Highest mileage LR4?
If you're looking at the telluride, you might want to consider the Hyundai palisade, same platform but leans posher, with rear air springs. -

Front propshaft / driveshaft replacement
It's really worth the time looking for the workshop manual if you don't have it, lots of good information in it. I found copies in somebody's Google drive or OneDrive, I think linked from this site but maybe it was another enthusiast site. I think you can pay for a one day subscription and... -

Front propshaft / driveshaft replacement
There's a section in the workshop manual that describes the sequence and torques and so forth. The shaft seems to be telescoping, so you undo the CV joints at either end, compress to release from the diff, then remove from the transfer case. The transmission cross member is documented as... -

Which would you rather?
For me, it would depend on options, specifically whether it had the HD package (with the 2-speed transfer case and locking differentials). Like others said though, a pre-purchase inspection by a reputable shop is a must for all of them. I went through a few candidates before getting our LR4... -

Batteries
I've been thinking of setting up an Anderson connector from the battery to somewhere near the grill, so I can hook up my compressor without having to pop the hood. Could also be used to hook up a battery charger or tender. I still dream of getting a hood mounted solar panel to keep things... -

Highest mileage LR4?
Knowledge is power? I'm aware it's expensive, I understand that I had to do a lot off preventative maintenance given it's age, and I think it's totally worth it. It's in tip top shape now, and should remain that way for a good while given how little it gets driven. -

Highest mileage LR4?
I'm at $0.26/mi for maintenance, $0.29/mi for gas, $0.13/mi for insurance, and $0.02/mi for registration. So $0.70/mi all up, ignoring purchase price and depreciation. I only recently started doing my own work on it, though, so expect the costs to go down over time going forward. -

Highest mileage LR4?
The $10k LR4 would need the same amount of work you've put into your rig, again, if you're thinking of just swapping rigs each time service is due. If you have the ability to ship things for cheap, places like FCPEuro that let you return used oil make oil changes super cheap (I think my last... -

Common fuel pressure issue?
Wrenching in a white shirt, there's confidence for you! -

Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off
My 18v LXT kit works great, and my little chainsaw takes two batteries in series. They make a charger that works off of 12vdc, too, so suitable for taking along backcountry (along with the little chainsaw) -

Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off
I'd expect the hook used for the jack would work fine, does it not? -

Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off
I believe the newer models have the eye hook style, and I heard it was to prevent garage monkeys from using their impact wrenches to make quick work of raising the spare. -

Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off
You could get the necessary tools for less to crack it open. Granted you might still need to replace once you see the carnage inside. -

Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off
I've used a cheaper kit with 'normal' handles, and it was terrible. I have the ARB speedy seal kit, it has T-handles which lets you apply a lot more force. Batteries on TPMS sensors are not replaceable, they are a sealed unit. When I got the toyo AT3, the spare was still the same original... -

Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off
The light will light up for the spare, too. It's pretty tough to get the insertion tool through the tire casing. My kit comes with a reaming tool and a bit of lube that you're supposed to apply before trying to insert the patch. My TMPS light came on when I was aired down (as expected) but... -

Increased Performance
The sliders I have my eye on are the tactical 4x4 ones, heavy and expensive though. Some of the prospeed stuff is super fancy, like their under belly and rear diff armor, but I suspect the market for the lr4 is drying up. -

maintenance history since new 2013
The U-joint can seize up in the lower steering shaft. Just had to do that, it's not too hard, some of the access it pretty tight so getting things torqued can be challenging. -

Increased Performance
With the clearance issues, are you concerned at all about damaging the EAS system? I was considering getting rock/tree sliders as my first underbody armor, but it looks like you don't have either from your pictures, but you have the control arm skids. -

Long crank, no faults
Partial throttle will rev the engine, I found out when wearing my winter boots and pressing on the brake pedal also happened to press on the gas. I was surprised by how much higher than normal the engine revved. -

BCM SDD Questions
Knowing nothing about this, I would expect firmware images to be based on the board model/revision numbers and not model year. At least that's how I would design the system... -

I just switched from the poly bushings to the OEM ones and it is a very noticeable improvement in ride quality. -

LR4 Front Fender Modification for Larger Tires
Yes, people have cut and welded it. The only negative would be a departure from the factory intended crash worthiness - the frame horn there is intended to keep the wheel from intruding on the footwell in a crash. While you may no longer rub with your 2" lift, you will rub if you ever have a... -

gallery pressure
That's temperature shutdown, when the compressor reaches 130*C, it then waits for temps to drop back to 110*C and starts up again. It does look like there's a pressure drop from when it shuts down to when it starts up, but that could be due to temperature change too due to the air cooling and...
