Is HD package so useful in snow?
I live in a Colorado ski resort and have a 2016 non-HD version. I have the Hakkapeliitta studs and this thing is a tank and way better than my wife's Allroad with Blizzaks. If I were shopping and there were comparable HD/Non-HD versions, I would go for the HD just because, but I would not be... -

Where does a failing front crossover leak?
You did this all in 2 hours? That’s the V8 though, right? The whole supercharger removal makes the V6 take 3x that long? Or more? I’m afraid to open up my LR V6 for a month of Sundays. At that point $2k at my local is starting to feel like a bargain. -

2015 V6 coolant pipes done. Pics of old pipes
That’s a great piece of mind, I’ve known people who lost their (V8) engines to this issue. My 2014 V6 here in Colorado is at about 65,000 miles. My local independent said he “looked” at it and it looks ok for now, but I’m not sure I want to trust it much longer. Do the normally leak a little... -

PCV refresh/replacement
Hi all! I am so glad I did a quick search of this forum before going to find a local mechanic. This was my exact issue, 2014 V6 LR4. Roaring to life on 90% of starts, straight up to 3,000 RPM's. Quite embarrassing, I got a lot of "DUDE! What the hell is wrong with your car?" comments. It took... -

HD vs non-HD package LR4
Ok, I am prepared to be seriously flamed here... I bought a 2014 Lux without the HD 3 years ago and I live in Colorado. I regularly camp in the local mountains and my non HD has gotten me everywhere I needed to be, through ruts, sand, rocky mountain terrain. But I have never had any wheels off... -

Nokian Hakka
A bit late to this party but I bought a 2014 LR4 about 2 1/2 years ago and it came with a set of studded Hakkapeliittas. I have lived in Aspen Colorado for over 20 years and had VW's, Audi's, a Hyundai Santa Fe and always swore by Blizzaks. After that first season on the studs my life was... -

Well crap!
Questions for the smart group: I have a 2014 V6 with 53,000 miles on it. When would you do the crossover pipe replacement? I am sure "RIGHT NOW" is the safe answer but realistically should I base it on mileage, age or a bit of both? The car started it's life in Boston and has been in the... -

More pics of the same. Who doesn't love a picture? -

Removed running boards
So I finally replaced mine with some cheap knockoffs from Ebay. I have a 2014 LR4 Lux that is the newer version with the LED headlights and a few other telltales. I thought this automatically meant the running boards were the beefier ones we discuss here being side impact protection and needed... -

ECO Light
I must admit, mine does not bother me other than the anxiety of what it's wearing out the fastest. But it's only minor anxiety, Tums can take care of it. I bought my 2014 2 years ago and the ECO never worked, and after reading all the chatter here I was ok with that. I replaced my main battery... -

Removed running boards
My running boards are rusting and I would like to take them off too so I'm interested in this thread. I have a 2014 HSE LUX. Came from the Boston area and I hear there is a lot of salt on the roads in winter that may have started some serious corrosion. I found this site so far. Keeping looking... -

Crossover Pipe - Replace Pre-Emptively?
My friend's 2011 just died with this exact issue I believe, the tube that has the tmp sensor was empty of water slowing the warning lights down even more (i will get more info if it's needed). Basically ruined his engine and left it for scrap. Now for the question, as I am a little scared right... -

Keyfob distance
Both of mine too ryanjl, 1 original and 1 I programmed with the IID Tool I found on Ebay I think. So it must be the power on the car not the key. Are we getting closer, or nowhere? :) -

Keyfob distance
Interesting theory avlash. I took my fob apart again and I was expecting something connecting the key holder to the antenna but it doesn't, it's all kept separate. There is a little coil in there that must be working otherwise it would not unlock at all IMO. No wiser, does anybody else have the... -

Keyfob distance
That sounds exactly like my issue, just a couple of years away from my level (I'm sorry to say). This seems like a very mechanical problem that should be an easy troubleshoot. I was about to ask where the transmitter is but found this, there are a lot...
