    LR4 just shuts off when I place car into park

    Have you unbuckled your seat belt when you put it in Park? Does it also sometimes happen when you have already put it in Park and then unbuckle your seat belt? This is most likely the ECO mode combined with the car thinking you are going to exit the care (combination of unbuckling the seat...

    Roadside blowout

    Ouch. I don't know which is worse. Changing a flat on the shoulder of the interstate or on a rough trail. At least on the trail you know you're not going to get hit by some idiot texting while speeding down the interstate at 90MPH! As for the pics, I'm going to go do a search on YouTube...

    Pollen/Cabin Filter maintenance

    LOL! I hate those sort of noise. But, sigh, I have actually had them in my previous two vehicles, a Lexus 350 and an Acura MDX, and though the dealerships tried they were never able to fix them. The one I have now in my LR4 sounds like a screw was dropped somewhere in the front-ish part of the...

    Side step

    Though I have not had my Voyager sliders long enough (only a month) to experience what Surfrider has, I had heard that this can be an issue. I bought them expecting to need to re-do the power coating (or not) after a couple of years because eventually rocks and stuff are going to take their...

    Side step

    My bad. Sorry. These are Voyager. (My crossbars and rack are Yakima.) :argh: Here is the link to the Voyager site. They made these sliders for the LR3. With the LR4 model they are actually a bit simpler because you don't need to fuss with some trim on/near the front fenders. They take...

    Side step

    I am very happy with the Yakima sliders (w/ step) I put on about a month ago. The don't extend as far underneath as the Tactical 4x4 sliders or provide air compressor protection but then they are also a bit simpler to install (and remove if you need to do work in that area) and they easily...

    LR4 Cross Bars, Thule or LR ?

    I had the Thule. Switched to the Yakima that MST has as the anchors for the Thule were much more difficult to deal with. The bars themselves are not noticeably noise. When I put my roof rack on with stuff on it that is a different store.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Yep. I had my compressor but the trail was closed for the winter after another half mile. So not worth the effort this time. Next time I'll air down and drive the full length. As for the Maxtrax, I bought them after getting stuck in the snow last June - I figure if I have them I won't ever...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Hey, Surfrider, I had my first taste of "sand" this past week. I was at the Great Sand Dunes NP and drove a bit up their "primitive 4WD trail". What a hoot! Nothing like what you drive but enough to get a taste. I only traveled about a mile and didn't air down as my wife was with me and not...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    BTW, the Hankooks I had were great tires. I did plenty of off road with them but had not done much "sharp rock" terrain. I've been doing more of that so when I had to replace two of them at the same time due to trail damage I decided to make the switch. As AxelR points out, the LT's are...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Can't comment on the 265/65 as I went with the 265/60. But I will say that I had the Hankook Dynapro ATMs for about a year. But the 265/65R18 and 265/60R18 are P rated (4-ply sidewalls). (The Hankook ATMs do come in LT rated but not in those sizes. I just checked their website.) They felt...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Had one of the first 2014 Acura MDXs - actually the first to leave my dealer's lot. It was a mistake. Numerous issues and many simply could not be fixed. So many changes and new things introduced that I had not anticipated. Many were software, others were not. And the techs at the...

    Potential New Owner

    Nice! Be sure to give us a readout after a couple of months. If you like to go offroad you will especially enjoy it. There is something special about its ability to go from pavement to trail and back. So versatile. Not sure where you live but if it is in the western US there are LOTS of...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    There are some things in life that are inevitable. Death, taxes and the ongoing discussion of SCV6 vs NAV8. :big grin: BTW, I have the SCV6. Tows my 24', 6200 lbs (loaded) travel trailer up and over 11,000' mountain passes in Colorado and gets me everywhere I want to go with more than...

    Showoff Your LR4

    New KO2s and Voyager Sliders all set to go KO2s are great. First day out I drove across the stream you see in the picture and climbed up the ice on the other side. They (obviously) did well in snow for me but it wasn't deep. I'm liking the sliders as well. They can handle a Hi-Lift and...

    Towing

    The OEM hitch will not interfere with a normal full size spare (30") diameter. In fact, it works with the new tires I put on this weekend that are 30.5". The spare tire issue occurs if you need to go to the Curt Class III hitch which is sturdier than the OEM hitch but, again, protrudes...

    Ski Rack

    I use Yakima crossbars and a Yakima Load Warrior rack. Though not a picture of the rack specifically you can see it on top of my truck from a drive I did today. You may notice in the picture that I started with a set of Thule crossbars as Yakima did not have a fit kit for the LR4 at the...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Drove up into the "foothills" today to try out the KO2s. I inflated them to 46/50-ish (may have been 51 as my gauge is analog and not that easy to read). I drove 65-70 on the interstate. 55-65 on a fair bit of "highway" then did a bit of offloading including some snow and ice work. (See...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Thanks! Just what I needed as Discount Tire didn't have a clue! Thanks, bullmkt, I had new 265/60R18 KO2s mounted yesterday and the Discount Tire guys didn't really have a clue about the PSI. I thought I remembered a discussion of this on the forum and am glad I found it this morning. I'm...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    New 265/60R18 Mounted Yesterday - Best PSI? Alright. They're on. (I'll show pics on the Show Off thread next week after my Voyager sliders are installed.) The 265/60R18's (on Compos) fit great for me. I'm OK without the additional inch. It was a trade off I am willing to live with. And...

    Showoff Your LR4

    That looks awesome! And what a unique opportunity to see the super bloom. I have only read about it but I understand that it requires must the right combination of weather, moisture, heat, etc. and that the last time it happened was in 2005. Good pics.

    New 2016 HSE Owner - Couple questions

    I was talking hitch stuff with my service guy yesterday. They said they have a customer who tried one of those hitches to support his bike rack. It did OK until someone hit them from behind or the backed into something with the bike rack on. The hitch receiver got all bent up.

    For some of us ... why we bought a Land Rover

    First, I apologize for this being very off topic. It is not about anything Land Rover. Rather, it is merely a wonderful video from a landscape photographer. But it reminds me of why we bought an LR4 and makes me want to drop work and go get in my LR4 and just drive. Like right now. :hello...

    New 2016 HSE Owner - Couple questions

    Then the OEM hitch should do everything you need. The problem is that it is expensive for just doing that. The Curt bolt on is much less expensive but interferes with a full size spare. If you have the smaller temp spare and don't expect to ever need to store a full size spare underneath then...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    If I were them I wouldn't let the cat(man) out of the bag until they have sold most of their existing LR4 stock.
