    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    [Your POD reference is lost on me. :hmmmm2: A while ago, Lucas Electronics used to handle a lot of the electrical work on the older land rovers. They received a reputation for failure.....leaving you in the dark...hence prince of darkness. Google it...there are tons of jokes out there, one...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    I have had the duratracs for about 2 years or so and love them. Slight increase in noise, but nothing to worry about. No issues with load rating and they have performed great in the Mojave and on a few ski trips. I would strongly recommend them....but, I wonder if the Duratracs are still an...

    Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)

    So, up until a few months ago, the iPod plug under the armrest worked great, and charged relatively quickly. Now, it shows it's charging, but really doesn't. Everything does connect....i supposed it might be a fuse. Anything plugged into the aux/cigarette slots charge fine. After owning the...

    Drove the new Discovery and I'm totally confused now.

    I had a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with all the bells and whistles. It was LL after @7 months and I immediately bought my 2012 LR4. While on paper, the JGC looks great, at the highest setting, the suspension was atrocious, and things started breaking almost immediately. In fact, it...

    Cooper Zeon LTZ Off-Road tires on Stock 19" Wheels

    I have had my duratecs for about a year, also very happy and a great option if you would prefer not to go 18" and all the issues that do me with that...

    DuraTracs!

    The purpose of my post was to talk about AT options if you didn't want to go the 18in route...I think 18 Comp's are the better route, but the ROI just wasn't there for me...

    Picked Up new LR4 yesterday

    how much did they charge you for the extended warranty? The 3rd row seat process isn't that bad, I use it all the time...

    DuraTracs!

    I didn't think they had silent armors in that size...and nothing in our size shows up on the GY website...in fact, there seems to be fewer options than there were a few years ago...are they being phased out? I briefly had them on my Grand Cherokee before it was lemon lawed and was quite...

    DuraTracs!

    I realize its subjective, but I am very happy with my 19in DuraTrac's. I went back and forth on what to do, and as I have become a lazy poser, I just couldn't justify the expense of 19 in wheels and a rear bumper (not a fan of airing down and putting a slightly bigger tire under the truck)...

    LUX or HD?

    gibson: No, I just got a HSE (not a lux) back in 2012. It didn't come with xenons. Unsure what the trims are like now. Don't want to go on the website and get tempted!

    LUX or HD?

    For me, HD was absolutely required. Its the reason I went to a LR4 vs any of the other lux SUV's....that being said, I had a very hard time finding one with HD and as a result I had next to nothing in bargaining power when negotiating. I was happy with the HSE trim, but would have loved the...

    Cooper Zeon LTZ Off-Road tires on Stock 19" Wheels

    3-4mpg less.... I wonder how much of that is the tire type vs going to a larger size. The range already sucks on LR4 :)

    Cooper Zeon LTZ Off-Road tires on Stock 19" Wheels

    ahhh...I get it. A private party used salt, not the CHP or Caltrans, etc. I have been going to Big Bear during the winter for the last few years (as my kids got old enough to ski...on man made snow). I don't think I have ever needed a 4WD vehicle, there has been so little snow. I am in the...

    Cooper Zeon LTZ Off-Road tires on Stock 19" Wheels

    Not that it is relevant, but I don't think we salt roads in socal. Do we have any one who has put some miles on GY duratecs yet? or...GY adventures (I think those are the only two other options for AT besides the Coops)?

    LR4 car camping / dead battery

    So, i car camp a lot and have had my battery fail on me twice and require a jump start. LR diagnosed it as a bad battery and swapped it out...the car was about 2 years old. As far as i can tell, the key fob was not very close to the vehicle over the weekend...but, about two months later...

    LRNA comes thru finally but...

    Interesting. So, about 2 years ago, i was in the same situation, but from a different viewpoint. I had a 2012 loaded grand cherokee overland. I had problems right from the start, but about 7 months in, the air suspension failed. after 1 month of failed attempts to fix, i found the # of the...

    Heated windshields

    Thanks umbertob. I had a bad battery and brought the truck in on Tuesday, they were aware of the SA bulletin and are doing the "recall" on the fuse as we speak :) I knew about it last January, but SoCal weather didn't really give me a reason to get on it :)

    Price for 2year Service and rear brakes

    As I always complain about dealer prices, its probably only fair to mention when they do me a solid. They matched someone else's coupon and gave me $150 off my total 2year svc + rear brakes bill. Props to my local LR Dealer! And I didn't even have to burn half a tank of gas to drive up to...

    Price for 2year Service and rear brakes

    Thanks for the responses. Funny enough, the local Indy that specializes in Rovers wanted $370....I might just do it myself, but with 4mm left, i think i will wait a bit. any idea when the sensor trips (2mm?)

    Price for 2year Service and rear brakes

    I brought my 2012 LR4 in for a warranty repair (bad battery and problem with heating element on front windsheild). I was conned into doing my 2 year service 1 month earlier (I might have even gone longer as I only have 17k miles on her). The cost for the service was @$500. How does that...

    Transparent Hood Technology

    I agree, just another example of technology causing us to outsource or lose jobs. No need to bring extra people in your car to act as spotters....this is horrible! :) Amazing technology....at this rate I wonder if i will ever be able to afford to replace my 2012 LR4 :)
