Selling the LR4
I completely agree with the group therapy angle. I have thought more than once that I enjoy posting here to a group of LR4 enthusiasts just to knock ideas around. Sort of like sitting around over a beer with like minded folk. -
Selling the LR4
Always a bit mystified by sellers struggling to come up with an asking price for the mighty LR4. I know as well as anyone that it becomes a good friend over the years but still… I’ve had my 2012 on the ‘sell block’ before and pulled it back off, but you need to find a price you can live with and... -
At Long Last... Modern head unit!
The Pioneer unit I have does a good job. Better screen, better audio… CarPlay connects most of the time. You do lose most of the 4x4 screen functions and the internal clock is a challenge to keep on time (Pioneer HU has all the time you need), but for 99% of what I use daily, significant... -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
Really great input all. I don’t have any problem installing myself now that I hear what’s involved. I’m not in the perfect situation currently, ‘garage wise’, but I have a lift that will do the job and I’m sure I can cajole a buddy into helping. FYI… the indy LR shop is saying labor will be... -
Showoff Your LR4
Going to the 18s and the KO2s 265/65 has made for an even better snow machine. -

Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
I had a brief moment of madness when I thought I would sell the LR4 and get a Defender… it passed. I see it having a life as a treasured third vehicle down the road - ready for select adventures throughout the Rockies. I drove it from Colorado to the east coast and back last October - bit of a... -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
An hour total? This includes removal of the original bumper? Local LR indy shop must be charging close to 1.5 days labor -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
Yes, some great access out this way and the 4x4 look is quite a bit more common in these parts. You having done the chain(s) would be a big relief. If I just do it myself that makes it a lot more tolerable. Anyone ever use a hitch mount for a dirt bike with the Tactical? I’m guessing it’s... -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
Hmmm… I had no idea it was that easy. I would be doing it by myself as well. That would make a big difference. This is why I throw things out here -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
Yea, well, I’m not putting this on myself and labor is the equal of the parts so… it’ll be in that range. -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
It’s definitely a ‘gut’ call but sometimes throwing it out there to this group yields new insights. The ‘investment’ in the rear bumper is in the 25% of total vehicle worth category I think. It’s a great adventure vehicle, no doubt. -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
Woukd be interested in hearing thoughts on spending an easy $4k on a Tactical 4x4 rear bumper and tire carrier. My LR4 has been super low maintenance and reliable but she’s getting up there in miles. Am I nuts to make this investment now (I really like the Tactical offering and woukd like to get... -
LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended
A good thread never dies… I just replaced the fogs and the low beams with the Phillips Crystal Vision H11s and what an improvement! After 10 years it was time for a refresh. Thanks to all who contributed on this thread. -
When is it time to say goodbye?
12% of that figure has been my number as an average over 10 years. -
When is it time to say goodbye?
I have owned my LR4 for 10 years and a Tesla for 5, and they officially qualify as 'best vehicles’ ever. Somewhere between the two is some decent gas mileage one hopes. I think about selling the LR4 a little more often these days @ 100,000+ but it's tough to pull the trigger for a lot of the... -

Control arm questions
I replaced the fronts only at 80k. It was time and you could tell while driving. The rear were fine and still seem to be at 104k. There are more experienced people here but seems it’s primarily the feints that need to immediate attention. -
When is it time to say goodbye?
I’m sorry. My post wasn’t very clear. I was just trying to point out that the LR4 ‘can be’ a reliable 100k+ vehicle and daily driver especially as forum posts favor mostly the issues. Nonetheless, if reliability and economy are your goals for your daily driver, there are many better bets than... -
When is it time to say goodbye?
My 2012 LR4 with 103k has been a joy. It performed flawlessly as a daily driver and now is aging gracefully into an off-road adventure vehicle. Ride comfort, cargo space and off-road capability… -
LR3 18" wheels on Defender 90
Now if only I had waited for these 18” wheels for the LR4! Lol the spacers have worked out fine with the LR3 wheels though it never feels quite as good as just the wheel.- magus

I’ve been SCAMMED
#WORD! I’ve made this mistake in the past as well. Fortunately a relatively inexpensive motorcycle part it still, what an idiot I was. When you get excited about something it can be amazing how you convince yourself sometimes. I am not as down on CL as some here but wiring money is an absolute...- magus

LR3 18" wheels on Defender 90
I really have looked for this answer and see a lot of "will the new Defender 18" wheels fit on this <name vehicle>..." but I'm trying to understand if LR3 18" wheels will fit on a new Defender 90. I have some fitted on my LR4 (with spacers) and as I am getting close to buying a Defender 90, it...- magus
