    T44 rock sliders - Test fitting (long post)

    I used Weatherseal-type foam adhesive tape found at a local automotive store, I think it was about an inch wide and maybe a 1/4 to 1/2" thick (the foam will obviously compress as you tighten the various bolts under the vehicle), and applied a single strip to every edge of the slider that could...

    GapIID BT compatibility

    Turn off the radio first, then plug in the module and use the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel to navigate the IIDTool menu when it pops up in your instrument cluster (your ignition should be on of course, although the engine doesn't have to be running.) If you pick another "cheap"...

    OT, Range Rover dropped his subwoofer...

    Hey, I learned something new today (the comma and period keys bit.)

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Don't know what you mean by "work the belts"... If I am on a trail I prefer not to wear the seat belt, it can get in the way. As mentioned above, you can turn off the beltminder chime (and you don't need a diagnostics tool for that.)

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    A 265/60R18 will fit in the spare well, fully inflated, no modifications necessary. A 265/65, not so much (you should be able to squeeze it in partially deflated, and you will probably need to remove the heat shield. It will be a very tight fit regardless. After you jam it up there, make sure...

    OT, Range Rover dropped his subwoofer...

    That's not a Range Rover Sport. A Sport would have, like, totally pulled that off.

    Asfir 4x4 sump guard

    Nothing there. I was going to get the steel one from Tactical, but it wasn't quite ready back when I got my rock sliders and fuel plate from them.

    Asfir 4x4 sump guard

    No gear guard, sorry. Only bit I got from them was the front skid plate.

    Asfir 4x4 sump guard

    I am not familiar with the design of the 2014+ bumper down there (2013 here), but your photos are confusing the heck out of me. ;) There are several side shots of the Asfir front guard (I think), seemingly mounted in place, but the removable bumper cover for the tow ring is showing through the...

    Asfir 4x4 sump guard

    Yup, as a matter of fact I remember I had to "shave" some of the plastic off those two corners with an Exacto knife to get the front portion of the Asfir plate to sit at the correct angle over the bumper. Also, is there a strip of foam applied to the upper edge of the front plate - the part you...

    Hold my beer...LR4 gets stuck, goes viral

    I saw a longer video of this on Facebook. A tow truck pulled him out a short time later. Engine was making funny noises when he restarted it (I imagine quite a bit of saltwater in the engine bay and passenger side air intake), but he drove away unassisted.

    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    Who's the manufacturer of the glass they installed?

    Resetting service required message

    Reset is done with a diagnostics tool for those model years (dealer or aftermarket tools such as IIDTool can do it.) Only 2014s and later can be reset without it.

    LR4 19 inch wheels to 20 inch wheels and tires

    The IIDTool has a speedo recalibration routine in its settings... But why bother? Even assuming you upsize tires (if you simply switch from OEM 19 to OEM 20' tires and rims, you won't change a thing as the overall circumference of the tire and revolutions per mile will remain the same), the...

    IID Tool - What are your favorite features?

    The EAS values are unique to each vehicle, therefore the number of mm of additional lift allowed will vary quite a bit. 35-40 mm is probably about average. Very few are able to get 50+ mm adjustments, and some are limited to 25 mm or less, depending on their initial calibration numbers. I...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    All I can tell you is that in 2013 I purchased a set of compatible sensors for my early build 2013 (5 of them including the full size spare, 315 MHz like yours) from an online outfit, and my tire shop installed them on my new PD1880 rims. Didn't ask them at the time if they had any issues...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Did they say why they wouldn't work with the Compos? They look like the correct sensors for your car.

    Thoughts?

    I don't believe cost was a factor, but rather it was a style choice at the time, if you think about it back in 2009 when the LR4 was launched LED strips were nowhere near as ubiquitous - and nowhere near as obnoxiously overused, in my opinion - as they are today in virtually every friggin' car...

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    My regimen: oil and filter change religiously every 7500 miles - that's about every 3 months for me - using "cheap" 5W-20 Mobil 1 EP from Walmart, and a BG fuel and air induction service every 30K, so once a year (about $120 locally.) 135K miles / 217K km so far, and the engine is as smooth as new.

    LR4 Glove box Door Hinge Pins Removal w/out special tool

    Good tip, thanks! I do need to clean and/or replace the blower fan down there (it's been squeaking on and off for months now... it works but makes an annoying noise while driving), and although several owners have reported that removing the glove box is not necessary to replace it, it looks like...

    Head unit issue

    Based on your troubleshooting results, my guess would be that you have a bad amp. The integrated audio module processes the one device in the loop that doesn't require audio amplification (the camera) but disables every other source, since the power amplifier is now bypassed.

    Does Air suspension need to be in Offroad mode for Hoisting jack?

    The problem is, you can't "lock it down". When you jack up one wheel, it doesn't really matter which height you start from, access or off-road, the suspension will extend all the way down before the tire gets off the ground.

    Spare 19" rim?

    I searched "19" LR4" on eBay and got several classified ads for individual OEM wheels, from $215 and up. If the style doesn't matter to you, there should be quite a few to pick from.

    Request big favor from someone with iiD tool & 2016 LR4

    Are you sure your TPMS works at 315 MHz and not 433 (this would be spelled out in your VIN's build specs)? The frequency switch occurred during MY2013 production, so if yours is a late build 2013 you may have the wrong frequency sensors installed in the wheels. The limited service /compact spare...

    About those Plastic Windshield ticket tabs...

    I never had those on my 2006 Sport or 2013 LR4. Were they standard issue on the LR3?
