Maintenance Questions
Had the same issue with a jeep and 35" Mickey T's. Funny thing was it happened shortly after a tire rotation and balance. I took it in for a rotation and high speed balance to a shop that works on off road vehicles, lifts etc… High speed balance is more precise when using off road tires plus... -

Transmission Fault light at 2500 miles - MY14 LR4 Lux
Dan - If you think about it, the 14 is kind of like buying a first run. New engine new tranny. Likely new wiring harness etc… The issue in this thread could be random, or not. The 14's have not been around long enough to determine any statistical significance. -

Stainless Steel Sill Tread Plates
My wife picked up a set of the LR sill tread plates for her LR4. I popped them in over the weekend. The quality of the product is good but the price is a bit high. Word of caution if you intend to install , these have a 3M glue tape backing so be very careful when you place these as you have... -

Swirl Marks - The Cure
Take a closer look at step number 2. Wolfgang Polish enhancer is a cleaner wax. Cleaner waxes are designed to remove contaminents. Wolfgang products have been around for 25 years and have an excellent reputation. Clay bars works great but they do not help hide the swirl marks. Which was the... -

Swirl Marks - The Cure
No clue why, only in certain areas. I suspect heavy usage of a drive through car wash combined with poor waxing techniques. To be clear, it was an option to polish them out but I wanted to see if I could just hide them with caranuba wax which worked just fine. I am not really sure what the clear... -

Swirl Marks - The Cure
I am familiar with clay bars. I have used them on a few cars in the past, however this is not a thread about using clay bars. As mentioned I had my buddy come over who has a PTD and we took several readings and determined that since some spots were around 1Mil and even .5-.8 It just was not... -

Swirl Marks - The Cure
I recently purchased a 2012 LR4 with the Buckingham Blue paint. After driving it around for a week or so I began to notice some pretty severe swirl marks. Considering the vehicle is in otherwise mint condition the culprit was likely heavy usage of an automatic car wash that used some type of... -

LR4 vs MDX "Ride" on washboard and moderately rough roads?
Dan - I do not think you will find any stock configuration of shock, tires springs, leaf coil etc…that is set to make washboard roads a comfortable ride. I think Umberto nailed it, air down set to 4WD HI and go as fast as you can safely and slow down for turns. If you do not have a compressor... -
