    1st prolonged experience off road with my lr4

    Not saying that any of you should be satisfied with the 19" wheels, but this video might interest you. It's a 4x4 television program in South Africa where the host takes a stock LR4 over Baboon's Pass—supposedly the most difficult trail in S. Africa. The only other vehicles on the expedition...

    Changed Side Vents to Black

    I agree with this—everything in matte/satin black would look awesome!

    PlastiDipped Wheels!

    Wow! I would've never thought I would like black wheels. I ALWAYS prefer stock, but this looks incredible. I think it's the combination of the matte finish and stock design that I like.

    why and why not should I buy LR4

    I have to agree with you on that. I feel the interior is nice enough, but nowhere near where a $40,000+ vehicle needs to be. I will say, the fit is impeccable. Everything is very solid and well put together—no rattles or squeaks at all.

    why and why not should I buy LR4

    I'll throw in my two cents- After spending a few months trying to decide between a 2012 LR4 HSE and a 2012 4Runner Limited, I went with the 4Runner. I thought, for the money I was spending, the 4Runner was a much better value and the "smarter" purchase. After owning the T4R for six months...

    Personalized Tag

    This reminds me of the Seinfeld where Kramer and the proctologist's vanity plates got swapped at the DMV. Kramer was driving around with plates that said ASSMAN.

    leather cleaner

    I've heard awesome things about 303 Aerospace Protectant for plastic/vinyl/rubber, so I went to their website to do a little research. They actually recommend using Lexol on unfinished leather, which it appears the LR4's might have. Here are a few quotes from their FAQ page: With regards to...

    Land Rover Sucks!

    Funny -- I continue to see 10-15 year old Range Rovers and Discoverys all over the place. Pieces of junk... Most people who drive Land Rovers accept and understand the fact that their vehicles will have some annoying problems during their ownership. Annoying problems are a lot different...

    LR4 Ordering/Build/Delivery tracking process?

    ChicagoSammo, Thanks for the info. I never had a problem with the deposit -- perfectly acceptable on a $50,000-$65,000 vehicle. What I was a little surprised with was the lack of communication between Land Rover Corporate and my dealer. It was basically: tell us what you want, give us...

    LR4 Ordering/Build/Delivery tracking process?

    How often does LR put out "order calls?" I notified my dealer that I wanted to order a 2012 HSE two weeks ago, but the order still hasn't been placed. I get the feeling there's not much rhyme or reason as to when this occurs. Is it all based on production and inventory levels? I've also been...
