    Latest recommendations for front bumpers?

    I can speak on the TR bumper. Yes. Pain to remove the headlights and grill once on. If you want to see my install videos go to my Instagram @northbeachrovers and look for the bumper install story.

    Latest recommendations for front bumpers?

    Tactical Rover all the way IMO. All 3 bumpers allow you to keep the options you are looking to retain. I was able to see the ARB, proud rhino and tactical up close and chose the tactical because the winch tray sits up higher, has a better approach compared to the ARB (proud rhino is about the...

    LR 4 Retired

    This shouldn't be compared to the LR3/LR4. It's bigger, more expensive. It's Toyota's flagship SUV.

    LR 4 Retired

    And in regards to the LC...I'm not saying I need a fancy interior. I just don't want the same interior as a Camry or tundra. Plastic fantastics.

    The wrench turner part is especially true. Amazing how a $1200 job will turn into $80 and a few beers while jamming out in the garage.

    LR 4 Retired

    I feel that for some it's more than that. Toyota, great company. I have a problem with their subpar approach to really setting the LC apart from the others. When I sat in the LC200 I just looked around and noticed a Toyota/Lexus parts bin of equipment. Things found in upgraded modeled...

    Yeah you all can kick rocks because a Land Cruiser needs to be a 60 series. I really love that model. Beautiful vehicle.

    LR 4 Retired

    And I too am a secret fan of the lc200... Almost bought one. They are reliable, treat you right, won't let you down but like a homely chubby girl...I didn't actually want to be caught in one. Sticking with the hot blonde that may cheat on me... But hey, I'm addicted to beautiful things and...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    @jwest Out of curiosity what did your rig weigh in at last when it was fully loaded? I'm going to gear mine up to the brim and take it to the weigh station in a week so I am fully aware of where I sit for my next sprint to the mountains. thanks in advance

    Bearmach Rear Shelf

    Picked up this shelf from bearmach.com. Used the code "dobbo" to get 10% off. Thought it was a clever item. Super easy install, seems pretty sturdy and I can still see very clearly out my rearview mirror. I've been looking for one of these for a while... The company that made them before...

    LR 4 Retired

    I see a lot of figures being thrown around. I invested about $800 in different sets of tools over the past few years along with a $400 gap tool and now find myself maintaining my vehicle on a regular basis. Parts aren't that expensive... But self diagnosis, repair and maintenance isn't for...

    Winch recommendations for ARB deluxe bumper

    This was one of the reasons I went with the 12k off the bat as I was so close to going with the 10. Didn't want to redo and with all the steel skids, sliders, gear etc the 12k gives me piece of mind... Plus I couldn't justify not going with a better version of the winch with it not being that...

    Showoff Your LR4

    That's next on my list! By the way, the grade 8 hardware upgrade is kind of a pain in the ass, it gets tight in there when getting those lock nuts into place.

    ‘14-16 LR4 Transmission Software Reflash??

    I experienced a rough idle similar to that and about a week later I took it to the dealership (it was still under warranty) --- they changed the o2 sensors and went back to normal. Other than that, no.

    ‘14-16 LR4 Transmission Software Reflash??

    I have the SCV6 and I don't seem to have the transmission/idling issues which you are stating. We have owned a 2014 RRS SCV6, and you are correct, that feels way more refined. That is also true with my friends 2013 RRS. However, compared to the 2013 LR4 which my neighbor has, I feel the 2013...

    Showoff Your LR4

    installed a t44 front bumper and warn zeon platinum 12-s over the holidays. Took a couple days and a few six packs but came out pretty darn good. I posted the process on my instagram in the stories section @NorthBeachRovers if anyone wants to check it out.

    Winch recommendations for ARB deluxe bumper

    I agree with @NASdiesel . I just slapped a 12k zeon platinum on mine but it was a T44 front bumper. Only thing I would suggest is changing the hardware to 1/2" grade 8. Once you remove that front bumper you will see that the 8 bolts that you use to connect the winch tray to the frame are 8mm...

    D-Rings for towing

    If you ever do look for a D-Ring, my preferred brand is Crosby. That's just me but I have always gravitated to them. They are made in the USA and they are extremely durable.

    2015 LR4 HSE Windshield Wiper (Front + Back)

    the nozzles that shoot the water out are trash. I wish they made ones that distribute the water more evenly like our 2016 RR. The 4 super soaker streams just don't cut it.
