Warning: It's hard to stop the ball once you get it rolling!
Thanks.

jwest....you drive 100,000 miles per year?

Geezus....Road Warrior!

Nobody on here does that. I said the 80-100 period. It was in response to buying a warranty at 80k.

I guess it's off to study the tire threads, continentals aren't going to do it for very long.

That was the first thing I did - order a set of Cooper Zeon LTZ tires for the used LR4.

Well, I finally made the call yesterday to trade the old girl in. She was is great condition, 105,000 miles and there was no good reason other than wanting something new. I would have preferred to buy a Land Rover, but I want to see what the new Discovery looks like in the next 18 to 24 months. The LR4 is too similar to my truck to justify the upgrade. The RR Sport doesn't wheel like the LR3 and the big RR is just not my style.

I went with a 2014 AEV JK 350 Unlimited Rubicon that I found with 5,000 miles on it. We'll see how it does in comparison. I have run some of the hardest trails in Colorado and Utah in the LR3 with a sensor rod lift and 33 inch tires... so its going to take a lot to impress me. But man, this Jeep really looks cool IMO and is totally built up and to the highest standards.

...looks pretty awesome. Won't be as versatile but will wheel like crazy.

it looks cool indeed but isn't it missing a winch? remember it is not a Landy so you may need it more often.
hahaha just kidding, enjoy !

It actually does have a winch. A warn 9500 lb winch with synthetic line. It has a cool stealth license plate cover over it.

ohhh that's why I missed it...
