    Considering an LR4. Would you buy one at 100k mileage?

    120k with oil changes every 7500 miles and lots of service history > 75k miles and 15k oil changes and no service history. I bought my truck with under 50k on it, so there really wasn't much history on it. Once you get closer to 70-75k those neglected trucks start to gather up issues. I have...

    Control arm questions

    Are they still fluid filled bushings? I'm gonna need control arms soon, and was thinking either the Lemforders from FCP Euro bc of the lifetime warranty.

    The Great Engine Oil Debate

    It is definitely different oil with a different additive pack, but since all these trucks are out of warranty I wouldn't recommend either. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is a better off the shelf option, and the boutique stuff like Liquid Moly and Amsoil is the same price as the OEM Castrol and better.

    Fog lights

    If they sell a mount for the up to MY21 WRXs, it’s 99% the same.

    Fog lights

    Diode Dymanics SS3s with the Type A mount should bolt in to the factory fog locution. I just haven’t bought them yet.

    Looking to buy this LR4, but rattle at cold start. Goes away when warm...

    The crank failure is purely an issue on the diesels. It’s well documented on ROW trucks.

    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    There’s no splicing, it’s all non-permanent. Even in the newest Naviplus thing that retains the GPS the most you are doing is going inside the factory monitor and moving a ribbon cable. With the one I bought, all you do in unplug two factory wires, and plug in a new one into the screen and a Y...

    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    I'd buy it. I want the bigger and more modern screen, but the same "base" LR brain behind it and CarPlay added. That's actually what Naviplus or whatever does. Its the same hardware you can get for $300, but with better software and good instructions and customer service. That extra stuff costs...

    Looking to buy this LR4, but rattle at cold start. Goes away when warm...

    chains will rattle more on warm startup, and rattle less cold. the best test is to listen for the first few seconds on a warm startup, you'll hear the slap. these motors are loud AF bc of the injectors but there's definitely something else going on there.

    Best roof rails and roof rack?

    the quick release rails are clutch. I'm probably going to pick up a yakima platform to mount to my bars so I can pop the whole thing on/off easily when its needed.

    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    I have my CarPlay thing plugged in that way on my 2013. its.. fine. I pulled the jack out of the inside of the center console though and have it hooked up all underneath it, so you can't see the plug. I like this big screen solution better than what I have but I need that touch to work over...

    Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?

    It doesn’t matter. The ZF 6 speed is in every European car.. bmw, jags, MBs, and then of course all the ford 6Rs. Any competent euro shop can do this service. I guess if you live in a state that doesn’t serve many late model euro cars, it can be difficult.

    Foreign transmissions?? The F150 uses the same trans.

    Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?

    I don’t have any affiliation besides talking to the guys there while they charged me out the ass for an alignment. The tech did work on freeing up a seized bolt that he probably would have normally just cut out and made me buy a new control arm.. so I give them that. Like anywhere else, it...

    Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?

    the dealer charges a LOT of hours because they have to drop the crossmember to R&R the factory pan. obviously you've watched the AB videos where they use the Ford pan, but the dealer won't do that. my truck shifted weird after, but I didn't use ZF fluid. I reset the trans values and its back to...

    Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?

    That service department is actually pretty good in my experience, but they're incorrect. They changed it on my buddy's truck like two months ago when he asked, and you're right it is part of the service. Call back and ask for the service manager, he's a good guy. Just know its like a $600 service.

    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    I’d be ok with a bigger screen, but I want to use the same “stock” brain. I don’t want to deal with some cheap ass android head unit. So far I’m happy with the alibaba CarPlay thing.

    New LR4 Owner

    255/60-19 tires will fit just fine, no rubbing. Pirelli makes a good street tire (I think its the factory Disco5 one) or you can run the Toyo AT3s if you want something aggressive.

    2015 V6 coolant pipes done. Pics of old pipes

    eh, you'll be fine. those parts are more than likely fine until you pull em out because of the small amount of corrosion that gunks up holding the plastic pieces in place, then you find the weak points and they crumble out. I'm about to turn 60k and I'm not worried. My buddy's 13 is at 80k on...

    Weird suspension fault

    I'd say you need to get a more LR focused reader on there and start doing diagnostics. pumping up each corner, etc, to see what will trigger a code.

    Terrafirma hidden winch install

    If you aren't buying a made in the USA warn, or something crazy like a RED comp winch.. just buy the cheapest winch you can fit with a 10k rating. smittybuilt has a pretty good warranty.
