Removing rear seats?
I used pelican and other cases for a long time, with the cargo barrier. But eventually I took the 3rd row seats out and put in front runner drawers. I don't regret it at all because I can keep gear more organized and more easily access it. I have a stove that is plumbed to propane in one... -
Rear door frame rust - driver/passenger sides
That is the one spot that tends to rust first on these. Good to pull those panels, side steps, sliders, whatever and clean them and treat for rust. Stay ahead of it. :D -
Interesting read on Diff fill capacities.
Well the factory service manual says not to fill to the hole, it has specific amounts. I follow the manual. It isn't a lot different though, so I wouldn't argue it makes a ton of difference. I'd just rather follow what it says. -
Fuel tank capacity- Sucks
My reply above addresses codes, i don't get them. The new pipe goes from the dual filler assembly to the factory metal fill pipe. Each end of the new adapter pipe is a different size to account for the different ends. Makes it as simple as having those two short rubber hose sections to... -
Fuel tank capacity- Sucks
The rear locker is nice, definitely reduces wheel spin compared to just using the braked traction control. But for people shopping for an LR3/LR4 I wouldn't say it is a deal breaker. A non-locker version can go pretty well anywhere a locked one can, just might be slightly more work in really... -
Front Bull bar Lr4 2014
Beauty might be subjective, but function and actual engineering aren't. You buy an ARB (or other aussie grade certified bars) if you want something that is functional, engineered rather than just welded up in some garage to look nice. ARBs are crash tested, and have impact crush cans to keep... -
Fuel tank capacity- Sucks
just saw this thread pop up. FYI.. the Long Range America 28 gallon aux fuel tank is now available in the U.S. with some new tweaks to the fuel filler hose/pipe that allows it to fit without fabrication work. Makes the install a bit easier. Me and a buddy installed it over a couple days (and... -
Range rover sport control arms on LR4
Meyle HD arms are my choice. Still rubber bushes, but just not the weaker hydro bushes. They feel just like OE hydro bushes but are not going to fail. It bears repeating that you should avoid all poly bush options, they tend to cause cracked arms. -
LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?
I seriously doubt the GX550 will ride better than the LR4, but I am still very interested in it. It won't replace my LR4, but I do kinda want to add one to the stable as just a daily. -
LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?
It makes a lot more sense to own a Land Rover if you are willing to do the work yourself on it. The alternator should be a few hundred bucks and its like a 20 minute or less job on a garage floor to change it out. -
Adding Upgrades to My 2012 LR4 -
this ^^ is why many of us recommend the Meyle HD lower control arms. They have rubber bushings that are soft and similar to the OE hydro bushes, but they are tougher than the hydro bushes and won't leak their fluid after a couple days on the trail. (riding trail with the bushing knock sucks... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Voyagers will be fine. They don't go anywhere near the gas tank. -
Order of off-road mods
I had full tactical 4x4 armor which was great for tough stuff and dragging her belly over rocks, but it weighs so much. I ended up getting Voyager sliders that have a bolt on air compressor and tank skid and removing the rest. I have more clearance now without the t44 stuff. The voyager... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Got mine done last week. Tech buddy of mine took care of it in an hour. -
Water pump nipple
From what I can find an OAT like ethylene glycol will have minor effect or slight change in appearance or properties. It says to test before repeated exposure. But... IANAC (i am not a chemist) -
Rear wheel carrier latch question
I have an older bumper, so the latches they were using were smaller. The new ones are friggen massive and I don't know why he felt the need to upgrade them. My latch arm is also different because I have the dual swing version so it has that extra plate that catches the second arm also. I... -
Rear wheel carrier latch question
I got one of the newer T44 latches (had to upgrade from the original one since I bought it years ago). They use this version now. I find it pretty easy to use. I put a zip tie on it to keep it aligned perfectly with the hook (otherwise it has a little side to side movement). The way it... -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
brake switch is another one I recently added. and a rear toe link bolt. -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
From what I am seeing no modification of the dual filler neck is needed other than making sure the size of the filler tube matches the size of the OE filler tube. Everything else on the dual filler is good to go. As long as I adapt that size correctly (if needed, i haven't measured yet) then... -
I’d like to replace fog lights…
I upgraded my fogs, but it required a few other changes at the same time. (ARB Summit bar) -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
Not sure it has a model designation (one point of feedback I gave them was that they should have model numbers and even revisions with change notes somewhere. They constantly improve stuff just like tactical 4x4 does. I wish T44 did also because ordering parts like the rear latch is not easy... -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
I had the tactical sliders and sold them. I went back to the Voyager slider and I worked with them on a new version. The version we made has a bolt on plate on just the driver side that protects the air tank and compressor. You can remove it and access the full air system without dropping the... -
Higher output alternator?
I also wish we had a water cooled option. The stupid alternator is so low that it can get filled with junk pretty quick. I'd also take a higher output one to run my 50 amp redarc DCDC and keep my winch happy during big pulls. -

Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
I didn't pay quite that much, but after a few parts it will be close to that. 38 gallons additional solves one of the big issues with this platform... range. 58 gallons total gives me a lot more options for schedule and route on a trip. I also don't want to use my dual jerry can holder for...
