    wcryer how challenging are the trails you're hitting? We're moving up to Thornton in August and would like to get in on some of that trail riding action. Right now I'm rolling on Mich Latitudes....

    OK, what am I missing here? OP is getting fog lights installed with "special white" PIAA bulbs and everyone is waiting for pictures?? What's the big deal again?

    P*ss poor gas mileage

    Where you drive also matters a lot. Living in, pretty flat, Central Florida we easily knock down 20-23 on the highway @ 70-75 MPH with our LR3. We visited family in Tallahassee and our MPG dropped to a dismal 16-18 MPG at the same speeds. The tranny liked to downshift a lot on the hills. Never...

    What more aggressive tires

    I'd say the tire that will fit the bill the best would be the Pirelli Scorpion ATR. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=Scorpion+ATR&partnum=555HR9SCORATR&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

    Colorado

    The family and I will be in Denver June 19-24 for a little vacation, interviewing, and house hunting. We're driving up from Orlando, stopping in Nashville, TN. and Junction City, KS. along the way, to visit family and friends. We'll hopefully be moved to Colorado this summer. We're currently...

    100 Degrees in NYC and my AC is semi cold??

    If you're having to recharge the system periodically, you have a leak. What's most likely happening is your system is cutting out due to low suction pressure. It's a safety feature to help the compressor from going out. Best bet is to take it to a certified A/C repair facility and have them...

    Hood shakes while on highway

    I lubricated my latch mechanisms with a little WD-40. Feel free to use the lubricant of your choice. Not too much though, it'll act as a dust magnet, in excess. ;)

    Hood shakes while on highway

    Open the hood and lubricate the latches. My hood would do the same thing. There are two latches. Also close it with a little UMPH!

    New To Land Rover, HSE or HSE LUX?

    So you've spent 50K+ on something that, to your own admission, is only worth $5,000, at best. So where does it end? Why not keep it ten more years? I'll tell you why. It's not getting any newer. You have to admit that you've been pretty lucky, as far as the reliability of that BMW. Others are...

    New To Land Rover, HSE or HSE LUX?

    Back on topic... Get the vehicle you want with the options you want. You're going to have to spend the money. May as well spend it on what makes you happiest. If the HSE can fill that bill and you will never put a lusty eye on the LUX at the other end of the parking lot, get the HSE with the...

    New To Land Rover, HSE or HSE LUX?

    I never said it was cheaper. How and what you negotiate in your deal for your specific vehicle is up to you. How good are your negotiating skills? Simply put, you are purchasing debt and liability in one instance and the right to use a vehicle for a set amount of time and distance in another...

    New To Land Rover, HSE or HSE LUX?

    You should never look at the vehicle you drive, that's registered to you, for your explicit use, that you pay for monthly as an asset or an investment. It's hands down, a LIABILITY, period end of story. We, ourselves haven't leased a vehicle, but it's a great option. We buy our vehicles with a...

    Fingerprints on Door - Help!

    I use Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover. It works great at neutralizing those finger print marks by pulling any car wash soap residue off of those semi-gloss black pieces, which is the exact purpose I bought it for. Also, here in Central Florida we have a HUGE LoveBug problem in the spring. They can...

    Interior/Exterior Cleaning Product recommendations

    DISH SOAP! That's a huge no-no. That will absolutely destroy any and all waxes, protectants, and natural sealants of your factory paint's clearcoat over time. Your clear coat will lose it's luster and it will become more susceptible to road abrasions, pollutants, acid rain, etc... Dish soap is a...

    LR3 Subwoofer

    I've done just that. Most of my rattle was coming from the mounting plate hardware for the license plate. I used HushMat inside the tailgate around that area. It really helped. I picked the Hushmat up off of Amazon for about 18 bucks. I also applied the HushMat to the areas where I removed the...

    LR3 Subwoofer

    J.D. Yes the sub is in the tailgate. I'd say it's a 10". Basically a free-air setup. No baffles or enclosure per say, just the whole tailgate. Here's a pic i took of it when I repaired the notorious liftgate cable problem...

    How long does it take you to detail your LR4

    I use Zymol Leather Cleaner then Leather Conditioner: http://www.amazon.com/Zymol-Z-507-Leather-Cleaner-Conditioner/dp/B000F7VKD4 Great product. I've been using it for years. It's a two step, easy application process that smells great. It does not leave that heavy film that you get with most...

    How long does it take you to detail your LR4

    My LR3 gets a nice serving of the clay bar annually and every four months or so it gets Zymol cleaner wax then polish. 4.5 hours is easily par for the course. It gets a nice hand wash and spray wax weekly, if not more. I hear, "I like you new Land Rover!" a lot.... and it has 94,000 miles on it...
