It's amazing what a capable stock vehicle will do. Thats why I am focusing on protection. That and tires are the most important things in my experience. It appears the LR4 has some areas that could use more protection. Especially from rocks which is all we have out here in Colorado. As with...
Ahh, that makes sense. But they are nearly 14inch's. Thats HUGE. They could have just made the rotor thicker for more heat absorbing capacity. I did that on a track car once. Adding 1/4 inch made a BIG difference. I bet they could have done something similar and made some 18" wheels to...
OK, I don't get this part of it very well. I have only looked at new. On the new you want the HD package as like you said you get the Low Range Gearbox etc. I guess what your saying is if I buy a USED 11-13 LR4 it's going to have the Low Range but maybe NOT the full sized spare. I don't know...

All the LR4's I looked at are 19 inch. 255/55/19. I looked at tires. But I may buy used so I don't know what it would come with. But I won't buy a LR4 with 20's. Sliders are not only for sliding. They are also protecting the body running board area. Just like underbody protection is for...
I am not worried about the truck making it on the trails. I watched videos of what it can do fairly easily it seems. Plus, I don't really go crazy. But I have never cut a tire on my Tundra. but they are tall sidewall tires. It does bother me to not have a full size spare. That seems very...
So I am seriously considering a LR4. I will be taking it into the trails of Moab and Colorado. Primarily because it rides so well and is perfect in so many ways for the task at hand. I am concerned about several things.
1) Underbody protection? Is it adequate? I put nice thick skid...
