You're both wrong. It had to be the air suspension. Most likely an air strut exploded and took out that bracket. It just used the rock as a disguise.

Front Runner gives you an adapter for the tire winch nut and an extension T handle to be able to turn the winch nut adapter by extending the left (US driver's side) drawer and taking out a plastic flush mounted cap in the deck. Then you can insert the extended T handle through the hole, spin...

I have a set of Front Runner drawers and a Frontrunner fridge slide that I have used in my Land Rover LR4 for a few years now. They are awesome and extremely sturdy. I added dividers to the drawers to help keep things better organized. The only reason I am selling is because my family is...

I recall reading estimated consumption in an Australian review for the petrol/gas engine and it was about as abysmal as you'd expect for such a vehicle. They said it was rated 15-18 mpg in US units. Given the new Defender with a turbo 4 cylinder is only rated 17-20 mpg, I would expect that the...

I suspect that a significant factor with deciding on 31.5" tires stock is fuel economy requirements and safety standards. This is a vehicle that is ~5,700 lbs with the aerodynamics of a refrigerator and a 90l or 23.8 gallon fuel tank. Range is important, and if they threw 35s on it from the...

As are modern aircraft, but you'd never see me wanting to get into a Sopwith Camel or Piper Cub over a modern Boeing or Airbus just because the Camel and Cub are "simple" and therefore more "reliable." The reality is that modern vehicles, whether aircraft or 4 wheels typically on terrafirma are...

I really enjoy following this build and I like the simple tire carrier. I gave up on making my parking sensors work with a swing out on my 2012 LR4 and just disabled them with the GAP IID tool. I'll be doubly impressed if you manage to get yours to work and not freak out "seeing" the tire all...

SOLD

You must work in engineering/construction also! I once got grief for driving my wife's diesel Mercedes to a meeting. We bought it used for $20k and it was the cheapest vehicle there by far, but it had a three pointed start on it instead of a Ram, Blue Oval, or bow tie. I totally understand...

I let this fall down in the queue since I took the tent on another trip this winter while I still could. Bringing back to the top now that there's some nice days in the desert to see if anyone's got spring fever.

I had that noise on a Jeep a long time ago. The diaphragm in the booster gets a pinhole in it and creates the noise. The amount of vacuum that can be pulled through such a pinhole is small, but the noise is not. Your brakes will probably work well for a while, but I'd go ahead and replace it...

I did it with an LR4 and usually the LR3 is pretty similar. I second calling Frontrunner as they have very good customer service. I did not have to drill any holes in the roof. The side rails mount under the existing moldings. What the directions will not say is that you need to soak those...

I'm not the one you have to convince about needing more than 1 Land Rover. The 51% shareholder is another matter entirely. While the Defender platform has great appeal due to the availability of the Australian Land Rover bull bar to fend off the suicidal Wyoming deer and Utah moose, the Disco...

That's good to know. Thanks Diesel Ranger and Ke2427. I'm not in a rush to replace my LR4, but considering I can use the tires I want in either 265/65R18 or 265/70R18 without a swing out, makes for a compelling option for the phase of life where I need something with 3 usable rows and I'm not...

Are you able to fit a 265/70R18 in the stock spare tire location?

I bought this tent back in Spring 2021. It is super comfortable, incredibly well made, and does not need condensation mats for cold weather and I've definitely tested that in single digit conditions. I probably had the best night of sleep ever camping in this tent in the desert, but I found...

Well, the Grenadier was supposed to be the "spiritual successor" to the Defender, and then they sourced their engine from BMW as well, so they are following the Land Rover ethos. Make a fantastic off road vehicle, install a garbage engine designed by someone else, and meet the consequences...

A couple outings through the varied landscapes of northern Utah:

If money were no object (which it certainly is for me anyway) I'd order the 7 seater tomorrow. Excellent maneuverability for a big vehicle combined with off-road ability, which I'd actually use, and exceptional comfort for hauling around the family. Something to aspire to I guess...

A Land Cruiser in a cloud of steam unable to keep up with a Land Rover product? It's a good thing this isn't in the cult of Toyota section. You'd be hanged for heresy. Don't you know that a Land Cruiser is completely and utterly indestructible even without ever performing any maintenance...
