So I am seriously considering a LR4. I will be taking it into the trails of Moab and Colorado. Primarily because it rides so well and is perfect in so many ways for the task at hand. I am concerned about several things.
1) Underbody protection? Is it adequate? I put nice thick skid plates on my Xterra and bent a transmission crossbar on my Tundra (it had all stock plates). The bend was minor and didn't requires replacement. Do I need to factor in better underbody parts on a LR4? I am not a reckless guy. But things happen on the trail. How sturdy is the LR4 protection.
2) Am I going to wear out the LR4 suspension off roading it a couple time a months. Basically, is it sturdy enough. Air suspension is making me nervous. But frankly that is why the LR4 is no nice in the end.
3) Anything I should just "Have". I am thinking of some real rocker panel protection. That was about it.
In the end, other then the the small bend from a rock on the Tundra. It was a great truck. It did nearly everything I wanted it to do. But it was way to big. So the LR4 is a much nicer tidier option.
