    Full Length Roof Rails Bright Finish

    Could be. I have my Yakima crossbars as far forward as possible on the short rails. If I move them back at all, my ski box will hit the tail gate

    iPhone IOS 5 WARNING

    I could be wrong, but my understanding is that Bluetooth audio quality can't be as good as direct cabling. But I'm a little fussy about audio. How does it sound?

    Full Length Roof Rails Bright Finish

    I've got the short rails, but I can tell you that my Yakima crossbars start whistling at 70mph+.

    Potential buyer - leather stain question

    We have a 2011 LUX with almond interior and I don't see any stains. Maybe we don't wear jeans that much? I actually prefer the "rugged" leather that you get with the non-LUX trucks. I wish that were an option for the LUX. We go mountain biking, surfing, hiking, skiing, etc. and have 2...

    2011 LR4 HSE vs LUX package

    Really? I always thought the Alaska White was the creamier looking one. Which white am I thinking of?

    continental 4x4 contact review tirerack.com

    I don't plan on buying them again, but they came with the truck and only have 5k miles on them, so I don't want to replace them yet unless they are going to be dangerous. Thoughts?

    continental 4x4 contact review tirerack.com

    Anyone else have any opinions about the Contis in the snow? I have season tickets for Mammoth this coming year (mountain opens in a little over a month!!!) and don't want to get stuck or wind up off the road. They get MAJOR snow up there. Will I be ok?

    Swagman XTC4 Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Review

    got any pictures of that thing folded up? Maybe it'll fit in the glovebox ;)

    Swagman XTC4 Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Review

    Capt: I think the smallest is 20" using the included adapter. So, good point, that is another drawback of the Kuat. My youngest just moved up from a 20" to a 24" wheel, so that's not an issue for me.

    Swagman XTC4 Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Review

    I think I may have posted this in another thread (I can't remember), but I bought the Kuat NV platform rack and HIGHLY recommend it. I've loaded all combinations of bikes, including road bikes, beach cruisers, kids bikes, and big beefy new all-mountain MTBs with ease - with plenty of room...

    LR4 Radio keeps going out!

    I had that happen once. No idea what causes it. Seems like a software glitch that should be fixed through some sort of update.

    Failed to start @!@

    Check p. 10 of the 2011 LR4 owner's manual. I don't know how to post a piece of a pdf, but there is a picture of how to replace the battery, and says: To renew the battery: 1. Press and hold the release button. 2. Open the side cover. 3. Remove the battery drawer and remove the battery...

    Failed to start @!@

    That's not true. There is a battery in the key fob, although you should get a "low battery" warning in the dashboard display, as stated in the owner's manual.

    Update for the Owners of this Beautiful Truck!

    I don't think it does, but it definitely should.

    Update for the Owners of this Beautiful Truck!

    I might be wrong, but I think that's wishful thinking on your part. My impression is that Sport mode just re-maps the transmission program to prefer lower gears.

    Do all LR dealerships provide a loaner vehicle when doing warranty repairs?

    I haven't brought mine in for servicing yet, but my dealer (Santa Monica) told me that they provide loaners (either LRs or Jags). Hopefully, that wasn't just a bunch of smoke : )

    iPad Stylus Pen = Awesome!

    ok - that's cool. My bigger complaint is that the Nav system itself is pretty wonky. I just took a 6 hour trip for vacation and set the Nav to my final destination. I already knew how to get to the town we were visiting, but I didn't know exactly where our rental house was, and I thought it...

    iPad Stylus Pen = Awesome!

    Maybe I'm just crude, but what's the big deal about pressing the "I agree" button? Who cares?

    Great roof rail design

    I wanted to also highly recommend the Kuat NV hitch-mounted bike carrier. I've got the NV + the 2-bike add-on, so I can use it in either 2 or 4 bike configurations. I won't give the long sales pitch here, but google it and let me know if you have any questions. I can probably post pictures...

    Great roof rail design

    After having owned Thule racks on my last 4 cars, I bought the Thule roof rack system with the fit kit for the LR4 factory rails. After trying to install it, I was disappointed with the design. First, the rectangular plates that slide into the rails are too small, so they spin around when you...

    Should I buy?

    I got a new bike rack a few weeks ago that I'm REALLY happy with, and because it's a bit obscure, I thought I would share it here. The rack is the Küat NV. It is a platform rack like the Thule T2, but with some different features. The basic rack holds 2 bikes, but you can buy an add-on kit...

    Order new LR4, Wait or Compromise?

    Well, I wound up "compromising" on color and getting the black truck this weekend. As it turns out, I really like it and don't feel like I compromised at all. Santorini Black w/ Almond Interior Lux, Heavy Duty, Vision Assist, LoJack, short roof rails and trailer hitch installed. I didn't...
