    Long Roof Rails

    You're correct they're not stamped Land Rover, but I'd venture to guess they're a one for one. OEM or not, my question remains...do you leave the aluminum filler pieces in place and mount the rails on top of them, or remove the filler pieces which allow for the rails to fit nicely in the...

    Long Roof Rails

    Chinese Chuck (eBay), no name long roof rails, without instructions. What do you do with the aesthetic filler strip of piece filling the channel? My mechanic mounted the rails over the filler pieces, but resulting in a poor fit of the rails themselves, especially the rear, flat portion, as...

    Driver's Ergonomics

    Well, I believe its time to throw in the towel on this issue. Every option short of removing the bulkhead behind the seats has come up with no resolution. Options tried and in combination no less: - Defender seat risers. I don't know who would benefit from these other than very short height...

    Driver's Ergonomics

    Both distance between my torso and the steering wheel along with being extremely close to the clutch and brake pedals. My face is literally ~12" from the steering wheel! After speaking with Nathan at USA Rovers, I think the problem will only be solved by removing the bulkhead behind the front...

    Driver's Ergonomics

    What about replacing the OEM steering wheel with a smaller diameter wheel? If so, any recommended models and sources for purchase?

    Driver's Ergonomics

    So, I just bought a 1981 Series III. Its been a dream vehicle of mine all my life. And while I test drove it around the block upon inspection, my issue is I barely physically fit in the driver's seat. While I didn't closely inspect the seat adjustment, the seller said the said was in the...

    ARB install on a 2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged

    Looks awesome!! I too recently had an ARB front bumper installed on my 2012 LR4, however the shop could not install either the OEM foglights nor the ARB fogs. For now, I've got the blanks (which look pretty neat actually) filling the void. What are the specs on your foglights?

    Fog Light Woes

    I just had an ARB front bumper installed on my 2012 LR4. The problem is with the fog light mounting wells. The OEM fog lights are too large in depth to the mounting wells, nor will attach to the supplied bracketry, while the ARB LED fog lights purchased separately are too small in diameter and...

    Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?

    While not the rear bumper in question, I recently had both rock sliders and an ARB front bumper installed on my 2012 LR4 with 104K miles on it. I just bought the truck from the original owner a few months ago and couldn't be happier with it. I see no reason whatsoever why you shouldn't upgrade...

    Wheels and Tires?

    So back to the topic at hand, it appears the most popular tire size for LR4s is 265/65/18. Please confirm or dispell.

    Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold

    Might be a good time to install one of the aftermarket bigger screen head units.

    Wheels and Tires?

    Murdered-out! Looking good! Round it out with some black door handle covers; I have a set, but haven’t installed them yet. I also recently replaced my side marker lights with a pair of smoked lensed ones with LEDs, which would also look good on yours.

    Wheels and Tires?

    So, I did a quick forum search on lift rods and it seems the jury is still somewhat divided on that subject. I can see the validity of the bump stop spacers being added, and if I keep the lift rods, I will add those to prevent being stranded or worse at highway speeds. As for the wheels...

    What's wrong with the lift rods?

    Wheels and Tires?

    Got a 2012 LR4 that had 19" OEM wheels and I replaced with 20 x 8.5" aftermarket wheels with 265/50/R20 Toyo Open Country A/T 3 tires. The offset is pretty close to fitting in the wheel well with very little overhang, however, there is some. At road height the front tires do lightly hit the...
