    Leaving LR... For now

    I actually think the new front facia of the Gx460 is waaaay better than the weirdly shape older version. The new is more aggressive. If Lexus would have started with that front in 2010, I would have considered it more than I did. My sister has a 2010 and I've driven a few times but feel like...

    Showoff Your LR4

    photos of wheels So I posted a crappy single pic of my powder coated wheels a few weeks ago and wanted to provide some better pics after getting my truck washed/clay-barred after all the ice storms we've had here in Dallas...yes, I noticed my sump guard didn't get washed very well<crap>. They...

    Alignments

    I had the same experience as 94speedster when I first bought my LR4 in 2010. My tires were wearing out badly even with consistent rotation at 5K. My local Discount Tire store said that my Conti's suck and I needed an alignment. I did call my dealer about getting it done at a local shop and...

    Looks great, Axel. Are those 18"? If so, did you end up using spacers?

    Showoff Your LR4

    I was able to use one of the local wheel repair companies that my dealer recommended called Wheels America. I was able to have the dealer manage the pickup and drop off since my LR4 was at the shop for oil change. total cost of powder coating was $300($75/tire) and I had my dealer remount and...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Sorry for delayed response. Here is a quick pic with the powder coat wheels. It's been a crazy work week with Icemegedon here in Dallas so I couldn't get out much. It was in the teens with windchill at zero. I was standing on pure ice so the single pic is a little blurry. I'm planning on...

    Baby Discovery

    Another article on new freelander In the same posted article was a pic of what the freelander may look like. plus, some more insight into LR's thoughts on product alignment. It mentions 3 pillars do luxury, leisure and dual purpose with LR4 falling in leisure. I hope that doesn't mean it...

    Showoff Your LR4

    So I've been on the fence for a while on getting my wheels blacked out and your photo has pushed me over. I'm scheduled to have my wheels powder coated on Monday while it's at the dealer getting some TSB work done. I'm going with Black matte with a satin finish. I'm not a fan of glossy so...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Thanks for sharing this pic, AdvGuy! I have always wanted to see what a black lr4 with LR factory black wheels looks like. I think I would like to powder coat my Oem wheels but didn't know if I was too old for the "murdered out" Look as I've heard it called and I'm not trying to send any...

    LR4 Extended Warranty Question

    You should do a search on extended warranty on this board and the LR3 bouard too because this topic has come up multiple times before. Lot's of folks who went after market with a range of prices/sucess. I bought mine from ford ESP this year and it's one of the more common ones that LR3/LR4...

    Showoff Your LR4

    I agree. They aren't very noise but it may also depend where you have them placed. They whistle at HW speeds and it's more prevelant to me when I have to move them further up towards the moonroof.

    Official 2014 Changes to LR4

    This is exactly what I thought too. So sad! When I get rid of my LR4, I'll be searching for either the outgoing RRS or 2013 LR4.

    Trip to Moab

    Thanks guys! It was alot of fun and I wished I could have done more. If LR national really is back in Moab next year, I may go back. I debated between Moab or LR national rally in Ouray this year and decided on Moab since that's really where I wanted to go but was worried about going it alone...

    Trip to Moab

    My wife and I took a road trip from Dallas to Moab this past week for our anniversary as a change up from our usual SFO/west coast trips. Unfortunately, I was only able to do one day of off-roading since we had rafting and repelling in the agenda along with Game of Thrones marathon that I...

    Couple of questions...

    I had michelin lattitude tour HPs and they were fantastic for softness and very low noise. Like David mentioned, most of us went to Coopers for offroad capabilities. You can get tires from a discount tire store as they match internet prices + shipping. They also give some credit for trading...

    Meridian sound system on MY14 LR4

    I agree, the ML systems on the Lexus' are one of the best factory sound system I've heard. I had an evoque as a loaner and thought the Meridian system was solid and better than most other branded systems.

    On the subject of warranties

    I bought a warranty from Ford ESP in January for their platinum care(what ever the name of their highest coverage) for additional 5/50k, pushing me over the 100k mark if I keep it that long. I paid $3600. Also, I just took my LR4 into the dealer for an oil change yesterday and they...

    Been thinking about switching it up...

    I highly agree with this. In addition, I would also not own a LR outside of OEM warranty without an extended warranty. I really like the outgoing RR Sports but love the better utility the LR4 offers. Having said that, I'm going to Moab next month to check that off my off road bucket list and...
