Control arm fail
Find another Firestone. Most likely the one you went to don't have the proper equipment. I usually tell them I plugged in my (Gap) obd2 tool to lock the suspension and they're usually cool with it. -
Control arm fail
I really don't like Firestone, but have to grind through my teeth and smile through the whole process. I had a guy at Firestone that only did alignments and he could get them done in 45 mins, but he's no longer there. The other guys take their sweet time and often consults the service advisor... -
ZF8HP70 for ZF6HP28 swap?
Interesting... If I have bigger tires, can I simply swap out my 3.54:1 rear diff to a 3.73:1 to fix my acceleration, torque, mpgs, etc? What is the part number for the 3.73:1 rear diff? -
Idle Help
Don't read too much into that. I've been down the rabbit hole with charging. These vehicles are too electrically smart for its own good. The PWM alternator will get signals from the BCM and when working properly it will "SAVE" your battery from overcharging itself by maximizing charge levels up... -
Battery rundown protection?
Unfortunately, it's not heated any more. I live in Southern California and I rarely have a use for it to be heated. Up in the snow, I use my heated windshield. So, I'm not too concerned about using my windshield washer. -
Battery rundown protection?
I helped Lensun with the very first LR3/LR4 hood solar panel fitment. The first panel was off by a lot hitting the spray nozzles. The first one that fit correctly, I still had to dremel the nozzle holes. Anyhow, that $400 hood solar panel slowly died under a year and completely died 1.5 years... -
Battery rundown protection?
Hmm... I wonder if anyone has looked at the electrical diagram to trace out the common wire for all the door switches? Maybe have a switch that opens the circuit while camping and the doors opening or closing wouldn't matter. -
Affixing rear heater lines
Just grab a 50 ft roll of 5/8" heater hose. AC Delco/Gates heater hose $40: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C9NINU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good time to relocate the factory hard lines from the soft lines at the bottom of the passenger side for bigger tire... -
Loosing a little bit of coolant
It's the age-old debate over distilled water is pure water, and tap water has too much minerals, fluoride, etc... and if you're in Flint you're sol for the past 10 years. :bandit: I didn't want to go into it and that's why I just said, "water". :) I have a water softener and just did that... -
Loosing a little bit of coolant
Although both JLR and Dexcool are both OAT, I still don't recommend mixing coolants. I had to completely flush out the coolant until clear including the rear hvac for about 7x before switching over to dexcool. Pro tip, just flush with water until clear and on the last drain you can fill with 1.5... -
ZF8HP70 for ZF6HP28 swap?
I wonder if you can swap out the TC, transmission, and the TCM as a set? Maybe you'll get the hi/lo gears too, if you don't already have it. -
Loosing a little bit of coolant
I'm glad I've swapped over to dexcool a few years ago. I dumped 1.5 gallons of dexcool to get home, about 250 miles away. Imagine trying to find Land Rover coolant in an emergency, good luck. Moral of the story, be prepared and when you encounter an issue be over-prepared. So, you won't be stuck... -
Loosing a little bit of coolant
Bet none of you ever seen a leak like this. Found this beauty of a leak at the radiator mount. I guess I drive so hard that its ripping the mount off the radiator. New radiator on its way, but w t f! Leaks can come from anywhere. -
LR4 Tailgate not opening
Not to knock on LRP's version, they're nice, but it looks just like these recliner cables for $10. I'm sure the LRP version is a complete setup with mounts, brackets, etc... But for those that don't want to opt for the $100 version or didn't have the option at the time it's fairly easy to do and... -
Think these will fit?
Looks nice! Pick up some used BMW center caps and remove the metal logo plate. It'll complete the look. -
LR4 Tailgate not opening
I highly recommend to everyone to do this mod when addressing tailgate issues. This will give you a manual release option for the price of a recliner chair pull cable. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/lr3-lr4-required-upgrade-prevent-rear-door-failure-for-25.159873/ -
Tyre Trek Swing Away
I had the Yakima Swingback and the arm hits the tailgate. Tire carriers with the raised arm like these images will hit the tailgate. If you want, I can take some measurements between the hitch and tailgate when I get home. Just looking at the picture, I'm guessing there's about 4" between... -
Bleeding brakes and brake reservoir
It looks pretty dark. New Pentosin CHF 202 or CHF 11 fluid is almost clear. -
Rear crossover pipe screw stripped..
Try using PB Blaster penetrating spray on it. -
Rear crossover pipe screw stripped..
The last pic doesn't look like it's stripped. Are you sure you're using a T30 (torx bit)? I love using my tiny bit ratchet in tight areas, just fit the T30 bit on it. https://a.co/d/fhsleOR -
Think these will fit?
Interesting, on mine, both sides have a 3mm gap. You can definitely grind the corners a bit for clearance. Just don't overdue it. -
Think these will fit?
@Wrstewart Those are THE exact wheels I have. I've put them through some pretty tough stuff and was fine. I've even gone 50 mph on desert sand hitting a huge ditch that dented my FRO sump skid plate and the wheels are fine. 1 of the front wheel dented the barrel, but didn't have an issue driving... -
Alternatives to GAP tool?
Where'd you get the JLR SDD software from? You can DM if you don't feel comfortable posting it. -
Control arm fail
If anyone is seriously thinking about getting the Lucky8 HD kit, make sure you weld tabs to strengthen the top and bottom of the bushing body, especially towards the front. I got my Meyle HD LCAs and Inner Tie rods on yesterday, waiting for the alignment later on today. Lets hope this will... -
Control arm fail
Oh, this happened to me too with THE exact Lucky8 HD poly LCAs. I was out on an easy trail and the front RH LCA snapped on me at the exact same place pulling out the axle at the CV joint and pinched the air strut. I was lucky to have friends source the parts and travel 150 miles next day to get...
