    Is HD package so useful in snow?

    If you don’t have a full size spare then you don’t have the rear locking diff. I have a 2010 as well (without HD package) and yes it will show 2 diffs on the screen however the rear one will never lock and you will notice that when you see the center one lock over technical terrain but yet the...

    Jarring noise on washboard roads

    Reviving this forum, my front right Sway Bar mount bushing just blew so I figure it’ll be better to do them both. Why is the drivers side a pain and would it be worth it to have a shop do it?

    Spark plugs?

    When you talk about heat range are you sayings the 6c’s are worse then the 7c’s are? I do have a 2010 so id think some of them are probably starting, if not, slightly corroded already.

    Spark plugs?

    Exactly my situation but with my dad. my fear is just leaving them in too long and it possibly warping to the block or corroding it. but then again, I’m not sure if what I said is exactly true, it’s just what I’ve heard. also with gas prices rising I’m worried I could be getting worse Gas...

    Intermittent burning smell?

    random question but do you smell it when your inside the car or do you smell it on the outside. if it only smells on the inside I wouldn’t stress it but if you smell it on the outside I’d worry a bit more.

    Spark plugs?

    I was going through my maintenance of what I needed to have done within the next month and I realized that I had never replaced my spark plugs at 105k. I current have 131k on the truck and it still runs great, no lack of power, no rough idle, no check engine light, the car runs absolutely...

    Intermittent burning smell?

    Weird, I only smell the slightest of burning when my heater is on. Does everything feel like it’s running well, trans, engine, differentials?

    Exhaust solutions?

    I cut my center resonator off, by no means is it obnoxious on the out side and it sounds actually really good on the inside. Barley any drone, and not loud unless your pushing it past 3k. I can include a video if you’d like. But just for price effective portion I’d go with the center resonator...

    LR4 Timing Chain repair questions

    I’m shocked your hearing it at 65k, I have 130k on my truck and I still haven’t heard the rattle yet. I’m praying I will never have to hear it, but it’s inevitable.

    Brakes

    10-14k!? I brake pretty lightly when coming to stop lights and I’ve gone about 16k on new pads and rotors and my brakes still feel pretty good, like they could go another 15k at least. 14k is a really short life span.

    LR4 2016, the engine is dead!

    wish you recorded everything they said, if you have any text or documents from them file them and call a lawyer. See if you can get them to admit the part they replaced failed and make sure there is no paper stating that they are not responsible for the parts they replaced within a 24hr period.

    Continental terraincontact AT tire wear

    Currently running 265/65R18 Ridge Grapplers. Pretty great tire all around, pretty quite for an AT tire, look aggressive and are pretty good off road. Biggest mistake was getting the 114T (less tread and softer rubber not as high as a load range) instead of the 122Q’s. This this plays a big roll...

    Intro and oil type/interval/filter questions

    Really? If there was one on the 5.0 where would it be? I didn’t think they had enough space since the engine bay is rather small in these trucks.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Yes I did and I used the tight tolerance mode but i think they did a ****** job, I’m going to take it to another shop but I tend to notice my wheels tend to go Into positive camber when I turn even at low speed. However I’ve had the suspension and all bushings and ball joints looked at multiple...

    Showoff Your LR4

    I see you have ridge grapplers, what’s your wheel and tire set up? I tend to experience quite a bit of ware on my 265/65R18’s on the outer part of the tires. I’m running these on Tuff ant 18 steelies as well as a gap tool lift of “20mm” which is more like an inch to 2 inches lifted in reality...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    No sh*t, need to hear the process, I plan on pulling the engine and trans in a couple of years around 175k and doing the same. How much did the engine and labor cost you?

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    Well, today I had my LR4 towed to my indi Land Rover shop when my serpentine belt decided to shred itself and make an awful squeaking noise. Thank god I had my windows down and heard the squeak before my coolant started boiling over, after opening the the hood I could already hear it sizzling...

    I run 265/65R18 nitto ridge grapplers. Ye alignment is preformed at the same hight with tight tolerance mode on. I’m at a loss as well, anyone else have any ideas?

    Suspension tuning

    there shouldn’t be anything going out of spec. The Control arm and sway bar link bushings were just done about 15k miles ago. Any thoughts?

    Suspension tuning

    Ok so I’m still having the issue where my tires are wearing faster on the outside despite the customer request of -1.5 camber on all wheels. Is there anything else I’m missing, the car was put in tight tolerance mode. Note that I do have about a one in a half inch lift on the car through the IID...
