    LR4 19” tire options!

    I asked a similar question last year and got some great feedback on the thread I linked below. There are also a lot of other 19 inch tire threads here worth searching out. Have a look, you will find some helpful information in there. FYI - I ended up with the Nokian 255/55R19 WRG3 SUV...

    How To remove LR3/LR4 Plastic Caps securing Roof ditch molding

    In my case a trim tool wouldn’t work. I tried that as well. My truck had sat in Florida sun for 50,000 miles before I bought it and the caps were rock hard. Maybe you have a better trim tool. I bought whatever pep boys had on the rack which was a kit with a half dozen different sizes. If I...

    Items to check before 100K warranty expires?

    I went! I emailed Tyson’s and they said to bring it by this afternoon, that they just needed an hour to look it over. I didn’t ask any questions, just figured if they found something we’d deal with it and if they didn’t I’d get a charge for the visit. Which I’d have been fine with. Well, they...

    Items to check before 100K warranty expires?

    So I'm at 99,700 with a road trip coming up this week that'll send me over 100K quickly. I'm still laboring over the decision to maybe have a dealer look it over. As noted, my independent mechanic said all is good. The only thing I notice is my clock spring whine. My only reservation is that...

    Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY

    Good write-up, thanks. Wasn't sure that the H8 would fit, but it seems like it went in with no issues. If you don't reset the bar for the new type, what happens? Isn't it just happy to get ~12V or is it smart enough to know there are different discharge curves for different batteries and it...

    Cargo area mat recommendation ?

    Do you have link to one that is the right height for us? (and maybe even fits in one of the side storage cubbies). I have not had the pleasure of using our scissor jack yet.

    Cargo area mat recommendation ?

    It's odd... my LR3 mat (which I retained when I sold that truck) is soft, flexible and just as thick as the current version. Rolls up easily. The one that came with my LR4 is a heavy stiff marking mess. I don't know why they would have changed manufacturers and material. I have them both...

    Integrated Front Bar / Winch Mount

    Damn, I hadn't seen that one. That looks almost factory. Very clean installation.

    Integrated Front Bar / Winch Mount

    You mean like this ARB offerring? That's the one I have seen the most; More info HERE (and I'm sure others will chime in with better first-hand info)

    Where can I buy a key for LR4 OEM roof rack cross bars ?

    I think it is a Yakima key, actually, but perhaps it varies by year. In any case, you can buy either of them on Amazon for cheap. Just search for "Yakima key" and it'll ask you for the 4 digit code that is printed on the lock in the drop down menu.

    Fog Light Bulb...

    I asked this a couple years ago. There are similar replies and some links to bulbs you may find of interest; FOG LIGHT REPLACEMENT BULBS (I just re-read that old thread and realized you were on it @iconoclast! Seems like your memory is as good as mine. :D)

    CARMAX Warranty. I have had very good luck with it and they always authorized OEM parts for all repairs. One of the other main warranty companies only sends after market parts, which I have heard multiple service advisors complain about.

    Items to check before 100K warranty expires?

    Yeah, he checks to see there are no codes. I think the dealer computer picks up more things, though, and I need to go there if I wanted any firmware updates. Hopefully, those have already been checked on subsequent visits.

    Items to check before 100K warranty expires?

    Yeah, that's a problem also. I have used cable winches like these on other applications (boats) and they are prone to fail, usually due to the cable. The cable develops memory from being coiled under tension. So when you are letting it up or down with any slack the cable develops loops...

    Items to check before 100K warranty expires?

    Thanks for the tips, guys. I had my Independent Mechanic check all those things yesterday and he said my truck is tip-top! So I'm not expecting any major issues until 100,000.1 miles.

    The Quest for A Durable Front Crossover Pipe

    Just curious, where does the part fail? I have not seen one and wondered if it is a gasket issue or on the body of the part. See if they can 3D print a better water pump also. ;)

    Clockspring is one I hadn't heard about. I had to google to figure out what it was. I definitely hear mine when it is quiet and I am maneuvering at slow speeds. It isn't loud and I don't think it's an issue. I may ask about it though. FYI - Good description of it HERE if anyone else is...

    Items to check before 100K warranty expires?

    Great list, thanks. Open to any other ideas you can come up with. My cowling is ashy looking, but it is otherwise solid and stable. I wouldn't think it would be covered by a warranty, but I wish I'd replaced it at 53K when I had a new windshield put in.

    Items to check before 100K warranty expires?

    I have a few thousand miles left before my 100K extended warranty expires on my 2013 HSE LUX. It has been a great purchase and has definitely paid for itself with a few pricey repairs (gas fume smell resulting in tank drop to investigate, DMTL pump (twice), purge valve, water pump, control arms...

    Please identify these sounds! LR4 Vibration on Gas pedal and Front End Clicking

    Nice! Thanks for posting the update and glad it was all taken care of. Those extended warranties are great. I have about 3,300 miles left on mine and really hope the mechanics figure out any pending expensive repairs before it's gone!

    auto lock when key is away from the car

    The only time it does this is if you approach a locked LR4 with a key in your pocket and only open the rear hatch. Then it opens for you. Let's you do whatever you want. It then re-locks the car when you close the rear hatch. You'll see the lights flash. It of course does NOT do this if you...

    Definitive roof rack thread?

    That's great. Thanks for sharing this. I have the front runner load bar kit (3 bars) and really like it. I was sad to hear they stopped making it (story I heard is that people were overloading the bars, they were bending, so they just stopped making it instead of beefing up the crossbars.)...

    Sun Roofs on a 2014 LR4 opinion please

    I have never seen a non sunroof/moonroof LR3/LR4 in the U.S. I think its all they import. I have seen solid roofs in the UK and they look like nice options. Especially when many people are putting cargo racks on top anyway and it's nice to not have to worry about breaking the glass! (I broke...

    Improved Visibility...

    Ahhh, my 2013 has the old LR3 style head rests which sit on top of the seats and are great for blocking your rear vision. BUT, they do work well when you are in the seats. The ones pictured for the 2016 seems like they would be right in the center of your back? And I don't see how you'd fit a...

    Removed running boards

    You can also just put some low profile rock sliders on there. They'll cover everything and IMO look better than the running boards anyway.
