Adding Upgrades to My 2012 LR4 -

[txfromwi]

I would like to know how to add blind spot monitoring to vehicles not factory equipped.
I know that we can purchase the mirrors and the actual sensors, but how to actually make it work - software??

For any and all 2013, 2015,2016.

You're better off looking on disco3.co.uk - I think its been done a few times.

There have been a few guys that have retrofitted adaptive cruise control, but thats only doable on a 2014+ with the wiring harness. 2013s and older don't have it.

No idea if the blind spot monitoring is the same way.

Want to say thank you to everyone that participated in my poll. Much appreciated. The top three upgrades as you all suggested were:
1) Under Armor Protection
2) Roof Rack
3) Rear Bumper w/ Tire Carrier
3) Second Battery

Looks like I have my work cutout on deciphering all the choices available for under armor protection. I do agree with this selection, especially with the itch to run the Rubicon Trail.

The roof rack was actual my first choice, but the under body protection is the smarter play. For the roof rack I am going to go with a Prospeed setup.

Lastly, the rear bumper and second battery. I definitely agree with both of these choices. I have bottomed out the rear bumper on more than one occasion. I am mildly surprised that I haven't the whole thing off already. I am mostly committed to getting the Tactical 4x4 bumper setup, but I'm not 100% sold the the tire carrier fastener. And as for the second battery, I was wanting the get that done as an insurance policy for when I use the winch.

But first things first, air suspension rebuild. New compressor and front air struts. Yeah, that's definitely taking a bite out of the budget!

Thank again everyone. Cheers!

UPDATE —
I stuck with Tactical 4x4 for my under armor protection and the rear bumper.

ARMOR
Adding to the T4x4 rock sliders that were already installed, I have now added skid plates for the fuel tank and the transfer case. I think that should take care of the undercarriage armor.

REAR BUMPER
To complement the T4x4 from bumper, the rear bumper is an excellent match. I got all the bells and whistles - - spare tire carrier, Jerry can holder for two 20L cans, and parking sensors. The whole unit is ROCK SOLID.

What wheels are those?

The factory plate that supports the fuel tank is a joke. Softest steel I've ever seen, pretty sure it is made from recycled food ration cans.
