    OEM rubber floor mats

    Depends on what you use the truck for. I got the OEM mats for all 3 rows and the cargo mat. We use it for skiing/snow and for putting the dogs in the back of the truck. I don't feel like I need the sidewalls. The OEM mats are pretty thick, and the grooves hold a fair amount of liquid as it is.

    My LR4 Update

    what types of dangers are these headlight guards supposed to guard against? (not being snotty - I really don't know)

    Surprised by poor snow performance

    How would you say they compare with the stock Contis for non-winter driving on paved roads and dirt? (e.g., road noise, mileage, grip, etc.) In other words, is there such a thing as a one-size-fits all tire that I can use all year, or do I need to get special snow tires for snow? My issue...

    whatever. I'm a fan of clean air and not relying on foreign oil. remember the 70's? the air sucked, the gasoline spread lead into the air and water supply (I'm not a fan of brain damage) and OPEC brought us to our knees. But hey, I guess I'm a Nazi because my second car gets good gas mileage.

    Accent LED Light Kit

    Agreed they are a huge rip-off. However, most insurance companies will give you a discount for DRLs (which these are), so it will offset some of the cost. So there's that.

    Surprised by poor snow performance

    I've taken my LR4 up to the Eastern Sierras 4 times this winter and still haven't gotten the opportunity to drive on snow (other than a brief foray onto a field with about 6 inches of crunchy old snow to turn around)! Such a bad snow year. Just in case (and to comply with the law up there)...

    Voyager Half-Rack Question

    I wouldn't take too much solace from this. I don't have an expedition rack, but when I have my round Yakima load bars on the roof (attached to the short roof rails behind the sunroof), they howl like crazy once you hit about 65-70 mph. It's almost unbearable. Interestingly, when I put two...

    That's a shame. Now nobody will ever know that it's a green SUV.

    for those with the vision assist option

    I thought Vision Assist was bi-xenon, as well, no?

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    I don't understand this at all. Different tools for different occasions. LR is great for certain expeditions. Prius is superior for commuting, errands, etc. Would you hire a carpenter who's tool bag was filled only with hammers, or would you prefer the worker with a variety of tools for...

    for those with the vision assist option

    I've got a 2011 with Vision Assist. The blue screen has popped up a few times, but hardly at all. It goes away very quickly. I haven't used the surround cameras too many times, but it's possible they could come in handy. The adaptive xenons and the rear camera tram lines are both...

    Nav Update

    Have you guys tried the Waze app on the iPhone? It's a pretty cool combination of turn-by-turn GPS and social networking. It uses data acquired passively and actively from other Waze users to provide real-time updates and re-routing due to traffic flow, accidents, construction, etc. Pretty...

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    You're the one who brought it up in the first place. This is becoming bizarro world. :stupid:

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    But then, by way of full disclosure, I would need to put another bumper sticker on my Prius that says: "Don't be Impressed by my MPG -- my other car is a Land Rover!"

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    This thread is about the cost of buying an LR4. Yet, somehow, you feel that it is appropriate to insult my other car and make a generalization about Prius drivers. Anyone know if this forum has an "ignore" feature?

    leather cleaner

    After a bunch of research on the 'net, I just ordered Leatherique based largely on the glowing recommendations of some guys on a Ferrari forum who seem to have used every product out there. They all agree that Leatherique is the best. Just ordered their kit from Amazon. I'll report back after...

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    Five and a half weeks to formulate your response, and that's the best you could come up with? :rolleyes: I'm not sure if you were attempting an insult or a joke, but it failed on both counts. Your attempt to avoid the substance of my post, however, did not go un-noticed. (And btw, the...

    Premium Fuel for LR4

    I find it funny that people would buy a $60,000 truck that gets terrible gas mileage and then try to save a few bucks by putting regular gas in it. I offset the gas issue by driving our Prius whenever I don't need the extra room or capabilities of the LR. When we're done with the Prius, I'll...

    Reversing Camera Tram Line Overlay

    Never knew that - thanks! That's pretty cool, and the picture and tram lines are great. Is the image processing the reason there is such a long lag between the time you shift into reverse and the time the image pops up on the screen? Takes much, much longer than our old Prius.

    Little feelings about the LR4.....

    With the 2011 models and earlier, you have to plug the iPod into the special iPod jack, not the USB port, and it only works with the Land Rover cable. It's a big rip off and should just be included with the car, but you can't get upset about a $125 cable in the context of a $50-60k truck.

    2012 LR4 decontenting?

    way to hi-jack this thread! and, as long as we're hi-jacking, I've never been able to get my auto-high beams to work. I have the option selected in the vehicle settings menu. Any tips?
