    Help! Need a Sanity Check for LR4 Pricing

    At least here in the bay area (south bay for me) the supply/demand for LR4s is so out of whack I'm not sure we can expect to successfully haggle as others may in other parts of the country. Once the San Jose dealership had me on the waiting list (with a 1k deposit) I spent the next two months...

    Help! Need a Sanity Check for LR4 Pricing

    I bought at msrp. I was in a waiting list to order for about 3 months before finding a different dealer with an open order about 2.5 hours away. I didn't want to wait for another dealer order allocation and build/ship time. So I didn't want to play chicken and be another 6+ months out. At...

    OEM LR side protection tubes VTD500010

    Ha. I thought about this too with my wife. And to thwart future accidents I decided to not mention anything about it being a step as I'm worried she will trust it as such and biff it. Regarding protection I'm not sure. I wouldn't want to rest the weight of the vehicle on a rock, but it may be...

    Removing full length roof rails for a Baja rack

    Hi all. How much taller is the Baja rack above the top of the oem roof rail? I've got about 8" of space from the top of my extended roof rails to the top of the garage door entrance. On bajas website the rack itself is listed as 5" tall but the description says to expect a 7.5" gain in height.

    OEM LR side protection tubes VTD500010

    I cannot easily step on them, in a pinch and with cat-like agility one could stand on them for a small task I suppose.

    Can I turn off Parking Warning Sensors w/ IID Tool?

    Can this tool lower the sensor audio warnings below the min requirement of 12? The warnings are still waaaay to loud coming out of my speakers. One could think an enemy jet has locked in on me.

    OEM LR side protection tubes VTD500010

    Hi Rudy, I actually just installed these myself last Tues. Took me between 3-4 hours (I'm rarely a DIY'er, so time to finish is probably extended). Got mine from Land Rover Rocklin, instructions came with the set. I like the way they look, though they won't seem to help much as steps. I...

    To close out this thread. Took it to the dealer, they lubed up the brake pedal pivot pen and releasing of the brake pedal is now silent. yay

    Anybody else getting gas <=$3?

    Back up to 3.40-3.60 in the southbay (not that I'm complaining), and still way cheaper than I expected when I purchased my lr4. At least I bought in on an energy etf in the dip [emoji12]

    Newbie Question re Heavy Duty Package

    Get HD. Just the full size spare is worth it to me. I seriously chunked my black 19" rim doing some Silicon Valley off-roading. Really. That curb came out of nowhere. [emoji41] So I put the beautiful spare on and had no problem waiting the 7 days for my rim to be repaired like new.

    Squeaky brake pedal release

    Hi folks, In the last couple months my brake pedal developed a consistent squeak when it is released. About the last inch of travel is when happens. I see a rubber cylinder shaped hood that covers the area where the pedal disappears into the nether underneath the vehicle. Sounds like the...

    Front license plate bracket

    I ordered a MY14 for a Ca delivery. Our law is two plates, but I don't attach a front for aesthetic reasons. Anyway my LR4 arrived with no pre-drilled holes in the front (which made me happy), front plate mount was packed in trunk for me to install myself. Hope this helps.

    2015 US Base LR4

    My 2014 system sounds great (I did get an extra sub installed though), but switching between BT and USB input sources is such a pita I find myself listening to audio via BT way less than I'd like to. My daily setup is an iPod stored in the glove box and plugged into USB. Then say I want to...

    2015 US Base LR4

    I use my iPhone via Bluetooth to play music off the iTunes app (radio and downloads), I also keep an iPod in the space above the glovebox to play music via usb without InControl. Unfortunately you can't play music off your iPhone via BT with the iPod plugged into the usb socket (have to unplug...

    OK, You're probably sick of this

    You mentioned the 350 had a lot of mom drivers. Fwiw, I see mostly ladies driving Land Rover, Range Rover, and land cruisers here in the Bay Area. Just to help with that expectation :-)

    Toying with selling... Any interest?

    Looks great! I love the 4Runners too, test drove them and was close to purchasing but felt I needed more luxury. I'm sure you'll get many miles out of that beast.

    Why no chains on rear wheels?

    Bay area California. I'll see if I can find a copy of the doc tonight as I don't recall the exact verbiage. From memory it seemed like a "sign here that you won't do this" document.

    Why no chains on rear wheels?

    On a side note. When I received my MY14 LR4 I actually had to sign a form stating that I would not drive with chains on the vehicle (no mention of front vs back). One of the many forms you have to sign for delivery. Since we never use chains out here I didn't think much of it at the time.

    New to forum(LR3 to LR4)

    Anybody else getting gas <=$3?

    Just hit 2.98 for 91 octane (at Arco) in South Bay. There is a shell up the street who missed the memo, still have their price at 3.99.

    2014 LR4: Biggest POS Ever Owned

    Ugh sorry to hear. What did the dealer do to your LR4 on the first visit?

    New Discovery Sport

    Quite common in the bay area. Decent housing can be at least 800k so I figure folks find a 50k car more attainable then scraping together 160k for that housing down payment.

    MY14 LR4: JotaDe's Thoughts

    Hi folks. What do you use to detail the rubber weather stripping on the side windows (not the harder black plastic strips)? After a wash I've tried mothers back to black and it still leaves the chalky white stripes. Hopefully there is a way to get a nice consistent black on that rubber.
