    LR4 Wheels/Tires

    Yes, I was wondering about that. That's why I asked if I could put 255mm tires on a 9.5" rim....instead of 275s.

    LR4 Wheels/Tires

    Thanks for the comments, and the photos, guys. I think the Redbourne's are 9.5" width (like the wheels I'm considering). Can I put 255mm wide tires on a 9.5" rim. (Do I even want to?); or do I have to go with the wider 275's?

    LR4 Wheels/Tires

    I have a 2014 LR4 on order. I'm considering some custom wheels (20"), but I don't care for the 20" optional wheels from LR. I found some I like at a fairly reasonable price ($699 + shipping for 4 20x9.5" European wheels). Of course, I'd have to add tires and pressure sensors. So, all in all, I'm...

    LR4 vs MDX "Ride" on washboard and moderately rough roads?

    I was surprised that my Disco II, with it's off road prowess, would shake my fillings loose when traversing washboard. I was hoping that the LR4’s air suspension would be better. Would any of the Traction Control settings soften the suspension, so as to mitigate the jarring on washboard??

    Disabling 2014 ECO Switch

    That's good to know re the 2014.5 RR. I'm hoping we see a firmware update for the LR4 soon.

    Disabling 2014 ECO Switch

    Either turn it off before you get going, or, if you forget, turn it off anytime along the way. A bit annoying, but at least the option is there. MY2015 on won't be as fortunate.

    Placed my order tonight!

    Dan: Maybe there's no S mode nor paddle shifters because there are no Corvettes to challange there.... ;) Liked your comment about watching the video in the mirror. Also, I didn't see and ECO botton; presumably because they don't use Start/Stop tech on the deisels...? ...or maybe they're not...

    EpicLR4's 2014 LR4 Build Thread

    It will be interesting to see if that really happens. I've only seen opinions on this; nothing official from Land Rover. Anyone else found any definitive info?

    Wade Sensing Feature in the MY14 LR4?

    My sales guy also confirmed today that wade sensing is not available in the US. And from what Umberto is saying, it's no big loss. And regardless of what they say, I think soaking your engine and other parts at the 700mm mark is not a good idea. The other thing is; it's not hard to go from 700mm...

    EpicLR4's 2014 LR4 Build Thread

    Ouray is one of my intended destinations as well. I understand the fly fishing in the area can be very good. And I'd be happy camping out each day, if it was next to one of the streams. Counting on the LR4 to get me there !

    EpicLR4's 2014 LR4 Build Thread

    My order for a MY2014 LR4 went in on February 6. The confirmation sheet, that starts with the 'Common Order No', also has a 'Current Planned build' date, and 'Current Planned Delivery' date (June 10, for me). (New2LR4: If you don't see an 'Order Accepted Date' nor a Current Planned Delivery...

    EpicLR4's 2014 LR4 Build Thread

    I think you may have done pretty well. I only managed $600 off MSRP. The dealer made it clear that for now, based on demand, they're selling at MSRP. I checked with another dealer and it was the same. I signed the order and put a deposit down, so my negotiating position may be gone, but I'm...

    EpicLR4's 2014 LR4 Build Thread

    Thanks Umbertob. I'm surprised Land Rover supplies a scissors jack; esp for such a heavy vehicle. Ever have one strip out? It ain't pretty.... But a hydro bottle jack is fairly cheap. Anyway, looking forward to the new LR4. I enjoyed the test drive. It's quite a machine.

    EpicLR4's 2014 LR4 Build Thread

    My order went in today. Hurray! June 10 scheduled delivery date. Does anyone know if the order document is available online, such that I can track changes to the dates? Also, in the detailed build list, I noticed mention of a scissors jack. Is that right? They supply a scissors jack for an LR4...

    2014 LR4 Test Drive Review - LR4 1st Drive

    Dan, If you get the LR4, I'd venture to say that you'll be all over Colorado! ...and elsewhere. Congrats on your first Grandchild. I've got 6. The older ones are starting to hike/fish with me. Something else for you to look forward to ! If you don't make the roadtrip to Seattle in the LR4.....at...

    2014 LR4 Test Drive Review - LR4 1st Drive

    It seems the dealers like white, red and black; probably because they sell the most. This year, with the engine shortage and the delays in getting their allocations, for sure, we'll have to distract ourselves while we wait. I was hoping for an April/May delivery. June.....that will be tough. But...
