    Another Defender hint?

    That's a ding. Love that about the LR4.

    LR4 snorkel ???

    Sounds like there is an interesting story behind this...

    Integrated Front Bar / Winch Mount

    If I don't get persuaded into getting a Defender, I will be putting on the ARB Summit bar next year after body color matching it to Fuji White.

    Another Defender hint?

    I am excited about the flat floor, but it looks to be 6" shorter than the LR4... That might mean my exped mat won't fit. Guess we will have to see in real life.

    Another Defender hint?

    Also... Anyone else think those tiny rear lights plopped amongst all that sheet metal looks ridiculous?

    New to me 2014; how to start?

    uhhhh, how have I been on this board and a SC V6 LR4 owner for almost 3 years and never new that the engine was a V-8 block with 2 plugged cylinders???!?!? I am dumbfounded. anyone ever put a SC from the 5.0 V-8 RRS or RR and unplug the cylinders? Or is the LS swap we saw the better route for...

    Thoughts and experiences from recent road trip

    My favorite color hands down. Just couldn't find one that met all my criteria after shopping for 4 months. I do like the fuji white that I got, which had everything else I wanted. But every time I see a corris grey with black pack it makes me a little sad/jealous.

    What LR??

    Also the turning indicators appear to be clear which is definitely not US spec. And makes me jealous... The orange in the headlights doesn't look as good as the all white and black for UK versions which would make my almost storm troopery car look cleaner. Nit picky I agree.

    2014-2016 model buying question.

    I second this.^^^ I have a little over a year left on my warranty, and also live and drive at 5k-8k feet elevation and would be curios about this setup in the future.

    Improved Visibility...

    You just changed my life!! I went and took it out just now. Not sure I how I missed that little hidden button, but it is easy to miss if you don't know to look for it.

    Improved Visibility...

    That was my first question... Next question is how do you even get the current ones out.? I tried for about 15 seconds once and gave up cause it seems like there was something specifically stopping it from being removed. Would love to remove the middle one.

    Leather Dash Peeling/Pulling Up

    I have gotten 2 custom made steering wheel replacements under my CPO warranty. (the first one had the wrong wiring harness). My heated steering wheel stopped working, and there were no spares in the whole world, so Land Rover had to make one(and then another) from scratch. I'm sure they did a...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Nice find getting one with the HD package. If you didn't make a concerted effort, then you lucked out. You also make me want to tint my front windows darker...

    1200 RPM Hum

    Yep, I have the same thing which is very annoying and noticeable at normal driving speeds around town. Took it in to the dealer and described the issue in great detail and after they drove it around they said it sounds like all the other SCV6s they have driven and noticed nothing wrong. Still...

    Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?

    I have KO2s on compos and besides looks and being relatively quiet, I don't have much good to say about them. I don't have any comparative experience with any other A/T tires however. Biggest complaint is how they hold up. They wear like garbage. Limited off-roading has all but destroyed them...

    LS SWAP - Yeah... Really

    Same... I have a hard time getting rid of cars even when I don't need them. I could see myself having a Defender(if it hits the mark) and keeping the LR4 and getting a swap done. It would be great to pair the ZF8HP70 transmission up to a V8 engine and get the best of both worlds and not have...

    LS SWAP - Yeah... Really

    Looks Christmas tree like here. Guessing he got it all sorted after this shot. That would be amazing. Definitely curious on the costs involved on his build. And like @avslash said... I would have no idea where to start. (but am prolly 100k miles away from even considering it.)

    LR4 Drawer system finished

    Nice call on the Exped Megamat Duo! Most comfortable camping mattress of all time. I have one and love it. Have used it a number of times in the Rover and it fits perfectly, no? I even went and bought a skinny one for solo trips with a lot of gear or when I want to sleep inside the truck with...

    Should I take the plunge?

    ^^^This x 1000%^^^ I do love a perfectly clean, mirror black paint job. However, on the LR4 I feel it ruins the lines and does indeed look like a boring box, instead of a unique, sexy box... The alpine roof just looks weird without the contrast of the 3rd row window. I bet it would look better...

    Should I take the plunge?

    When I was shopping for a CPO last gen LR4, my priority list in order of importance was HD>Lux/Landmark>black pack>black lacquer interior trim>exterior color. Got everything I wanted except the Corris Grey exterior. Love grey cars and it would have been closer to my grey Infiniti. I do love the...

    Should I take the plunge?

    Correct. No such thing as LUX with Landmark. It was one or the other. LUX was available in both 15 and the early 16 models. By midway through the 16 run, they just started throwing what stuff they had left and made it a "Landmark edition." There is not a 2015 Landmark that exists on the planet.

    shopping for a LR4

    I have the vision assist package and it is only real worth is as a cool thing to show off to your friends/family... I almost never use it as the quality and size of the images on the tiny dashboard screen really doesn't help see much of anything. I have played with it while off roading, but...

    Should I take the plunge?

    I hunted for months to get one of the last clean, low mileage LUX/Landmarks with HD package and full factory CPO. I love it to death and have been in some crazy situations where low range on the 2 speed transfer case has kept me on the trail. And even with that, I have had to be recovered by my...
