    Replaced Front Break Pads Today

    How are your rotors? I had the rear brake TSB redone last week by the dealer because I still had squeling and they said that the rotors generally need to be replaced with the brake pads. I obviously question that but went with it since they mentioned that my current rotors were starting to...

    LR4 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)

    Rear break squel TSB Just an FYI to those who are having the rear break squel TsB work done, make sure your dealer replace the rotors too or else the squel will get worse as the rotors may have developed a lip.

    Extended Service plan??

    Honestly, I don't remember any one on this board mentioning they purchased the warranty initially. There are a lot of post purchase discussions on warranty that you can find via the search function on this board and the LR3 board. There was some folks who went the geico route and have had a...

    Breaks squeal while in reverse

    Just to follow up on my experience with this issue. My dealer dtermined that when they did the TSB, they should have also replaced the rotors too. My rotors had developed a lip and that was what made the squeal worse after the initial TSB service work was done earlier this year. My dealer...

    Noticing seal cracking around the sunroof

    Anyone popped up and checked their sunroof lately and notice that the weather stripping seals around the sunroof is starting to crack or has cracks in it? I decided to keep my LR4 and had the short roof rails installed today by the dealer. I was looking at it more thoroughly at home and...

    LR4 audio problems

    Happens to me occasionally. I noticed that the from an older thread a year ago talking about volume maybe playing into it. Our cars automatically adjust the sound down when you re-start the car/turn the radio back on if the previous volume level was past a preset volume level. I started...

    Breaks squeal while in reverse

    Has anyone who has ha the TSB listed above in a previous post had more brake squealing occur? I had this tSB done in February and ever since, my rear breaks squeal going forward while rolling to stop signs and lights and not in reverse anymore. I would have kept the reverse squeal insteAd of...

    Someone keyed my LR4

    That hurts just hearing it from you. That sucks. Call your dealer and see who they use for door dings and scrapes because I scraped the license plate light cover a few months ago on my garage door and my LR dealer has a guy who I called who has the right santorini black paint mix and would...

    You're welcome! Did you call that Ford dealership they all referenced?

    Aftermarket Warranty $$$$$$$

    Head over to the lr3 board as they have a sticky on this topic. They use ford ESP. My local LR shop quoted me 4 year 100000 for around $3800. Do a search on this forum too as I believe this topic came up before, I believe.

    Guesses on how long a new LR4 will last?

    This car has only been out for 2 years so it's a stretch for any one to say "yes" with any true certainty. You can look at the lr3 forum to get a closer gage as they have been out for 7 years. These don't have the track record as toyotas so really, you need to consider whether you are ok if it...

    Available mobridge digital pre-amp

    It's a "pre" amp, which allows you to connect to an after market amp. The value is that it offers a fully non-processed signal from our Harmon kardon system to be amplified with whatever aftermarket amp/wattage and speakers you want to use with the added bonus of having the sound cleaned up by...

    why and why not should I buy LR4

    I agree with the fit of the 4runner. I've owned 2 in the past and they made no noises. My LR4 has a little creaking when I rest my right elbow on the center armrest. That said, I still frequent the 4runner forums since I've been a long time member there and some concerning complaints I've...

    Available mobridge digital pre-amp

    Hey guys, I'm "patiently" waiting on mobridge audio to make their new digital preamp compatible with the LR4 and noticed that the LR3 is now compatible. If your not familiar, this gives you the ability to hook up an aftermarket amp via analog or digital toslink. It uses the burr brown...

    HSE question...

    That stinks. I'm surprised they didn't catch this upon you taking delivery. My LR dealer gave me a quick "how to" of the truck that included pairing my phone and setting up the nav for my area. You may consider asking them to go over the quick start guide to check some of the other...

    why and why not should I buy LR4

    Jamgolf hit right on the nail for me. It's the best combination for all that he mentioned. The one unknown for me that has been proven with the 4runner time and time again is its reliability - it's unmatched by any European or American brand. I love my LR4 but wonder about 5 years from now...

    2012 LR4 issues

    The windshield wipers may be because something activated the sensor. I have had that randomly happen. It's usually when I'm driving on the highway or a very windy day.

    Which color hides dirt and dings best?

    White and silver. Grey is dark enough that a chip and pin stripes show, in my opinion.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Mike Law pinged me on FB this weekend too. I miss you guys as it's been crazy at work and the potential that I may sell my LR4 in September has kept me from coming out lately. I do check in on the Texas rovers board frequently so I don't feel too disconnected yet. Please tell everyone...

    Showoff Your LR4

    photos from last year Here are a few photos from last year's off-road trip with our North Texas Rovers club. I'm so itching to start off-roading again and looking forward to making a decision on whether I'm keeping this truck in September. If I do, I'm upgrading tires, rock sliders, skid...
