stainless steel brake lines
I've had mine on since my brake conversion to fit 17s since 2017 and the SS brake lines have been good to me. BTW, here are the part numbers for Stoptech SS brake lines, Front: 950.22000 Rear: 950.22500. It's a direct bolt-on. Super easy to fit and just make sure you bleed your brake system and... -
Head Removal
It's a good amount of work to get the heads off and put everything back together. I've removed the heads with the body on with an engine support bar. I highly recommend setting/locking in the timing tools in place before starting. THE trickiest part out of all this is getting those darn screws... -
Third head gasket job- why are they failing?
Good point @greiswig. Here's a dumb question... going with oem head gaskets again for my '11 LR4. Do I get the original superseded head gaskets or the ones that supersedes the old version? What makes the newer design better/worst than the previous design, if the original design lasted 100k+... -
System too lean at idle - Bank 1 and 2
Have you tried replacing both MAFs? The MAFs will affect fuel trims. What are the STFT and LTFT on both banks? -
Third head gasket job- why are they failing?
@Red Top Engine How's it holding up with the copper spray coat? My replacement head gasket is toast right around 2 years too and was thinking about replacing it and coating it. -
Colorado Land Rover Owners: Is British 4x4 in Aurora still in business? I can't seem to get in touch with them
I second this! A family friend services both of his LR4s there. They have a working LR4 LS conversion kit in the works too! -
Any DIY tips out there on replacing a 2016 LR4 SCV6 Thermostat Housing?
There's a metal retaining clip that holds the plastic coupling to the lower thermostat, just pop it out with a flat head screwdriver. With the thermostat bolted down in place, I used a single paracord and tied constrictor knot around the top side of the lower tube and with the other end another... -

Love the metal rear crossover pipe. Where can I get one? Did you ever change out the fuel flange? If not, it's a good time to do it. -
ARB Fridge
Or you can just remove the second row middle seat and it'll fit in there perfectly. I have an Engel MT45 that's strapped there full time and I can grab a cool beverage from the front seat. -
Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?
Nowadays, there are a ton more options than 3+ years ago for 19s. I'd suggest moving at least to 31s with little to no modifications for more sidewall while off roading. Toyo Open Country AT3, Falken Wildpeak AT Trail (more highway friendly), AT3W (more agressive) or AT4W (superseeds AT3W)... -
Bullet Proof Control Arm Bushings
We'll take the little wins whenever it comes to these trucks. It's been a love/hate emotional roller-coaster. :beer: -
Bullet Proof Control Arm Bushings
Word of advice, just do a quick check on the front lca before a big outing and check for cracks at the rear bushing. So, you don't end up like mine. All it takes is 10 seconds to look. -
Radiator replacement
Nissens is the oem radiator and I would stick to that. Be patient when removing and installing. It takes a while to shimmy it out and into place. -
Tips for cleaning radiator?
Google, "Radiator Genie". There's 2 types, pressured air and water. Lisle 88500 is a good one. -
I think it's time to move on...
Aww... Stories like this pains me. I was in a pretty bad pickle myself and decided to keep mine running. I honestly think that it's just head gaskets that need to be replaced, BUT its an intense job with a hefty price tag. I've removed the heads, few bolts short of doing the head gaskets. I know... -
Colder plugs...worse mileage?
I know back in the tuner racing days, people put colder plugs on boosted cars to stop it from detonating. Not sure if the LR4 uses the same plug for the V8 and SCV6. There's a possibility that the SCV6 uses a colder plug. -
Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?
You'd be surprised when you're spotting someone and they have no sense where their wheels are pointing. -
2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
My skid plates and sliders saw a lot of action. There are a few rocks hiding in the middle of the trail in bushes. -
Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?
Funny, I just did this past weekend. Went to N while rolling downhill while foot on brakes slowing down to around 5 mph, shifted hi/lo, and put it back in D with no issues. Then around 5-10 mph on N went from lo/hi on a flat plateau, and shifted to D without issues. -
2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
I just got back from a 4th of July trip out in the Eastern Sierras in CA. Went from Bishop 4,100' elevation to Coyote Flats top ridge 10,000', explored around with lots of elevation changes between 8,000' to 11,100', through Sugarloaf, dropped back into Big Pine with a total trip of 54 miles... -

It's amazing to see it all coming together! I'm going broke just watching this come to fruition. -
Silicone key fob covers
Thought I'd share this as well, I was tired of replacing my key fob case from falling apart. After I replaced mine for the 3rd time, I had these on for almost 2 years and still going strong. Amazon search, "LR4 silicone key fob" and both key fob types are available. -
Perfect platform mattress
It's a tad too high and hard to move around with my ceiling storage. 3-4 inches lower would be perfect to clear my 2nd row mounted fridge. -
Perfect platform mattress
@powershift I made a folding platform and it's currently 14" tall to accommodate Plano sportsman bins, but it's too tall. I need to revise, lower it about 4 inches and add some drawers. I have another Exped Megamat Duo 10 (green one) , but queen size and I use it in the rtt. I love these... -
Perfect platform mattress
No one asked, but I found the perfect self-inflating air mattress. It's an Exped Deepsleep Mat 7.5 Duo size Medium Double.
