    Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4

    A front blew threw the other day bringing light snow, but I haven't driven in the snow yet with the LR4. Been thinking about going North for the snow.

    Ironman 4x4 Drawers

    Carabiners might suite you well when trying to secure cargo with the drawers in place. They make tying things off quick and easy.

    Timing chain…

    Mine didn't have codes before the chain was replaced. I was just making suggestions since its hard to tell what the problem is from here. It is possible that misfires and too much slack in the chain are related, if in fact your chain has too much slack.

    Timing chain…

    I had a chain and/or cam actuator (clack) issue and before getting it fixed on my '12 V8, I could stick my finger in the oil file hole and when pressing down on the chain it moved. After the maintenance the chain is as stiff as a board. It also had 4 new cam actuators installed, $1k in parts...

    Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4

    During your skid maneuvering, the computer navigates the rig in the direction that you are pointing the wheel to. Don't try to correct it and instead steer to where you want to go. Its a learning curve to trust it vs try to correct by steering into the slide. With DSC mode off you might be able...

    front drivetrain noise

    I'm overlanding with it full time now and left the apartment life. I'm testing it doing a shake down run and getting other issues worked out with my gear (like with Starlink) so that I can travel more confidently across the Western mountains and deserts that are more remote and further off the...

    front drivetrain noise

    I drove on the same desert path where I had those strange noises I was asking about and didn't hear either noise. I did hear a new clack in the front left suspension and very thick gauge steel noise and these noises happen while going uphill. Previously I've been listening to music most of the...

    Sunroof Drain...or so I thought!

    That hole looks suspect, good detective work. I'd be pointing the finger at the glass guy but maybe it was already there before.

    front drivetrain noise

    That Toyo tire seems to be the most aggressive tread pattern I've seen for the LR4. I planned to get that one next. The thump timing seems faster than an outer tire rotation.

    front drivetrain noise

    I think the frequent offroad usage is exposing some problems in my rig. I drove in 4low the other day for 1/8 mile in the desert going through gears 1-3. It was a lot of fun hitting second with regular throttle because the shifts are firm. But now I'm hearing some new noises a few days later...

    How is your project coming along? I might be right behind you lol.

    Battery rundown protection?

    I made improvements to the charger for the starter battery by picking up some alligator clips and wiring. Its a lot easier to connect/disconnect the charger. I'd like to hard wire an Anderson connector to the battery and fasten it in the big space on the front passenger side. There was a post...

    ZF8HP70 for ZF6HP28 swap?

    For the 2012 model year 4th gear tops out at 121 MPH according to a brochure. 4th gear is a beauty. I can't wait to be on private roads in Mexico to wind it out. It does seem like a plausible claim because it will do 100 MPH easily.

    Battery rundown protection?

    I've been opening a frequently used door and then latching it with my finger. Doing that enables the door to be open and mostly shut with the ground light off and the system goes back to sleep. Luckily the designers were thinking about battery draw when they wired the rear hatch and tailgate...

    2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!

    Use an air compressor to blow out the drains. You could rent one and still save money DIY.

    Idle Help

    Thanks for the link. Interesting theory. My Land Rover service manual is only for 2009-2011. Maybe the manual for the 2012+ discusses that, I haven't been able to find it online. It does seem odd that I can't add a charged battery w/out telling the system or it will malfunction. If the engine...

    Where did you read that you shouldn't charge the battery with the posts? I've been doing that daily lol.

    ZF8HP70 for ZF6HP28 swap?

    The 8 speed looks pretty good, it has 6th gear as 1:1. It also has a numerically higher first gear so it would feel like a power gain off the line after a swap.

    It sounds to me like your alternator isn't putting out enough amps. I'd replace that if it isn't already fresh. Or you could measure the amp draw during the problem phase and compare the result with the required amount.

    ZF8HP70 for ZF6HP28 swap?

    Get a baseline dyno run so you can compare them after the swap. I looked for a shop in Vegas to do a 4wheel dyno and found one that did my control arms, but didn't go back since I ran out of time. But it would be interesting to see how much power it puts down to the ground and what the power...

    I would destroy that OBD2 reader. Take it out behind the barn and shoot it before it breaks something.

    Removing rear seats?

    I didn't go the drawer route. I use gear bags instead and that enabled the conversion the area when the weather is bad from sleeping to a workspace with space for a 27" monitor, 17" laptop and a tower PC. Its a pretty sweet setup. Collapsing all the rear seats completely so there is a flat space...
