Where to tap coolant for a shower heat exchanger?
There's a n-i-p-p-l-e on the front crossover pipe that is already open. On the V8 there's a cap on the n-i-p-p-l-e at the y-pipe. I'm sure there's something similar for the newer LR4s. Not 100% sure about this, but it looks like the '14 and up has a different pipe that has a cap (#22). Maybe you... -
Rear wheel carrier latch question
I have the Terrafirma one and it's nice. The strut definitely was a nice touch to help swing out and keeps it there, but it only swings out about (guessing) 95°. The latch is simple enough that my wife and kids can latch/unlatch it. I put a tiny pin in it to keep it from accidentally popping... -
Timing parts purchased are quite different
scv6 and v8 are the same motor with the same internals, the scv6 just has 2 blanked cylinders. The timing chain tensioners, guides, and chains are all the same. The newer 2nd revision has a new design to change the geometry of the tensioners pushing on the guides to provide better leverage, but... -
2015 US LR4 Tailgate won't open
Sounds to me like your cable came off of the actuator or the actuator isn't fully extending/contracting to unlock the upper tailgate. If the rubber buttons aren't working, you'll probably need to replace the rubber button. Here's a good video to check out, While you have your tailgate opened... -
Before Top Dead Center
The key is finding it. Choke the wheels, put it in Neutral. If your battery is off the truck, pull the center cup holder and push the white plastic shift lock in to put it in Neutral. The way I found it is to stick a long kebab stick down cylinder 1 through the spark plug, rotate the crank... -
Prospeed ladder installed - tailgate struts need help
I've had mine since 2018 and it's still holding up pretty well. Maxpow: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C5MTASI/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_R6E3YGSQC6SW948BMNJ1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
I have a full set of height sensors. However, my XLifter has a bypass and there's other ways around a failed height sensor. Oem stuff, maybe ignition coil(s), fluid, coolant, fuses, and not really much. I typically double-check everything a week+ in advance to make sure everything is in tip-top... -
Just received my notice to put my deposit down on a Grenadier
My buddy received the same email and they're honoring the presale pricing at $71k. They probably didn't want to get slapped with a clickbait lawsuit. He's going to buy it for the presale of $71k and probably resell it at msrp $90-100k. This market is crazy. It's not going to let off anytime... -
Question for LR4 owners that switched to 18" wheels
As far as ET or offset goes, the difference between ET44 and ET27 is 17mm or 0.66", which means that it'll protrude outwards 17mm or 0.66". This gives the option to run a proper wheel spec without wheel spacers for the "look" or wider stance. Running wider also means that it takes a little more... -
Front skid plate options?
Something I also learned is stainless steel bolts suck! They can seize up more frequently than standard zinc plated bolts. I actually like my zinc bolts, silver or yellow. -
Replacement Valve Guides
@slav rys My buddy's LR4 5.0L has the same issue and needs to get that all worked out in Denver too. Where about in Denver did you get your heads done? And do you mind, how much did that run you (you can PM me if you want to keep it private)? TIA -
Before Top Dead Center
Oh, I would also like to add that you should mark the position of the chuck on the crank pulley. It'll save you down the road from trying to find the position later. -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
I've been running my SYA kit for a while now too and that's when I added the push to connect fittings and extra tubing. I added it, because it was convenient to do it at the time. So, I'd agree with @avslash that it's really not a huge concern if you're using 6mm all the way. For anyone... -
Higher output alternator?
Thanks for the input! It's weird, I know it's working when driving it around. I think when the aux battery dips below a certain voltage and the Renogy can't keep up charging it shuts itself off. I specifically got the 20A version, because I didn't want to strain the alternator at idle. I... -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
I work in IT and had this at my disposal. It works extremely well cutting nylon tubing. https://www.amazon.com/Fluke-Networks-11230002-Round-Stripper/dp/B000E5R3EC?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
Yeah, IMHO, I think the less cuts or points of failure in the lines the better. Hence, my original suggestion of having a straight through union directly to/from the strut and schrader valve. Only use it a catastrophic failure kinda deal. -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
The valve blocks increases/decreases air into the strut. If there's anything obstructing the valve block to the strut, it'll affect normal functionality. So, a 1-way ball valve in between would be bad. It needs to deflate the strut too. -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
It works assuming your valve block is doing its job, specifically cutting power to your compressor fuse F26 and the entire suspension ecu F3. I had butterfly valves between the valve block and tee fitting, but wasn't rated high enough to work. The McMaster link had some 6mm end caps that'll be... -
Before Top Dead Center
Yes, at the crankshaft there is a keyway or chuck where the crank bolt goes in. -
Before Top Dead Center
It's listed in the workshop manual that timing is set at btdc, before top dead center. The chuck on the crankshaft should point at the 6 o'clock position and you need to lock it with the special crankshaft sensor tool. Lock up the camshafts with the special tools. There are 2 marks per intake... -

Yup, something like this. -

Correct, 6mm OD. Here's some good tubing with a max of 1800 bursting psi. https://www.grainger.com/product/GRAINGER-APPROVED-100-ft-Nylon-Tubing-4HHF4 -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
I carry a full 3/8 socket set with deep and shallow sockets, extensions, elbows, 1/2 torque wrench with a 1/2 to 3/8 reducer, ratcheting wrenches, thin wrenches, and just make sure your kit has T20-T55 sockets and 8mm-19mm sizes, including 16mm and 18mm. As far as suspension issues go, build... -
Higher output alternator?
The Renogy 20A dc-dc charger is located in the rear hvac cubby. I ran (Amazon special) 100A breaker fused 2 awg directly to the dc-dc charger, separate wires for aux and starter battery in the engine bay, and a 16 awg signal wire from F60. -
Higher output alternator?
I have the Renogy dc-dc and I think it's ok for light duty use. Maybe it's just me, but on my last trip it failed on me at night while under heavy loads using all my led lights. One would think a dc-dc charger would continue charging even though it's not charging fast enough, but it stopped for...
