Intro! Firenze in HD
Just a little comparo as I’ve hit 12 months with the truck. I feel like it needs a name but I haven’t come up with anything. Anyways, here’s to 12 months of trouble free ownership! -
GAP TOOL (LA or SF)?! 2015 LR4
The tools are VIN locked. Not sure if someone can pay Gap to add another VIn, yours, just to do the one thing. -
Just exceeded warranty, where is everyone buying oil and Filters from to perform fluid change
So I've had a gradual decline in my willingness to spend $$$ on oil. I started with the Gucci OE stuff from Atlantic, then stepped down to my preferred LiquiMoly Molygen from FCP Euro, and now, for the first time, I stepped down again to Costco Full Synthetic 0-20. But I'm changing at 5K... -
Hidden Winch Install Question
Hmmm. not sure about screws. On my ARB Summit install, it calls for simply cutting that thing down to flush. Utility knife FTW. -
Best way to attach winch to stock battery?
I wish I could tell you specs for that extra bolt for the spare positive terminal. I thought I had posted it somewhere. Let me search. -
Best way to attach winch to stock battery?
Here’s how I have mine, if this is what you’re after. -
Best way to attach winch to stock battery?
This is discussed somewhere, though I Don't have it handy. The consensus was negative to the battery ground post behind the fuse box. Someone posted the Land Rover OE instructions for wiring too, and they show grounding in that manner. And positive to the battery pos. That's how I've wired my... -
Brake Pad Rattle Advice
Woah great find. NASA has good stuff. What to do about it remains a conundrum. I mean, I drive with my window down a lot and the rattle is so unbecoming of the LR4 ☹️ -
Brake Pad Rattle Advice
Lol I know!! I was experimenting to see if slopping it in there would quiet it down. Negative. There’s something wrong obviously. I’ll have to just try new clips and pads and see. Stupid annoying problem. Oh yeah and my solar panel came up in two spots, front and back, towards end of the trip... -

Brake Pad Rattle Advice
I suppose anything is possible. Unfortunately I didn't keep the packaging. Some of this is def my fault for needing to get the truck up and running as quickly as possible. Should have contacted the vendor, confirmed authenticity, etc. Grrrr. At least a pad swap is easy...ish. -
Brake Pad Rattle Advice
Very interesting. I'm a '12. With the anti-vibe plate removed, the fit was still super tight, but about similar to what I recall on new pads and discs for a few other jobs I've done. I'm not an expert, but I've swapped discs and pads 2-3x. I used FERODO from RMEuropean. FDB4455 came with new... -
Showoff Your LR4
Last week out in the Mojave. At the Ivanpah Solar facility. This thing is insane. -
Brake Pad Rattle Advice
Your truck is a beauty. It took me a while but I was able to sell those OE black 19" wheels to offset the price of the Compos. Just sayin'. :) The brakes thing is annoying. I may try some new hardware to see if that helps, or else a new/different set of pads...:dontknow: -
Brake Pad Rattle Advice
Hmm OK thanks. I just double-checked and yes it's the "feet" of the pad that slot into the clips. They feet are rattling around like the retaining clip isn't squeezing them enough. Maybe I just need to get out some vice grips and have a go at it. -
Brake Pad Rattle Advice
I changed out my front rotors and pads about two weeks ago using Zimmerman and Ferrodo pads. The pads looked markedly different than what came off the truck. Large silver-colored cylinder thing on one side and thick anti-vibration pads on the backs. Upon attempting to refit, and doing everything... -

Intro! Firenze in HD
Sure. I used some adhesive zip tie mounts I found at my Ace. I stuck some VHB on their bases and then stuck them to the lower portion of the hood and routed the cable into the driver’s side area where the brake res is. -
Intro! Firenze in HD
I used a black silicone adhesive around the the corners and washer nozzles. ;) -
Intro! Firenze in HD
So already had a homebrew battery box with an MPPT so I only needed the panel, and Lensun was super easy to work with, responsive to emails etc. I ordered just the panel and you do need your own two rolls of VHB to attach. Use LOTS of VHB. I didn't use enough on the front edge and it started to... -
Intro! Firenze in HD
Prep continues for my first “big” overland trip. Getting close to heading out for the first segments of the East Mojave Heritage Trail, a bigger, longer, more remote version of Mojave Road. To that end, because camp time won’t be sufficient to linger around while Solar recharges my solar... -
Tuffant Simpson 18" Alloys in Smoked Gray
Oh and for whatever reason the bolts that came with mine from Lucky 8 weren’t long enough for the bottom mounts but were perfect for the side holes. So I had to buy 12 additional allen cap M8x40 1.25 thread bolts to reach the bottom. Ymmv. -
Tuffant Simpson 18" Alloys in Smoked Gray
Unfortunately I didn’t bother to do a write up on my experience. However the issue I encountered is well-documented around here in some threads. Basically there are some hard lines that interfere with the lip towards the rear of the slider. But, with a buddy and a hacksaw, grinder, your cutting... -
Tuffant Simpson 18" Alloys in Smoked Gray
I like that too! Nice combo. I also just installed my TF818 sliders from LK8. Passenger side went on like butter, installed it solo in about 25 minutes. Driver side did require the previously discussed cutouts to clear the bend and clamp on the lines. All good otherwise and does not interfere... -
Spare tire fitment 265/65R18
I just did this method with my spare BFG 265, which is a touch less in diameter than the Ridge Grappler which is what I also run. Fitting a new new Ridge in the spare is gonna be a fight for sure.
