New here...been reading all I can consume for the past several weeks. I am reasonably sure I have the answers I am looking for but figured it can't hurt to ask a few questions. Yesterday I finally managed to find what I have been looking for...a 2013 LR4 with the HD package without a pile of miles on it and a verifiable service history.
I am buying this thing to off road it though it will be my daily. I am close to Moab and the trails of western Colorado and 8 trips (at least) a year are what we typically do. Top of the world, Poison Spider, fins, engineer pass, Imogene, black bear, etc. Coming off an armored 3rd gen 4runner with a 3" lift, rear locker and 33's that we built from the ground up. That will be my Son's ride now. I need more comfort (I'm old), power (3rd gen is a DOG) and a civilized ride over the highway.
I have no intention of putting it in places it has no business going but i do intend to use it to its abilities. For those of you who use these rigs in a similar fashion, tell me the best things you have done to yours to increase you off road enjoyment. Thinking rods, tires (alignment) and we'll fab up a set of sliders first, then skid plates and eventually bumpers.
Also interested in what trail spares are recommended since I have never dealt with air suspensions in the past. Looking forward to building this up and enjoying the ride. TIA
