LR4 Pre-purchase tips?
For me it's usually screaming kids and then me screaming back at them. It covers most noise variations. ;) -
LR4 Pre-purchase tips?
Got it. So you are saying you usually have time to see the leak before it goes on you. They do seem to go, though. Doesn't sound like manufacturing defects, sounds like a design flaw. May yours last you the duration, though! -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
QUESTION - does anyone know if I can by third party cross bars (Thule, Yakima, Rhino...) that attach to the OEM siderails and are not limited to the 5 fixed pre-sets that the LR crossbars need to sit in? I was thinking... keep it simple maybe I just buy the OEM extended side rails, but use... -
LR4 Pre-purchase tips?
It's funny... I have kept my mechanic updated and he's also raised concerns with the water pump. According to him, if I buy the LR4 he'd like to set a reminder to just replace that water pump every 80,000 miles. They have such a bad reliability record and when they fail, it's catastrophic... -
19inch Tire Question on Used LR4 Purchase / LR3 Swap
Thanks. I appreciate the guidance to keep it simple and just stick with the Nittos. I was looking forward to some sand fun on the Nokians. Oh well. Next set, maybe. I have the '05 which didn't have the TPMS sensors, which I'm happy with. :) Soooooo... you raise a good point. If I pull... -
Replacement Side Air Vents
You can get them from Lucky 8, I believe. I know for a fact they sell the black ones (OEM) so I'm sure they could get the silver ones. Give them a call. They weren't listed on their website but I noticed the phone number on the ebay listing was the same as their, so you might as well buy it... -
LR4 Pre-purchase tips?
So, my used 2013 LUX made it up from Florida and I test drove it today. Seems solid. There are some paint scuffs CarMax is going to take care of. Then I buy it and have 5 days to have my mechanic look it over. So I trust him for all the engine, drivetrain, suspension, stuff. He's good. The... -
19inch Tire Question on Used LR4 Purchase / LR3 Swap
Nitto Crosstek's vs. Nokian WR G3 tires. That's really the question... Getting a used 2013 LR4. "Giving" Carmax my LR3 with 223K on it for next to nothing, but I can take off whatever I want. Both have 255/55R19s on them. So, by bad planning on my part, I put a set of Nokian WR G3s on my... -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
...that thing looks great! How is the wind noise with everything you have on it? I don't need all of your accessories, but I like the light setup you have. That LED bar under the wind faring is completely unobtrusive until you turn it on. Awesome. I'm sure this has been answered somewhere... -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
...I did NOT note that! Most of the expedition style racks go right to the mounting threads. Good to know. I found another one that I like functionally (because it has a bar in the far back and far front) but I can't get better pictures of it yet to tell if it is ugly or not. Again, as my... -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
Man you are a wealth of information! For some reason I have problems browsing their site, but was able to get hold of a sales associate. Might get it through them. Does anyone here have a ProSpeed rack who can answer some questions? -
LR5 Release Updates?
I took the advice of someone here and browsed a UK forum this weekend to see the pics they're posting of new LR5s. I have to admit, I really liked the look of everybody's new vehicles. They are sharp looking. I think the white looks like an Explorer, but in the other colors, with branding...- toddjb122

Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
Ryan, good tip on the Prospeed. That's mostly what I want, don't see it in the U.S. thought. Jet, thanks for the link to FrontRunner. That rack is interesting. I had some questions for them, but it looks like their slim rack is out of stock anyway. I do like that one I pictured above which... -

Does anyone know what this rack is? (See attached) -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
Thanks! I missed that thread. I tell ya, I can use an even lower profile rack than this as I am only putting thing on the top, don't need the side height. Still, that thread answered some of my questions. -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
I found a company that makes a low profile voyager rack (full roof coverage) and they can put a couple extra cross bars on for me. So, I'd have a bar at the back, the faring in the front, and two in the middle. Anyone with one of those tubing racks have any tips or regrets? It'd be custom made... -

? Man I'm completely out of the loop. In the UK people are already taking delivery and driving these things? Will have to look...- toddjb122

2007 LR3 MPG's - Got 18mpg skiing this week
Great picture. Sounds like a fun strip. I agree, I take the LR3 on regular ski trips and it's awesome. First, you have the tailgate to sit on while you suit up before the day (boots and such). Second, the interior is so long you don't need a rack. Fold the middle seat flat and I'm able to... -
Lessons from a dead battery and where you hang your keys
My take on this is that @Davidinseattle 's car sits for long periods of times between trips. That's why it is an issue. If it is your daily driver, the vehicle is always getting a fresh charge so it is a non-issue. It's when the car is there for weeks at a time, constantly checking... -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
I didn't know the roof rails were the same since they were standard on the LR3. That's an option worth considering. Although, now that I see the extended roof rails available, I think I'll get those if I go with OEM gear. I need the one extra position up front and I like the look. So, this... -
Is this possible to remove '16 LR4 running boards?
Lucky8 has a couple nice options. -
LR5 Release Updates?
That 2 seat bench design in the LR5 is an annoyance for me as well. As soon as I saw that, I figured it was just a money saving decision. 3 independent 2nd row seats that can all fold flat independently is ideal. I have not removed my center seat (I do keep the headrest off, blocks the...- toddjb122

LR5 Release Updates?
Hadn't thought of that. Good point for offroad enthusiasts. I think we have already clarified that is no longer the market for these vehicles. :( That's exactly what I said to him! "Do you know anybody who has their seats clear of debris for a remote seat fold?" His response was that it...- toddjb122

LR5 Release Updates?
Thanks, @namenda! Appreciate the pics and observations. Spoke to my dealer today who thinks they'll get a demo in April. I told him I'm deciding between the LR4 and the Discovery. He said I should go for the Discovery because it has all kinds of new technology like being able to fold the...- toddjb122

LR3 bouncing a little on low access height?
It's possible that you are more sensitive to it now because you are looking for differences since the compressor update. I have always noticed my air suspension to be stiffer at the low setting. I am guessing it just doesn't have as much range in that mode to absorb shock. Could be wrong...
