    My spark plugs... ever changed?

    i dont think i changed the plugs on my wifes liberty until close to 80k, original factory came out. put autolite platinum in, from recommendations here, seems to run great on them. my land rover runs 100x's better on copper plugs, its a 4.6. a high end plug doesnt necessarily mean your specific...

    Would you do it?

    nah, find one that is even trade. you have a newer with less miles, that should make up the difference between factory 2wd and 4wd.

    Defender Rack

    im a fan of the "integrated" look myself, when a rack looks like it belongs, if you know what I mean. TJKJ is more in line with that, this isnt... in my opinion.

    Trying to figure out best oil...

    here is my issue with this valvoline promotion. 3k oil changes with syn is a waste of money, you will likely have bought a new engine in the money you have wasted from 75k to 300k miles anyhow. secondly, it only covers oil wetted parts. I realize an engine is mostly oil wetted, however, if...

    400 dollar Brake Hose!! help rear caliper problem

    thats the banjo bolt and if you take it off your hose will weep brake fluid. I cant remember the size from when I replaced my caliper on the wheel. If you look back at my posts you will see I have something about thinking this was a recall/TSB item, but apparently it wasnt. I seem to remember...

    Rola Roof basket

    looks good, like that it sits lower. if you ever need or feel like putting flooring in, this is what I use on my rover. http://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplies/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10052&storeId=10001&langId=-1&division=FarmTek&productId=20251 you can see my rack without the flooring has...

    Intermittent juddering from rear, like we have a flat (but we don't) - any ideas?

    have you taken the wheels off and inspected brakes? shouldnt cause the wheels to lock but could be brake related, specially if you are smelling something burnt.

    KJ defeats LAND ROVER course

    I hear you, but its like any car owner who has a passion for a specific brand, they dont mind the little quirks because they really enjoy the vehicle/brand. the biggest issue with rovers is that when they are new they cater to a small crowd, those folks generally don't do work themselves and...

    KJ defeats LAND ROVER course

    reliability for most is actually decent, the problem is the folks who buy rovers new off the lot treat them as if they should never need any fluids changed, and actually listen to dealers and do 15k oil changes. but yes, they are prone in certain model years or certain pieces and parts, they...

    KJ defeats LAND ROVER course

    pissed because of liability reasons I am sure. the side tilt is pretty severe at some lr stealers. discos can park on that side tilt because it has a full steel frame surrounded by a full aluminum body, heavy ass. regarding do they make any good vehicles, no, they stopped doing that with the...

    Need help on cargo carrier.

    personally speaking the yakima stuff is great, good lines. You can fit a load warrior on it, mega warrior is too big and looks stupid, IMO. where are you located? I have a load warrior and all parts needed in my basement, great shape, just never have a use for it because of my larger rack...

    fire extinquisher

    anything that can fly around, roll around, etc. should be strapped well. not that you don't trust your own driving but protect yourself from the unknown. if you are wheeling that crap can go flying at any moment. likewise, someone hits you it could go flying. get the real stuff. same...

    Tools

    Yep lifetime warranty and the ratchet and sockets are fine. I used a friends kobalt tools this weekend, from lowes, they were fine. The old kobalt tools were made by snap on, not sure if they still are or not.

    jack stands vs ramps

    Something other than what most stores sell. Look for double locking. Personally I got 6 ton rated, overkill but piece of mind is worth it.

    compression test

    has anyone done a compression test on a newer liberty engine, and then also on an older engine? I have to find some issue with my other vehicle and figured I would compression and vacuum test the liberty while I am at it. I have no baseline to go off of though, so just curious. I know 10%...
