    LR4 New Light Bar Installed

    sorry to try to revive this old thread, but I'm looking to add a light bar for your same reason. I live in Montana and high beams just don't cut it! lol. Where did you mount the bar? I see you wired it to the high beams, do you have a separate switch to turn it off when you don't want to use...

    brake pad sensor light

    Ok. Thank you. I'll just buy new sensors then. I watched a video where a guy stuck a paper clip in the wire from the car to kind of short it out. I'm afraid to do that! lol. I'd be worried that I'd damage the wire, in the car, permanently!

    Snow chains recommendations

    How easy do these chains go on? I'm running the Nokian Haka's for snow tires, but I'll likely need chains to get up and down my driveway, when the occasion calls. I'm in the upper northwest corner of Montana with a steep and shade covered driveway.

    brake pad sensor light

    I recently replaced the brakes, front and rear, along with the pad sensors. Now I'm getting the brake pad worn light. Is there an easy reset or do I need to buy new sensors again? I bought a kit from FPC. (2013 lr4). Also, can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the northwest Montana area...

    Looking for a 19" off road tire.

    Thanks! I think I'm sold on these tires for next season and at the 255/60 size. My mechanic suggested this tire, too. Said they've had a good experience with them on other vehicles. I just know these LR's can be picky with tires. lol

    Looking for a 19" off road tire.

    Those of y'all running the Toyo AT3's, how are they now after having them for a bit? My Zeon's need replaced and I'm considering the AT3. We are currently in the Colorado mountains, so sharp rocky roads, slimy sticky mud, for off roading and snow (even though I use Nokian r3's for winter)...

    Wheel speed sensors

    Just got both sensors replaced and took a couple of long test drives, everything seems back to normal! When I got the front fender flare off, I'm not surprised the sensors went out. There was a good amount of dried mud everywhere and that was after a few good washings! Most of my driving is on...

    Defender 130 an LR4 replacement?

    I think I'll stick with my '13 LR4 for as long as I can afford it. lol To me, the new Defenders look like an overgrown Jeep Renegade. I'm sure they are really nice and handle well and maybe the touchscreen is much more user friendly, but I do chuckle a bit every time I see one driving around...

    Pump replaced but air bags wont fill.

    That is a great post and great pictures! I will be checking that if my lights come back on. I changed front and rear drivers side speed sensors and have taken a couple of nice long drives. Everything seems to be normal now. Someone else had mentioned it was unlikely both went out, but after...

    V8 owners try this and let me know: sand mode

    Nokian Hakka's R3. They are absolutely amazing. I've been in some pretty hairy snow storms up here in the Colorado mountains and extremely happy I had those tires on. Sadly, I haven't gotten to use snow mode hardly at all this winter. We just haven't had much snow up here in Steamboat...

    Wheel speed sensors

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll do that next time and keep it on the same thread. I cleaned out where I could reach with a rag and some water. I also took it to a manual car wash to clean off the frozen mud that caked up behind the wheels. There was a LOT of mud up there. If these things...

    Wheel speed sensors

    Both sensors are coming up on the computer, so I'm just going to replace both. The tech did say that it was weird too, but since I'll already be down there, may as well do both. But I figured, because of all the mud, snow, and ice I have to drive through, maybe they both really did go out?

    Wheel speed sensors

    I'm back with these dang sensors. I replaced the battery a couple weeks back, thought that took care of the problem. Then all my abs stuff went out again. I was able to get it hooked up to a real computer and it's saying front and rear driver's side speed sensors are out. I can easily find...

    Pump replaced but air bags wont fill.

    I have front and rear driver's side wheel speed sensors that need to be replaced. The entire abs system is out, traction control, emergency brake, hdc, and it won't raise up from access height (says it's for stability). I thought it was the battery, so I replaced that. Still getting all the...

    My dash lit up like a christmas tree after driving in snow.

    I've been thinking it's the power steering pump, too. I guess I'll add that to the list of stuff! :dong:

    My dash lit up like a christmas tree after driving in snow.

    Thanks! I had no idea this car could be so sensitive! Lol. I just hit that 80k mile mark and it seems there's something every week! Now I'm getting this weird whirring noise (not very loud) when I push the gas. It sounds like it's coming from near the steering area. Also, since I changed the...

    My dash lit up like a christmas tree after driving in snow.

    Thanks all! I ended up replacing the battery and cleaning out all the speed sensors. It was a mess down there! lol. This seems to have fixed all the warning lights. Hopefully it stays that way!

    My dash lit up like a christmas tree after driving in snow.

    Advanced Auto had a code reader. It pulled code C0037 (ABS sensor fault). Is this an easy fix at home? The parts guy said I just need to find out if it's an aluminum or rubber valve and they have the part. I believe the battery is probably 5 years old (I'll check when I walk over to the...

    My dash lit up like a christmas tree after driving in snow.

    Hey all. So, I have about a mile of dirt road to drive on to get to the house. Last night we got several inches of snow that hadn't been plowed. When I drive through deepish snow, my dash lights up with all the warnings, HDC out, special programs out, parking brake out, stability control out...

    2013 LR4 5.0L Cold start knocking noise

    Ok, y'all. I'm going to try this at home. On Atlantic British, there are 2 brands for the fan clutch, OEM and Behr. The OEM is $600 and Behr is $450. Should I get the OEM? Also, the nice guys at JC's British and 4x4 mentioned I should also check the coolant outlet tube. I assume that is the...

    2013 LR4 5.0L Cold start knocking noise

    I'm having this exact same issue! Thanks for sharing your fix. Did you replace the water pump? I had mine replaced about a year and a half ago and would rather not go through that expense if I don't need to. How hard/easy was it to replace the fan clutch? I'm reasonably handy, but this...

    Definitive roof rack thread?

    Went with the Frontrunner rack! I just wanted to say thanks to all for posting your advice on the rack and install! It really made life a bit easier for me getting this beast up there! (Not pictured is me folded in half, sitting on top, installing that dang wind deflector, while an upset momma...

    Definitive roof rack thread?

    I just ordered the Condor XL with the annex, earlier today. He said it'll work with the regular cross bars. I'm getting a full rack though. We'll need the extra space for gear come hunting season.

    Definitive roof rack thread?

    Great thread! What do some of y'all have in the way of roof top tents? I'm looking to get a Roofnest (specifically the Condor XL). I also need a roof rack, and looking at FrontRunner. I don't have roof rails, so thinking their kit would be a good option? Is there a better set up recommended?
