2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!
Hi, all, Feeling pretty incompetent. Floor mats on driver and passenger side front were recently soaked after parking level, outside, in steady rain. I pulled the roof rack off, and opening the sun roof doesn't show a LOT of material there...maybe a thin film of dust. But whatever, it's been a... -
PCRC Rendezvous in Chehalis, WA
The Pacific Coast Rover Club is having a get-together this coming Saturday. Just wondering if anyone else from the forum here might be attending? -
Happy Thanksgiving
Just wanting to wish a Happy Thanksgiving and express sincere gratitude for this group and how many here are willing to jump in with their wisdom and help people. We need to appreciate that wherever we find it these days. So thank you! -
Relocating the two hoses in the right rear wheel well
I'm not sure whether these are plumbed to the heater or the rear AC, but there are two hoses in the right rear wheel arch that really interfere with the ability to get up travel back there in some trail situations. Looking at them, it looks like I could potentially cut the hard line and relocate... -
XLifter and stock settings
I recently got an XLifter, and the documentation is a little thin. So I have a couple of questions. 1. If you install the XLifter system, you end up with basically two sets of controls trying to run in parallel, right? For example, if you have the stock buttons set to off-road mode, and the... -
Lowest possible low profile slider for rear?
Having gotten rid of my van, my LR4 now serves as cargo vehicle for my band's PA. Which includes a subwoofer that is 3'x3'x2' and weighs about 160 pounds. The total cubic footage of the gear basically fills the entire rear of the LR4, and that subwoofer in particular is really tough to get in... -
GAP tool and suspension height
I may not be using the tool right, or not understand the limitations, or something. But... Literally the only things that seems to actually adjust height on my 2016 LR4 are these: - the "height control" screen, which just duplicates the panel control, and - the step-by-step "calibration"... -
Leftover bumper parts
I have a bunch of front and rear bumper parts from my 2016 LR4 in Kaikoura Stone color near Portland, OR. I hate just throwing these into a recycling bin. It's a long shot, but does anyone here want these? -
Offroad modes and terrain
I feel like I'm still figuring this beast out when it comes to offroading. On Hell's Revenge and other trails in Moab, it felt like I never quite had the kind of control I wanted. For example, in rock crawling mode on the ironically-named slickrock, it did pretty well. But sometimes it felt like... -
P0170 fuel trim and CEL
My 2016 LR4 SCV6, on a trip to Seattle, threw the check engine light. GAP tool reveals that it is the P0170 code, the bank 1 fuel trim. I cleared it and it immediately seems to come back on the GAP tool, although the CEL doesn’t come back on. i vaguely remember that it might have to do with the... -
Best way to attach winch to stock battery?
The only other vehicles I’ve had with a winch either had a PTO or had a battery with both top post and side terminals, making it pretty easy. Looking at this battery, it doesn’t look clear what might be the best way to get a high-current connection to the positive and negative posts. I’m... -
WTB: upper radiator hose for SCV6
Hi, all, I'm looking to buy not the full assembly, but rather just the 90 degree elbow that connects that top radiator fitting to the rest of the assembly. If anyone has one in decent shape, please let me know! Thank you. -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
I figured there might be someone who has done this already, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Several years ago, I got a used FlatPlate heat exchanger that I'd planned to use as part of a methanol recovery processor when I was making a lot of biodiesel. Then I stopped making biodiesel. Fast... -
Another new head unit thread
I took a chance and bought one of the Android-based units from Aliexpress, this one made by HengCheng. It did not come with any installation instructions, but I was sent the attached documents on request. ...and as a result, I am very confused. The language barrier seems also to be confusing to... -
SCV6 responsiveness off idle
I'm wondering what is normal for these engines. I know it takes a little time to get pressure from the supercharger, but I've never driven a SC'd vehicle before. I have driven turbo diesels before, though, with variable vane turbochargers. The LR4 seems to take a loooong time to decide to... -
Best place to buy wheel arch fasteners
I've had my wheel arches on and off enough that I've broken a few of both the black fasteners near the front as well as the yellow & white snap buttons. Has anyone found a good source for ones that work well but don't cost $1-$2 each plus shipping? I see some on EBay, but I don't know about the... -
Issues with Terrafirma hidden winch and SCV6
This may not be limited to just the Terrafirma system, so I wanted to give people a head's-up on issues I encountered only after pulling everything apart, paying for the winch and mount from Lucky 8, and so forth. When I open things up, it's clear that the mount is expecting an unfilled gap... -
Control arm questions
I believe what I've read here indicates that it is largely the lower front control arms that tend to go south, at least at lower mileages like mine (50k). And it even tends to be the rear bushing that goes bad first. So I plan to replace those, likely with poly bushing assemblies if I can find... -
Moab trails with rooftop tent?
I used to be a river guide down by Moab, and ran trails around there when I had a built-up Isuzu Amigo.* Anyway, I'm heading down there in June with my gal to show her around in my 2016 HSE with 33" tires and run some of the less adventurous trails, camp out in the desert. I don't mean to run... -
Relocating backup camera
Has anyone successfully reloaded the camera from the rear door up to the top or something? Most of my view is now the backside of a spare tire. Looks like there are 6 wires to the camera, but I don’t have a wiring diagram. Two wires seem to go to a coax cable (makes sense), and two others... -
ASFIR skid plate experiences?
So I bought these skid plates, and they do seem very well-made. But they don't come with instructions, for one thing. The first plate I tried installing is the one covering the suspension air tank. There are a pair of recessed holes in either end, but they don't seem to line up with anything on... -
Eco mode and starters
Probably a dumb question, but then that is my specialty: I've always assumed that the engine start/stop cycle used in vehicles like ours when using "eco mode" is probably pretty darn ******* the starter. I mean, there's no other magic way to spin up the engine, is there? And starters have a... -
Front hitch options?
I'm tempted to get a hidden winch for the front of my LR4, but honestly when I've needed winches, a fair fraction of the time it would have been better to have one on the back. So I kind of like the idea of having a hitch-mounted winch that I can swap back and forth. Firstly, though, I can't... -
Someone to contact about swear filters?
This was laughable for awhile, but it really is ridiculous to not be able to read content that has been ****ed up by the swear filter. Did Queen Victoria come back from the dead and sign up? Is there an admin, organization, or someone we should be reaching out to to ask for a more reasonable... -
GAP tool and alternator measurements
Hi, all. I recently replaced both cigarette lighters in the center console with these little gems. I attached one to the secondary battery, which is now a LiFePo, and the other I'm just using with the stock cigarette lighter wiring. I'm seeing some strange behavior of those voltmeters as I...
