    Has anyone run the Rubicon Trail in an LR3 or LR4?

    I just read that story of the LR3 on the Rubicon, from Expedition Portal. It was a fantastic read. So much so that I’m now inspired to keep going with my quest. I Don’t think it will be getting out there this year though, but I’ll certainly be ready for the Spring 2024. I already have the...

    Thanks for the 411. I’ll give it a read.

    Has anyone run the Rubicon Trail in an LR3 or LR4?

    I agree. Going solo is a non starter. The Rubicon is legendary - and it’s precisely for that reason that I would like to traverse the trail. But, this is going to take some serious effort to get my LR4 “Rubicon ready”. I think it would be prudent to work my way through progressively more...

    Has anyone run the Rubicon Trail in an LR3 or LR4?

    Hmm. Well that was a little discouraging. I am beginning to see a trend here. My rig sits on 32 1/2” tires. A tad short of your prerequisite tire size. I see I’ll have to consider this indulgence very carefully. I would be very happy to take to bypasses when the choice is offered...

    Has anyone run the Rubicon Trail in an LR3 or LR4?

    Hmm. Not quite the answer I was hoping for. A lot of ifs. It does give me pause. But, I’m still pondering the possibility…. I see I am gonna have to seriously think this one out.

    LR4 squealing brake pads with a recent change from the dealer...

    To help mitigate the brake squeal issue the dealer should have used a “brake no-squeal” or “Brake Quiet”. It’s a formulated black carbon solution that is applied directly to the surface of the brake pad. Valvoline (Bardahl, Justice Bros. to name a few) offers this type of product for the...

    Has anyone run the Rubicon Trail in an LR3 or LR4?

    Looking to see if anyone has run the Rubicon Trial in a LR3 or LR4. I’m warming up to the idea of tackling the Rubicon. Would like to know what trails would be a good prerequisite before planning such endeavor.

    Random LR4 Death and Resurrection

    Hi. I have the same here vehicle 2012 HSE model. I bought the LR4 with 30,000 miles on it (CPO) and I now have 178,000 on the odometer. Knock on wood, I haven’t experienced anything like you described.

    18” rim set up

    A couple of things. First and foremost, go through the threads! This is a topic that has generated a lot of ink. Second. The short answer is 265/65R18, no cutting, it just fits. And lastly, when you start pondering the idea of bigger tires, >32”, you start running into problems. Some are...

    Adding Upgrades to My 2012 LR4 -

    I was wondering if there was a drier or if it was incorporated into the compressor assembly.

    Adding Upgrades to My 2012 LR4 -

    Well, that is the question du jour. First and foremost, I’m here to learn from people, like you, who have “been there, done that”. Second. Coming from a manufacturing standpoint, my plan would center around PM. Preventive maintenance. For example. I have noticed that my compressor is...

    Adding Upgrades to My 2012 LR4 -

    Hmm. I’m almost inclined to say that was a premature failure. I have over 178,000 miles on my 2012 with the original LCA.

    Adding Upgrades to My 2012 LR4 -

    Just got my 2012 LR4 a four wheel alignment. I was speaking with the owner and asked him to scrutinize the suspension and steering components and to check out all the bushings. He reported back to me saying everything looked ship shape considering the age and mileage. Looks like we have the...

    Holy Cow! That is a serious field repair! Bushing failure, eh? I'm not sure how you plan for that? Ratchet straps. I'm going to add that to my recovery bag.

    OK - I'm sold on adding armor!! What was the cause of your suspension failure. I am going to tap into the air line on all four corners and splice in a schrader valve to fill the air suspension in the event of mishap.

    Yeah, that is definitely a downside to consider. Especially when I think about how many times I'm opening/closing the rear hatch & tailgate.

    Building Your LR4 to Hit the Trails So, you’ve bought yourself the most capable “mall crawler” on the planet, the LR4 (LR3 included.) But…you don’t want to go the mall; you want to hit the great outdoors and take the road less traveled. You’ve already done the most important upgrade you can do...

    Best roof rails and roof rack?

    Greetings everyone. I’ve been waiting patiently for ProSpeed to release their new low profile expedition rack for the LR4. The rack is now available and it looks slick. You can catch a few photos of it on their website. What you’ll notice is that the wind fairing is not yet available. I...

    Having a spare tire on the roof is all dandy. I kinda like the look and I was even thinking of doing that myself, until I realized the the spare tire can weigh 75 lbs. depending on the size tire and wheel. And since I just got new tires and had to lift the spare into the back of my truck, I...

    Suspension Fault Issues

    Just curious, has anyone tapped into the air line after the valve block as a countermeasure to: a) compressor failure or b) valve block malfunction? Was thinking that might be a good idea, maybe. Any thoughts from our seasoned LR/RR veterans?
