Considering a LR4 to replace my 99 D1

[Ho]

does the LC100 still have the corolla trans shifter cover?

I don't know the details of what's been redone, but for me the best parts of LR4 are the color matching flares and bumpers.

For me the best part is the 5.0L motor. They had the colour matched fender flares in '09 too.

Well I love my '06 LR3. But at 74k it sounds like the rear diff., is going out. This is a common problem with the LR3. The sound is like metal to metal grinding. And no it is not the brakes, that I have checked. Rebuilt diff., is 900, labor I do not know yet. I went from a '95 RRC LWB to this LR3, and it is night and day. I hear that people really enjoy the improvements the LR4 offers over the LR3 too. It seems almost impossible that I get into the low 20's on the highway also! I barely managed 15 in the RRC.

From what I've heard and seen (my family has an LR3) the current vehicles are not as bad as say the DII, our LR3 hasn't had any problems and is a comfortable vehicle. With that said I will probably be selling my DII this summer and either getting an 07/08 RR or new LR4. I think some have had issues with the camera system (mirrors, back, for monitoring blind spots).

robert, how the hell will you be able to afford either one of those vehicles?!

07-08 RR's are waaaaay overpriced at the moment. you can find a 06 for half of what an 07 is being sold for, no lie.

Correct. Sounds like the '07+ RRs had a lot less issues.

not really. 06+ is jag running gear, only minor interior changes. ive started seeing quite a few 06's coming in with upwards of 90-100k on them and really no issues. they are a much more solid truck than people thought.

Where did you hear that? That's definitely not the case in this area. The only reason they would have more problems is because of age/mileage. 07/08's still have radiators failing at 10k miles...
