    My new LR4, some vacation Photos, and a Thank You!

    That'd be nice. I don't think they'd tell me that, but I'll ask. When I asked the salesman (the only weak link in my buying experience) he just said they are used to working on all the luxury brands.

    My new LR4, some vacation Photos, and a Thank You!

    Thanks. That's the outer banks of North Carolina. Some good friends hanging out at the tailgate after a day on the water.

    My new LR4, some vacation Photos, and a Thank You!

    Well, as many of you who helped me through the buying process know, I picked up a 2013 LR4 recently. I want to thank everyone sincerely for the help over the past month! I finally realized, after years of waiting for the "LR5" to come out, that the LR4 was the better call. I love my 2005 LR3...

    :-( broke my rear windshield :-(

    Call your insurance even if you do the repair out of pocket to get it done soon. I suspect safelite will tell you that, though. They work with most companies. I had to repair a big piece recently and learned that all glass is considered no-fault, even if you do something stupid. Covered...

    To buy an extended warranty on new to me Used LR4

    I just bought an LR4 with similar mileage. The CarMax extended warranty to 100K, with $150 deductible, was around $4500. I got a similar price in two different states. I'm not sure what that would run in CA. Do you have a LR shop around you that you can call? Ask the mechanic which ones he's...

    Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?

    I found a local wheel repair specialist that also paints rims and parts. They took off the wheels, removed the tires, and powder coated everything and gave it a matte finish. There were lots of color options but I went with "Charcoal Bronze" which was a dark gray and possibly a tint of bronze...

    LR4 Ballistic Protection Option

    Wow, thanks again! :shakehand You don't know how many web searches and trips to the LR website could not lead to this site. LR shows you the current year or two online, then directs you to Topix. Now I just need to find someone who can install that escape hatch sliding door and remote...

    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    Thanks! That's a great link. I'll have to print out the entire thing to have on hand. I learned that if my LR4 has a Nav hard drive then I have a virtual 10 disc CD changer, which is kind of cool. (yeah, I know...it's all on our phones these days anyway)

    LR4 Ballistic Protection Option

    Well this one caught me by surprise... ...I was on TOPIX looking up the manual for my 2013 and there is a document called "Owner’s Handbook Supplement - ballistic protected upgrades" In it are details on option packages I didn't know we had available; Ballistic Door protection Fire...

    Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?

    Thanks for the prod. I did find these two links with pictures. Seems like a PITA, but can be done. Wasn't sure if my model year (2013) when they were put on as "options" was much different than when they became "standard equipment". I think someone commented that they just beefed up the...

    Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?

    I'm just kidding of course. Your truck looks awesome even without them. Love those wheels. So, hmmm... maybe I'll pull them off before the beach trip. If I remove factory installed running boards, what's it going to look like underneath? Am I missing trim that is supposed to be there or...

    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    So, I did the research today. When I had looked up the VIN on TOPIX it listed "HEATED FRONT WINDSCREEN, HEATED WASHER JETS-W'SHIELD, etc." Armed with that, I went back to the window sticker... not listed. Went back to the online listing... not there either. So, my only leg would be this is...

    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    Mine has the landrover logo in the corner, I just can't see the wires. I'll take a closer look, but I suspect the previous Florida owner (could have been a dealership) just put a stock one on after a road chip. Yeah, I'm pissed. I kind of shot myself in the foot here because I've already...

    Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?

    My new set hasn't arrived yet (I should have bought yours, they'd be on my truck by now. ;) ) so I'm still rocking the OEM running boards which I'm not a fan of. I was thinking of just taking them off before heading to the beach this weekend. I also don't want the running boards on for soft...

    Micro-Start XP-10 jump starter - Tested, it works great

    You should update your YouTube video with some comments to this effect. I just saw this thread pop up, started at the beginning, watched the video, and was on my way to Amazon to buy it! ...when I decided to check the end of this thread first. :) It's clearly a product that is capable of...

    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    Either port (USB or iPad) that's under the lid? Odd, while my phone shows it's charging...it doesn't actually charge. The USB next to the rear AUX works fine, though. I wonder if there is a fuse blown somewhere in mine. That's a good idea from you guys about leaving a memory stick of MP3s...

    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    kerrrrraaaaap. I was thinking that since the light still goes on, maybe I was mistaken and they made the lines harder to see. I'll have to see if this was on the CarMax sticker or not. If so, I may be able to put in the one I paid for. That heated windshield is a nice feature (that...

    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    Two easy ones on my new used 2013 LR4... WINDSHIELD The car VIN says it has the heated front windshield. It has the little front windshield button with the electric bolt going through it. I push that button it lights up. When I look at the windshield I can't see the fine zig zag wire lines...

    Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)

    Thanks. I ended up getting the smallest bit remover I could find (I think that's the broken screw curvy removal thing you're talking about). It didn't work. It did succeed in breaking the bits up more and I can get the rack bolt in just enough that I think it will work (with the extra space...

    Real world MPG on the LR4

    Okay...I think things are correcting. Maybe this was off due to whatever fuel or driving had been going on while Carmax had the vehicle. I had a 1/2 tank left of whatever the dealership had in there, filled it with Super and went for a 2 hour drive on the highway; 1/2 traffic, 1/2 fast, some...

    Real world MPG on the LR4

    How do you reset the average MPG calculation on the LR4? On the LR3, it was reset every time you cleared the trip. At least on my '05. When I look at what I'm getting on the instant MPG, it certainly seems like I should be well up in the teens on average. High teens even. But I can't get...

    Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)

    Wow, these are a major pain in my backside. I got one out using advice on the web which give tips on the screw driver or leverage method (with trim tools). It doesn't really work. I broke two off which are giving me heck right now trying to get the remnants out... and then I remembered your...

    Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)

    I have to take all 4 of them out (4 on each side). I tried the front one and the far back one... those things are in tight and I'm afraid of breaking them off in there or forcing too much and putting a screwdriver into my hand or the paint. There has to be something I'm missing. I'll keep at...

    Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)

    Holy crap... how do you remove those damn plugs on the trim roof piece? (where the side rails go) Instructions say insert a screwdriver, but that isn't going anywhere. I found one youtube video, where a guy had two nice nylon trim tools to get under and lift it. I don't have those. Maybe...

    Sorry, that last reply is corrupt and the forum won't let me fix it.
