A Few New Accessories...

Glad to see some pictures David. It looks great. Congrats

Looks great! But yeah, where's the antenna?

Sweet! I would get nearly enough (frequent) use out of the expedition rack to justify one, but it looks awesome.

I did notice when I brought the family for the final blessing on the LR4 purchase, that I will need some kind of step for the kids. The OEM running boards seem alright, but I am wondering if I should go with a black tube like you have. Do you know how they compare with the OEM boards in terms of size/cost? Yours look nice. Although I thought there OEM tubes as well.

How is it that you don't have a sat/nav. antenna on your roof glass...?

I was wondering the same thing, but I do not have Satellite/HD radio (I barely listen to music). Is that why? There is a small flat antennae unit there, but it's almost flush.

You can definitely use them as a step, though you may want to get some non-stick grip tape or something since the powder-coated black bars can be slippery when they are wet. There are OEM tubes, but I think when I saw them on an LR4 at the dealership, they do not stick out as much as some of the aftermarket options. Mine are the sill protectors with 45/45 outriggers from Urban Offroad. I think you can even get 45/90 or even 90/90 for a bit more step. The OEM running boards are nice, and probably provide the best step, but a lot of folks who go off-roading do not have them because they would get ruined. I think they are pretty expensive as well, over $1,000 I believe. I know Romik makes a couple aftermarket options for much cheaper, though I don't know much about them. Mine were $699.00.

I hope that helps.

I am confused now because when I look online at a few 2013s (even what seems to be without Satellite/HD radio), they have the antennae?

My navigation works great, so did they maybe change the antennae for late 2013s? Or, is it just because I do not have Satellite/HD? Weird.

Looking really good.

I thought you got a lux? Isn't SAT standard?

I do have Lux, yes. No, HD/Satellite radio is not standard.
