    Another Coolant / Cross Over Pipe leak...

    I had my crossover pipe replaced and it started leaking immediately. Faulty part, it was leaking on the seam.

    How many miles on your LR4?

    Awesome! I got my 11' with 63k on it in February and I'm already at 88k. Hearing about all these high mileage rovers definitely makes me feel more confident about reliability!

    H7 LED or Halogen Fog Light Bulb Recommendations

    I just installed Philips crystal vision bulbs in my hi's, low's, and fogs. They are noticeably better. I'd say worth the money. If you look in the accessories thread I believe someone posted about upgrading the entire housing with an led system with a cutoff. I looked into it awhile back and...

    For those of you thinking about the upcoming winter...

    FYI Simpletire.com is doing a sale on Nokians until October 4th. I just got a set of WRG3's delivered to a local shop for $705.00. I'll have to pay to get them installed but I'm still way ahead of buying them locally.

    For those of you thinking about the upcoming winter...

    I'm on the fence about what to do for this winter. For my work I am currently commuting back and forth across WA from Spokane to Seattle Area for work weekly. I was thinking about getting the studless nokians but will that drive be too much road time for them? On the weekends I am at the ski...

    Preemptive 80K mile service...

    Funny enough, the water pump failed this week and it's back in the shop getting fixed.

    Preemptive 80K mile service...

    So my 2011 LR4 just hit 85K and my Front crossover Pipe is leaking. While they are in in there should I have anything else replaced? My waterpump was already replaced once by a previous owner at about 30k or so.

    Bluetooth phone & audio for 2011 LR4?

    I use the Bovee on my 2011 and it has worked great so far. Seamlessly switches between calls and audio and lets me use the steering wheel controls to skip songs and answer/decline calls.

    Bike Racks!!! Any ideas?

    Yup, you can open the rear hatch with the rack on. I even have mine adjusted close to the rear of the car and it isn't much of an issue. My wife and I went on a 2 week trip for our honeymoon camping and riding all over BC in July and I was constantly opening the back of the car to let the...

    LR4 Accessories

    If anyone is interested in getting a spare key holder I picked up this guy off of amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C34A910/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is a perfect fit for our LR4 keys. It is waterproof and the magnets are really strong.

    REVIEW; Front Runner 3 Bar Roof Rack (Load Bar Kit)

    I was looking at the prospeed but I just can't justify it atm. My main goals are to expand my storage capability by mounting my ski box and to mount an awning. I went ahead and ordered a short rack kit from ebay and I will mount my ski box and an awning to that and if that isn't satisfactory...

    REVIEW; Front Runner 3 Bar Roof Rack (Load Bar Kit)

    I just tried again and actually spoke with Bryan on the phone, he said that they don't offer the rails anymore as people were overloading them and it is just simply not possible to get this system anymore. Guess I'll have to go the full rack route..

    Bike Racks!!! Any ideas?

    My Fiance and I mountain bike all summer and do a lot of racing. We ended up with a recon rack which is pricy but will last forever and can carry 5 high end bikes without any rubbing or touching. IMO loading bikes onto the roof rack of an SUV is a huge PITA. http://recon-racks.com/

    Showoff Your LR4

    Finally installed my Atlantic British Hitch and Recon Rack for mountain bikes. I took it on it's maiden voyage to hood river this last weekend and I have to say I really like the rack but the hitch was making me really nervous as it was moving a fair amount. I am going to reinstall it with...

    Considering LR4 purchase

    I was in the same boat and wanted very specific options and low miles so I ended up taking a chance and ordering my LR4 through my local dealer ( who happened to be part of the Autonation Network) all the way from Florida and it came with a 90 day 4,000 mile warranty. I promptly took it to a...

    LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?

    I was speaking with a local certified LR shop today and they told me that 7500 miles should be the max you go on an oil change if you want the motor to last on these cars. They said they had a RR sport in the shop with 100k on it that had been serviced by the dealer it's whole life on the 15k...

    LR4 Accessories

    Has anyone tried to install a set of rigid dually's? I have a set of the SAE approved lights that I took off of my Nissan titan before I traded it in. I would like to install them in place of the factory fogs on my 11' if possible.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Thanks! Its been great so far. Super excited to take it on some trips this summer. Just need to figure out what kind of roof rack system I want to get next.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Finally Picked up my 2011 LR4 tonight. I couldn't find any in the PNW in my price range with low enough miles so I had my local LR dealership bring this one in all the way from Florida! It had only 62k miles on it and all the options I wanted (Black Interior, Cold Weather Package). I'm super...

    LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?

    That seems like a logical assumption, here's another stupid idea: What if someone who had a slight ticking or other evidence of a wearing timing chain did a crankcase flush with seafoam or another additive and changed the oil with seafoam. If the ticking went away would that be evidence that...

    General thoughts on buying a 2011 LR4 with 100k miles?

    What's the objection on the Terrain Contacts? Are they no good or just no good for serious offloading? I am buying an LR4 this week and I was planning on getting those eventually. I do 90% highway driving, most of my "offroad" is getting through muddy parking areas for mountain bike races or...

    LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?

    What interval do you change your oil at? I am picking up my first LR this week, 2011 LR4 with 62k miles, and the timing chain issue is for sure my biggest worry going into the purchase. I plan on Changing my oil every 7500mi with Mobil 1 and seafoam. I drive about 22k/year and plan to keep...
