    LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?

    Okay guys, I know this sounds crazy, but I have a 2012 LR4 and have had since it rolled off the truck in 2011. I've tried to find something that I like driving just a much, but I just haven't. Since that time, I've had the MB GL, BMW X5M, Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit, Cadillac CTS-V, Toyota...

    Tire Question #14,751 - KO2 275/55R20 on stock 20" wheels?

    First, please excuse me for making another tire question post. I have spent a number of hours trying to look through old post so as not to add an unnecessary one. From my reading, BFG KO2 275/55R20 will work on 20" wheels, even with a slightly greater offset than stock with 2.5" Johnson Rods...

    2nd time stranded in 5 months!

    First, let me say that I love our 2012 LR4. I also have a 2014 MB GL450 and an 2016 X5M. I enjoy driving the LR4 about as much as either of the others (for different occassions of course), but I have a delima. A few months ago, the LR4 broke down and left me stranded in a parking lot with a...

    I love my truck, but I hate my truck...what to do?

    I have a 2012 LR4 Lux that I bought new, pretty much loaded up except HD package and vision assist. I love the way it drives, rides and looks. It is as solid of a vehicle as I've driven. The problem is, I'm disqusted with the reoccuring problems I've had with it. Some were just a fluke...

    Headrests won't display DVD video

    I just got my 2012 LR4 back from the dealer. They were repairing a check engine light. Now, we noticed that although we do get the Land Rover logo on startup at that rear headrest screens, no video will display on either of the rear headrest after trying to play a dvd. After startup, they...

    Trailer hitch wiring aesthetic solution

    Maybe I'm alone on this since I haven't seen a solution for it, but it seems that if we want to use the wiring to use a tow behind trailer, we have to go ugly by removing the rear bumper wiring connector panel. It would be much easier if there was a way to connect them without removing the...

    AWESOME dealer/service experience

    Since we all (myself included) seem to have a tendency to be more vocal when we have a bad experience, I thought it would only be fair to share a great experience that I had with my Land Rover dealer. I have zero connection with Bluegrass Motorsport Land Rover of Louisville other than I...

    Experience installing short roof rails

    I'm considering installing the short roof rails to allow for use of a Thule cargo system. It looks like the standard black or even the "bright" roof rails would work. If you have a suggestion on the appearance of black vs. bright, I'd like to hear it. I have an Ipanema Sand with the 20" gloss...

    Window Tint Specs

    In the event that you are thinking about tinting the windows on your LR4, I thought the following specs would be beneficial. Sorry for the formatting- I don't know how to make a table in a post. DESCRIPTION LIGHT TRANSMISSION % SOLAR TRANSMISSION % Wind Shield 82 58 Front Door...

    Part question for broken 3rd row seat belt lever

    When attempting to stow the 3rd row seats, I noticed that one of the seat backs would not go down because the seat belt (the receptacle end) was still sticking up. I looked at the other side and saw that there is a lever that retracts the seat belt so that the seat back doesn't close up on the...

    Dealers who can sell / ship Castrol SLX 5w-20

    Unfortunately, there are no Land Rover dealers within 125 miles that sell the recommended oil (Castrol SLX 5w-20) by the quart- they have bulk only. I've tried searching here and elsewhere, but don't seem to be able to find it on the net. Please post any info if you are aware of a dealer who...

    What are the under carriage weights for?

    While I was in the process of installing my mud flaps, I noticed that there is some kind of mechanism just ahead of the bumper that looks like a swinging weight. There is one on each side of the vehicle, but I have no idea what it's for. Could one of you fill me in? Thanks

    2012 Ipanema Sand w/ gloss black wheels

    As I understand it, 2012 is the first year with Ipanema Sand and the gloss black wheels being offered as a color combo. Ebony interior was actually what we were looking for and the wheels just happened to be on there. With just over 500 miles on it, we love it! Rainsense wiper sensor is to...

    '12 to be delivered next week. Your thoughts?

    I thought I'd introduce myself to the forum. I currently drive a 2011 CTS-V as my daily driver, but have an '03 Montero Limited as the inclement weather vehicle. I'm keeping the Montero as a back up and beater, but have put a deposit on an LR4 to take its place and to serve as our weekend...
