Showoff Your LR4

[f1racer328]

Hauling around a dump trailer with 1.5 tons of top soil. Guy at Home Depot said this was one of the weirdest vehicles he’s rented a trailer to (one other being a Model X)

Scaled in at 8000 lbs and scaled out at 11040.

Trailer weighs 2200 lbs according to Home Depot’s website, so that checks with our ~5800 curb weight. Tempted to just drive up on the scale with my car empty and see what it weighs in at lol.

With our tight turning radius I was able to back into my yard and swing the trailer right where I needed it. Never would have happened with an F-150.

Love that rear window decal where did you get that from?

If you search american flag mountain decal on Etsy you can find a seller.

My fiancée ordered it for me as a gift, and had to give the seller custom dimensions. It wasn't actually big enough as the stripes should go to the edge of the window, but I applied it anyways and it actually looks good as is.

That guy has lived a sheltered life. Looks perfectly normal to me. Still my favorite color (no..not the orange trailer).

Went off-roading in the Tillamook State Forest today with Jeep friends. Almost earned a t44 rear bumper: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AtjXg-z5Afhpk4de8u40cWTPlXuF7A?e=zcnHpG

Lucky. These vehicles suck in slippery mud/snow or a combination of either.

I was in a very similar situation to you in Moab that almost ended very poorly.

wet roots were really tough. I need to work on my rear wheel placement, I got the front fairly well sorted.

Little different than having a pickup, but a roof rack is actually a lot better with lumber than a short bed. Only annoyance is the hooks on my tie downs are kind of useless now. Replaced a bunch of the hooks with some spliced three strand loops so I just girth hitch around the rail.

I had the same problem with ratchet straps with those same small hooks. I've since bought new straps but I also picked up these Rhino straps that can wrap around the roof rack bar and then attach to the hook.

Updated my 2013 LR4 with Tuffant Kimberly wheels after swapping off my LR3 18" wheels and spacers. Very happy with these wheels. Light, strong, good looking 18" and happy to have gotten rid of the spacers that were always a pain at tire rotation time.
