You may want to consider steel if you are going to replace the glass and weld in panels. The body is steel, so I doubt you want to mix with aluminum.
Interesting idea though.
I ordered a new latch. I think I have my bearings set in just the right spot that when I have the two jerry cans even half full, the weight of them keeps them 'sticky' on the little pad thing so I don't have to hold onto them. But also not set so low that I have to lift them up when closing...
The LRP kit is pretty nice. Comes with everything you need, the bracket and wire with the connector. I am able to use the lever even with the front runner drawers in place. Just enough room between the face of the drawers and the latch to pull it.
very nice. I must have an even older version because my latch isn't even that nice. It has a little u shaped pin to keep it secure. I wonder If i could upgrade that. My struts don't seem overkill, i don't know what rating they are, but off road on camber I am glad they are strong.
I just run the wire down the A pillar trim into the cowl and into the aux battery box where I have the charge controller next to the battery. I didn't take the trim off, just snaked it through (you can take the bulky plastic connector off). I used a little 3M VHB tape up at the top to keep the...
I just got some of the Meyle HD arms. They look really nice. I am hoping the solid, but rubber, bushes will be comfy but more sturdy. Otherwise my plan would just be OEM. I got nearly 80k miles out of my original set even though it is used off road. I think the only reason they have lasted...
Lucky 8 does have HD axels/cv shafts. But I don't know how they compare exactly to the stock ones. Anytime I email them for technical or detail questions I get one sentence basic responses. If I could get Atlantic British answers we might know more.
You have seen this 3 times? I haven't heard of this before at all and I can't really find any reference of this happening anywhere online. (not that this means much, i know people don't go posting every time a failure happens). Do you think it is worth the unsprung weight adding brackets...
Keep in mind that ARB doesn't know what their own bullbars fit on. I put the ARB Summit on my 2013 LR4 with zero issues and they say it only works for the facelifted 2014+ LR4. I'd guess it would work on an LR3 also since I don't think the mount points changed. I may as well post some images...
Seems like it is similar to the 23 Zero, but a few things I noticed (I have the 23 Zero 270). The hinges look different. 23 Zero has steel parts that hook into the aluminum load bars with a steel pin. The nomadic looks to be aluminum welded to aluminum load bars (the bars look very similar)...
Ya, I ended up with the 23 Zero, but only because of the 5 arm design vs 6 arm... because of my rear upper tailgate interference with the arms. My tailgate ladder still pushes the one arm up a little with the 23 zero. More coverage in the rear would be nice, but I think it still gives enough...
I have to crank the arm on the back up a bit to make the ladder clear, but it does. I don't have to push too hard on the arm. Kinda worries me anyway. It seems really strong but it has some flex to it. I moved the whole thing forward a little to make it better, but I don't want to go too...
I just installed a 23 Zero 270 on my LR4. The rear bar that should be parallel with the back of the vehicle isn't quite parallel, and it does hit my ladder a little. Raises the bar up about an inch. I have it mounted as high up as I can with the brackets that came with it. My tailgate opens...
I have been on the hunt for a 270 degree awning for a long time. I appreciate all the info and pictures in this thread. I think one of the big topics for awnings that I haven't seen discussed here is the rear upper tailgate and clearance for them. 4 runners, Land Rover LR3/LR4 and many other...
I was told by Lucky8 that the AMK compressors are not rebuildable. Which sucks. I just bought a new rear valve block due to even rear sag (75k miles). It had a ton of dirt in it. I was really have a tough time trying to put the two parts together that rotate with new orings. The o-ring kit...
