Those videos would be greatly appreciated. Really looking forward to it. The app development is awesome . Good for you guy. I've been recently looking into buying my first Lr4, I've always liked the look of the vehicle, I am aware of both sides of the mechanical maintenance that it requires so I'm looking into informing myself as best as I can to further my ease on potential problems with the vehicle after choosing the better rover model !?

Nice clean install & agree the app sucks in many ways. They did just update the app & now there are 32 channels per group instead of 16. Would love to see what you can do with an app for this radio. I've have 2 of these radios, 1 in my truck & 1 in the house as a base station.

The Wild Plan app looks fantastic! Of course, I'm an Android user- so I hope it's massively successful! I just bought a 2014 LR4 25th Anniversary Edition and it's my first foray into the Land Rover world. I love it way more than I thought I was going to. I really hope to get it out West and do some overlanding out there eventually (I'm in Florida). Looking forward to following some of your adventures, as well.

Thanks. I really hope to get it on Android in the future. I'll follow up here if I do. Congrats on the LR4, they really are great. Land Rovers can be frustrating but I think it's worth it. This is my second. Third if you count an old Jaguar ;)

I have a 2015 LR4 SCV6 about to hit 10yr/ 100,000 miles🎉 its my 3rd Land Rover , gave up a Gen5 4Runner you spoke of for Landy because I missed my earlier 2012 LR4… I think they are ‘best all around’ . Looked at the new Defender but TBH it seems too ‘bronco’ like. Kinda feel like the LR4 kept traditional look and the new Land Rovers are loosing styling. So I decided to buy her a few birthday overlanding/surf upgrades instead 😅 enjoy yours 🤙🏽

That's awesome. I wanted a 4Runner before getting the LR4 but I'm so glad I didn't go that route. Yes, this LR4 is more quirky, but it's so much better in every way.

When i was a kid the only people who have really wide and fat tires were people who did dedicated rock crawling for the much larger contact patches and not usually having to worry about Sand and Mud. I have no idea how the “big and fat” tire craze happened. Even in the military we didn’t use extremely large tires relative to the vehicle sizes.

I envy you guys that own one of these , I only own a RR evoque ( me and wife share it ) but would love to own a big RR/LR esp for the air suspensions , like you cant understand others changing them to springs to me seems lazy , yes people say its unreliable but everytime I see someone on KZbin fixing them its always on the original bags / sensors to not bad really you can now buy the bags from others at a cheaper price and owning a scanner is a must. To me owning a vehicle like this goes bad most of the time due to bad maintenance or bodgy work by previous owner dont get me wrong a vehicle of this age will have issue due to age the problem is the cost of certain parts but then dont buy one if you cant afford the maintenance or parts its not like a small family 2 wheel car its a beast 4x4 . Anyways only reason I dont own is in the UK road tax cost a fortune also insurance and now the price of fuel nothing like you guys what you pay for the gallon is what we pay for the litre lol P.S if you havent already watch a chanel called LRTIME its a german couple that does a lot of work on these both the LR3/4

@@RajerThatYT Burns through tires fast; am about 60% done a pair of Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws after maybe 15,000 mi which is pretty high usage. I've taken it on many off-road adventures and am just going through a pretty heavy list of "to-dos" now. Immediately I need to replace both drive shafts ($3K damage from off-roading). Soon I'll need to replace tires (see prior point) and then do another full transmission service ("lifetime fluids" is b.s. - think more like every 50K miles), then I'll need to do front and rear sway bar bushings ($1700) and Front lower control arms. most of this is self-inflicted from hard off-road use.

I just aquired a 2002 Discovery 2 wearing 255/55/18 tires. I'm getting 16" steel wheels and going to get 235/85/16 tires. I run 235's on my F250 and it handles excellent. It's also better in snow with 235's. Skinny tires are an upgrade, not a downgrade
@RomeroFamilyFunChallenge3 ай бұрын
good priorities. I'm getting a 2.5 inch lift on my wrangler jk, rather than a 3 or 4 inch lift, and 286/75r17 rather than 35 x12.5x17. Overlanding doesn't require big tires. I'm watching overlanding creators in Australia and they all prefer smaller tires. especially traveling all over the world. Check out "The road chose me". Also, when you air down a narrow tire, it spreads out more front to back and travels more like a track vehicle as apposed to 35's that flatten sideways.

The Range Rover Classic was launched in 1970 with 205 x 16 M+S tyres. They worked incredibly well and contributed to that vehicle's tremendous, legendary performance on and off road. The styling of the standard 2 door vehicle meant that these tyres looked perfect in the wheel arches. They were so good that UK tyre suppliers (not necessarily manufacturers ) Michelin and Blockley, the latter making an exact reproduction of the original tread pattern, have reintroduced them.

Hey that's cool I'm the guy down in Tucson with the gray and black Raptor liner D2 and we spoke before on a different video of yours. Funny I just got an lr3 in Immaculate condition about 3 months ago so I just moved up to the terrain response air suspension World myself LOL I must say it's a little intimidating and a little nerve-wracking but I'm learning it well. I have it on some all-terrain tires already and I'm going to get the sya kit so that I can have a lift but still totally soft . I did rods at first but they stiffen it up too much I want to have it lifted and soft. I am glad to have the 4.4 Jaguar V8 even though it's 300 horsepower. One thing I noticed off-road is you need to press the triangle button to turn off Dynamic stability or it will ruin anything you're doing with traction control working too hard LOL yeah I think off-road the D2 has much better visibility out the front over that little Hood. I think these newer ones are definitely a learning experience even though they try to do the work for you you have to learn how to let them do the work if that makes sense haha I feel like the off-road we have in Arizona doesn't quite fit into any of the categories very well. Yeah the sand mode is but the rest of them are kind of strange because if we go up something that's really cross axles and funky you're thinking Rock crawl but Rock crawl limits the throttle so damn much so I either use Rock crawl but give it tons of pedal or I select no modes and just have it in low range manual mode second. I kept my D2 there's way too much work into it. Early this year I did terra firma a 4-in lift including Johnny joints Tom Woods complete sway bar disconnects everything. I found my lr3 for 5 grand after selling an Audi I purchased at the auction for $1,200 that was in great shape LOL
