Another Defender hint?
Anyone else see that Jeep just released a concept for a Wrangler with a HEMI V8. Must be their attempt to put the market and news back on them after the bronco. Perhaps this is LRs queue to throw the Supercharged V8 into the Defender?????- Jimmy Brooks

Steering wheel shake
Getting a noticeable steering wheel shake/jitter at higher speeds on most surfaces. Didn’t get this before upgrading to 31’s. I know the 18 inch wheels a long with the bigger tires are much heavier and track different but I’m not sure if the place that put the tires on balanced them the best or...- Jimmy Brooks

'13 LR4 Pending Purchase
Water pumps will be a slow leak you will most likely noticed it. Had mine done around 81k but noticed it much before that. The 13 still have the guide tensioners problems. Also things to expect will be the LCA bushings as well as the sway bar bushings. Make sure and expect air spring leaks as...- Jimmy Brooks

Another Defender hint?
It hurts me to say this but for the first time I’m truly disappointed in Land Rover. After seeing the bronco and studying it, it makes me disappointed because there isn’t truly a good market for this defender. But the part that really makes me disappointed is knowing that Land Rover can do so...- Jimmy Brooks

Another Defender hint?
If they make a removable hard top defender I’d give them a break about the use of non luxury materials. Until then I’ll keep my thoughts the same on sticking to the LR4. if they made a removable hard top defender it would also very well compete on the same level as the bronco and the wrangler...- Jimmy Brooks

Another Defender hint?
This is my toll on this whole thing: JLR is at a completely different place now, vs when they made the LR4. My 2010 LR4 HSE LUX With all the options, except power folding mirrors as well as the 360° parking cameras, Was sticker priced at $58,000. The LR4 was one of the best price for value deals...- Jimmy Brooks

Traction control/ESC issues
I recently swapped 18’ inch wheels with 265/65/18 tires onto my LR4. This 4th of July weekend I went up to Lake Arrowhead which requires you to drive up a mountain with sloped corners that you can take relatively fast even in this heavy of a car. This time however it was crowded going up the...- Jimmy Brooks

Sticky climate control knob fix
You could also take off the knobs and soak them in rubbing alcohol. I did this and rubbed off all the sticky plastic all the way to the plastic. I liked to look of the knobs which is why I did so.- Jimmy Brooks

18’ Tuff ant wheels
Just had my 18’ Tuff ant wheels attempted to be mounted and me being clueless though that these were made so you didn’t have to grind the calipers down or put use spacers. Just to make sure I’m not missing anything, I do have to do one of those options correct. I’d also appreciate to hear why...- Jimmy Brooks

Your experience about LR4 V8 5.0
Personally I’m a Petrol head so I absolutely adore the 5.0 V8. Failure points that are bound to happen are the timing guides and the crossover pipes. I’ve personally only had an issue with the crossover at 111k. Watch transmission and make sure you know that the right oem parts are being used...- Jimmy Brooks

Getting new 18 inch wheels and tires Wednesday. While I was ordering my tires from the shop they told me the tpms from my factory 19’ is able to be swapped to the new 18’ wheels.

2 Q's AC condensate question and steering wheel
I think the AC condensation would be dripping on the exhaust knowing it comes out right above the transmission pan and to both the right and left of the transmission pan are 2 very hot exhaust pipes. That would be my guess but if you think it’s something concerning do so much extra research and...- Jimmy Brooks
