How Much Do You Pay For Insurance?
Did they give you OE glass or make you take Fuyao ? I have state farm as well with "$0 deduct" but I had to pay the difference for OE. Edit: So as not to threadjack, State Farm, 44, CO, full coverage (250/500 liab, comp, $1K deduct collision, UI/UM) -- roughly $1250 a year. -

18” rim set up
265/65/18 will at least let you put a (mostly deflated) spare in the stock location under the truck. -

LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?
How's this for timing? A new Defender 130 Outbound edition just dropped. 5 seater only, bigger cargo area. https://media.landrover.com/news/2023/04/defender-line-grows-host-new-offerings-including-luxurious-defender-130-outbound -

LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?
Love the look and the capability, but that cargo area just doesn't measure up. Can't sleep in it, either! -

LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?
You can get the V8 defender with 20s. And the v8 FFRR should support 20s, even if its not a factory option. -

Compomotive 18” Wheel; Quality Control Issue

2012 versus 2015 LR4
If the 2012 is quiet (no timing chain rattle) and had frequent oil changes, I'd probably go with that too. -

LR4 to Defender direct comparison questions
Curious for those of you that have made the switch. Is the NVH better or worse driving over rough / washboard roads ? I find the LR4 is dead quiet / rattle-free on pavement, but when driving to trailheads and such, it gets really annoying because there are a dozen invisible places noises come...- Nechaken

Replaced crossover pipes and water pump
2K sounds about right for doing both of the crossovers. As I understand it, 2014+ is a little more labor-intensive since the supercharger is in the way. Might want to have them change the supercharge oil and/or coupling while they're in there. -

becoming collectible
Timing-wise, at least, Carmax offered me just over $40K for my 45K mile 2016 Lux with HD last summer. BAT gets a premium for the low-miles lovingly waxed with diaper examples, but thought it was a bit weird to see a normal retailer that high. -

Overlander Question
Keep in mind a 2019 D5 is going to have the same motor as a 2015 LR4. So same concerns with coolant tubes and, although the post-2013 5.0/3.0 have updated timing guides, they're still prone to timing chain issues if the excessively long factory oil change intervals are followed. -

Heavier wheel/LT tire combo "skipping" across pavement?
I've always thought you were supposed to add pressure when running E-rated tires. At least pickups and such that can be spec'ed with E-rated tires work out that way. Granted on an F-250 they're probably planning for 3000lb of construction materials in the bed or a horse trailer or something... -

Heavier wheel/LT tire combo "skipping" across pavement?
I've played around quite a bit, from 42/46 to 55/60. The skipping is less pronounced at the lower pressures, of course, but I'm guessing that's pushing it in terms of load capacity if I have 4 people and camping gear and ice and firewood etc in the back. I actually can't complain much about... -

Heavier wheel/LT tire combo "skipping" across pavement?
Question for you guys that have gone to a heavier wheel/tire combo. In summer, I run Cooper AT3 LT (ie E-range) tires on tuffant steel wheels. I live in CO where we have some windy roads with less than great pavement quality. I've noticed when cornering over bumpy/broken pavement, sometimes... -

Mystery speedometer
I think many of the CAN cars didn't have dual scales on the speedo...and the US requires mpg, either by itself or as one of the scales. -

Maiden Voyage (Boat Sunk)
Can't totally tell from the pics, but I'm guessing street tires? If you want to use this as a dual-purpose car, I'd look into at least a mild AT, maybe something like a Cooper AT3 ? -

Timing Chains INA or Tsubaki how to tell?
No idea if stats are available, but I'd be curious to know if one or the other has higher failure rates. -

HD vs non-HD package LR4
For 2013 or older, the vindecoderz site still works. Locking diff will show up as "Rear Axle Differential - Rear Axle Locking Diff [027CC]" Topix unfortunately has become pay to play, and its not cheap if you just sign up for a day or week of access... -

2015 HD in CO (not mine)
Was bored browsing what our cars are going for these days and came across this 2015 White non-Lux with the HD package in Denver. 88K miles Not mine and no connection with the dealership, but I know the HDs are pretty hard to find, so here you go... -

HD vs non-HD package LR4
I was actually thinking uphill. Mine (HD) definitely locks when goosing it pointing uphill... but if you don't have the HD package, I don't think the rear icon is ever going to change from green (unlocked) to orange (locked). -

HD vs non-HD package LR4
Exactly. Heads up though. No firsthand knowledge, but some people have suggested the early LR4s would show 2 differentials even if the rear was open. See this thread: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/found-an-lr4-a-couple-pre-purchase-questions.29026/page-2#post-174268 Try nailing the... -

Long crank, no faults
If it really slipped, shouldn’t it be hard to start ALL the time? And wouldn’t it run poorly after it does?
