Rear Ladders on LR4
I know this is not a **** solution, but I literally just carry a thin folding step ladder with me when I have my cargo boxes on the roof. It's actually easier to access the front and doesn't interfere with the tailgate/hatch or the paint. But I guess I'm a nerd : ) Also, I just step on the... -

Finally finished, Bosch for Denso Infotainment Swap
Wow - that looks like a nightmare. Live and learn, right? -

H/K Logic7 system blown?
Definitely something wrong. I have a 2011 with the HK Logic7 system, and the sound is actually pretty good and plenty loud (for reference, I used to be into fairly high-end home audio, and on top of that, my hearing has deteriorated the last few years). I play almost everything over bluetooth... -

Wear & Tear hvac knobs - door armrest
I meant to follow up on this post last year. Sorry for the delay. The $18 Amazon replacement knobs are fantastic. You literally just pull the old knobs off and snap the new ones on. They look and feel like OEM knobs. However, I still have not repaired the door sills. Need to get that done... -

Wear & Tear hvac knobs - door armrest
There are a bunch of options now to deal with the sticky knobs. I just ordered these on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B097GYKB9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They look like exact replacements (i.e., not covers) for the 3 HVAC knobs. They should be here within... -

At Long Last... Modern head unit!
If your only issue is sound quality, you can get better sound through Tidal Master quality or Apple lossless -- and an infinitely better selection. Unless you have incredibly obscure taste in music, that shouldn't be an issue. I've thought about upgrading the head unit, but I have a hard time... -

Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4
This question is not that simple to answer. I drive up to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to ski and usually try to time it to hit big powder days, so I've been in the real deep stuff a lot of times (if you're not familiar, the Sierras can get absolutely buried -- they got about 200" last month... -

Will our LR4's be desirable in 10 - 15 years, or are they just another modern day LR?
I live in LA. Recently, the D5's have been multiplying like rabbits around here. Still not that common, but more and more every day. Back on topic, I think the V8's in particular will be somewhat sought after. Big boxy SUV with a big-ass V8 and legitimate off-road cred. I think there will... -

"Only Normal Height Available" display
LOL - I've got a 2011 LR4. I've been getting that message from time to time for several years now! I've never had it fixed. Never had any real problems. It always resets itself. If it's a problem with the air compressor, it can't be a very serious one. -

iPhone Cable Connection
This is the answer to all of your problems: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B52LLJ6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Works phenomenally well. Much better than the cord. it also allows you to charge the phone through a cigarette lighter adapter, which draws more power and... -

Possible Thule rack component: Free
Looks like it might be a paddle holder for a kayak or SUP paddle -- not sure though. I couldn't find it on line. -

BT Hack for Pre-2013 LR4's
I just bought the Bovee bluetooth adapter through Amazon. I'm amazed how well this works. It actually seems more responsive than the OEM cable I was using with my iPhone (starts playing faster, the steering wheel controls skip songs faster and the song display on the dash screen doesn't lag... -

Extended Warranty
I got a 4-year extension on my 2011 LR4 through USAA for around $3200, which was roughly half the price my dealer wanted. It easily paid for itself in the first year due to a slew of relatively minor problems. Fantastic warranty too - my dealer said it's the first warranty they have seen that... -

13 lr4 - does it have heavy duty?
Don't rely on the size of the spare. Anyone can add a full size spare. There aren't that many HDP LR4's out there (I know because it was really hard to find mine)
