    Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...

    I have towed all three sizes of UHaul enclosed trailers with the stock factory LR4 hitch system+receiver+2 inch ball. I never had to reverse/flip any tow hitches or do anything else - the height is perfect as is. I towed the 4x8, 5x8 and 6x12 trailers. The 6x12 has the integrated braking system...

    Stock LR4 and 275 55 20s - the results!!

    I am about to get new tires and am looking at Wildpeak AT3W in the 275 55 20 to replace the G015s. I sure hope they don't rub!

    It's time for a rear cross-over pipe talk. What to do about the backorder?

    v8 and v6 pipes are different, unfortunately. One of them has an extra mount, forgot which one.

    Transmission Fluid Flush using Oil Cooler Lines - Anyone done it?

    To be clear, I'd still do the pan swap/drain. This just ensures that all the old fluid gets out of the system. Good to know about the driveshaft!

    Transmission Fluid Flush using Oil Cooler Lines - Anyone done it?

    Greetings. Recently, I've read about a process that some people are following when changing their ATF in these ZF 6HP transmissions. It consists of disconnecting the transmission lines at the oil cooler, having the outlet dump into a 5gal bucket and the input be connected to fresh fluid. The...

    Intermittent heavy steering

    I might be having this issue currently. Any idea on the part number for the u-joint?

    LR4 market question

    A very similar uncertainty about timing chains exists with the SC v6. Those engines are not immune. That model also has more uncertainty with start/stop, less power and the stupid rotary gear shift.

    Steal of a Deal LR4 - Part Deux

    Given all the engine issues, I'd replace the engine and transfer all the good cooling bits to the new one.

    Defender vs. Mazda mx5.

    Yeah that's a CX5. Crazy.

    Does your date move to european format in its own?

    it takes 4 seconds to change back, i have the menu sequence memorized!

    Does your date move to european format in its own?

    Mine does this all the time(about 1x a month). The date goes to european(dd/mm/yyyy) and the time reverts back to 24hr. The battery is a year old, as is the alternator so it's not that. Thinking it might be a bad ground somewhere.

    Fuel Tank Shield/Skid Plate

    Thanks! Is it me or is this OE part WFN000014 super hard to find? Has it been replaced by a newer part number?

    Fuel Tank Shield/Skid Plate

    I was under the LR4 the other day and poking around and I noticed the fuel tank shield/skid plate looking rather rough. After poking it with my finger, it began to literally fall apart into pieces. Looks like I need a new one. Does anyone have a part number? The factory part looks to be made of...

    4WD System Question

    So the center is a torsen then? HD means rear locker(open otherwise) but I'm curious about the center. I know the front is open.

    4WD System Question

    Hey gang, Random question - on a 2013 HSE 5.0 with a 2sp transfer case, what type is the center diff? I know on the 2014+ models, if you don't get the HD package(and therefore don't have the 2sp xfer case), you get a Torsen center. But what about the 2010-2013 models? I have been seeing ads...

    New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0

    I have to ask this too - how is it any worse?

    Paddle shifters not working unless in manual mode?

    Got it, haven't had time to mess with it yet. Still need that stupid airbag removal tool too. Gonna try in the next week or so.

    What is the Largest Tire that fits stock 20" wheels with little to no rubbing?

    If anyone knows the answer to this: I have been running these 20in RR supercharged wheels which have a 58mm offset. They fit fine with 275 55 20 tires but since the offset is so high, they are quite tucked into the wheelwell. It doesn't quite look right and I am thinking about adding spacers to...

    Is this a factory display unit?

    Whoa, never seen a low-spec one like this in North America. Very cool. Hard to tell from the photos but looks like this also doesn't have the glass roof with the two back moonroofs? Edit - also no parking sensors, steering wheel missing the right lower buttons...wild!

    LR4 diffs oil capacity.

    Just FYI but the linked doc above is specs for the LR3 which has a different v8. The engine oil specs are all wrong.

    Paddle shifters not working unless in manual mode?

    Thanks, makes sense. This airbag removal procedure does look tricky. As far as plugs, does the signal from the paddles travel through existing plugs? or is there a new one that I need to connect?

    Paddle shifters not working unless in manual mode?

    I just ordered a wheel from an RRS with flappy paddles and am excited to install it and be able to paddle shift in the LR4. I hope I don't have to do anything else with the GAP tool except enable the paddles in the ccf file. Anything else to keep in mind when configuring it? This is a 2013 V8.

    Control Arms

    I also would love to see a video of this 5 minute job!

    Control Arms

    the arm itself rusts in many spots, compromising the structure. In particular, the ball joint end. It's easier just to replace the entire thing.
