    Looking for floor jack recommendations

    I picked up this jack the other weekend and it worked great. But she's got a pretty big foot print on the garage floor... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-4-ton-low-profile-high-lift-service-jack/p-00950168000P?plpSellerId=Sears&prdNo=3&blockNo=3&blockType=G3

    Sunroof shade - solid instead of mesh

    The OEM shade is awesome. Fits perfect, sturdy, keeps out the heat. Definitely worth the cost. I have black interior with dark blue exterior, so the shade is a must.

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    My 2012 LR4 is with the Dealer right now for some warranty/recall work, and they've got me in a SCV6 2016. The engine strikes me as very sluggish and choppy. Not a big fan.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Rescuing my wife from her stuck Subie a few weeks ago. Denver got walloped by a few feet of snow last month. With the Wrangler Duratracs, the LR4 cruised through it like a tank.

    Micro-Start XP-10 jump starter - Tested, it works great

    Inspired by this thread, I picked one of these up last fall (via asking my wife to give it to me for my birthday, haha). It sat unused in my car for a while, but walking out of BJ's a few months back, there was a nice family (who had been sitting behind us in the restaurant) trying to start...

    TPMS question....

    I had to deal with this issue when I was mounting a set of summer tires on a set of RRS wheels. Definitely had to find 315mhz TPMS to match my 2012 LR4. It also complicated my search for summer wheels. There were lots of 2014 LR4 takeoff deals out there, so you'd get new wheels, new tires, but...

    How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?

    This is what I was talking about.

    How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?

    If the Odyssey is even a consideration, wouldn't a more mom-friendly SUV be a better alternative? She's better off comparing the Odyssey to a Pilot or a Toyota Highlander.

    Factory recall: Glass panel roof on 12/13 LR4

    Fun! Yep, pretty sure mine was built in Sept 2012. At least it's only 492 vehicles, maybe I won't have a hard time getting the service done. Probably get to drive around an Evoque for a week.

    Factory recall: Glass panel roof on 12/13 LR4

    I did a search, and didn't see this being discussed. Got a letter from LRNA the other day, said there's a recall on the 2012 and 2013 LR4 for an issue with the glass panel roof. Apparently there's a risk they weren't installed properly at the factory, and can leak water, and in the worst...

    different tire pressures front vs rear tires?

    I said "favor" in my message, but that word is probably a little strong. We all know that the fronts are doing most of the work, but I think the service advisor was saying that the rears are getting a more-than-normal bias to prevent/reduce dive.

    different tire pressures front vs rear tires?

    FWIW, my service advisor told me that the rear brakes go first because the braking system favors the rear brakes in order to reduce nose dive. Which makes some sense to me given the vehicle's monstrous weight.

    Drying Mirrors

    I use a hybrid version of this approach. Let it drip dry and come back later with the quick detailer. I usually have to get the side vents, under the side mirrors, and then underneath the 3rd row glass at both corners. Also the rear end needs it, too. Oh well.

    DuraTracs!

    What size are your SAs? For some reason I didn't think the SAs were available in 255/55/19s when I was shopping (and I really wanted to keep that OEM profile). I don't regret getting the Duratracs, though. I was going to go with a snow tire for the winter no matter what, but now with my...

    DuraTracs!

    I ran my set of Duratracs (255/55/19) through the winter, and they destroyed the snow and ice. Great in bad weather. I ran them at 45psi all around to help with the super soft ride. It's the super soft ride that prompted me to swap back to "street" tires for the summer. The Duratracs suck the...

    2015 LR4 Car and Driver article

    Read that last night. Seems LR tried to keep the '4 fresh by dropping in a new engine, and saved some money by using a similar power plant to the RRS. Just couldn't drop more aluminum into the LR4 body, so the loss in power plus zero weight savings = slow truck. Happy I've got the V8 under my...

    Wheel Color Opinions

    How about glossy gun metal? The look would be meaner than the typical silver, but you wouldn't be getting into the full black-out mode that you'd have otherwise.

    Showoff Your LR4

    They were $1030 shipped, so that included the OEM wheels and the powdercoating. The vendor even powdercoated the centercaps. I'm super happy with the look.

    Non-LR4 Land Rover OEM wheel options

    Update! 19x9 RRS wheels on 255/55/19. They're great.
