    Front Fender Flare

    They do snap on, mine came painted off a wrecked vehicle just wrong color. I think I ordered clips off eBay. Im not sure if it will clean up, the scratches may be to deep to buff out so it may need to be painted.

    Front Fender Flare

    I ordered one off a wrecked LR4 after shipping $100 plus another $200 for exact color match paint and another $20 for new clips. So figure it may cost no more then $500 unless you can find a white one. Mine was supposed to be white but got copper colored...

    How to know what exactly is covered under extended warranty ?

    Call your warranty company directly and ask if the dealer submitted a warranty request for coverage. Little frustrating I know but every time anything goes wrong it's $500 minimum lol...

    Alarm going off randomly. No message center alert

    My LR4 started this, the hood switch is a crappy design, I tried to stretch the arm to make better contact but that failed so I made a small jumper completely bypassing the switch and that solved my random alarm problem.

    Extended warranty

    I bought the carmax warranty when we bought the wifes 08'RR and paid around $4k, hands down paid for it's self plus ten. $100 dec at independent shops or $250 at the dealership. I have had zero issues getting things repaired from leaking radiator , front airbags to fuel pump. Only thing is have...

    Little update, I started to notice a little white smoke at startup so I ran it to the shop and they had to replace the passenger side valve cover so now I am up to $5800 grand total on the rolling brick. I will say after the updates the only thing you can hear is the injectors.

    Timing Chain repair costs

    Not going into full detail but I just had my 2011 LR4 with 100k miles timing updated and the price was $3500 otd that included all timing chains, guides, tensioners and gaskets BUT I also had them replace all cooling components, belts while it was down and the bill soared to $5800. I would...

    I'm all stocked up on bad decisions so I will keep this one for a while, after putting some miles on it yesterday I reminded myself how much I love this rolling brick.....

    All in out the door $5289. The shop manager said he hasn't seen one come in for preventive maintenance because most people are unaware of the issue and when they show up the engine skipped timing and suffered catastrophic failure. I can say that while I thought mine really didn't need the timing...

    Tell me about it, My plan was to have it repaired and drive it another five years BUT then the wife beat me into a new Rubicon, if I had known that I would have traded it in but no in my world things always work a$$ backwards.

    Finally picked up the LR4, she got new head gaskets, studs all new timing parts, all cooling parts replaced basically I told them while you have it apart replace anything and everything that is plastic or questionable. Now the question is do I keep or do I sale?

    Chair Lift on LR3?

    As life hands down more hurdles the VA granted my dad a electric scooter and lift so I thought okay I will have them install the lift on the LR3 BUT the mobility center said the combined weight will be around 550lbs and they do not have a lift the will work on the LR3. Does anyone on here have a...

    My luck, I bought the new Rubicon last Saturday and this comes out. Goes to show you just can't win, I buy an LR4 and almost one year later it needs timing work, I buy a jeep it may have faulty welds, I owned two 6.0 power strokes 03' and 07' worst engine on the market but I had ZERO issues...

    Question about Winches

    I have wanted to add a winch for some time but there a zillion options and brands. What brand is mostly used and living in Vegas the summer heat can be extreme so wold a steel cable be my best option? We have zero rust BUT his best friend DRY ROTT takes a serious tole.

    2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle

    I’ve had good luck running Seafoam but I also had no issues, you can tell when it’s in the system because the R4 runs a little better l/smoother.

    Spoke with the mechanics and they are baffled why I had this work done, chain was a little lose but well within spec and tensioner/guides were the originals with wear. They were baffled because usually people bring them in after the engine skips timing lol never as preventative. On a side note I...

    Actually no, after seeing videos and reading about others having it done or failures and mine being a 2011 I figured it's time and it's paid off. Since I am having the timing parts replaced and the cooling system has to be removed I told the shop just replace everything now including rear cross...

    After reading and seeing the videos I became paranoid lol, at cold start up it sounds normal ZERO noise, no metallic ticking or anything but after driving around and say run inside the store it would have this loud clanking for a few minutes then goes away. It ran perfect so yes preemptively.

    Sounds like Vegas, one LR dealer and half a dozen Jeep dealers. If and I do mean IF I decide to buy a Jeep it’ll be loaded and on sale like holiday sales.

    I had a 71' Bronco, picked it up for free in 92' and converted everything over to full disc brakes and power steering , removed three on the tree to AOD for the overdrive. Around 05' a person made me an offer I could not resist and I let her go. It was fun and my boys loved it especially when I...

    Well the wife has been pushing me to buy a new jeep, something I have always wanted and dreamed about owning until I drove a few the other day to only realize I am older, spoiled and love my LR4. I still have my LR3 and wife's RR so the struggle wouldn't be as bad BUT I love this LR4. I decided...
