    Front Runner Ladder Support a Hammock

    Quick question: Anyone ever hang a hammock off their LR4 rear ladder? I have a front runner ladder and would like to use it as an anchor for a camping hammock, but I'm curious if that's too much stress for the tailgate/rear hatch. Anyone ever try this? Thanks!

    @mm3846 Yeah, unfortunately it took me about 5 too many used car dealers to figure this out. I saw a lot of LR4s in the process, though. I am intrigued by your idea to see if I can hold the dealer accountable for their fixes and skip the warranty. Put that 3K into a "my Disco-don't-go" fund?

    Ah! I knew y'all would be helpful! Thank you! I've wanted an LR4 since 2009 and they aren't getting easier to buy. It's an awful time to buy a car but I don't want to put more money into my Jeep GC. The irony is I've only been considering 2013's bc of the timing chain issue. ...and we need a...

    Buying an LR4 from a Buick dealer?? Please help

    TLDR: "My question is, is this too good to be true? Should I not trust a Buick dealer shop to do timing chains on an LR4?": Hi! I've been lurking for a while and am thankful for all the info I've gleaned from this forum. I've been trying to buy an LR4 for a few months and I finally made a...
