Another Crossover / cooling system job
If your old crossover pipes are in one piece when you replace them, I'll pay shipping for them. I'm working on putting together a kit to replace the OEM plastic with metal/braided parts and AN fittings. -
Replace audio head
So, when you press Nav nothing happens? The CarPlay units literally just replace that.. you unplug the nav system and plug this CarPlay thing in. I have one in my 2013. -

Anyone running 20" BFG KO2 without mods? And, there's a new BFG 20" tire option.
I have the same tires and it fits with the hitch there. Maybe with the hitch on you can't maneuver it into place correctly? -
18”New Defender steelies on LR4
Thats the size I want to go to next if I want to upgrade from the 255/60-19 Toyos. Personally I think those tires are hot garbage though, and you're right about the weight. I don't want 18s unless they're alloys. -
Buying an LR4 from a Buick dealer?? Please help
Actual dealers (most of the time) have some sort of integrity. I bought mine sight unseen from a BMW dealer 1200 miles away, and the truck was extremely well represented and the process was painless. Used car lots on the other hand are a joke. -
Buying an LR4 from a Buick dealer?? Please help
Yes the timing chain stuff was supposedly changed end of 2012, but if the owner of the truck is still doing an oil change every two years or 15k miles, it doesn't matter. As for the work being performed, I wouldn't worry about it. I would try and get some sort of guarantee from the dealer for... -
Towing upgrades
the hitch max load is different than the tongue rating. not sure why it is that way, but it is. -
Buying an LR4 from a Buick dealer?? Please help
Though it may seem daunting to some people, the timing chain job is not difficult. It can be done by anyone competent with a wrench and I'd go as far to say that any technician at any shop would have zero problem doing it. The 5.0 V8 is a very easy modern motor to work on. -

Towing upgrades
You don't need anything different than factory equipment. XL rated tires and the factory hitch. If you don't want the factory hitch, I'd send a message to Safari Guard and see how long until there's are ready too ship. -
Exhaust solutions?
Post a video when it’s all done. Removing the center resonators completely is too loud for me. Just want a tiny bit more growl on throttle. -
Boot height Q (sleeping inside)
It’s more height than my pickup was with a camper shell, and that was doable on a platform. A couple of long weekends a year? Sure. But I wouldn’t want to live out of anything smaller than a four wheel camper type of deal. -
Transmission Fluid Change
I had a couple weird shifts and the truck stalled on me twice at below 5mph in parking lots. No shuddering/slamming.. seemed more like the computers found a fault with line pressures and didn't know what to do. I never read any codes, but my first drain/refill the trans fluid looked was smelly... -
255/65/19 DuraTrac
everyone running the 255/65s I've talked to said you need a lift, whether it be software or hardware. that and that fact that the spare won't fit is why I went with the 255/60s. It looks bad *** though. -
Going to MOAB. Suggestions on a family friendly trail?
Fins N Things is pretty much "the" intro to Moab trail, and you won't have an issue with it. Potash Rd/White rim can be done in a regular old sedan. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Just did this Sunday, took me 4 hours taking my sweet time, from sliding the jack under the truck to parking it after the test drive. I was so happy to get the lube locker gasket, I’ve been using them on diffs since high school and it makes these jobs so easy. The new pan has two drain plugs it... -
Just received my notice to put my deposit down on a Grenadier
The old ones yea, but you’re outside your mind if you think a modern one is going to be better than the AJV8. -

Would you buy this LR4?
The timing chain may never have to be replaced. It comes up a lot more often on forums than it does in real life. Frequent oil changes prevent the issues that wear the guides out. Plenty of people driving these motors with 200k on them on the original parts. The control arms are a wear item. at... -
Would you buy this LR4?
Thats just the Dubai car market. Second hand luxury vehicles go cheap because everyone wants that new jam. -
Would you buy this LR4?
without hesitation. he cut the service intervals by half or more. if you were in the states I'd be buying to flip it because that's a $30k truck here right now. -

ARB dual compressor mounting?
You can mount the single one behind the passenger headlight using a bracket made for the Prado. https://www.kaon.com.au/arb-rear-air-compressor-mounting-bracket-to-suit-p Haven't done it yet, but that's my plan.
