    Done with my 4runner: lack of originality, room and HP.

    At 47, never married and no kids, I was a full time gigolo/bachelor who explored that realm of life to exhaustion. I found a wonderful woman with two amazing children...I held out for all the right reasons and found my gal. I do have a new sprinter that I'll eventually build out, but the size...

    That's a fair assessment. There's a real love/hate relationship associated with LR's. Especially the Disco 2. The LC is still a very nice option but I can't get over the aesthetic of the 99-2004ish body style...it's the front end. I'm trying to keep this budget under 20k so that's my range...

    I understand LR's have a lot of reliability issues with their vehicles but the '07 and '08 LR3's and '09-'13 LR4's are rated quite favorably. Doing a little research on a variety of forums, most people love them. Most of their quirks can be resolved with a Gap Diagnostic Tool. I'll be clear...

    Land Rovers are a little like small town gossip. One local gal decides to have a fling and suddenly the whole town calls her a clown whore, has the clap laced with herpes, and aborted her meth baby. Point is, not all is true with the Land Rover...the Disco 2 was the classic abomination from my...

    Huh, you're right. I just looked up the volume capacity and all 3 are eerily similar. I had a friend with an LR3 and it seemed much more roomy, loved the off road capabilities and comfort. The real knock for me is the underwhelming performance of my 4runner's towing capacity. My off road...

    Anyone else just bored with their 4runner? Everywhere I look here in the PNW, everyone has one that's modified and tricked out with similar accessories. I'm probably going to sell my 2010, tastefully modified, low mileage 4runner. The final straw was taking my fiancé, two kids, dog and...

    Quietest Full Length Roof Rack

    Full length LFD aluminum for me. I previously had the Ecotechne mounted. Both racks were equally as quiet....as far as having a full length racks go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nitto Ridge Grappler Tire Damage

    Crazy to hear all these responses...I guess I found the perfect compound with regards to my Nittos. The light snow use I did have was not great but I don’t drive in the snow much at all. I’ll think real hard on my next tire purchase after reading these experiences. Perhaps I got lucky. Sent...

    Nitto Ridge Grappler Tire Damage

    I have just over 50,000 miles on my Nitto’s with similar driving conditions as you state. They have been phenomenal! I just had them rotated a couple weeks ago and the folks at Discount Tire couldn’t believe how well they’ve warn. They measured at 11/32. I’m running 285/70 R17 c rated. They’ve...

    Should I get these wheels?

    Motegi wheels all day long! Why roll around with TRD wheels like everyone else? Seriously, don't wait for the next reply, close thread and go get em!!

    Investing more into 2010 or buy new/newer?

    That's a clean looking bumper...I like it. I hadn't been on C4's website in a while and didn't realize they had this offering. Thanks! Thanks all...I see both sides but ultimately, I think keeping mine, upgrading it and running it hard is the right decision. Also, waiting to see how the 6th...

    Investing more into 2010 or buy new/newer?

    I've read a bit about this. Certainly opens more options and cheaper. I really dig LFD's hybrid bumper. I hear yah...and I'd probably have more reservations about the scratches, dents and dings, muddy and sandy messes. That's just it...a newer one won't perform any better. I've been...

    Investing more into 2010 or buy new/newer?

    I was thinking the same thing. I would definitely keep my SCS wheels being they were a pain to actually purchase. Also, probably keep the rack and ladder. Bumpers would be tough...hard to sell my 4runner if I retrofitted the body. Accessories don't hold their value much...except for a very...

    Investing more into 2010 or buy new/newer?

    I've made small upgrades to my 2010. Fox shocks, C4 Fab sliders, SCS wheels, tires, gone through two roof racks, now loving my LFD full aluminum. I'm at 127,000 miles now and realize I'll probably have at least another 100,000 relatively trouble free miles. I'm looking into upgrading the front...
