1st prolonged experience off road with my lr4
Not saying that any of you should be satisfied with the 19" wheels, but this video might interest you. It's a 4x4 television program in South Africa where the host takes a stock LR4 over Baboon's Pass—supposedly the most difficult trail in S. Africa. The only other vehicles on the expedition... -

Changed Side Vents to Black
I agree with this—everything in matte/satin black would look awesome! -

PlastiDipped Wheels!
Wow! I would've never thought I would like black wheels. I ALWAYS prefer stock, but this looks incredible. I think it's the combination of the matte finish and stock design that I like. -

why and why not should I buy LR4
I have to agree with you on that. I feel the interior is nice enough, but nowhere near where a $40,000+ vehicle needs to be. I will say, the fit is impeccable. Everything is very solid and well put together—no rattles or squeaks at all. -

why and why not should I buy LR4
I'll throw in my two cents- After spending a few months trying to decide between a 2012 LR4 HSE and a 2012 4Runner Limited, I went with the 4Runner. I thought, for the money I was spending, the 4Runner was a much better value and the "smarter" purchase. After owning the T4R for six months... -

This reminds me of the Seinfeld where Kramer and the proctologist's vanity plates got swapped at the DMV. Kramer was driving around with plates that said ASSMAN. -

leather cleaner
I've heard awesome things about 303 Aerospace Protectant for plastic/vinyl/rubber, so I went to their website to do a little research. They actually recommend using Lexol on unfinished leather, which it appears the LR4's might have. Here are a few quotes from their FAQ page: With regards to... -

Land Rover Sucks!
Funny -- I continue to see 10-15 year old Range Rovers and Discoverys all over the place. Pieces of junk... Most people who drive Land Rovers accept and understand the fact that their vehicles will have some annoying problems during their ownership. Annoying problems are a lot different... -

LR4 Ordering/Build/Delivery tracking process?
ChicagoSammo, Thanks for the info. I never had a problem with the deposit -- perfectly acceptable on a $50,000-$65,000 vehicle. What I was a little surprised with was the lack of communication between Land Rover Corporate and my dealer. It was basically: tell us what you want, give us... -

LR4 Ordering/Build/Delivery tracking process?
How often does LR put out "order calls?" I notified my dealer that I wanted to order a 2012 HSE two weeks ago, but the order still hasn't been placed. I get the feeling there's not much rhyme or reason as to when this occurs. Is it all based on production and inventory levels? I've also been... -

If I remember correctly from my LR3, the default PIN/pairing code for Land Rovers is "2121." -

One beep when car locks
Just re-read this part. I would not want that option enabled. Think I'll just rely on hearing the doors physically lock and watching the lights flash. -

One beep when car locks
baobay, Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for something much more subtle than that. I definitely don't want to alert the whole state that I've locked my vehicle. -

2012 Updates
One change that I came across when ordering my '12 is that passive keyless entry comes standard on the HSE now. I think in previous model years, you had to purchase the LUX package. -

One beep when car locks
Question for those of you who enabled this option: When you lock your LR4, is their an actual "chirp" sound (like on Audi's, VW's, BMW's), or does the horn beep? I remember the double chirp when a door was left ajar on my LR3 being extremely loud since the noise came from the horn. Don't... -

getting a new LR4..help!
I think he's referring to LR's corporate policy of not allowing their dealers to sell vehicles out of state to prevent in-house competition. From what I understand, if dealerships do this too often, their vehicle allocations can be lowered. I had an out-of-state dealer politely refer me back... -

getting a new LR4..help!
I'm of the opinion, and I think many on this forum will agree, that you should always go with the vehicle and options you had your mind set on in the beginning. Don't settle for a vehicle with different options just because the dealer convinces you otherwise -- you will regret it in the long... -

Previous LR3 owners - any regrets getting an LR4?
PaulLR3, I had an '08 LR3 SE for 2 years, and the only problem I had was with the sunroof motor dying (it took the dealership 3 times to finally fix it). However, I never really considered this a big deal, and would definitely classify my LR3 as reliable. I sold it a year ago because I was...
