    Selling the LR4

    I completely agree with the group therapy angle. I have thought more than once that I enjoy posting here to a group of LR4 enthusiasts just to knock ideas around. Sort of like sitting around over a beer with like minded folk.

    Selling the LR4

    Always a bit mystified by sellers struggling to come up with an asking price for the mighty LR4. I know as well as anyone that it becomes a good friend over the years but still… I’ve had my 2012 on the ‘sell block’ before and pulled it back off, but you need to find a price you can live with and...

    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    The Pioneer unit I have does a good job. Better screen, better audio… CarPlay connects most of the time. You do lose most of the 4x4 screen functions and the internal clock is a challenge to keep on time (Pioneer HU has all the time you need), but for 99% of what I use daily, significant...

    Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?

    Really great input all. I don’t have any problem installing myself now that I hear what’s involved. I’m not in the perfect situation currently, ‘garage wise’, but I have a lift that will do the job and I’m sure I can cajole a buddy into helping. FYI… the indy LR shop is saying labor will be...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Going to the 18s and the KO2s 265/65 has made for an even better snow machine.

    Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?

    I had a brief moment of madness when I thought I would sell the LR4 and get a Defender… it passed. I see it having a life as a treasured third vehicle down the road - ready for select adventures throughout the Rockies. I drove it from Colorado to the east coast and back last October - bit of a...

    An hour total? This includes removal of the original bumper? Local LR indy shop must be charging close to 1.5 days labor

    Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?

    Yes, some great access out this way and the 4x4 look is quite a bit more common in these parts. You having done the chain(s) would be a big relief. If I just do it myself that makes it a lot more tolerable. Anyone ever use a hitch mount for a dirt bike with the Tactical? I’m guessing it’s...

    Hmmm… I had no idea it was that easy. I would be doing it by myself as well. That would make a big difference. This is why I throw things out here

    Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?

    Yea, well, I’m not putting this on myself and labor is the equal of the parts so… it’ll be in that range.

    It’s definitely a ‘gut’ call but sometimes throwing it out there to this group yields new insights. The ‘investment’ in the rear bumper is in the 25% of total vehicle worth category I think. It’s a great adventure vehicle, no doubt.

    Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?

    Woukd be interested in hearing thoughts on spending an easy $4k on a Tactical 4x4 rear bumper and tire carrier. My LR4 has been super low maintenance and reliable but she’s getting up there in miles. Am I nuts to make this investment now (I really like the Tactical offering and woukd like to get...

    A good thread never dies… I just replaced the fogs and the low beams with the Phillips Crystal Vision H11s and what an improvement! After 10 years it was time for a refresh. Thanks to all who contributed on this thread.
