    Questions for the IIDTool-saavy

    Thanks for the reply, Steve. Totally understand the difficulty of reverse-engineering the ECU ROMs. Since you mention the rear view camera on vehicles that came without one, is it possible to install the HSE LUX's Vision Assist cameras and get them working on a HSE?

    Rocinante

    Wow. Relax, Tom. This was in my quiet residential neighborhood at 7AM on a Saturday morning. The streets were empty. My wife, the chief arbiter on child safety in our house, approved. The heart of the matter is that sometimes you have to take risks to give your kids an awesome...

    Questions for the IIDTool-saavy

    There are a few computer-related things on my new LR4 that really bug me and I'm wondering if the IIDtool can manage any of this: - Set the outside air vent to "closed - latched" by default. I'm constantly driving down the road and getting whiffs of somebody's cigarette. The cabin air...

    Kicking around an idea for APRS.

    So I ran APRS on my last truck and I'll eventually set it up on this truck. In general, it worked pretty well. My original vision is that me and my friends would all run it and we'd use it to rendezvous out in the desert late at night. That never happened, mostly because they couldn't be...

    Took the 110 for a spin today with my son at the helm.

    Internal 2014 LR4 information

    LOL. The dealers out here barely knew about the 2013 packages in late 2013. The HD package was a mystery to most of these lowlanders here on the Puget Sound. The folks at LR Boise and LR Las Vegas knew what was going on, though, probably because most of their trucks are ordered with HD...

    110 ExMOD Defender

    Wow, that rear crossmember is bizzare. It starts after the tub ends. The frame on this truck looks longer than the standard 110 frame.

    LR3/4 snorkel question

    No, it was directed at OP. I don't follow the logic of installing a raised air intake just to route power to his lights and achieve "style". I don't think raised air intakes are bad at all but I've yet to see a solution that was designed to look as though it belongs on the LR4/3. Perhaps...

    LR3/4 snorkel question

    Wait a sec. So you're considering installing a plastic snorkel on a $60K+ truck for "some style"?

    110 ExMOD Defender

    Those funky rounded covers over the can locker (presumably...) and whatever that is in the back are awesome.

    110 ExMOD Defender

    I've never seen a 110 like that before. What exactly is that?

    Looking for an LR4

    So I ended up working with Adam (transientmechanic) to find and buy my truck. I don't want to go into the details of his service (he can explain everything to you directly) but will say that I found the exact truck I was looking for, found it nearby, and got an incredible deal on it. If...

    LR4 Accessories

    That looks like it would be pretty good for dogs but it wouldn't work with kids so well. You have to be able to attach the carseats to the LATCH system and the carseat manuals caution against putting any material between the carseat base and the seat of the car. I'll post a photo in the other...

    LR4 Accessories

    I used to make fun of this crap mercilessly before I had a little monster of my own. It's pretty amazing how determined to break stuff these little guys can be and how quickly all of my cool-guy ideals went out the window. On a more positive note, my little guy is now saying "Rohrer" every...

    LR4 Accessories

    Glad to hear that the new covers are solid. I'll try to post some photos when I get them installed. I only bought the first and second row covers. Covers for the third row were almost $900.

    LR4 Accessories

    Thanks, David. LR Niello had everything I needed. I'm in the same boat with the car seat. My son has entered the "destroy all things" phase and I need to get something between his feet and my new seats.

    LR4 Accessories

    Looking for some Genuine seat covers for my 2013 LR4. Need the driver and passenger covers, along with covers for the second row (I have a seven-seat truck). Is there a good place to mail order these stateside without paying full retail at the dealership?

    Moab Trails Suggestions for Next Saturday

    Forget about Moab and all of its trash. Head south to Needles and the Abajos. There's an infinite number of day-long runs with a little map recon first.

    Looking for an LR4

    Yep. The Tundra wasn't doing it for me. It was just okay for family road trips but parking it around town is a nightmare and offroad, it was a TuRD. Most incapable 4WD system I've ever driven.

    Looking for an LR4

    Thanks all, I think I found my truck. Locally, too.
