    Front end refresh - LCAs + ?

    Thanks, tie rod ends might be a good idea then. You just did outers?

    Front end refresh - LCAs + ?

    Hello all. I have 83k on my 2013 HSE and am getting ready to do the LCAs(both bushings on each side + ball joints). I also bought sway bar bushings and sway links(although not sure if they are worn or not, just seemed prudent). Is there anything else up front that's worth replacing at the same...

    LR4 and an odd 20in tire size..fit?

    THanks I'm not sure how the amount of work is a factor in this, as both 18s and 20s are an equal amount of work, at least for what I want to do. buy wheels->buy tires->mount tires on wheels->put on vehicle. If they rub and there is work involved with trimming frame rails and rerouting things...

    LR4 and an odd 20in tire size..fit?

    Interesting, so 10mm wider doesnt have as much of an impact as overall rolling diameter. I see these are about 32inches. I guess that's the max overall diameter you can run before it starts rubbing. I realize 18s are the way to go, I really do. I generally loathe 20+ inch rims but I really...

    LR4 and an odd 20in tire size..fit?

    I have had my 2013 LR4 for a year now, and it has the factory 19 inch wheels with 255 55-19 tires. I have been wanting to upgrade the tire size for a while and my goal was to drop down to 18 inch rims and get 265 65 18, which is the size that commonly fits without any lift rods, etc. At first I...

    31s on an LR4 without lift Rods??

    There are some choices in 255 60 19, which is 31in. However, the choices with xl sidewalls(which is what you need) boil down to maybe 2-3 tires, all of which have a non-off-road tread pattern. But, that size fits fine without any rods. Common wisdom dictates 265 65 18 is the largest you can fit...

    Thinking about buying an LR4 for Offroading/Overlanding

    I got in thru one of the rear side doors. I was sharing the truck with my 130lb Great Dane and we fit in there great!

    Thinking about buying an LR4 for Offroading/Overlanding

    I just came back from the Mid Atlantic Overlanding Festival in PA. My truck is a stock 13 but does have HD with a rear locker. I did a couple of mild trail rides on stock tires and got to use low range and mud n ruts mode. Came away impressed with how it performed with less than ideal tires...

    Sun Roofs on a 2014 LR4 opinion please

    They all have this, at least in the US. Personally one feature I don't care for and could do without. I think it does heat up the car in direct sunlight, significantly. Plus im never back there to enjoy the supposed extra light. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    255/55R19 Pictures! Duratrac vs. Geolandar A/T G015 vs. Terrain Contact A/T

    No experience on the LR(still have crappy toyos) but had g015s on my previous truck. Absolutely fantastic tire. Great in snow, on highway and awesome treadwear. Would get again. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Leather Dash Peeling/Pulling Up

    Are LR4 upper dashes leather? I always thought it was just vinyl made to look like leather, and have treated it as such. Oops.

    Looking to buy an LR4 and have some questions

    I know one issue is that the 8HP lost the mechanical linkage and went to the stupid electronic shifter, so you'd have to retrofit that somehow....

    Looking to buy an LR4 and have some questions

    One of the few advantages of the 14+ is the 8HP ZF transmission. I much prefer it over the 6HP that 10-13s had. Love the 8hp in anything it comes in(and it comes in a lot of vehicles) Also maybe the facelifted headlights are prettier. Otherwise, 2013 is a good year. I love my 2013 HD. That v8 is...

    Maintenance concerns???

    I bought my 13 in December of last year so I can chime in. It was in good shape with CPO until this March. It had 70k and is about to hit 80. Since then, i have done the following: -oil change at 75k. Easiest oil change ever, with a Mityvac. M1 ep 5w-20. -transmission fluid change using AB's...

    Roof Box Question - LR4

    Here is a picture from a few weeks ago of my lr4 with extended rails, cross bars and a Yakima Skybox Carbonite 16. Fit like a charm, mpg impact is minimal and not much wind noise. Tailgate opens fine. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?

    The wheels aren't bronze, my LR4 is. I was wondering if charcoal or black would go better with Nara Bronze, but after seeing pics of both, still undecided.

    Front Control Arm Replacement

    Scott, did you coat the poly bushes in never-seize(or something else), to prevent squeaking? or was that not necessary?

    Front Control Arm Replacement

    I am getting ready to pull my front LCAs and put in polys. I will try soaking the bolts in pb blast for a couple days beforehand, hope that will suffice. I don't plan on replacing the little bushings, just the big rear ones and then also the ball joint. Was your front bushing toast? Also would...

    Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?

    @TmacRover truck looks great, thank you for the pics. That's a great tire size, lots of sidewall.

    Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?

    Nice, please post pics. What tires are you going with?

    Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?

    thanks, very useful - looks like he was running some other wheels before and then went to tuffants. Maybe black rhinos? Looks good.

    Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?

    As of March, they were taking preorders - something like $1k for 5 wheels, plus 250 for shipping to east coast. I am revisiting this now and seeing if anyone has pulled the trigger and is running these? My goal for now is to run 265/65/18s on these, which is the max size you can run without...

    Transmission swap

    Good luck, this is a thread I'll be following closely. Having done the transmission pan service, I am curious to see how the removal of the entire transmission goes. The car and the transmission looked to be developed in a siloed manner, with seemingly little to no thought about accessibility in...

    Very intermittent problem - Smart Key Not Found

    Ah but the key has to be communicating continuously(or at least in regular intervals) with the vehicle/module. Otherwise, how would it know as soon as you take the key outside the vehicle after starting it? Gives you a warning. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
