Over 150k miles
Thanks. I'm going to take mine in for a 30K check in the next couple of weeks. I want to get it done before I head to AZ for the Overland Expo as I expect to do some side trips along with way and I don't want any 30K issues showing up. I just rolled 28K so that is close enough. I expect they...- danrhiggins

Upcoming LR4 Recall
Did they say if it was a 2015-only problem? BTW, just noticed that your LR4 is Bronze. Nice. I'm rather partial to that color.- danrhiggins

Showoff Your LR4
I, too, like the 2-tone leather. Are the backs of the seats 2-tones as well? I also like the Blue. We don't see that color very often. (I think it's blue, right?) As for the running boards, if you aren't really doing boulder crawling they're probably fine. And I expect it helps you girls...- danrhiggins

Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
A lot of people did the 265/65 route. I see now that Umberto and others have done the 285/60. I understand that the 285 will be wider. But what about vertical height? I think I remember hearing that the second number (60 or 65 or whatever) is a ratio of the width? Does that make the 285/60...- danrhiggins

Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
You can certainly move your TPMS to your Compos. I did that and it worked fine. I eventually picked up a second set because I keep the stock 19" wheels around with either the original Contis or a set of Nokian snow tires on them. So when I know I'm not going to be offroad for a couple of...- danrhiggins

Over 150k miles
You just made my day, Umberto! I don't mind the costs associated with routine maintenance and replacing things that wear out due to reasonable use. I don't mind the costs (part replacements, fixes like broken bumpers) associated with moderate off roading. In the long run those costs will be...- danrhiggins

Over 150k miles
Looking forward to the answers to Sam's question. Having burned nearly 30K in my first year I need to 1) budget my miles a bit better and 2) hope that I can get 150K out of this baby! Or more! I don't mind spending money fixing the things that one would expect to wear out. I just don't want...- danrhiggins

Help! Need a Sanity Check for LR4 Pricing
A couple of stories from our buying experience a year ago (Denver) - The Denver LR store had actually combined to LR stores in the area in a new location and were therefore classified as a "new" store and received a "corporate allotment" of 2014 LR4s. 5 black and 5 white. All with black...- danrhiggins

LR4 vs RRS offroad
No so fast! Front console to tailgate is not a measure of cargo floor space. Trust me. I didn't just research the Land Cruiser/570, I owned a Land Cruiser. The problem is that all you can do with the middle row is roll it forward up against the front seats leaving shortening the cargo floor...- danrhiggins

Umberto, wouldn't someone be able to modify those default ground clearance numbers with GAP's IIDTool?- danrhiggins

LR4 vs RRS offroad
Umberto and others have covered the similarities and differences in platform and driving dynamics. All of this weighed into our decision as well. But I would like to add on to Umberto's comments about space/cargo room. When you say "off road", what do you mean? For us it is about both...- danrhiggins

IID Tool puchase
Keep in mind that features available for earlier models may not currently (or maybe ever) be available for later models (like MY14 which is what I have). Some or all of this is due to the design of software/systems in each MY. In a couple of cases it may be that the GAP folks have not yet had...- danrhiggins

OEM LR side protection tubes VTD500010
How much protection do they actually provide? I, too, am a bit concerned about the weight and install for the Tactical 4x4s. Are they likely to just bend up into the body anyway if you ease down onto a shelf that your underestimated? Or rub up against a short boulder along the side of the...- danrhiggins

Can I turn off Parking Warning Sensors w/ IID Tool?
Thanks, Eric. It works great. Put the bike rack and bike on today and no annoying beeping. Cross traffic warning and blind spot warning all work. Only the parking assist is off and I never use that anyway.- danrhiggins

Roof Rack Conundrum
+1 for the Yakima (if the weight limit is adequate). Though I went with the Yakima's this year as they now have a fit kit for the MY14. As AJ pointed out, it is very easy on/off. I have a lift anchored to the rafters in my garage. I attach the lift, loosen 4 wing nuts and lift it off. After...- danrhiggins

Tow Package Option
Congrats on the new LR4, Dave! Doesn't it feel great! What you described is what I received with my MY14 Lux. The only dealer install I did was the brake controller as we were preparing to tow a trailer last Summer.- danrhiggins
