    Camber adjustment??

    I know, I understand the printout. Firestone should be able to get your camber correct without any shims. If they can't, either something on that side is bent from the accident, some suspension component is worn, or they are incompetent. Sent from my HD1905 using Tapatalk

    Camber adjustment??

    That alignment still needs some work. I have the firestone package too, and they were able to align it to spec with all green. I will post the pic if I can find the latest printout but camber is adjustable with the lower cam bolts in the LCAs and toe the usual way. Edit: I have the IID tool as...

    ‘14-16 LR4 Transmission Software Reflash??

    It's funny, I wish I had your 8hp70, as the 6hp is slow, lazy and upshifts way too soon. Grass is always greener on the other side, I guess!

    Thanks, that looks great. I just ordered one. My 140lb Great Dane has been leaving hair galore and the whole car smells like a dog.

    All Terrain Tires?

    I am indeed. They fit without rods. There is very light rubbing in full lock to lock turns but otherwise fine. Also depends on wheel offset and tire model itself. Decent tire choices in this size, with xl/d/e load ratings, etc. Sent from my HD1905 using Tapatalk

    All Terrain Tires?

    Get bigger tires. Consider 275 55 20. Plenty of a/t choices in that size. Sent from my HD1905 using Tapatalk

    LR 4 Retired

    I have been paranoid about mine recently. When cold, it sounds like a diesel (with an extra air pump running) and when it warms up, it's a raspy mechanical sound that, again, sounds like a diesel, but there no sound of rattling or Legos in a bucket or anything like that, just a very diesel-like...

    LR 4 Retired

    I'm actually with you on the diesel L405 - I like the l405 design, much more so than the d5 discovery. That, and I think diesels make more sense for trucks this size. I just wonder if it's possible to get a diesel l405 with any factory off road equipment(low range, etc). Sent from my HD1905...

    Vacuum leak test - 5.0 V8

    Thanks, I'll try that. On a few of my previous cars, I was able to lightly pressurize the intake and listen for air leaks. Thought maybe there'd be a similar process for these guys.

    Vacuum leak test - 5.0 V8

    To those who are running the 5.0 LR4 - do you have an easy way to test for vacuum leaks? I think I may have a minor leak, as it's starting to surge and stumble when cold, but not throwing codes. I want to get ahead of it before it gets worse. I have access to an air compressor. Let me know!

    What is the Largest Tire that fits stock 20" wheels with little to no rubbing?

    Finally sourced a 20in wheel so will try mounting this week! Sent from my HD1905 using Tapatalk

    What is the Largest Tire that fits stock 20" wheels with little to no rubbing?

    I run 275 55 20s on 8.5x20 RRS wheels with very minimal rubbing(and only when turning right). Stock, no lift rods. This past weekend I met someone who had stormers on his lr3(not sure if OEM stormers or knock offs though) and he was running the same tire size with no rubbing. He had Johnson rods...

    LR4 New Light Bar Installed

    Resurrecting this thread. This looks like something I need to install asap into the lower grille of my 2013, to help with pitch black mountain roads where i am the only person on the road for miles. I just need maximum amount of light blasted onto the road in front of me. I saw there is a 30inch...

    Has anyone here supercharged or turbocharged their LR4?

    Yes that is correct. Sport mode also(from experience) locks you out of 6th gear, 5th becoming your top gear then. Sport mode is useful with how it delays upshifts too, as the stock shifting program is way too slow and lazy. Sent from my HD1905 using Tapatalk

    Has anyone here supercharged or turbocharged their LR4?

    That wasn't quite my point. I drive mine in the WV mountains quite often and when I am in a rather short passing zone on a 2ln road and need to pass a semi(or two), the 5.0 is underwhelming. It's adequate(with careful planning) and it's not slow by any means but compared to a Benz m278 twin...

    @Fuji4 I am thinking about buying this for my 6hp28 transmission. Where did you buy your kit and how much was it? Thanks!

    Metal Trans Pan - Gasket?

    I used that high tack adhesive in AB's video but I may have missed a spot or messed it up somehow. Do you know if you have to follow the tightening sequence with this pan/gasket?

    Yes they do! Thank you sir!

    Metal Trans Pan - Gasket?

    So I think I messed up my tightening or installation of the metal transmission oil pan(the AB conversion kit) and it's been leaking since. Not a significant amount but definitely noticeable. I've tried re-tightening but I think the gasket is shot and i need to replace it. I guess I'll do another...

    Has anyone here supercharged or turbocharged their LR4?

    I would describe the power of my 5.0 V8 as merely adequate, not powerful or effortless. The truck is just so damn heavy. In the mountains, I would really appreciate having the 510hp motor. Not sure how much work a swap would be but since the RRS used the same transmission, maybe someone has...

    All Weather or Snow Tires ?

    I run these as well, in 275 55 20. They're great tires, I've had them before. Very good in the snow.

    All Weather or Snow Tires ?

    Dedicated snow tires are always optimal(i ran blizzaks for a while on my old Audis), but if you don't feel like swapping out wheels every season, all seasons with the snowflake symbol are the next best thing.

    Do bushings save control arms?

    I don't know about that. When I replaced my front LCAs, initially I was just going to replace the bushings and leave the ball joints alone. But, the control arm housing around the ball joint was severely rusted, prompting some concerns as to its long term viability and structural integrity. This...

    Stock LR4 and 275 55 20s - the results!!

    After almost a month of living with this setup, I have some updates and feedback. First, there is some faint rubbing under tight right turns(but not left). This happens in the the parking lot and it is audible, although not felt in the steering wheel. Inspecting the tire, there are no visible...
