ARB Fridge
My ARB has been in that spot for years. It is literally perfect for that use. Functions nicely as a table/arm rest for rear seat occupants as well. I designed my sleeping platform with a hinged lid that still allows access to it when the platform is in place. Several years on and I would not... -
Prospeed product interest?
I would be in for a set of front and rear control arm guards and a RAI light bar. -
Radiator replacement
I have been running the aluminum connector for approximately 30K with no issues. -
Bullet Proof Control Arm Bushings
I have given them a look several times, and thus far, no issues. As recently as last week, actually. No squeaks, no cracks. Maybe I got lucky for once. -
My LR4 experiences in terms of mechanical issues that keep piling up
High performance vehicles require more maintenance than a Japanese sedan. It's a 6,000 pound plus vehicle that will compete with stock Wranglers to get you down a trail, and also cruise comfortably and quietly at 100mph to get to the trail. Other than the timing chain and cooling system issues... -
Bullet Proof Control Arm Bushings
30K on my urethane bushings at this point and no issues to report. This is on a heavy, modded truck running 33.2 tires that sees dirt and rocks. Still happy with them so far. -
I think it's time to move on...
You're correct on the Grenadier, and that might be the most compelling alternative. Is the GX550 the rebadged ROW Landcruiser? I'm honestly not sure. A GMC? You're on your own :) That thing is HUGE. Beauty of the LR3/4 is that it is, quite literally, only 1 inch wider than a Wrangler... -
I think it's time to move on...
The only viable replacements are a Gwagon, Landcruiser, 4Runner, Bronco or Wrangler. That's it as far as I know for a body on frame SUV with a fully locking transfer case. 2 of those are just as expensive (if not more) than a LR. 2 have much less interior volume than a LR4 and one is a Jeep... -
Open to Suggestions
Only things that compare capability wise are the Gwagon, Landcruiser, 4Runner, Wrangler and Grenadier. 2 of those aren't cheap either, 2 aren't as nice of a vehicle and 1 is still an unproven commodity. Only one offers more offroad prowess than what you have. None of them can be had for the... -
Fuel tank capacity- Sucks
The LRA tank also has a threaded drain plug if you need to empty some gasoline for other uses. A small siphon pump is probably better to avoid any spillage, but the plug is there. -
Fuel tank capacity- Sucks
Yep. Single best modification I have made to mine. I can attest that the tank will take a lickin' and roll on. Mine has a couple of deep dents and several gouges from crawling over rocks. I would be interested to see how they modded the fill system. Mine took a bit of fab and welding to get... -
What jack do you recommend to store in your trunk?
Bottle jack for changing a single tire. Hi-Lift so I can get two wheels offs the ground if needed, but I have the T4x4 sliders that have a nice convenient rail to use a jacking point that spans the entire length between the wheel wells. -
2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay
Rear locker? I would probably go $5k for one with a locker. Less for one without. It is also going to need some other work. Might not know what it is, but unless it was an enthusiast vehicle, it's going to need something. -
Fuel tank capacity- Sucks
Tank size doesn't suck when you add another 29 gallon tank...:) -
GAP IID Tool help urgent
Ditto on question above. Do you have lift rods installed? If so, this will throw it out of calibration on bump stops and it will not raise. Either put normal rods back in, or break out the jacks.
