    Off Road Paint Protection

    For those interested in films, A brief update--Jeff, from XPEL, wrote me back about the feasibility of applying the films yourself: "As for self-installation, I am pretty confident that you apply the film to the doors and achieve a quality appearance. The hood, fenders, grille and bumper may...

    Sill Tread plates, side rails (steel), roof bars

    Alexcoral, I got a response from you but I don't see the posting. There is something wrong with this thread. Here was my response- The tires are 255/55R-19 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R XL $309.00 from tirerack.com (I just checked last night after someone asked me the same question). However...

    Sill Tread plates, side rails (steel), roof bars

    David, Sorry...I wasn't ignoring you, just forgot to reply. I am glad you like the photo's. I put some more on the webpage http://www.flickr.com/photos/59137225@N07/ and added a few pithy comments (some copied from previous pithiness posted on this forum). Yes, I do get to use...

    Considering an LR4

    Gfcronus, It was a pleasure and I am glad to see others contributions. I really like the Nara Bronze with Almond/Arabica interior (so does everyone who sees it). There is probably a reason why the fashion designers used that scheme to highlight the LR4 in their advertising publications. I...

    Off Road Paint Protection

    Rover Guru’s, Rhino Liner is a really great idea…I had never thought of that. Thanks for sharing the concept, there could be some applications-like you said, for rust prevention. Also, I admit defeat: you have found the saran-wrap I never knew about—Griot’s Garages “Surface Protection Film...

    Second Battery Installed in LR4

    Ndrenfro, I will keep everyone posted through this thread what I find out in the future. I am talking about the inverter boxes run straight to the second battery. In fact, I would like to rewire the existing 12v sockets to the second battery as well as any other accessories (like lights) to...

    OEM rubber floor mats

    Correction from last post: I meant almond/arabica two-tone interior. That is tan and brown for us marketing-challenged types. Land Rover Joe

    Brush Guard for LR4

    ndrenfro, No worries and I will let the group know if I find anything out later down the road. And yes....just plain nuts. Land Rover Joe

    OEM rubber floor mats

    To everyone: Agreed, the mats are worth the price. I hate carpet and they save a lot of time and hastle. You can see more pictures of floor mats on the flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/59137225@N07/page2/ I will post some more photos with the rubber mats. The only...

    Considering an LR4

    Count, I assume you mean the LR4 and not the XC-70. I posted a few pictures and gave only a couple descriptions at the Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/59137225@N07/page1/ I try to keep the truck fairly clean and don't have any great "action shots" yet, so these are...

    Brush Guard for LR4

    Ndrenfro, Land Rover Joe again; great minds must think alike (or we are both just nuts). I am reviving this stream and would like to share some new information I have uncovered. I have been seeking a real Bull Guard / Brush Guard for my LR4 for some time as I work in Africa and all the animals...

    Second Battery Installed in LR4

    Ndrenfro, Awesome: thanks. I like the logic to take back some wasted space under the hood and I agree 100% with a 100% duty, hard-wired, second battery. As I am thinking about including a couple hard-wired, mounted, power inverters in my install (still dreaming folks!) to run lights...

    Red Plastic Plug for hitch?

    This is true: it is just a cover for the trailer hitch, to protect the frame from more water, mud, and salt. Be careful as it falls out easily! It looks a bit silly, when noticed, but I do keep mine in to help prevent salt, sand, mud, and other pleasantries from getting in the receptacle for the...

    Considering an LR4

    Gfcronus, Greetings and Salutations from Africa. I will admit: I normally despise these postings about “should I buy an LR4.” If you like the truck, then buy it. However, since I owned a XC-70 and now an LR4…I feel obliged to respond to this thread. First: The LR4 is an...

    Brush Guard for LR4

    Ndrenfro, Land Rover Joe again- Several LR4 owners have apparently modified ARB Bull Guards manufactured for LR3’s to fit to their LR4’s. See picture at http://www.roverracks.com/images/LRWestPalm.jpg . I even found a link for instructions explaining the process on a different site from...

    Second Battery Installed in LR4

    ndrenfro, First, let me thank you for having what I think is the best posting on this (LR4) site. I really appreciate the work you put into the modification and the time to let us all know about it. Out of curiosity: how is the 2nd battery working? I am considering doing the mod at some...

    Off Road Paint Protection

    Dear LR4 drivers, Land Rover Guru does have a point…if you don’t want off road “love bites,” then don’t go off road. That said, I spend a lot of time off-road, and want to provide a bit more protection for my exterior. There are some recent products to give auto enthusiasts a variety of...

    LR4 Desert Driving

    Folks, Ok- I am bringing out another old thread. Has anyone else been having recent problems with sand? I do quite a bit of desert driving (mostly with Land Cruisers) and have gotten the LR4 stuck in some deep sand (my fault) some time back. Dug it out fine (at 2 in the morning) and...

    Sill Tread plates, side rails (steel), roof bars

    Garg, Here are some pictures on a slideshow I posted to my Flickr site. I had to do some cleaning today to shoot the pix. http://www.flickr.com/photos/59137225@N07/show/ These pictures span receipt of the truck, so that you can see it without modifications, and then several different...

    Running boards / side steps

    Starrove, I am re-posting this message in your thread because it might help. I have been driving a 2010 LR4 (US Spec 5.0L gasoline HSE) for about a year. Long story, but I work in Africa and drive in some very harsh, off-road, desert conditions. I highly recommend after-market...

    Tire options for LR4

    dihan and all, Nice pictures....but... Have you put those things to work? What tires have you installed and what is your verdict driving off-road (or on road for that matter)? Thanks- Land Rover Joe

    Sill Tread plates, side rails (steel), roof bars

    Garg, I have been driving a 2010 LR4 (US Spec 5.0L gasoline HSE) for about a year. Long story, but I work in Africa and drive in some very harsh, off-road, desert conditions. I have the sill tread plates. They are a bit pricey (like all Land Rover accessories), but I am glad I did the job...
