I wonder just how hard it is to do this...
I do have a lift after all. I don't need to do it, but perhaps if I ever had to... |

Well, as Clarkson famously mocked, the LR4 (& LR3) have a unibody on top of a frame, so two frames in one.
...which explains why it weighs 3 tons. |

I just ran into the photo from a guy in South Africa that was having his engine worked on and it made me wonder if years down the road I have involved work, if it is easier pull off the body and to do that than to work through the hood. It can't be THAT hard, but it may be hard enough to not consider. |
