Rear Brake Hose bulge
I had a similar thing on my '05. My mechanic urged me to change the hoses immediately and didn't even want me to drive while waiting for the part. Those hoses could last like that for months or they could burst the next time you apply the brakes... leaving you with no brakes. I'm no... -
My '13 let's me start without the key fob and drive far away...
...this is a problem. Is this by design? So, here is the scenario. I keep my keys hanging in the garage, because, well, you can't leave them in the car. I haven't figured out if this is after I've recently unlocked the car with the key FOB button or not, (I think so) but today I loaded some... -
How is your new D5?
Congrats on the new ride! Thanks for sharing the initial feedback. Let us know how it handles the upcoming trailer trip and how the family likes it as you go. The main draw for the D5, for me, was the updated electronics. I found that even when I drove a Discovery Sport loaner last month I...- toddjb122

This LR4 Drives Great in the SAND!
:laugh: No, it's the darn dog in the back! If we weren't bringing her, all that stuff on the tray would easily fit in the back. Toys up top. Done! Now we do put electronics in the back with the dog...I don't trust the tray thaaaaaat much. ;) I suppose I could get one of those gates in... -
the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
Thanks, Brian. That's a nice looking tire and the beefiest I have seen in person on our 19" wheels. Even in your picture the sidewall seems too big for the tire size. I'll have to consider those when I'm up for new rubber. If there is really a 1.5mpg hit on the highway, though, I may stick... -
the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
@nymoto , can you post which GY tires you have and maybe a picture of your wheels? I really liked the look of yours and when I searched online I couldn't find any pictures of them in our size. Wasn't sure if this was the model already being discussed earlier in this thread. Thanks! -
This LR4 Drives Great in the SAND!
Chris, welcome! I'm also in the DC area. If you need a good LR mechanic, I know two great ones on the northwest side of the beltway. I just posted THIS thread on a rack that works well for me. When I travel to the beach I usually have a family of 4 and a dog... the dog means I can't pile... -
This LR4 Drives Great in the SAND!
That's interesting. The tires that came with my used 2013 don't have a lot of tread, and I was surprised how nicely they worked in the sand. Guess I hadn't through of the need to float vs. grip... -
Lightning Adapter for my iPhone 7 to play Spotify
Yes, that's where. You can mount the Bluetooth adapter that I mentioned low near the center console. That' let's you hit the button if needed (you don't) or look at the LED to see when it is paired. Then run the cord around and into the AUX input behind the center console. That also let's... -
LR5 Release Updates?
Thanks for sharing that table. Interesting orders. I guess not surprising though. I don't think LR will ever sell anything in the states for less that $50K. (I'm not including the LR2 in "everything", because... please.) :laugh: Seems all they import to the States are the luxury versions of...- toddjb122

How is your new D5?
So, is anyone on the forum driving one of these new rides yet? Seems strangely quiet.- toddjb122

REVIEW; Front Runner 3 Bar Roof Rack (Load Bar Kit)
One last rack pic from this past weekend. Found I could easily put two kayaks flat on the bars! (Also allows me to then pile more boats on top if needed). With the factory cross bars, I was only able to get one flat, then I'd have to lean the 2nd boat against it, securing it while stopping it... -
REVIEW; Front Runner 3 Bar Roof Rack (Load Bar Kit)
@mbw , did you notice that I finally got those sliders installed? The factory boards were nicer to stand on, but I like the look of these much better and they still allow easy roof access and protection. When I had this in the shop for the gas tank issue, the mechanics were impressed with the... -
REVIEW; Front Runner 3 Bar Roof Rack (Load Bar Kit)
I've been meaning to post this for a while because this rack solution was very hard to find and other owners may be looking for something similar. I was looking for an LR3/LR4 rack with the front bar as far forward as possible and the rear bar as far back as possible. I wanted something that... -
Lightning Adapter for my iPhone 7 to play Spotify
Ahh, good to know. Assuming the 2011 has an AUX input, I'd recommend this thing; DBPOWER Bluetooth Car Kit I used one in my LR3 for the past year and it was simple and it worked fine. I didn't use it for the speakerphone access or any of the control (I actually had the button down low by the... -
Lightning Adapter for my iPhone 7 to play Spotify
I don't use the USB connection in my 2013. It doesn't charge anyway so it's a pain in the butt. Assuming the Bluetooth connectivity works, just connect to your phone that way and everything should be fine. I'm not sure if that answers your question, as I was not clear what convertor you were... -
11 LR 4 - left sunroof open
:D That's funny. You must be like... "Again? Damn it." Glad to hear the original poster resolved things. Be a shame to have to debug electronic issues in the center console like that. I wonder what Jeeps do these days? I'm guessing it is all pretty well water proofed for them. Used to be... -
This LR4 Drives Great in the SAND!
Adrien! Hey, nice to meet you as well. Cool that you're on the forum. Nice looking truck. I'll hit you up for more tire info some time as those looked nice. I didn't notice any sand issues with the ones on my vehicle (much less defined tread) but I like the look of yours better and I'm sure... -
I decided to keep my LR4 after all.
Nice post, glad to hear you stayed! As you may have seen from my earlier posts, I had a similar experience. I have been long waiting for the "LR5" to come out. For reasons I don't recall any more, I was never motivated to jump to the LR4 from the LR3. I think it just seemed like the same... -
This LR4 Drives Great in the SAND!
Maybe it's just the new truck stoke (I've been on an LR3 since 2005) but man does this truck drive great in the sand! This was my second trip down to Cape Hatteras, NC with several trips out in deep soft sand. I drop the tires to 20 PSI, keep them there for the length of my stay, and it... -

Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)
No idea if the heated windshield works and haven't found a way to test it. Guess I have to wait until winter and then call in a warrant repair if it doesn't work. (which would be a drag as I now have offroad permit stickers affixed to the windshield. USB was solved with one of those compact... -
Another LR4 Tire Post
I saw a guy on the beach last week with Wrangler DuraTrac - Size: 255/55R19. I asked him if he had a lift kit, but then I looked at the sidewall and realized they were stock. They're the most aggressive tire I've seen in this size. Has anyone used them? (Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac) Anyway... -
Nifty use for plastidip - pre trail run
That's awesome! I would actually really like to do this to my fenders. The painted parts will just attract scratches. However, I wasn't sure if the plastidip really peels off that easy or if I'd be picking remnants out of the edges for weeks. I did inquire about putting clear paint... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Appreciate the feedback. The annoying thing was, the two independent shops I went to who are both excellent, punted on this one. If there were no error codes and no visible drips, they didn't want anything to do with it. Yet, the dealer claimed there was obviously a problem (the smell), no...
