    Under Hood Insulation

    I know on some cars the under hood insulation and engine cover actually protect the hood from overheating. Is that the case with our LR4s? I've got a family of mice that have moved in to the under hood insulation and I would like to not only evict them, but raze their home.* *There's a...

    Shipping for Vacation

    Any of you ever ship a vehicle to a destination for vacation? We're going to Yellowstone in September and with my wife's work schedule time off is limited so adding several days on the front and back end to drive from the east coast isn't in the cards. There's a possibility I make the drive...

    Phone Mount

    For one of my other vehicles I found a company that made a slick mount that used a T20 screw hidden behind a bezel. A couple days ago I grabbed a plastic pry bar to pop the hand rest trim off so I could start thinking. I bent up some paper board to model it. Traced that onto a piece of 22ga...

    Dipstick

    As we are all aware some dipstick decided these things don't need a dipstick. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to turning the truck on to check the oil. My reflex is to always have my foot on the brake and that starts it. While I had the motor out I messed around a little trying to fab up a...

    Bullet Proof Control Arm Bushings

    Going to admit that I was a little slow digesting why someone would need a bushing that can withstand a direct hit from a rifle round.

    So at just under 104k miles I've had a rod bearing stop doing it's job. Admittedly the vehicles been driven less than 10 miles in this condition. I've only had it for 18 months and less than 10k miles. Two oil changes have been done in that time, last one 1,200 miles ago. With the obvious...

    Noise? Rod Knock

    Running some errands around town and thought I heard a little ticking noise. Played around with throttle position to see if I could make it happen. Goes away while coasting. Pulled into a parking lot about 4 miles from my house and it sounded like belt squeal as I was turning. Sounds real...

    8-Speed Transmission Pan

    I was getting some hard shifting while the transmission was cold and being at a little over 100k miles I figured it was time to drain it, drop the pan and put a new one in. Ordered the kit from Atlantic it went pretty well, putting my experience here to maybe help others. Transmission cross...

    Terrafirma Accessories

    Thought I'd post something that might be of use to other members instead of my usual, "please help me". Put the the terrafirma roof rack, ladder, and tire carrier on my truck last fall. A few tips and tricks for anyone else out there. The roof rack comes with stainless hex drive bolts. Toss...

    U3000-63 & "Park Aid Unavailable"

    Installed the terra firma rear tire carrier on my '15 LR4 last fall and it would intermittently trigger the inner passenger side back up sensor. Fast forward to winter and I get "Park Aid Unavailable" with a very annoying beep at start-up. I just pulled the tire carrier and bumper off. I...

    New Tools

    Bought these because my project car is a pain to lift with a floor jack. Figures their first use is for maintenance and repairs on the lr4. (Oil change, vacuum pump, and transmission pan) Took a bit to set up and level the driver's side.

    Solenoid Leak

    While looking for a good recovery point* on the front of my '15 LR4 (SCV6) I noticed a bunch of oil on various lines under there. Traced it up to what looks like some type of solenoid that is next to the crank pulley. What is this? Assume it needs a new o-ring and that I'm not going to be the...
