    Tow hitch question

    I’ve had a LR3 and now have a LR4 that have both seen a lot of towing. The LR hitch receiver on both have a lot of slop in the up and down direction with every tow bar I’ve used. One of my trailers rattled constantly due to this. I made a small wedge out of starboard(marine plastic material) and...

    Showoff Your LR4

    @roverhockey, that shot should be in a Rover commercial or an iPhone commercial or both. Nice one!

    Full Size Spare

    B Bingo! I had a shop do this and attempt to blame the failure on "a worn out item." I encouraged them to ask the tech to show us how he performed the task. In short, he walked over with the air impact gun. Case closed! They covered it. The new style is a bit of a pain but eliminates the...

    LR4 Brake Pads: Aftermarket Alternative?

    I got 45K out of the factory rear brakes and 60K out of the fronts. Replaced both before wear sensors tripped. Also, when doing brakes on LR4 or any other modern Rover, you are likely to find the rotors are trash. Dealers also change pads and rotors when they do the job. The rotors are usually...

    LR4 Mileage Poll

    Given the lack of a suitable replacement in my opinion, I’m hoping to drive my 2014 LR4 that has 78K miles a long time.

    weird window and side mirror issues

    Ok, forums are too cool! The trick worked and all windows are operating properly again. I owe ya one @BrandonM7. The one thing I’ll add is that when holding in the up position for 30 seconds, do not hold all the way up to the express up position, just the standard up position. Worked well when...

    Cool! I’ll give the window trick a try and report back.

    weird window and side mirror issues

    Have you replaced your battery yet since new? I replaced the battery in my 2014 last summer. One day I was having weird issues and the next day it was completely dead. I’d suggest load testing the battery if it’s newer and replace if original. That said, my LR4 has had some minor window issues...

    largest tire with no lift

    @mrezo Thanks for the info. I wish the 285s didn’t come with the few adjustments that are needed as I think they are the best looking option.

    largest tire with no lift

    @jpjp It is called Aintree Green. In the sun, you can see that it has a bunch of metallic in it. Looks good clean but it doesn’t stay that way very long.

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Has anyone performed this procedure on the 2014-on ZF8HP70 8-speed trans? I’m at 75K miles and am planning to give it a go once parts are back in stock. Every place I’ve tried is out of stock. Somebody must be busy at it.

    @jaguardoc504 Your ride looks great on the 285 Zeons! Thanks for sharing the spare pressure info and how long they rubbed when new.

    largest tire with no lift

    @Rover 4 Here are a few pics of 265s. The photos suck a little but you’ll see that the 265/50/20 G2s are pretty well tucked in like the factory size. The chunkiness of the tire makes them appear wider, but they are only marginally different than stock. The biggest difference I see is a little...

    largest tire with no lift

    @mrezo The ride looks great! Thanks for detailing the mods made on the spare. I’m curious on a few points. What pressure are you able to run on the spare? Does it require carrying a can of tire repair to inflate it if needed? Any concerns with removing the plastics shrouds? And, are you just...

    Sure. I’m on a business trip in Canada but will post some by Friday.

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    It seems that injector problems are pretty rare in these engines. If you weren’t having issues, I wouldn’t recommend messing with them.

    largest tire with no lift

    Thank you. I like it too. When I ordered it, the dealer’s manager thought it was a crazy request and didn’t want to do it. When I picked it up, the salesman said he could have sold my ride five times in the two days it sat in the showroom waiting on me to get back from a business trip.

    largest tire with no lift

    I really wanted 285s as they look awesome and create some good wheel saving bulge on the sidewalls. I just couldn’t get passed the rubbing issue and spare tire fit issue. I’ve heard that someone ran some 5mm spacers(not sure it’s a good idea) to eliminate the rub but there’s still not an easy...

    Here are some pics of 265/50/20 G2s at standard ride height.

    largest tire with no lift

    There is a recent feed with a lot of feedback on this topic. If sold on the G2s, no lift, and no rubbing, you are limited to the 265/50/20. This size is also the largest that will fit in the spare tire pocket when fully inflated. I have them on my LR4 and like them.

    Need new shocks - where to buy?

    Atlantic British sells the complete assembly and also sells the air spring and rear strut separately if needed. I've ordered parts from them before and find them to be pretty helpful in cases like yours. Please report back on what you find is the problem.

    What psi are you running your 285/50r20's. Ride Stiffness?

    Yes, good comments on the XL load range and also on the load carrying capacity at higher pressures. I always run the advertised pressures on-road because you never know when you'll end up with a load of seven fatties inside and/or a trailer attached where I live. I just rotate regularly to...

    What psi are you running your 285/50r20's. Ride Stiffness?

    Regardless of size, I try to run the tire pressures at the factory specs unless off-roading where I drop the pressure a good bit. My LR4 seems to drive well on road at the factory specs listed on the door jam placard. I believe it is 42 in the rear and 36 in the front.

    Buying help needed!!!

    Nice! Did you mention the 2013 also had the 20" black package as well? Apologies if I missed that. That is a very nice ride and a good deal in my opinion. Enjoy!
