    What's with JLR?/Defender rant

    https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2019-ford-ranger-ford-returns-to-midsize-pickup-truck-fight/ Granted it is not the Raptor version but I hate the front and the interior. Way too car like.

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Well, that is a new theory that I would like to believe. Here is your D5 all those who want a mini-van with great off-roading ability. Want and XC90 without the good design and interior, but that is better off-road? Here is your new D5. Want something as capable as a Jeep, but not as boring...

    What's with JLR?/Defender rant

    Well, if I had a bigger garage, I would probably be driving a new Raptor right now instead of a Land Rover... I might never sell the LR4, because I get an emotional attachment to cars. It's just unique compared to everything else out there and still holds on to the heritage that I have always...

    Is it still ugly?

    Only the view from the back is truly ugly. The rest is just boring... It has grown on me a bit, from the front and side. However, it still looks too much like everything else on the road... From LR, Ford, Toyota Sienna. Whatever Sorry to rain on your parade(just my opinion, and Clarkson, the...

    What's with JLR?/Defender rant

    Couldn't agree more... And our similarities are starting to scare me. White LR4 Lux: Check... 08 Infiniti G35xS: Check... Product Owner at a software company: Check... I bought the best example of the 4th gen I could find because I wanted something luxurious, unique, utilitarian and incredibly...

    Prospeed Rack

    Welp, hearing that lucky8 has a couple in stock, I may finally have to pull the trigger(on the rack, ladder and some accessories)... Couple of questions @iSurfvilano if you don't mind: Does the box the rack comes in actually fit inside the truck? (I travel too much and get everything shipped...

    First Winter Drive...

    Running BFG KO2s on compos which are much better than the all seasons on my stock 20's, but don't compare to the Blizzak WS80s on my Infiniti G35xS. Anything less than 8" of snow and I choose the Infiniti, it just handles so amazingly well in snow with those tires. The Land Rover doesn't quite...

    Any idea who makes the OEM Windshield sunshade?

    Yeah, I own it and it doesn't fit great around the mirror/sensor. It definitely wasn't made for the newer models.

    Console cooler for 2012 LR4

    Front Runner Roof Rack on OEM Rails

    Seriously... I am not looking forward to buying and installing the short rails prior to even being able to mount the Prospeed rack. That is the only rack I want to pursue. Seems to be the best of all options I want in a rack. Low-profile, full access to sun-roof, super easy to remove tent bar...

    LR4 Interior LED Lights

    If you want bright AF, then that is probably right... If you just want the nice looks from LEDs(that are plenty bright...), you can get cheap replacement bulbs for all locations minus the front door puddle lights. The 2 frond door card lights were £25, but the only thing that would work...

    Hello all.

    Yep... pretty sure I could sell my late MY15 CPO LUX with HD and black pack(and now compos) for more than I paid for it 8 months ago. I was somewhat concerned I paid a little more than I should have, but it was/is mint and had every option I wanted including black lacquer interior and tow...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Nice! Almost got the Taco TRD Pro. Didn't honestly compare to the landy? I just did some of my first serious off-roading last weekend trying to keep up with my buddy in his RZR 1000 turbo. I am continually surprised by the LR4. Went over some 6 foot mounds of snow and forged many rivers and...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Thanks! I ordered a set for $27 off ebay that "looked" like the stock ones from my black wheels, but when they came the oval was a much lighter green than the pic or my stock set. Threw them on regardless then ordered the second set below with the black oval for $10. They are a little too small...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Well, with temps in the 90's this week the high elevation snow was melting like crazy so had to go check it out. This waterfall is only 20 or so minutes from my house. Couldn't be more happy with the LR. Can't believe what this thing can do. Could barely get out to take this pic, but had...

    Bubbarope Kinetic Recovery Rope

    I really like the shackles. I used them to turn around a broken-down F150 on a small trail. Worked well for tight turns. They are more expensive... but they are rated to take a lot more weight, quicker to deploy, a couple pounds lighter and WAY safer. For the piece of mind of not having a...

    Bubbarope Kinetic Recovery Rope

    I have the ARB too, but only because I discovered the bubba rope after I bought the strap and it was too late to return it. While the bubba rope seems to be awesome, I'm sure the ARB is good enough. It looks like it is also more compact. I keep mine in the third row footwell. I also have 2...

    My Fuji White 2012 became a Kaikoura Stone 2016

    That's a nice find. Took me forever to find one with matching specs. I've noticed the running boards stand out way more on anything but the Fuji white. I hate mine too, but still figuring out what to do.

    IID Tool - What are your favorite features?

    First time I plugged it in the tool said 35 was the max to stay even. Plugged it in later and it said 43mm was the highest. I would say it is worth checking again.

    Showoff Your LR4

    I bought an ARB recovery strap and tried to return it for a Bubba rope but was too late. I wish I got the bubba rope... I did get two of their gator jaw soft shackles. I used them once for that tow and worked great.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Uhhh... nope. Should I have? I'll be honest, the LR4 is my first truck and don't have a ton of experience towing. Watched bunches of recovery videos so I can at least be safe and responsible. This incident wasn't really a recovery, we wasn't stuck. Just couldn't move under his own power. He...

    Drove the new Discovery and I'm totally confused now.

    This, this, this. My 6'8" co-worker and I drove his brothers new 4Runner about a month or two after I bought my LR4. It made me happy I didn't buy a Toyota. Leg room was good, but that was it. From the waist up it is very confined. My co-worker looked like he was in a clown car, his head was...

    Front Runner Sump Guard / Skid Plate

    Yep, but I'm a little hesitant with the "structural" running boards and their aluminum crumple zone. I know only the MY15 and 16s have these and none of the other previous body styles do, but it is something I have to get past. I am very partial to Prospeed for some reason. I will for sure be...

    Thoughts?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that is probably overly pleased with how the 2014+ LED headlights look. I'm not saying that was a significant factor in buying the newer LR4, but it was a tick the win column. I love how they look without the headlights on. They are surprisingly bright too. I...
