    Window Rattled & Dislodged

    A bit over 3000 miles into my adventure/vacation I was riding around on whatever gravel roads I could find around Moran, WY looking for wildlife in the drizzle I had my first real mishap. The window fell out of the lift mechanism. I heard a rattle in the door when I got out parked off...

    Pulsing while steering

    After a couple of tire rebalances and an alignment I don't have any vibration at speed (70mph) anymore. The shop did leave the steering wheel ever so slightly off 12 o'clock though. One of those things I'd like them to make right, but not at the expense of my time or the risk of them making...

    Auxillary Fuel Tank

    This is going to be a long one, strap in. I ordered the Long Range America tank for my LR4 back in mid-January, delivery didn't happen until mid-June because of current events. It sat in my basement for a couple of months while I tended to other things, but I finally got around to installing...

    What are y'all favorite 12v ignition sources? Looking to wire in an accessory I only want on with the ignition.

    Oil Reminder

    I've long thought about an oil reminder to put over the start button. If I had a 3D printer, it would be some little flip up cover like a fighter jet. I don't have a 3D printer though, so I went with PBAD instead. Paper board aided design. Whenever I want to check the oil the next time I get...

    Control Knobs

    Anyone know the part numbers for the control knobs? I may have gotten a little aggressive with the cleaning and they are all very gummy now. If not I may just try to finish the job with an eraser wheel.

    GONE - LR4 Running Boards

    I was giving these away and they're gone. I just finished putting rock sliders on yesterday. The running boards that came off are in pretty good shape. They've been through a couple New England winters, so aren't perfect. If you want them you have to come get them. Simply too big and...

    Under Hood Insulation

    I know on some cars the under hood insulation and engine cover actually protect the hood from overheating. Is that the case with our LR4s? I've got a family of mice that have moved in to the under hood insulation and I would like to not only evict them, but raze their home.* *There's a...

    Shipping for Vacation

    Any of you ever ship a vehicle to a destination for vacation? We're going to Yellowstone in September and with my wife's work schedule time off is limited so adding several days on the front and back end to drive from the east coast isn't in the cards. There's a possibility I make the drive...

    Phone Mount

    For one of my other vehicles I found a company that made a slick mount that used a T20 screw hidden behind a bezel. A couple days ago I grabbed a plastic pry bar to pop the hand rest trim off so I could start thinking. I bent up some paper board to model it. Traced that onto a piece of 22ga...

    Dipstick

    As we are all aware some dipstick decided these things don't need a dipstick. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to turning the truck on to check the oil. My reflex is to always have my foot on the brake and that starts it. While I had the motor out I messed around a little trying to fab up a...

    Bullet Proof Control Arm Bushings

    Going to admit that I was a little slow digesting why someone would need a bushing that can withstand a direct hit from a rifle round.

    Open to Suggestions

    So at just under 104k miles I've had a rod bearing stop doing it's job. Admittedly the vehicles been driven less than 10 miles in this condition. I've only had it for 18 months and less than 10k miles. Two oil changes have been done in that time, last one 1,200 miles ago. With the obvious...

    Noise? Rod Knock

    Running some errands around town and thought I heard a little ticking noise. Played around with throttle position to see if I could make it happen. Goes away while coasting. Pulled into a parking lot about 4 miles from my house and it sounded like belt squeal as I was turning. Sounds real...

    8-Speed Transmission Pan

    I was getting some hard shifting while the transmission was cold and being at a little over 100k miles I figured it was time to drain it, drop the pan and put a new one in. Ordered the kit from Atlantic it went pretty well, putting my experience here to maybe help others. Transmission cross...

    Terrafirma Accessories

    Thought I'd post something that might be of use to other members instead of my usual, "please help me". Put the the terrafirma roof rack, ladder, and tire carrier on my truck last fall. A few tips and tricks for anyone else out there. The roof rack comes with stainless hex drive bolts. Toss...

    U3000-63 & "Park Aid Unavailable"

    Installed the terra firma rear tire carrier on my '15 LR4 last fall and it would intermittently trigger the inner passenger side back up sensor. Fast forward to winter and I get "Park Aid Unavailable" with a very annoying beep at start-up. I just pulled the tire carrier and bumper off. I...

    New Tools

    Bought these because my project car is a pain to lift with a floor jack. Figures their first use is for maintenance and repairs on the lr4. (Oil change, vacuum pump, and transmission pan) Took a bit to set up and level the driver's side.

    Solenoid Leak

    While looking for a good recovery point* on the front of my '15 LR4 (SCV6) I noticed a bunch of oil on various lines under there. Traced it up to what looks like some type of solenoid that is next to the crank pulley. What is this? Assume it needs a new o-ring and that I'm not going to be the...
