    Second Battery Installed in LR4

    I had no issues this weekend in - 0 temp this weekend (wind chill), but a 2nd battery for comfort came to mind. Great input on a 2nd battery for the LR4. Is anyone conscious of a domestic (USA) seller of the Traxide dual battery kit or similar product?

    Need advice on LR4 20 inch wheel tire options

    Finally got out this weekend. Sloppy melting snow, dirt roads, pavement, icy snow covered dirt roads, powder, hard pack, incline, decline...a lot of different environments over the weekend. Bitter cold at 4 degrees and the tires worked great. Very happy.

    Cold weather start

    Warm or cold weather I wait at a minimum until the idle decreases to less than 1,000 RPM. Cold weather I let it sit a little longer than normal before I start driving.

    Need advice on LR4 20 inch wheel tire options

    Not the best picture when you have to take it from the drive way, but a better perspective than my previous post. I blew out a sidewall on a stupid little rock with the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's I was running in the 255/55/19. Long story, but never obtained a full size spare because I didn't...

    Need advice on LR4 20 inch wheel tire options

    I added 20" Matte Black DUB Drone wheels with 275/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler AT on the LR4. I have a 5th for a spare, need to figure out how to carry it. These were the 3rd rims attempted because the Voxx OR-7 have a 2 month back order and the Elite Carnal Matte Black wouldn't work due to...

    Do you carry a weapon in your truck?

    My favorite right now is the Kimber .45 Super Carry Ultra in the photos. Beautiful pistol and accurate. It's a firearm that is the shooter versus the weapon on accuracy. The 1911 model is my favorite. Glock, Walther, HK and Beretta are part of the collection, but the .45 caliber 1911's are...

    Do you carry a weapon in your truck?

    Holster option Aside from why people carry a firearm inside of their vehicle, whether they can in their state legally or their choice of tool for protection. I wanted to share how I carry within my vehicle. Each state's laws are different, in my state all people have the right to carry a...

    Lift Kit Anyone?

    I use the Johnson Rods daily. Ensure you get your tires aligned by a Land Rover dealership versus Big O, etc.. I added the rods, went on a 2K trip after going to Big O to align and the tires wore horribly on the edges. Easily lost 5K to 10K of miles on my tires. Very disappointing. I don't...

    LR2 or LR3- 2009 and 2010

    I've been driving a 2010 LR2 loaner from the dealership for close to a week. It is the second loaner I've used from them. The reason I have the LR2 is that I'm adding some sliders, compressor protection and sump protector to my LR4 that Flatirons Land Rover in Colorado is now selling. 1st LR2...

    Metburry Gulch, Co 5/8/10

    The silver Ford pick up truck in the photo made us laugh. This guy hammered through everything with zero care in the world and a who cares attitude. He banged down this slab of rock and continued down into the valley with no hesitation. We developed an image of a guy with a truck that crab...

    Expedition Roof Rack

    I've been looking at Rover Racks, they'll pretty much build you want you want. The weight limitation on the Land Rover Expedition rack steered me clear of pursuing one of theirs. Interesting news about the bankruptcy.

    Wrangler MTR vs Pirelli Scorpion ATR

    I was able to get through the mud that I was playing in today, but it was tricky. You can see how the mud cakes to the Pirelli Scorpion ATR.

    Air Suspension Issue?

    Same experience with mine. My assumption is this occurs to relieve pressure on the system.

    Avoid the 2010 LR4!

    My experience has been a 180 degree difference from your experience. My vehicle has driven and handled as expected, quality is top notch and I've experienced no electronic issues. It's truly unfortunate concerning your experience - both with the vehicle and the manufacturer.

    Bluetooth

    My Blackberry Bold (9000) connects quickly at engine start up and works very well with the system. No disconnects, audio works well within the speakers, call answering/ending and switching between radio/cd/aux with no problems and only my wife complains about the mic. This is because she...

    Anyone take the new Land Rover LR4 off road yet?

    No I only have the standard center locking differential. I spoke at length with the dealership on the differences and he recommended saving the cost and not getting the HD package. His opinion was that I'd have more than enough with the center locking differential. So far he's been...

    Anyone take the new Land Rover LR4 off road yet?

    Went out last weekend thinking it would be drier than it was, but there was a range of 4 - 10 inches of snow. Snow depth varied depending on where I went. Driving through a flat trail though snow only with some occasional ups and downs did well in the snow. The snow/grass function I think...

    Anyone take the new Land Rover LR4 off road yet?

    I've taken my LR4 off-roading twice. Both times up to Illinois Gulch in Colorado. First time out was dry, nice ruts, challenging rock sections and an area of long, steep rutted road. One of my favorite sections was cantering to the left and then to the right multiple times. The vehicle did a...
