover LR4 HSE with 32,000 miles on it in 2015. I now have 177,000 miles on it. During that time, I’ve had just one breakdown. It happened about seven days after I was off roading in the Mojave Preserve. I had a front left wheel bearing...

    Greetings from San Moritz, California

    Hello everyone, I'm Dean from Crestline, California. Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I bought my certified preowned Santorini Black 2012 LR4 HSE in the summer of 2015 with 30,000 miles on the odometer. Since then I have made the following upgrades to the stock setup. (I currently...

    LR4 Accessories

    You are right about that! The Tactical 4x4 Rock Sliders are the real deal. I have them and the Tactical Front Bumper on my 2012 LR4. They are extremely well made.

    Wheel/Tire combinations

    In my humble opinion, you really only have two, maybe three, choices for the 255/55R19 wheel. Recognizing that there are more than 50 tire choices for your consideration, it really boils down to what you want. First, for a dedicated Highway Tire (HT) the choices are plentiful. Second, if...
