    LR4s out there holding their value maybe more than just quite well

    Here is the prob, friends: There is currently nothing, and I mean, nothing, on the market like an LR3/4 today. I have sat in a bunch of would be potential replacement candidates including the LX 570 and the new Defender (many times in the new Defender over the duration of past several months)...

    LR4s out there holding their value maybe more than just quite well

    Thought I shared this with you guys here. Couple of weeks ago I visited my dealership for scheduled maintenance. As I was checking out the new Defenders on the floor, a sales guide approaches, we chat a bit, and it comes up that I currently own an LR4. "Hmm...", he says with interest. "They...

    Non-OEM/OEM TPMS (433mhz) for 2016 LR4 HSE recommendations?

    Not sure what mhz, but after being quoted some ridiculous amount for each from a local dealership as usual with the parts department following the LR dealerships' way of charging the customer way "Above & Beyond" what the part should really cost, I ended up ordering a set of four from TireRack...

    Maxing Out Off-Road Ability on 19" Wheels (yep, tires again)

    This no hydroplaning is largely owed to the near 6000 LBs of IBF' heft with its low center of gravity, something that pretty much all of your average internet car reviewing pundits scoff at as they get into an LR3/4 for review right after they have reviewed the featherweight Honda CRV, expecting...

    Speedometer recalibration with IID Tool

    Sorry don't mean to hijack here, but are you really able to actually input the wheel/rim diameter into the vehicle' system? And if so then should I have had my dealership update this data in my LR4 when I went from 20 inch rims (that came with my lux) to the standard spec 19 inch rims? Because...

    LR3 or LR4?

    Only 15k, quite enticing indeed. FYI, that OEM roof rack looks great and well integrated to the body in real life by the way

    The SVA SCV8 LR4 Poll

    Sure, but I have not really investigated it that much yet by looking under the chassis with that intent. And I don't think its the cheapness on the engineering side. Also, I cannot really chalk this out to the engineering laziness either because the engineers at LR are responsible for some...

    Installed these super low profile DIY crossbars for Rotopax

    Oh thats right, its the carbon monoxide. Hmm then I guess I will look into the Wavians. But having the jerry cans inside the cabin is still an idea I am prolly gonna need to reach a certain level of comfort before I could commit :)

    Oh wow, you are actually putting them inside the vehicle. The fumes is the only thing I am worried about, with the windows closed with ac during hot temps out. What i have heard/read about gas fumes is that you cannot sometimes tell if they are in the air, no?

    The SVA SCV8 LR4 Poll

    Request to Mod: Possible to fix the title by swapping out the "A" with an "O" in "SVA" as I believe its actually SVO for Special Vehicles Operations, correct?

    The SVA SCV8 LR4 Poll

    Oh yes, the TDV8 offered in the Vogue model IS the engine for LR3/4.

    I wouldn't mind exploring the options for mounting the cans in the back, but I usually have my bike rack attached to the tow hitch receiver, and I would prefer to leave things stock back there, like the bumper etc.

    Yeah not really any serous offroading here, but Love nature, geology, and try to go off the grid, away from the city/work on long drives whenever I can. Backcountry/dirt roads, long stretches of peaceful and scenic two-lanes, ghost towns, hiking/exploring terrains, etc, and just like to be...

    LR3 or LR4?

    Had an 06 for six years and put close to 50k on it, with zero issues. Many long trips, including a 3k plus NY-LA cross country trip, super comfortable ride thru varying weather conditions (even with the stock tires), and zero issues. LR3 has much better ride quality than LR4, both on road and...

    The SVA SCV8 LR4 Poll

    Yes, bigger fuel tank indeed, forgot about that. Also, end this nonsense of running the exhaust pipes/components under the rear diff/drive axels. There should never be anything running or hanging under the rear axels in a vehicle designed, as well as heavily marketed, to be taken offroad...

    The SVA SCV8 LR4 Poll

    Quite aware of the revised geometry in LR4, lowering the center of gravity. Thats why leaving and/or optimizing LR3' suspension tuning with the revised geometry would have been perfect for excellent ride quality in LR4 both on and off road. I too very much prefer the slower ratio/boost of LR3...

    You are correct, I have been finding out these last few months that I have to vent it quite often or it deforms a lot due to the high ambient temps and sun even at sea levels. I havent not gone up more than 1600 ft yet with it mounted. I thought that one of the rotopox units that I received...

    Suspension compressor cover

    Given how crucial of a component this air compressor is to even the barebones normal functionality of LR3/4 at the very basic level of operating this vehicle just on the pavement, let alone any offroad or overlanding ventures, LR should have designed something like this Prospeed cover to protect...

    Gas tank fuel capacity.

    On my 16 (SCV6) it ranges from 225+ to 320+ at full tank depending on type/style of driving (city/freeways, Miss Daisy/Vin Diesel, idling durations, etc) with 16.7k on the odo so far. I think the displayed range can also be affected by the frequency of the dominant driving style as well as when...

    The SVA SCV8 LR4 Poll

    All I know is that if there is anything that I have learned on this planet, its this: Everything is possible :) Curious, how many of us here would be interested in an SCV8/ZF8 LR4 if it was produced by SVA with the following bare minimum features...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Funny you mentioned that because I have been toying with a crazy idea last few months :) just never had a chance to post it here. But now that you have reminded me of it again along with our friend Tapps33 here, will do shortly.

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Ive always thought that SCV8 and LR4 were meant for each other :)
