Showoff Your LR4
It was at Summit Point Motorcross Parkway in West Virginia. They have a bunch of trails used for training of the military. You can't 4x4 there as an individual unfortunately, only with chartered groups. It was a lot of clay(ish) mud, but was definitely fun. Especially the pit of despair... -

Showoff Your LR4
A few pics from Recent LR Off Road Event in WV Was fun times! Several folks with flat tires and one ripped rear bumper. I got away with just a few pin stripes and a great day. -

Uh Oh! Help with diagnosing sudden offroad LR4 Trauma?
So, It turns out there wasn't any issue the dealer could find. Which perplexes us. We clearly saw the clear liquid, the car definitely almost shut down, error messages popped up, the suspension automatically lowered, terrain mode reset and the car drove funny for the remainder of the trip... -

Uh Oh! Help with diagnosing sudden offroad LR4 Trauma?
Hey Folks, So, took the LR4 on the beach today. We are on vacation in the Outer Banks away from home and any dealerships. I let my other half drive because she has a blast. And I'm not just saying that. We did some dunes and then we went on a bunch of soft sand that might have had ruts... -

Show off your Discover 4/LR4
A few shots in Carova Beach, North Carolina with shot of a wild horse on a dune. -Willie -

Snow mode
Great question. I actually had a bad experience last month with snow mode. Might have been driver error of course. But basically about 20-30 feet behind a vehicle in front of me stopped at a stoplight. I was going maybe 10-15 mph as I approached and hit the breaks. The car just started... -

Multitude of problems
So, I've put my LR4 through alot, I have 10k miles, and I look for trouble. I took it too ******** on the beach a few months ago and have had some problems. I blew out the front light fixture. I've also been thru a few dealer events and some other random 'offroading'. I'm all stock... -

different tire pressures front vs rear tires?
I don't know for sure but a quick guess is that the standing or potential (if towing?) load on the rear tires is greater than that up front? -

2011 LR4 Voice Controls
It's very bizarre that they just got rid of it like that. Almost suspicious. I can say though you aren't missing much. Have never used it successfully and when I've tried it does bizarre things. It's mostly good for a laugh with family in the car to try and get it to do something you actually... -

Should I Change Vehicles?
Get the LR4! But yeah, wait a year and it will depreciate lots. Or get it now and enjoy it for a year more ;) Just don't regret your decision. I have 10k miles on mine, and have gone offroading. I think I beat it up a little too much over the last few weeks at the beach, but thanks to... -

Hood Wind Deflector Install
Wow. Very seamless. Awesome job. I have the white LR4, I do love the black though. So what precisely are you gaining from this install? Just less bugs to the windshield? -

Leaving tires at low PSI?
Allodial, Clearly I don't have the experience you do on beaches since you live on one. But I can say that just about every forum and 'expert' i've run across has said the #1 thing you can do to prevent getting stuck is to air down. Even the locals in Carolla/Carova who go back and forth every... -

Jeep Wrangler vs. LR4
Thanks for the input all! Disco Mike --> Nope, I haven't been around rovers much at all. Except the last 6 months. But it's been a blast. Rob --> You always find amazing information. That really helps understand things. I've been out at the beach here for 2 weeks. I've seen probably 100... -

Query about approaching flooded dips in off roads
Thanks Rob and Captain Spalding! Advice taken! I'm in the middle of nowhere (can't even get the car washed) so no dielectric grease around here, nor time for me to figure out how to use it and where to put it (and most importantly where NOT to put it) as I'm not yet a gearhead with this... -

Query about approaching flooded dips in off roads
Is it bad then when the water comes over the top of the hood of the car? Is the idea to create the perfect wake outwards? Feels easy if you are crossing a stream, but more difficult when you are confronted with a road that has an unknown depth and a sudden drop of murky waters. I actually did...
