    Is the LR4 good for daily highway travel?

    LR3/4 is an excellent highway/freeway cruiser. I love the long drives and have been doing it for 28 some years with various cars/SUVs. But My 2006 LR3 HSE, then 2013 V8, and now 2016.5 SCV6 Landmark have by far been the most pleasurable, solid, safe, and stable vehicles out of everything that...

    Is the LR4 good for daily highway travel?

    Well said. All the key reason I have stuck to LR3/4 over the last twelve years.

    LR4 Navigation Update...

    From 2006 to up until now, in my 12 years of experience in dealing with the Land Rover dealerships, in supposedly major markets, in various states, and cities, and now charging up to about a $198/hour, they have just absolutely no idea and zero clue about most and many, many things, simple or...

    For those of you thinking about the upcoming winter...

    Totally agree. For my MY16, the handbook dictates 98 lb.ft. Experienced local tire shop wants to torque to 105 lb.ft to make up for the extension lever (or whatever its called). The dealership wants to do 110 lb.ft. Asked the dealership shop foreman as to why 110 lb.ft vs handbook' 98...

    Tire Pressure?

    Interesting, I never knew that. I thought the tongue weight was coming out of the towing capacity weight. But to think of it, it does make sense as this 550 Lb of weight is really being inserted vertically on the truck (rear most edge) as apposed to being pulled by the truck' frame like the...

    Tire Pressure?

    Interesting cuz I was thinking of Light/Normal load to be just the driver and a full tank of gas, and the Full/High load to be the maximum payload whatever it is for each model year, for my '16 its about 1488 Lb. And LR usually assumes the driver' weight to be 165 Lb (per their LR4 brochures)...

    Tire Pressure?

    I dont think that they are referring to drivetrain damage either. I totally understand why the TPMS would need to be reset, and they are wise to mention that. It sure does need to be reset if you set your rears PSI levels to 39 or 40 PSI vs the 43 PSI listed on the label. What I am saying...

    Hydraulic Jack Suggestions

    Yeah the cost is a bit much for this puppy. Therefor, first thing I asked them when I called them was if I could use their extension module with another jack (Arcan aluminum, etc) as the saddle/lift plate on the Arcan seems the same as ProEagle. The guy said that it could work but I'd have to...

    Tire Pressure?

    Sure. But I was more curious about the size of the contact patch than the circumference. I have aired my rears down to 41.5, but judging by the fine dust in my parking area picked up by the tread, there is still quite a bit of difference between the fronts and the rear. The dust hasn't fully...

    Tire Pressure?

    Curious what year is yours?

    Hydraulic Jack Suggestions

    Valid point. I am mostly interested though in tire rotation work. FYI the pic I posted above is shown with the 5-8" extension attached. The jack itself with normal saddle is like any other floor jack, except the wheels adding to the overall minimum height as you pointed out. But after...

    Hydraulic Jack Suggestions

    Shouldn't LR be shipping with their offroad worthy models at least a little beefier scissors jack than that flimsy thing that they provided us with with a near 3 ton LR4, maybe something like this:

    As I was searching for extensions for Arcan, I came across this thing: https://www.proeagle.com/collections/all/products/3-ton-big-wheel-jack-kratos Man this thing is nice and designed for off road use as well, check out the features, including: "A full length steel skid plate to prevent...

    Hydraulic Jack Suggestions

    Yeah I was worried about its max height. My main reason to get Arcan is due to its light weight and portability. I do not have a large garage space, so currently have no choice but to carry it back into my apartment, etc. I will be doing five wheel rotation so will be lifting one wheel at a...

    Hydraulic Jack Suggestions

    I was going to ask here which hand/manual torque wrench to get for rotating tires. I was looking for something accurate with cost within reason. Saw some digital readout ones while searching. But I did not know that the torque wrenches require periodic calibration. What are the...

    Tire Pressure?

    So as far as engineering and optimum driving comfort and safety, how does then LR get away with the difference in the front to rear contact patches size due to the full load spec PSI on the rears but with normal load inside the truck, hence causing varying traction levels between front and rear...

    Ha. Yeah I vaguely remember the Firestone issue on the media etc.

    Tire Pressure?

    Here are my thoughts about the "factory" recommended PSI levels. I understand that the factory numbers are very important and that the truck has been tested with these numbers by the engineers for the optimum balance between the ride quality, gas milage and safety, etc. But I also know that...

    Tire Pressure?

    Pavement: 37 to 37.5 front, 40 to 43.5 rears (cold, usually in the morning with whatever ambient temps). (ask me why 0.5 increments if curious) I could be wrong but I believe by "Cold" the manufactures actually mean the non-driven air temperatures inside the tires and not necessarily the...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Ha. I have never really detailed the undercarriage at all, and have almost put on 10k miles. I think its clean because I have not had the opportunity to take it offroading yet, or at least my version of offroading. I am gettin ready to though, bit by bit, accessory by accessory :) Or it...
