Backup Camera Retrofit
I bypassed my stock camera when I put a spare tire mount back there that blocked too much of it. Used one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XB5Y6D4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -
Best way to attach winch to stock battery?
Generally regarded as poor form. The currents here are high enough that the conductivity of steel and the joints between parts of the chassis may cause problems. -
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... -
K&N air filter?
I thought there was a fair amount of evidence that indicated oil & cloth air filters were not as effective at keeping dust out of the engine as good paper filters? -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
OK, I think I'm answering my own question here: this seems to be the main hose going to the secondary radiator that is dedicated to the supercharger cooler. I still don't have a feel for whether this would be a good place to put this heat exchanger in series, since the loop is run by the... -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
Getting back to this again. I'm wondering what this hose is that the arrow points to here. The manual seems to say it goes off to the supercharger air cooler, and the two hoses that the diagram shows as running off to the right DO that, but the end (where the 16 is) is around a 5/8" hose that... -
LR4 Misc Timing/cooling Parts
Hi, I’m interested in the roughly 1.5” radiator hoses if you have them. -
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. -
FYI: SCV6 cylinder numbering
FWIW, I would lean on the wisdom of this forum and people like jlgr4, ryanjl and a few others before Topix. More specialized, germane wisdom here. -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
I agree. I don't know much about the system, but I know there's a 1.5" inlet on the radiator. No idea how the flow capacity of that compares to what the maximum flow that a full-open thermostat allows, though. And I don't know to what extent putting an additional restriction (although I don't... -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Could you rebuild the stock winch, maybe with synthetic winch rope? -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
I don't think that's published anywhere. But I'd expect a tire and wheel to weigh about 2/3 of what these weigh. Winch doesn't feel like it is straining at all. -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
I have a couple of these https://www.trailedonline.com/ jerry cans, and just rigged up a thick aluminum plate to support these using the stock spare tire winch. They're really just there for emergencies, and I'd rather have a more dedicated fuel cell with a pump there, but I got a good deal on... -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
That’s what I’d expect, too. It’s the way other heating systems I’ve seen have worked. -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
Does anyone know if that heater circuit is always running, or is it only on when heating is actually selected? -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
Good idea for most, especially if you don't have a very efficient heat exchanger. In my case, I have fuel storage under there, with a skid plate over it. And this heat exchanger seems to be VERY efficient. -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
LOL...believe me, I wasn't trying to impress. Just get in the ballpark of what kind of heating I might expect. This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for when I posted...that there would be some people out there with engineering knowledge who could chime in. It sounds like you may have... -
Backup camera lens is scratched/pitted = blurred vision
Wow! That looks like quite a gouge. My only related experience is putting in an alternative to this camera due to the spare tire mount blocking the stock one. That whole assembly can be replaced pretty easily, IIRC, but I have no idea how much a stock camera costs. -
Rear wheel carrier latch question
That's identical to the latch I have, but the mount itself is a little different from yours. I find I have to lift up on the tire mount a bit to get it to go over the friction block/strike plate. Although I haven't tried grinding a ramp onto it yet. Also, note the gaffer tape on the tailgate... -
Rear wheel carrier latch question
If you haven't seen how it works, let me know before you decide against. I can try to get a video of it or something. Even if you're having to get in and out a few times a day, the design may not be bad enough to totally discount their bumper. It is a beast! -
non-decorative-capped lugnut availability?
I got the Gorilla version of the solid nuts as well. I do prefer them considerably over stock; even though I haven't had those caps round off yet, it's pretty clear to me how they easily could. I needed black anyway, so I got the Gorillas. -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
The system I used in the past bypassed the need for storage, other than as a cold-water tank. So pump pulled from that tank (or river, or whatever), then went to a Y valve where one fork went through the heat exchanger and one was a direct (cold water) bypass, then they combined again after the... -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
Yeah, the other way to deal with it, as I mentioned before, is to just have a bypass valve. -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
This might work fine. And I got to thinking this might help simplify another problem. I assume that the heat exchanger is really efficient: it lists at 200,000 BTU/H, and I found online the formula of "System Delivered BTU = 500 x GPM x System Water Temperature Change", so if I want a 50 degree... -
Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
Here it is. Looks like I have some cleaning to do, too. I have a Tactical 4x4 front bumper on the way, and I was wondering if there will be some room behind that for this guy. But in any case, it isn't that big. But the ports are huge! Like I said, 1" pipe thread.
