    Reinforce fuel tank cradle?

    Anyone ever thought about reinforcing the fuel tank cradle? It looks like the lucky 8 skid plate doesn't add anything other than another layer/thicker material to the mix? Wondering if I can just sandwich an aluminum sheet to it as long as there's no sharp edges/ bolts that can poke the tank...

    Thought the front end structure was an aluminum casting

    Trimming a bit for a winch install. Didn't think the cast part supporting the front was magnesium.....now I know. Was like a big flash bang

    Less intrusive auxillary switches?

    Wanted to add some additional circuits for lighting. Turns out the Auxbeam AS-R60 fits into the console stack pretty neatly. Popped the wood trim off the ashtray and screwed directly to the insert. Bought it from eBay after "watching" then they offered $145 price. Amazon has it for $169. Tapped...

    Anyone have experience repairing/splicing the most fiber connection? Center dash screen stuck on LR logo, no controls of audio/nav or backup camera. Thinking of using the brass splices you can buy online. Here is the terrible pic of the wire. Can see red light when truck wakes up. So that can't...

    Had alternator die 3.5 hours into a 5 hour trip. Found one at local napa(Chineseium). Bought and installed in napa parking lot, plus new battery.

    2010 5.0 V8 wildly different MAF values?

    Working on the sorta new to me lr4. While monitoring engine temps, doing cooling work, I added MAF values. Noticed one bank read ~500g, and another ~1000g. Different brands of MAF's too. Not sure which is bank 1, or 2. One is Denso, one is Delphi. Should be causing vastly different fueling with...

    Skf front bearing for $32!

    Regularly check rock auto for closeouts...today they had one front SKF wheel bearing for 31.79! Since these land rovers seem to eat them frequently, seemed like a prudent purchase!

    Colder plugs...worse mileage?

    Got around to doing plugs on the new to me lr4. It looks like new spec is one colder. At 137k Likely the ngks in there were original as they were "6's", now they spec "7's". I have run a tank through it and it looks like mpg dropped. Anyone else seen this?

    Loosen and retorque suspension bolts when lifting?

    Looking threads of those with lifted trucks, I don't see any mention of loosening and retightening the suspension bolts to help preserve the bushings. (or haven't looked enough) Is it just such a no brainer that no one mentions it? Or do people slap on lift rods and then not make the connection...
