djkaosone build thread
@djkaosone Cool build. You and I have the same trucks. I was looking for fun things to do with mine. I've done a few things, but I don't really consider it "a build" because anything I have added could easily be removed or is an option that could be found on a stock vehicle. This brings up...- BigBriDogGuy

Nickname for LR4?
I didn't know that^ I do know that boats and ships get named. B.B. King named his Gibson guitar "Lucille". Even the first atomic bombs were named "Fat Man" and "Little Boy". I'm confident my masculinity will remain intact if I name my car.- BigBriDogGuy

Nickname for LR4?
Seems like a lot of folks have nicknames for their rides. I'm thinking about "Stomper" because the shape reminds me of a hiking boot which we used to call a "Waffle Stomper". I've also considered "Escape Pod" or simply "The Pod" or "The Ark" (same idea). "My Precious"? (Maybe hitting too...- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
I found another Disco II that is a 2003 HSE 7 seat model in "White Metallic Gold". Guy is retired and bought it years ago and never got around to restoring it. Says it has some electrical issue that slowly drains the battery. (Alternator? Ground?). Sure is tempting. Saw a video where they...- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
Didn't mean to cause a brawl. Admittedly, I baby mine because I'm blind to any "ticking time bomb" problems that may be lurking beneath the surface. Expect to have a little extra cash to throw at it soon. Want to do all the preventative maintenance stuff and maybe a few performance upgrades...- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
@powershift I feel ya. The LR4 is nicer and I wouldn't trade it straight across. I just saw the Disco 2 that was all decked out and thought it was a really cool ride. I'm tempted by that Tapa engine too. Took a drive of over 600 miles round trip last weekend through Eastern Washington State...- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
Check this out. Wild third row seats with headrests to come down from the headliner. That can't be standard, right? And the gear in the rear door? Lots of character.- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
I've got my 2011 LR4 HSE Lux and am really enjoying it. However, I saw a Disco 2 for sale locally on Craigslist that is really cool and another that hasn't had anything done with it that could potentially be restored (project). Does the Disco 2 make any sense or would I be better served by...- BigBriDogGuy

2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1
Just made it back. Drove through the Grand Coulee Dam region of North Central Washington State. Highly recommend it if you ever get the chance. Beautiful country, like a mini-Grand Canyon, with crystal blue lakes. LR4 held up fine. Air conditioning was a god send when the temp got up above...- BigBriDogGuy

2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1
Okay guys, headed out on our great family adventure - camping trip. Wish me luck. Didn't have a lot of clearance pulling out of the garage fully loaded in access mode. Thinking about inflating the rear tires to 42 lbs. Not only is the roof rack loaded, but so it the back. Want to make sure...- BigBriDogGuy

2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1
Reserved a camping spot in a place called Marcus Island Campground a bit NW of Colville, WA, for this coming weekend. It's a 300 mile drive and over 6 hours, but the scenery should be spectacular. It's mostly secondary roads, including mountain passes through the North Cascades. It's sad and...- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold
@M32H32IS That's interesting. I will need to check that too. I feel like my engine compartment has been pretty hot lately (intermittently). Seems to happen more on short trips than longer drives. Why is that pressure when cold a problem?- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 to Defender direct comparison questions
I happened across this video from a channel called 4xoverland, hosted by Andrew St. Pierre White. He was comparing the Ineos Grenadier (as a replacement) to the old Defender. Not sure how legit the guy is but he did make an interesting point. After going down the line comparing capacities and...- BigBriDogGuy

Hot Hood. Hot engine compartment. Hot grill.
Thanks guys. Great feedback. My wife is a bit of a hypochondriac. There was a time when she insisted that she needed a full-body scan to diagnose any medical problems (or potential problems) she might have. Now I know the feeling! ;)- BigBriDogGuy

Hot Hood. Hot engine compartment. Hot grill.
Touched my hood and walked past the front grill and everything was really warm. Opened the hood and the inside surfaces were warm to the touch, to the point of being hot. Engine seems to be running fine. Just had the oil changed and the coolant level looked good, still does. Took a black...- BigBriDogGuy

Nuts & Bolts... and Screws (basically fasteners)
@f1racer328 Yup, just a bored out hole inside the metal panel inside the door. No clip or nut to secure the screw to. Hmm. Don't want to pull the entire door apart to look for a lost piece that's probably not even there. Maybe there is another way to go. Something like a drywall anchor that...- BigBriDogGuy
