    Hidden Winch - Voyager Racks

    Voyager is kicking ass. Good to see. That looks like a clean setup. I feel like i need protection as much or more than a winch, so I went with an ARB, but I think this is a solid option.

    Grille guard / brush guard

    i should have a lot more info and photos of the arb summit bar soon. in theory it arrives mid-october. im putting a zeon platinum 10s and the 9.5"arb intensity lights on it. i agree on the t44 front bumper. i have the t44 rear and skids and sliders, but the arb is much more polished as an...

    Grille guard / brush guard

    I don't know anyone with it, but search around, a few other cheaper options out there. Probably are not anywhere near as strong, but if its just for looks... http://vanguardoffroad.com/cars/land-rover/discovery-lr4/05-13-land-rover-lr3-lr4-front-bull-bar-bumper-protector-guard-s-s.html

    Grille guard / brush guard

    VPLAP0022 is plastic junk. Doesn't help with anything. What are your goals for it? Protection? Light mounts? Winch? Most "Brush Guards" are exactly that, will keep a branch off your headlights but that is it. If you hit anything, including animals, they just damage more. They will take...

    Locating Correct Fuse for Tap

    How much power does that CB draw. That's the first thing you need to establish. You don't want to put too much load on a tiny little feed wire. I see in your sig you have a amp/sub wired up, Did you run a thick wire to the rear for that? Could you have a distribution block for accessories...

    Lucky8 Proud Rhino Sliders

    That is strange. What hole did you have to widen? the very front bolt on the underside of the sill perhaps? (I never installed the bolt there because you had to drill into the plastic to make room for it. However with the T44 sliders, you have to cut the whole bottom off that plastic trim...

    Will 2003-2005 RR wheels fit on LR4?

    I run Blizzak DM-V2 on stock 19" wheels, they are amazing.

    Reflashing IPC ECU with GAP IIDTool ?

    I am curious about what you find out with this. I have explored these menus but haven't had the balls to try upgrading anything. I didn't want to poke the bear. Please let us know what you learn.

    Extended Warranty

    I am still not sure I understand peoples reasoning for some of these warranties. You are placing a bet, you wager that you will need repairs greater than the cost of the warranty. The warranty company is creating a contract (covering certain things) and pricing it in such a way... they are...

    Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?

    I heard about the coating preference from someone at zincnation. I called them. I may be missing some aspects, sure, but that is what I was told. The powder coating was done by a local shop (Premier Powder coating in Dubuque, IA) that seems to mostly handle industrial jobs. They can coat...

    My LR4 next to a new Discovery...

    All of my neighbors and people around town know me, because you wont find a rig like mine anywhere else in the area (like... Iowa)... But I feel bad because they drive around in soul suckingly common and boring vehicles that you literally see every 30 seconds on the road. It is always too...

    Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?

    I had Eric send me the sliders metalized and then powder coated them at a local place, it was $60 for me to have the both coated locally... you also don't have to worry about freight messing up the finish. BTW... Zincnation can coat them with either zinc OR aluminum... You want zinc for...

    My LR4 next to a new Discovery...

    Let's not get carried away. i mean... I largely agree with some of the sentiment here.. but those friggen chevys have absolutely no soul what so ever.

    Spare tire winch

    what was your build date? (or month).

    Spare tire winch

    My 2013 has the newer one apparently. You have to use the hook through the hole, it doesn't have the lug sized thing. Has a date of 01/13 on it.

    Discovery SVX

    I am interested in what they did on the long travel shocks and control arms.... we need that for LR4!! I just drool at the long travel 5th gen 4runners I have seen.

    My LR4 next to a new Discovery...

    says 770 on my hitch. 10% of 7700. i know people gripe about the towing, but I have never had an issue with the stock setup and a very heavy 26' boat. I would consider a Rhino hitch if this one starts giving me trouble.

    18" wheels, besides compomotive

    Seems like pretty much no info about them. Who actually makes them? how much do they weigh? Let us know if you go that route, but i'd be careful about it.

    Driver's Side Rear Cargo Compartment...

    ya, same here. I dont think it happens very often, or if it does I have just learned to ignore it.

    Driver's Side Rear Cargo Compartment...

    I have this same glitch. I have the HSE Lux with the upgrade stereo. Sometimes it will do this and I have to 'touch' the sub volume in settings to make it turn on.

    2011 LR4 - MPG getting worst

    I just did another trip for the eclipse. 7+ hours each way, and the trip back was mostly traffic... 5.0L V8, 55k miles on her, all loaded up again, did 17 to 19 mpg the whole time. I'm still not sure why im getting good mpg lately, but its been great.

    2011 LR4 - MPG getting worst

    Would be good to figure out what the source of this is. I doubt its just tires. I run 265/65R18 worn ATs and this last weekend I drove 14 hours (7 each way) with roof cases and full rig, with full skids, full bumper with full jerry cans.. and very little wind. Ended up getting around 18-19...

    20/50 oil

    Be aware though that the 2010-2012 LR4 do have a weakness in the timing chain guides and those can go wrong and make sounds.

    LR4 Steering Sounds

    I just noticed this same issue on mine today. Radio was off, a/c wasn't working hard. I'll probably try and do the flush sometime soon. Is the power steering fluid all that specific? most of them are compatible with all makes and have additives. I topped up my fluid recently (was down a...
