Replacing my Cooper Zeon LTZs
I have 285/50/r20s on my LR4 and have had them on there for years. I found them to be pretty much the perfect size. Nice and chunky, plenty of road contact, and they've lasted years with 0 issues. The front wheels rub a teeny amount when in a hard turn, but it's never been much of an issue... -

New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon
Howdy. I've had Cooper Zeon LTX 285/50/20's on my 2012 LR4 for years and love them. They unfortunately stopped making them, so I'm going to likely replace them in the next few months. I've been eyeballing the Nitto G3, but they don't come in 285/50. They have 285/55 and 275/55. 285/50 fits... -

Anyone have a IIDTool BT G3 that they want to sell?
I know on the site you're able to transfer ownership so wondering if anyone has the tool and maybe wants to part with it for less than retail? My LR4 is getting up there in age, and trying to justify the tool cost. Thanks! -

Keeping radio on long term
Is there a way to keep the radio on the LR4 without the engine being on for say a couple hours? It's a pretty unique use case, but I've been doing to a drive-in with my car and it tends to time out after 30 min or so, which is a bit annoying. I can't imagine there's that much drain with just the... -

LED Headlight sourcing for 2012 LR4
I was going to go with Phillips as they're a known brand and seem well made, but they're also mucho $$$. I replaced the main headlight with ones from precisionLED which are working fine, but they're a bit bulky. Suggestions? -

Best way to clean out sunroof drains
I've heard that some shops will blow them out from the bottom, I've also seen people blow them out from the top or thread some weedwacker cord down the drain tube. I've also heard these tubes can collapse? Mine seem to have gone from sort of bad, to overflowing on pretty much any rain. Headliner... -

Mudflaps to catch rocks
Nice hack :) Did you have to drill new holes to mount these? I'm running the exact same tires. Cooper LTZ -

Mudflaps to catch rocks
I've been towing an Airstream for about 6 months and it's been a ton of fun...other than the fact it gets dinged every 1500 miles or so by some tiny rock. I have Cooper LTZs on the LR4 which are awesome but love picking up the stray pebble or 4. Anyone have a good recommendation on a way to tame... -

Drain hose exit
Does anyone have a photo of where the sunroof drain hoses exit on an LR4? I found some for LR3, but not sure they’re the same. I want to blow them out from the bottom to clear them. I’ve been told there are 4 of them, 2 front 2 rear. -

Repair and Preventative Question
Ya I’ve read about the PB Blaster stuff…seems promising. I’ve used other PB blaster products for years on my older bikes. When you’re putting on the coating if there’s already rust do you just go over it? -

Repair and Preventative Question
Someone decided to hit my taillight with who knows what in NYC the other day so I have a crack in my left rear light. Wondering if it’s something I should replace or just leave as is. Seems mainly cosmetic, but wondering if water intrusion will mess with the electrical system at all. Also are... -

Best rack for LR4 without factory rails
Looks interesting for sure, but seems they're out of stock. Did you ever try the wind deflector on the FRO? -

Best rack for LR4 without factory rails
In speaking with FRO, it seems like the rack has it's own proprietary setup though? Would you be able to mount other companies kayak racks, etc in the way you've described? What do you mount personally on it?
