    Toque steer?

    Damn, good catch. Didn't even think of that. And, it makes sense. The sticking caliper (most likely front right in this case) would bind after coming to a stop. Applying the brakes would push the pistons into the back of the pad and force the caliper to slide on the carrier pins. If the...

    Front skid plate options?

    No problem! Auto-correct fail though. It's Voyager not voyages

    Front skid plate options?

    Voyager makes a skid plate that integrates with their hidden winch mount. Its looks pretty solid. I'm on the fence between the voyages set up and an ARB bumper.

    Toque steer?

    I use firestone's lifetime alignment and have had to make them redo it a couple of times. Can you post a picture of the printout? If the alignment is indeed correct, I'm not 100% sure. It could be clutches in the front diff are worn causing torque vectoring to one side. I would think, if that...

    Oil leak.

    That is a power steering hose. If you feel comfortable, and have the tools, anything can be DIY. If you want a shop to do it, it may be a good idea to get it towed. Personally, I wouldn't drive it.

    Transmission crud on pan magnets

    Thank you!

    Battery Issue? AGM Lifetime?

    You're not crazy. It's the power supply distribution box (PSDB). I cover this same issue in my traxide install thread: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2014-2016-traxide-dual-battery-kit-lessons-learned.42404/ In your case, check for any codes (AutoZone or your own code reader) and also...

    Transmission crud on pan magnets

    Evening land rover support group. I posted this question in the "what I did today" thread, but I'm sure it got buried. Any concern with the amount of transmission gunk found on my pan magnets? ~70k Thanks, everyone

    Transmission issue when cold?

    Good point. I use this. $98 for a case of 12:

    There she blows, (maybe coolant crossover)

    I would say it depends on mileage and what pipes you have. Like I posted earlier. If your upper crossover pipe looks like the left picture, you should probably upgrade to the right picture before it splits along the seam:

    Front passenger axle threads stripped by axle nut...looking for advice

    I've always used a small pry bar. Quick popping movement normally unseated the circlip

    Transmission issue when cold?

    Great list! Consider the bridge seals as well: Sealing sleeve and adapter kit 6HP26/28/32 https://www.thectsc.com/products/sealing-sleeve-and-adapter-kit-6hp26/28/32-242-50.html

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    Dry sweep, an actual shower, and an unearned sense of accomplishment made it all better. I wandered AutoZone and put these two kits together.

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    I did a transmission drain and refill at 65K, but I'm one commute short of 70K. So, today was transmission pan swap day. All in all, it wasn't bad. I used this little guy to get the 7ish bolts above the two cross members: Maybe it is common knowledge, or I didn't read enough going into...

    High Pitched Squeal

    Check the seal along the top of the windshield. Mine actually came loose on the drive home from purchasing it :D Not sure if it would cause a high pitched noise or not; but another thing to check I guess.

    ProSpeed Rack - any local inventory in SoCal

    Jayson, I am pretty sure lucky8 is the only us-based supplier. They currently have 18 racks on their waiting list with an average wait of 2-3 months. You can most certainly order directly from prospeed, but I am not sure what their current production and shipping tines are. Good things come...

    Cruise control unavailable?

    Hope these help. The black is hardwired, yellow is high speed canbus, and red is LIN.

    I use one of these in one socket (mounts flush): And this in the other socket (it has a usb power port built in)

    LR4 Error Codes

    Much better truck than the last one. Like @cperez said, I would still get an inspection. I would most certainly jump on this one though if the inspection checks out

    There she blows, (maybe coolant crossover)

    Definitely a different part. The early pipes looked like the 5.0 (two halves plastiwelded together). The newer rendition (shared with the newer discovery) looks like an evenly formed pipe--no seams. Old, 5.0 one piece pipe: Side-by-side old and new two-piece pipes (top two pictures):

    LR4 Error Codes

    Ok, I'll be the Jwest in this situation. I stand by what I said. You do not want this LR4. Like @cperez said... and I'll embellish...don't fall in love with this thing. You have no idea what is causing the codes, and neither does the "reputable" shop. The LR4 does a self check at start up...

    What oil are you using?

    Royal purple 5W-20.

    LR4 Error Codes

    Dude... that is a lot of codes. Looks like a cascading LIN or canbus issue causing the majority of the codes. The P0018 could be bad sensors... Or, it could be skipped timing. Unless you want a project vehicle, I would decline..

    Reverse Light Wiring Question

    I think that would be the simplest solution. Adding a fuse tap would alleviate looking for the wire, tapping it, etc. It's a 12v system. The electrons only travel so fast... Or something like that. Alternator voltage would be the max voltage and that is metered by the regulator.
