    Spray Painting Wheels

    Hey jwest, I had my compressor replaced for the newer one about 2 months ago. Even though, rock sliders are still a few months away for me, I know that Tactical 4x4 offers a relocation bracket for the compressor (so it doesn't hang so low). When looking at their website, it's offered...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    285/60 if I recall his email correctly. It still is a 31.5" tire.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    As a side note, you mentioned that you wanted to stay at stock height. The 275 will probably work in a straight line but turning will be an issue. Brandon runs johnson rods permanently. It gives him an increased height of 2.5". I rub in the front wheel well even with the 35mm lift...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I picked the Hankooks for 2 reasons: 1-They're really good on snow and ice 2-They're only a couple more pounds than the stock Contis. However they have so much grip that my mpg have gone down a bit (I also removed all the aerodynamic bits). I initially was going to go with the BFGs like...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    According to everything I've read the max is 31.5 which corresponds to 265/65 and 285/60 for the 18s. I run 265/65 and I do get a little rubbing against the frame horns but I only have about 2500/3000 miles on the tires. The rubbing is minor and could easily be handled using a metal...

    It does look a lot like the pictures (renderings) that you can see on UK's autoexpress or German car news sites.

    How do you use your LR4? (Aside from commuting)

    Umberto, I checked the link for their website, the US reseller and eBay. There are two models on eBay (actually they are the same) but one mentions that it comes with Power Magic Pro and the other one doesn't. Do you happen to know what the power magic pro is? Also did you get the 16 or 32...

    Seems like a real fun area to go wheeling.

    Have $75K? You can get a '13 or '14 LR4 Today!

    And for how much ;)

    Have $75K? You can get a '13 or '14 LR4 Today!

    Wow!!! $78k for a used LR4... That is just insane. Don't they say that it loses almost half of its value when it's first driven off the lot?!? Well equipped from what I can see.

    Spray Painting Wheels

    I haven't found a shop that would allow to test this... They appear to all be oh so busy. However, it's only a half inch (0.6") difference with the 265 so it should be fine. The one thing though, is that it seems a bunch of people are relocating their rear HVAC lines... Not looking to have...

    I agree. Both 18s and 19s have a width of 8".

    Lr4 official off road photo and video thread

    Let's not be mistaken. I do like jeeps. Hell I almost bought one instead of the LR4 as for me (European) they are a kid's dream. On top of it, as you mentioned the aftermarket parts are more than readily available. I actually test drove both a Rubicon JK and a '14 Grand Cherokee... I hated...

    His BFGs are 265/65R18. When new, they come out at 31.7".

    Wheel Spacers- Help!

    Craziness. Your wheels are gonna be so far out!!! What are those called again? Mud boggers I believe. I can only imagine how it will look. As we've discussed I have them with the LR offset of 53 and my wheels are right there with the fender flares... You already have an offset of 20 or less...

    Most fun I've had driving int he snow in a while

    This is exactly what I experienced with the Evoque. Really easy to use and for me almost more natural than the big shifter that's in my '10 truck. Funny about the zoom in zoom out. Old habits die hard.

    Making a Green Lane Film for Land Rover Monthly Magazine

    Looks like a ton of fun. There's nothing like this around here (besides the fact that off-roading is actually illegal in MA).

    2014 LR4 lux delivery

    Quijote, this is a great strategy. While driving the loaner Evoque around for a week, it made me miss (a little) more planted cars but I still love the LR4. The box design is timeless.

    Pics please --- IVORY vs BLACK lacquer trim

    I have black lacquer with ebony interior and I love it. As I don't touch it much, there's very little dust deposit (and no fingerprints). Except a little by the terrain response knob.

    Fuel tank capacity- Sucks

    Some people advise to fill up when the indicator shows a quarter tank. This is because the fuel tank is shaped like a horseshoe so you might find yourself "out of gas" when cornering... I probably should just write turning as cornering seems extreme for such a large truck. Even though I don't...

    2014 LR4 lux delivery

    Funny you say this. My wife is all about the boxiness of the LR4. She wants to keep it forever. I do like its utilitarian looks, but curves don't bother me much. Lack of visibility does. I spent a week with a Evoque and the view out the back is a little painful. Fun to drive when going forward ;)
