    Refueling out on the trail

    Well, after evacuating from Houston about 20 years ago and spending literally 17 hours doing what is normally a 4 hour drive, I built quite a rig and deployed it a total of once. Let's see if I can describe it so anyone can re-create. Sorry, on the lack of details, it's been a long time...

    2016 Auxiliary water pump

    There is the main water pump and another smaller pump that sends flow through the supercharger. But I have never heard of that smaller pump having problems. You probably lost the front crossover pipe. Assuming you have not already toasted the engine... Do it yourself, save $5K in dealership...

    Fuel Tank Shield/Skid Plate

    I remember the 1992 Isuzu Trooper. Sure glad that that one had a true skid plate over the gas tank. My wife still gives me a hard time about that one - but that rock sure didn't look that big!!

    Fuel Tank Shield/Skid Plate

    Google the part number. I see the OEM part in stock at Land Rover Paramus (NJ), but it's local pickup only. I also see it at Land Rover Cary (NC), and they will ship.

    New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0

    Can you please specify the fluid pump? When I did the transmission pan on the 2016 I used a big syringe from Mighty Vac and a length of Tygon tubing. It worked but was less than ideal. I need something better before I start on the 2013. Thanks!

    New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0

    I am in SE Houston, near NASA and Ellington Field. On my 2013 I am considering just changing the transmission fluid rather than the pan/filter (yes, yes, I know...), but it was not fun on the 2016 and will be worse on the 2013... Either way, it's scheduled for this "winter". If it helps, here...

    Meet the New Addition to the Family !

    The 2016 is loud when outside the truck, inside it sounds fine. There is no particular sound, timing chain or injector noise - just a general "roar". I know it's a virtually impossible question to answer.....

    Control Arms

    Unless you really want to mess around with new bushings to change how it rides, it's just not practical to press the bushings in and out. You would need to remove the arm and replace both both bushings and the ball joint. In my world it's just easier to replace the assembly. I have now done...

    UPDATE - Gasoline Odor - Is This Dealership BS??

    Well, dealership cannot locate any issues, and after it sits for a bit, I agree there is no gasoline odor, but one hint.... Gasoline smell is only immediately after filling it up.... After filling it up and poking around a bit I have determined it is the fuel tank. There is a drain hole in...

    UPDATE - Gasoline Odor - Is This Dealership BS??

    PLEASE SKIP TO MY COMMENT (UPDATE) BELOW (8/19/22) Not much to go on so far and no time to work the issue. Leaving in 4 days to return truck and daughter to University. Good chance I will not see the vehicle again for 10+ months, and possibly significantly longer. But will have 2,000 miles to...
