I actually hawked the Jag forums for nearly a year before installing mine. Those guys have been modding these since that engine came out and have it dialed in. Glad they did the trial and error hahaha
As it stands the V8 is fine, I think it's great and if I were to just want a stock LR4 that's what I'd get... However, I much prefer the tuned SCV6 over the NA V8. I feel the additional HP & TQ make it much more responsive in low gear and an overall better performer off-road. That's just based...
I have the velocity AP pulleys & tune for my SCV6 that's rated at 475hp/470tq and I love it. It thrives off-road in low gear going up inclines... Especially with all the weight I have on it. Gas hog though.
Shredded my front upper bushings and beat the crap out of the actual arm at an off-road event and looking to replace. Do not want polys, looking for something comparable to the Meyle HD lowers. It's primarily for heavy off-road use. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
@avslash @Edgyver - y'all notice the rear RCV axles shred the lower boot of the bags from rubbing? Not a big deal but the price you pay for getting the HDs.
@avslash Has it rained lately? I've seen this before in a few other Land Rovers (including my full size RR) when there's a leak and water is causing a temporary short due to it sloshing around underneath before it's noticable. Check under your carpet, could be the infancy of a busted sunroof...
GWAGs are amazing and I would have gotten one over the Defender V8 we have but the Mrs does not like them. You just need to drive one to understand. Of course that's my opinion
The carrier became a necessity once I went to 285/70/18s...I don't like weight on the roof with the trails I go on and I got fed up with it in the back of the vehicle
Well, mine was a necessity after ripping my bumper off within a narrow pass on a rocky trail. More than anything it adds confidence when I go off-road. I have scratches/dings on the underside of the bumper that remind me of it's value.
Before jumping on a rear tire carrier... Consider getting a steel rear bumper from T44 and get it as an add on. If you go with terrafirma or another brand then decide to get a rear bumper down the line, you'll have to fabricate a special bracket to get it to work. Just a thought.
I second this. Nothing like sleeping in the back on an exped with my window vents in and small electric fan cranking. I have the xlifter now so it makes it so much easier to hit the "self level" function instead of fiddling with my gap tool. Vehicle camping at it's best!
