    1st prolonged experience off road with my lr4

    Grizzld...nice video. Interesting comments about airing up on low profile tires...but I did notice they had what i believe are wranglers, not the "street" conti's we get in the US :) That being said, not bad. But it could have been so much easier if you just had 265/65/18's and say a base...

    1st prolonged experience off road with my lr4

    Hi David, So far, i havent approached doing anything even remotely beyond "moderate off roading", I just dont trust the thin sidewalls. Manoftaste, in my eyes, hit it on the head perfectly. Out in San Diego, we have alot of desert driving. You are following old dried out river beds or...

    1st prolonged experience off road with my lr4

    After an embarrassingly long time, @ 5months, I finally had the opportunity to wheel a bit in the Anza Borrega area this weekend. A few of us separated from the group we were with and ventured out. I swapped passengers a few times and everyone was impressed on how solid the vehicle felt through...

    Changed Side Vents to Black

    If he isnt, there is going to be a long queue for all of his mods! Looks great, how much were the side vents...and grill?

    2013???

    They are fairly easy to install, yet I managed to slightly screw it up. The only reason I would recommend having a dealer do it is risk vs reward. Some folks, and dealers, have cracked the glass roof during installation. Thats probably a fairly expensive mistake. I am sure you could get it...

    iphone

    i wonder about the new connector. So, its just one end that changed, the side that connects to the phone. I believe the new lighting cable has the same usb connection at the other end. So you wont need an adapter to connect to an LR4, you just use your new cable....now, what sort of commands...

    iphone

    Did anyone upgrade their iPhones while owning a LR4? Just curious if it was trouble free, or if you needed to wait for an update from LR to use all the functions of the new phone (wired and Bluetooth) Right now, my iPhone 4 works flawlessly with my 2012 lr4....Unsure if i want to be an early...

    Pleasantly surprised by gas mileage

    I find my computer is about 1.5mpg more optimistic than my manual calculations...the mpg is not ver good, and as a result, the range of a tank, under city driving conditions is very poor

    Reverse camera

    So, i get into my LR4 on friday, get the kids in the car seats, and put the car in reverse. I have been trying to focus on using the rear camera instead of turning my head, but old dogs have a tough time with new tricks. Looking at the camera, all i see are trees. Whats going on? Why dont I...

    Noticing seal cracking around the sunroof

    I took my old Disco 1 to a LR specialist (not the dealer) a few hundred miles/weeks before my warranty ran out. They provided a very detailed list of faults (mainly leaks and a failing alternator) which I brought to the local LR dealer and had fixed right before the warranty ran out. Perhaps...

    IIDTool / EAS Control module for LR4

    Hi David, Doing well. Just came back from a week in Tahoe. I forgot how nice it is up there during the summer. Although I have nothing to compare it to, the interface on my 2012 is pretty nice. I will pull up an older owners manual to check out the 2010/11 interface Cheers, Chris

    Real-Time Tank Range and Mileage Estimator?

    Yep, you still get an instant reading...but if the average reading is any guide, its wrong (at least in my truck). I just came back from a 1,200 mile road trip (San Diego - Vegas - Lake Tahoe - San Diego) and the average mpg was always @2mpg higher than my manual calculations. In fact the mpg...

    what is the difference between the 2010/11 and 2012 instrument cluster? (I have the 2012)?

    Roof Advice for a newbie

    Obdoc, I am, at best, moderately mechanically inclined, and except for one issue, had no problems installing the short roof rails. It's not a big deal...just realize, some members, and some dealers, have managed to crack the glass roof during install. Thats a pretty expensive mistake...

    Reserve light, distance to empty....

    I didn't think you were flippant (well, maybe just a bit :biggrin: ), I should have mentioned I did look at the manual. It confirmed that I have a 23g tank. Although I didn't notice until this morning that the warning lamp section states that the low fuel warning light comes on when you have...

    Reserve light, distance to empty....

    Yeah, well its probably zero highway miles, never over 40mph, just shuffling the kids around. I work from home, so sadly its probably the worst circumstances for getting better gas mileage. I have a long road trip next week, so we will see what I get... So, doesn't it seem a bit strange? You...

    Reserve light, distance to empty....

    Typically, how much fuel is left when the reserve light comes on? My car is still fairly new, but I typically end up putting @18 gallons in her when I fill up. Yesterday, I had averaged around 13.5mpg, and had about 30 miles until empty on the computer. I put in 18.3g. A quick google...

    Flexible Loadspace protector (Part No: VPLAS0002) to contain dog hair?

    I have the rigid loadspace protector (not the flexible one you referenced) and a very long haired 95lb golden retriever. This protector covers the floor. It doesnt cover the back of the 2nd row seats, or the rear carpet on the tailgate (which yours would). You will see dog hair...especially...

    iPhone Bluetooth Override

    so, I have a iPhone 4 and a 2012 HSE with sat/hd, but not logic 7. I didn't seem to have the problem that you describe. I have my phone connected via BT and typically default to bt also streaming my music. Today, i was listening to sirius and also periodically taking calls via BT. I then...

    Previous LR3 owners: Is the LR4 A/C as good as the LR3 A/C?

    I agree. I am amazed at how good the AC is, especially in the 2nd and 3rd rows. Well over a dozen vents, two compressors, very impressed. It seems the AC works just as well in the second row as up front....

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

    The trouble with the 18's is that its not just the 2k for the wheels, or 1,200 for the tires, its where do you mount the 5th wheel? If you go to that much expense and effort to get the 18's, you probably won't put a stock size on it...then you need to mount the tire on your rack or buy the rear...
