Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)
I'm just about to embark on the preventative crossover replacement and this would be great. The listing on ebay says "(Note: THIS DOES NOT FIT THE NATURALLY ASPIRATED 5.0 ENGINE!)" but yet later down in the listing it shows this as a supported engine. Is the Jag 5.0 engine different than the... -
Hitch storage
LOL - and I keep mine off because everybody forgets it's there and takes a nice shot in the shin walking around the backside. :) -
Hummer EV
It looks slightly more tolerable than the cybertruck. It seems they tried to take the best of LR + Ford + Jeep and mash it into a Hummer. I'm just not sure they picked the "best of" correctly. They're going after GVWR with that pricing is my guess. They'd be fools to not make it into a SUV... -
Big LR4 issue, cut losses and sell vs fix?
I know the feeling you're bringing up...don't jump to do anything to your ride outside of normal maintenance. This is likely an isolated issue that isn't common as we haven't seen lots of folks reporting it. Get comfortable in your ride and keep up with the normal maintenance but don't freak... -
Can a 2013 LR4 be upgraded to Heavy Duty?
The terrain response system needs to know what's there to work properly. I don't think adding a manual controlled locker will end up very well as the computer will freak out when you activate it. -
Can a 2013 LR4 be upgraded to Heavy Duty?
I think this is the old thread on this with a claim that they managed to use the stock rear locker and upgrade a 2012... https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/rear-locker.30820/page-2#post-206494 The tl;dr on it for most: If you want HD, find one and buy it. -
Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?
I came from Ford because their 4wd system uses a vacuum system to keep in 2wd. When the vacuum starts to fail the hubs start to engage and it basically destroys them. If you want your system to live just drive in 4x4 all the time (which I'm sure will have the terrible Ford turning radius)... -
Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
I had a 99 Dodge Intrepid that had a tensioner issue and I was the 2nd owner of it. The tensioners wore down and the chain shredded one of them and took that piece through the water pump sprocket and killed the engine entirely...smashed the valves and scarred the pistons. That was due to oil... -
Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
2013 - bought it at 24k and it now has 51k on it. Been doing the 6k oil changes with full synthetic 5w-20 Mobile-1 and purpolator filters. I have a mityvac so it's all topside oil changes. No noise from the chain and this better not jinx it. -
Another Defender hint?
The ford site failed just like how their 4wd system will fail. I love the idea of the Bronco but Ford lost me in their Sync tech, hodgepodge 4wd system, lipstick on a pig, etc. I'm waiting on a Rivian at this point...keeping my LR4 a baby as long as I can. -
Defender(s) making a massive scene recovering a 20ton truck
Granted it took two of them but they pulled it off. Pretty impressive frame. -
Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?
you guys must have great dogs. My 3 idiots jump over it and out every freaking time I open the top hatch. -
Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?
Says the guy that built an awesome sleeping platform that I was even brave enough to show my wife. She’s intrigued. She was also very upset that the defender (which has been discussed as my future ride) would have a swing out door. They can do better. Let’s hope the 130 gets us back to normalcy. -
Thoughts on filling up with E10?
Haha. Land of free opinions but not land of free use. Corn lobbyists won over decades ago to start pushing ethanol in fuel to reduce emissions. It’s sort of a joke on all of us. -
Humming sound after vehicle is turned off
Right rear fender area makes me think fuel pump might have just been keeping pressure up. I’ve never heard that on my 13 but that’s the only thing mechanical I can think of in that area of the LR. -
Working on an “infotainment” upgrade
Yes. I went with a cellular edition. The “automatic” pairing for hotspot via the phone isn’t very automatic. It also uses your phone hotspot for GPS if you only go WiFi which is really awful accuracy if you don’t keep the phone out on the dash. You don’t need to pay a monthly service fee for... -
Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?
I bet this’ll be a refit for the 2022 models -
Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?
Yeah. This should be an option that they offer. They’re really limiting folks with a giant swing door. -
Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?
I'm with you. That swinging door is a huge detractor. I think the designers never thought of the impact of use in a garage. I love the split tailgate so much for the same reasons you do. The big swing door doesn't provide a "roof" over your head for outdoor activities, messes with garage... -
Working on an “infotainment” upgrade
The only thing that I wish was different was the iPad interface in the console. The module works great to feed the audio from the device into the head unit but it won't push enough amps into the iPad to charge it. I tore the module apart to see if it was something that was primitive enough to... -
Working on an “infotainment” upgrade
So it's really simple. Originally I was trying to do a fancy custom wood bracket and then realized that a 42 degree gentle bend of dash generally resists adhesion of mounting tape. I decided to get some bar magnets and stick them to the plastic frame above the screen. These are the magnets I... -
2006 LR3 aftermarket radio
You might want to check out my LR4 hack. No android or Apple auto for me. Simple iPad and some magnets. https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/working-on-an-%E2%80%9Cinfotainment%E2%80%9D-upgrade.41578/ -
Another Defender hint?
I dunno...I've driven the ecoboost with the 10spd tranny. I'm not a fan of the bouncy up and down shifting constantly...and I mean constantly. I'd like to see this paired with a 6 speed. -

Reliability
2nd owner, 2013 with now 48k miles on it. The brakes have been noisy since 24k when I became owner but they still work great. I've been tempted to change them but not willing to cough up the cash for silence. New battery and oil changes are all I've done. My oldest has claimed it for first...
