The LR 4 isn't totaled, right? It looks pretty good!

Doesn't look hateful to me either, probably wasn't that hard of a hit, but reworking the suspension would suck and be pricey as all heck (for an insurance company)

You have more faith then I do! lol.....

Good thing nobody's kids were playing in their own yard when she was learning her valuable lesson! Five kids have been killed in residential neighborhoods here in my local SoCal area over the last three years, three of which were by teenagers on cell phones, the other two drunk drivers in the daytime. Dramatic?!?! Maybe, but I don't have the same faith as you do is all I'm saying.

Anywho, like I said, get that kit off and ready for the new wagon! Good luck, glad nobody was hurt!

Exactly. Thats what I told her. She was lucky she didn't kill someone. Five houses down there is a yard sign that says "drive like your kids live here"

Totaled out with what they could assess, and there was more damage related to suspension that wasn't even detailed out yet. I can't complain, the offer was what i paid for it a year ago. Still a major pita.

I'm going to be selling full frontrunner rack, ladder, hitch. LR3 18" spare with a nice tire, a $^%#%# IID tool that i JUST bought, rear cargo retractable cover. In SW Michigan if anyone is interested.

Appreciate the condolences. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the LR4 disabled by moronic young people charity fund.

why not get another lr4 or lr3? that way your investment will not go to waste? a license for gap iid tool is 30 bucks if I remember correctly.... don't quote me on it...

Grab the wrenches and transfer to another LR. You won't be happy with any other vehicle.

I'm angling that direction. Might get a 3 and save some $$. Went thru the hassle of getting 18" rims and spacers etc. I couldn't salvage those. Don't really want to go thru that again.

Crazy. Glad everyone is ok. I'd buy the iid tool if you decide to sell it.

My beloved 4 has been reborn as an almost identical (color anyway) 2008 LR3. I came close to getting an LX470 but it fell through. I'm happy with this one. The 4.4 is super quiet. Not going to put the FR rack back on. I couldn't' hear myself think with that thing. Any feedback on the effectiveness of their wind fairing??

So actually I heard someone recently mention how awesome the FR fairing works. It might've been someone as picky as you and I, maybe the guy in NoVA ... @Ray_G ? I am planning to try one on my Hannibal rack when I get back to WA.

The Prospeed rack is dead quiet. It sits flush with your roof line. Wish I had known where it was when I bought my Bajarack.

Lucky 8 sells them now.

The FR one is fantastic! I was driving down the highway with the sunroof open this morning and was admiring how quiet it was. It's probably better than it was before the rack. Do not buy one of their racks without the wind fairing!

I had a 3/4 FR rack w/no fairing-it was loud. Switched to Prospeed, which is silent. Added RTT which has created some wind noise but that's ok.

Def concur that the FR fairing is a must.

It took me 7 months to arrive at that conclusion too. 2008 LR3 HSE. I actually like it better than the 4
