    really rough ride after installing new Toyo Open Country A/T 3 19"

    Spin balanced or road-force balanced? I have found that road force balancing is the only way to go on the LR4. Try that first

    Creaking when I turn left (comes from the right wheel)

    I have the same creaking. All new front suspension components. I attribute it to the poly sway bar bushing and ignore it.

    Bolt-on Roof Racks for LR4 Without Rails?

    Gobi roof rack doesn't use rails and $1500 includes the ladder, cross bars, and shipping. However, their lead times are usually super long.

    2010 lr4 whine

    Does it go away with increased rpm? While running at idle, can you isolate a general area? If it's not rotational, could be a loose vacuum connection. It's hard to say honestly without a general / specific location

    How to turn on sound when locking doors?

    Haha nice Look in the driver side battery box. Make sure that the horn connector is still connected. I think that the only way for it to NOT function is if it is disconnected. If you're bored, you can also push the panic button and see if the horn sounds. If not, I would say it is electrical...

    Struggling with Gap Tool Transfer of Ownership

    You're right. You will have to create an account. It's under "my products" (banner on top of account page). Then you will see "updater download" above "my units"

    Struggling with Gap Tool Transfer of Ownership

    You have the tool plugged into your laptop, but did you install the uploader tool onto your laptop? There should be a link on the GAP website to download the software. I would imagine that that is where you would unlock the tool.

    DMTL pump or leaking fuel filter (dust cover)

    I also have elevated fuel trims (+7% if I remember right) and some idle bogging when coming to a stop. The purge valve will definitely throw a code -- I forgot to plug the connector back in after supercharger reinstall. The truck was quick to tell me I messed up. I have a smoke tester. If I...

    DMTL pump or leaking fuel filter (dust cover)

    I think I may have posted to your thread suggesting the fuel pump (as that was the majority of Google articles), but it is definitely the DMTL pump. I wouldn't be as worried with it if it were not a new symptom. It just started after my whole misfire fiasco, and the DMTL did not run on my...

    DMTL pump or leaking fuel filter (dust cover)

    After checking my transmission fluid level and shutting off the vehicle, I thought I would finally check out whatever has been running under the rear of the truck. Using my poor man's automotive stethoscope (long pry bar to my ear), I found that the DMTL pump is continuing to run for about 2-3...

    (UPDATE) First Winter with the girl and...

    There have been those that have found disconnected ribbon cables underneath the driver-side a-pillar trim. If I remember right, one screw is located under the SRS cover and then it pops off. Google to verify though..

    Question for LR4 owners that switched to 18" wheels

    Answered you in the other thread. Get your caster checked.

    Finally eliminated (275/65R18) tire rub at frame horn

    Get your alignment checked. I bet your caster is off.

    Newbie to the LR4 - GAP tool a must?

    The manual is actually very helpful: https://www.gap-diagnostic.com/support/documents/IIDTool/

    Newbie to the LR4 - GAP tool a must?

    Yes. It pays for itself very quickly when you can diagnose an issue, update software (for a fee), and can monitor values in real time.

    TIRE noob HELP. Thought and input - Duratrac 275s

    The spacer moves the whole air strut assembly south 2.5 inches. The shorter rods adjust the air volume for this 2.5 inches, thus creating a vehicle that is 2.5 inches higher, but with the stock air bag volume (think stock springs) if you just use rods, it is like having stiffer springs. Anyway...

    I have the same. Highly recommended. Just ensure that you calibrate the suspension height accordingly.

    Head gaskets?

    Definitely sounds like a leaking thermostat. Or, one of the plethora of coolant hoses in that area. I could also be a water pump gasket. I would also check the valley underneath the intake manifold to see if you have any coolant in there. That would indicate the crossover pipe has failed...

    Head gaskets?

    Where exactly is the coolant landing on the ground? It will help us pinpoint where it is leaking on the engine.

    Head gaskets?

    Oil leak is most likely your driver side valve cover gasket. There are no other oil lines above the front driveshaft. I would recommend a compression test prior to tearing into the engine. It could save you a lot of unneeded work. Definitely verify what you are smelling from the exhaust. Also...

    Looking to purchase - 2012 - LR4 - Advice

    Yes, the cross over was replaced (LR018275). This is a good, thorough repair. I would say that 16K for this truck is a pretty good deal. Welcome back to LR4 ownership!

    Looking to purchase - 2012 - LR4 - Advice

    Sounds pretty good. No mention of cooling system maintenance though--water pump, crossover pipes, etc. When was the battery last replaced? What about brakes? Timing chain replaced (awesome) but were the tensioners replaced with the updated version? Nice that you will be receiving control arms...
