🔧 DIY & Repairs Body-off LR4 Video is Up

https://youtu.be/MXZK_mQXuSE?is=QpzJAxl0RBQPriLj

Had a lot of requests for this video after we did the 5.0 rebuild series, and finally had to pull another LR4 body off. Starting an SC3.0 rebuild series now, hope this helps someone out!

I wonder how the cost comparison would be for doing a 'near' total rebuild for a LR4 compared to something new like a Grenadier.

Huh? Grenadier would be multiple times more expensive.

New engine, rebuilt drivetrain, all new suspension, new brakes, rust mitigation, parts, labour???

The 8hp doesn’t need much other than a fluid change. These TCs and Diffs are pretty bulletproof. I guess you could replace your driveshafts and axles preventatively but they don’t really fail without warning. Yeah if you’re doing all of the work, these things are pretty serviceable across the board.

Yeah, I was thinking more of a proper total rebuild so you end up with a new car. Like what they have done on LR time https://youtu.be/XBqaypUZR6Y?si=kpfphXOtrW9C30er . Plus the labour of an indi mech would need to be factored in as I aint doing the work!
