    Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?

    Most definitely. I’ve replaced it already and can tell a huge difference. It was probably going when I bought it but I didn’t know what it was supposed to be like.

    Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?

    Yep, I found your thread when searching for an upgrade path. I ended up doing the poor mans version since it’s only to be used in the event of a failure. I used some parachord and 1/4 fridge water tubing to make my own. The rope is looped under the L-shaped part of the cable so if it comes off...

    Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?

    I wonder what the possibility of upgrading to the 14-16 actuator and latch is. Now that I've gotten into this one, I can tell it has been replaced before. Seems like a 50,000 mile part. lol I have a video of the actuator. It isn't strong enough to pull itself in even with no load on it...

    Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?

    Yeah, the actuator is physically working, but doesn’t sound strong enough to pull the latch open. I don’t think anything has come loose because I can pull up on the cable and pop the latch. Most that have something come off has to push in line with a tool to pop the latch. I’ll try and clean...

    Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?

    I had my top hatch fail on my '13, and I'm not sure what to replace. I've fairly certain that it's the actuator, as I can pull the cable and get it open. The cable is still attached at both ends. I can hear the noise when the button is pressed, but the hatch won't open. I have gotten the...

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    Looking forward to installed photos. I’m considering getting a set of wheels with tax refund and am considering these, vipmodular, and good old stock LR3 wheels with spacers.

    Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper

    I wonder what is structurally different in the two bumpers. I was thinking of using those hoists and putting them on where the high-lift jack points are. If you want to get some photos, that may be helpful to the community, but not a necessity. I’ll get some photos of where I’m planning to put...

    Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper

    avslash, do you have the ARB bumper? The shop said that there wasn’t enough structure and space to use anything they had. That means if I want em, I’ll have to use those hoist ring types. I’m interested is photos of what you have.

    Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper

    The ARB has winch mout to bumper and bumper to frame. I looked at those, and didn’t think that a single bolt would be enough surface area to be pulling on the ARB skin. Plus, I don’t know enough to find a retaining clip to secure the ring to protect the bumper. And black oxide surface rusts...

    Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper

    Yeah, the more I think about it and measure the bumper, the more I’m leaning toward the third photo option as the rest are just too big to fit anywhere with some structure. I may just forget about them and carry some extra straps to wrap around the bumper in the event.

    Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper

    The winch mounts feet forward to a plate on the bumper. Seems like ARB just dropped them from a lot of their bumpers over time.

    Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper

    I bought mine with an ARB bumper already attached. I like it, but it’s missing key recovery points in its design. They rely on the factory tow eye which is mostly ok, but with the abundance of mud and ruts here in the southeast, that’s the first thing that gets buried. I’m looking to add some...

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    Have you got part numbers or a place to purchase by any chance? I’ve contacted PowerfulUK, but they only sell the RHD units. eBay has tons of different part numbers and it’s quite confusing.

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    ^^ please don’t, as I’ll be tempted to upgrade to 2014+ headlamps then upgrade their projectors! I kid of course. The more info we have here the better.

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    I have the adaptive xenon. They have DRLs also. I think they will be a direct swap for me. I have the GAP tool just in case.

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    I have only seen the guys at PowerfulUK do it. I'm in the US, but the process should still be the same I assume. I have an ARB bumber, so I shouldn't have to worry with the resulting gap at the bottom from the new housings. I did know about the grill, and I was going to replace this one anyway...

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    I’m interested in upgrading my ‘13 headlamps to the ‘14+ headlamps. If someone can give me some info on this upgrade, I’d sell my AFS lamps to someone here. I see a bunch on eBay but I’m confused on all the different part numbers. Some say: EH22-13W029-JD for RH EH22-13W029-JE for RH...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Me too, but I’m biased lol. I’d like to know where the I can get the side markers and what winches fit this bumper. Right now, mine has two holes and a cover plate.

    How many miles on your LR4?

    I’ve got a 2013 lux with 102,000 miles. I’m the second owner, so I’m not sure in the maintenance, but records show it was serviced every 7,500 miles or so. I’ve had no issues so far other than the fuel mileage indicator estimates high by about 2.5 mpg.

    Showoff Your LR4

    ^^ Respect. Vipmod's are dream wheels for most of us. Here's mine. I don't get to go exploring too often, so I usually take pictures when I do. This is this rover's first off-road experience.

    Folding mirrors while locking

    I get an incomplete load every time. Never had any issues though. I was worried that the motors would give too. Mine is a secondhand ‘13 and they are still working fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advice on peeling dash

    Just a final update - I got everything back together this weekend and cleaned all the leather with Chemical Guys cleaner and applied the leather serum to the dash. The only advice I have for the next guy/gal is to make sure you get the two bolts out of the bottom of the floor console out...

    Check engine light, 2016 LR4, 14k miles

    If it does turn out to be emissions related, remember that the EPA has a federal mandated warranty on emissions components. 2 yr/24k miles for anything that fails you in an emissions inspection (if your state has them). 8 yr/80k miles on major components (cats, computers, and obd systems)...

    Advice on peeling dash

    ^^ that’s good info. I’ve already gotten a used dash from roverlandparts.com. I got halfway done with the install last night.
