    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    Just curious if anyone closed on their Grenadier? Ours arrived and I decided to pass on it for several reasons: 1. The steering was just not acceptable IMHO for anything other than off road and putting around a farm. 2. The price for what you got was just too much 3. (probably the biggest...

    Defender vs. Mazda mx5.

    Wow, shocked at how a little mazda flips this defender. People are talking about how well it was built, but getting flippled by a miata isn't something I'd be bragging about.

    Huge thanks to this forum. Land Rover has as new home.

    I've really enjoyed this forum for the last 7 years. We parted with our much loved LR4 Lux today. This forum has been so helpful. Our LR4 really had very few issues, but when I needed help, the forum always provided. The last request was the start/stop light. Forum members told me what to do and...

    getting that damn eco/stop start light off on the IP

    Hey all, Our stop/start quit working a few months into ownership. The dealer fixed it (for like 2 days) and we just say F-it and left it broken. The light was on. I think it is a yellow "ECO" light. That was over six years ago. Now, we are likely going to sell it and I want to get that gone if...

    Selling the LR4

    After six+ great years. we are selling our LR4 LUX. It's been a great vehicle, but the wife is ready for something new. I am heading to the Lincoln dealership to order her a new Navigator.

    Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4

    Taking a trip to our house in Northern Idaho. This is our first winter owning it. I would take the f350, but no sand bags that I could easily find, so we are taking the LR4. N. Idaho is due to get dumped on in the next few days. Six-12 inches with localized amounts to 18". I am thinking I can...

    finally making appointment for cross over pipe replacement

    Just received my notice to put my deposit down on a Grenadier

    Anyone else receive their invite to put down a deposit? It's $450 and I think it must be based on following them. I am putting a deposit down as it is fully refundable. This would be a lovely vehicle for our summer home in Northern Idaho.

    New Bronco will have manual option

    Looks like Ford is reversing course and adding a manual transmission to the Bronco with late 2021 availability. Wonder what the take rate will be on that since most likely won't see off road. That said, nice to see a manufacturer listening to their enthusiasts.

    Extended Warranty price $4,000. First repair $1795. 3 years to go

    Well, as I posted here 10 months ago, I ended up buying an extended service plan as my wife's 2015 LUX was coming off warranty at with 33k miles. I paid $4k for the warranty begrudgingly after telling my wife to go find a replacement vehicle and I don't care about the price. After an...

    Not my month...22k. Timing chain and coolant leak, thoughts.

    Well during the brake job the other day, I noticed a clickity clackity noise when I did a cold start on the LR4 (2015 v6) last weekend. It sounds a bit like putting a baseball card in your spokes when you were a kid. I'm pretty close to the dealer so I drove it by but by the time I got there the...
