    Uh Oh! Help with diagnosing sudden offroad LR4 Trauma?

    Hey Folks, So, took the LR4 on the beach today. We are on vacation in the Outer Banks away from home and any dealerships. I let my other half drive because she has a blast. And I'm not just saying that. We did some dunes and then we went on a bunch of soft sand that might have had ruts...

    Query about approaching flooded dips in off roads

    Hey Folks, I've been driving around in lots of sand roads behind the dunes in NC. Many of them are flooded at their lower points from a storm a few weeks ago. It's not salt water. Anyways, I know the standard stuff about how to approach these by looking for familiar landmarks, trying to go...

    Advice - Take off front bumper cover BEFORE you go 4x4'ing

    Hey Folks, Just a tip for those going off road that haven't read the manual through. There is a cover under the front bumper that you can easily take off that expands the width of the bumper and hides the front recovery point. Apparently, I didn't take mine off and lost it four days ago...

    Leaving tires at low PSI?

    Hey Folks, I actually have an LR4, but figured I might get more insight here. I'm at the beach for 2 weeks and every day I spend hours driving on the 4x4 beaches and in the sandy, flooded dunes. I've got my tires down to 22 PSI and I'm curious what the issues might be if I leave them...

    LR4 in water. Caveats?

    Hey Folks, I'm in NC beaches at the moment, and the streets are flooded. Up to just above the lower door jams at times. I know this vehicles is designed to work thru some creeks and rivers, I was just curious what folks know about the wading thru water capabilities. And how best to handle...

    Jeep Wrangler vs. LR4

    Hey Folks, I'm going to head to Rausch Creek Park in PA (link at end). I have a stock LR4 and my buddy has a stock Jeep Wrangler (base). We are both relative off-road newbs. I have a feeling I'm going to be the one with trouble on trails. I just don't want to get stuck and lose...

    Anybody replace stock LR4 tires? Suggestions?

    Hey Folks, I'd like to get a new site of tires. I understand 18"'s don't work on the LR4 due to the bigger brake pads. So I'd stick to 19" which I know limits choice. I'd like more of an offroad tire (sand, mud mostly - I know very different), but I also don't want to comprimise too much...

    LR Off Road Event Video by a Newbie

    Hey Folks, I have an LR4 but there were plenty of LR3's at this Land Rover Off Road 'Wheels' Event. It's obviously not a hardcore trail, but there were parts where half the trucks had to be recovered because of the mud. It was raining and muddy. And most of the 'obstacles' don't look near...

    LR4 Off Road Video

    Hey Folks, Before you get too excited. This was from one of the Land Rover 'Wheels' events. It took place in Orange, VA in August 2010. Anyways, we took a few minutes of footage and here it is. Some of the more 'challenging' parts weren't caught on film. But perhaps it might serve as...

    Land Rover 'Wheels' Event?

    I got an email from my dealer here in the Northern Virginia area yesterday about a Land Rover 'Wheels' event outing to local Orange, VA for a day of obstacles and challenges. Looks like the local dealers put it on and it's basically free with a catered lunch. Limited to 30 Land Rover vehicles...

    LR4 On The Beach Advice

    Hey Folks, Gonna take my LR4 to the beach soon and they let you drive on the beach (Corolla, NC). The beach is probably 80-100 yards at low tide from water to dunes. Towards the water it's packed sand but it can get very soft and deep (12 inch+ tire grooves) towards the dunes. You can also...

    Air Suspension Issue?

    Hey Folks, Randomly when I park my LR4 and get out of the car and shut the door, the air suspension automatically adjusts the car from 'normal' to 'access' height. It doesn't do this all the time however, and I can't seem to figure out why it's happening. I don't have any Terrain Response...
