    Newbie Question re Heavy Duty Package

    Yeah. You need to make sure you have it in 4L, 1st gear when you go curb crawling. (Isn't that one of the Terrain Response modes?)

    T44 rock sliders - Test fitting (long post)

    So where are you headed in Oregon? I grew up in Eugene. Spent a lot of time in the Cascades. Vacationed in Bend a number of times (almost bought a place there.) I love Oregon! Pic 1 - Lunch along the Coquille River near Bandon Pic 2 - Camping along the side of Philips Lake near Baker...

    I just figured you called it Finlay. Oh, wait. That's your dog, right?

    T44 rock sliders - Test fitting (long post)

    I will seriously consider these eventually. I am only slightly concerned about the weight. And I would like to here a bit more extended experience by some folks with the latest LR4 and needing to work around the compressor. I like the somewhat more subdued look and the protection. But I also...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Excellent, Chris! BTW, I named mine "Lara" (as in the Lara Croft, Tomb Raider movie). Having been around boats growing up I tend to sue feminine names for things like this. (And when the LR voice command talks to me it is of course a female voice.) And Lara Croft was elegant, sophisticated...

    Side mirror spacing?

    I just get a kick out of how much epiclr4 loves to help out on this forum! Always very helpful, BTW! You really need to come back, Heath! LOL.

    Showoff Your LR4

    I am right there with you, Chris. My wife is pretty good with all this - to a limit. (It helps that we have now been empty nesters for nearly 10 years and that I tell here that our going exploring together is better than me disappearing for 5 hours to play golf.) But I have to be careful. I...

    Who is the lucky owner?

    Wait. I had to check my calendar to make sure its not April 1st! Who announces a recall for two vehicles? And how did they know? It doesn't seem like it is a systemic issue - unless these were the first two off the line. 2? Really?

    Showoff Your LR4

    Yes! There is something about our LR4 that makes me want to see things and go places that I haven't considered before. Nice pic.

    New LR4 Owner

    Ha ha! These decisions can be tough. It all comes down to your requirements/needs and then your tastes. There are probably a lot of people driving LR4s who don't need the capabilities. Also a lot of people whose "tastes" may be better served by other "Suburban Utility Vehicles" that have...

    snow / gravel program

    That is awesome, umberto! I love this "nerdy" stuff (coming from a software engineering background). It even has your highlighting in it. ;-)

    New LR4 Owner

    Amen. There are a lot of "SUVs" out there and people will argue the reliability/issues. But we all have different reasons for choosing a vehicle. Like phil1ben, rock solid reliability probabilities were not my top priority. There was no Toyota or Honda or BMW or Mercedes that was able to...

    OEM Rear ladder versions

    Ouch. I guess I shouldn't chuckle. Getting on the roof works well for fireworks, too. But as you said, you need to be on a good rack to be safe. I don't have something as strong as the Voyager rack but my Yakima crossbars and basket are good enough as long as I don't bounce around and I...

    Cargo Liner 2015 LR4

    I have cut out the cut outs on the OEM mat. For the tie downs. I have a heavy duty and adjustable bungie cord nearly always connected to the rear-most tied down loops. This makes it easy to simply pull it up and over whatever I put in the cargo area. I don't use the net - it has always been...

    Cargo Liner 2015 LR4

    I have used them as well. I have also used them to negotiate discounts from my dealer. My dealer knows all about them. ;-)

    Donor vehicle needed for rear bumper prototype in Utah

    Yeah. The Tactical 4x4 guys contacted me and said they were waiting to hear back from you. Of course I knew you had gone with the Kaymar. BTW, I am getting mixed messages from ARB and Kaymar. As it was the dealer was able to fix my bumper after replacing a couple of the brackets I broke so...

    '14 LR4 Rear bumper replacement - options?

    Ha! I am blessed with a wonderful wife. Every time I get a scratch on it and even with this bumper "mishap" her response was, "didn't we get this to go places we wouldn't go in a regular car?" I do suppose there are limits to her understanding, though. ;-)

    OEM Rear ladder versions

    I also intend to use the ladder as a shooting platform for photography from time to time. I have the OEM ladder but have thought about trying to find some sort of platform I could place on the ladder. Also thinking about how to rig up something on my Yakima bars/basket for my tripod.

    Cargo Liner 2015 LR4

    Not sure which model you ordered. The base model comes with 5 seats (and 3rd row may be an option.) But I believe the HSE and LUX models all come with 7 seats. The configuration of the middle rows in the the 5-seat option is a bit different than in the 7-seat option. We had an HSE LUX so...

    New LR4 Owner

    Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing pics - especially those showing you giving it a proper use. Since you had a Jeep I'll assume that you like to explore "off pavement" once in a while. My wife and I are empty nesters and went with the LR4 for similar reasons. Just so much you will be...

    Off-road navigation app recommendations?

    I have used Gaia a fair bit. Works great. If you happen to be able to get .gpx files for your route and can get them on your iPad (assuming you use an iPad) you can open them in Gaia and they will be overlaid on your map. I do this with the data files provided sold by the Funtreks group here...

    Great pics! Truck looks good. Good to see you enjoying the truck for more than commuting.

    '14 LR4 Rear bumper replacement - options?

    Bumper fixed by local LR dealer. $450 for parts and labor. Had to replace a couple of brackets. All good to go. I'll wait on an aftermarket bumper for some good 2014 versions come out and for me to need it.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I tried to use after market TPMS (actually Direct Tire did) on my 2014 LR4. Didn't work. I believe they used a different system in the 2014. Different signal level or something. I had to go with the LR OEM sensors. Before you ask, I kept the original sensors in the original wheels. I put...
