whatever Rob. like you never thought about tossing a Thule Mega Warrior rack on the Cobalt and a splash of Patagonia, TNF and Cliff Bar stickers. then off to high dessert with your 'Raising Arizona' wife beater and flip flops.
i mean what's the big deal? i still have not unpacked from MAR.

Maybe he spent all his dough on a the truck and lives in it out by the salt mines...
Maybe he doesn't have a garage to store his expedition gear in...
Maybe he enjoys strangers coming up to him and asking about his trip around the world and they all have a good laugh when he says he just ran down to pick up some more Ben and jerry's for the kids soccer game.
Maybe taking all the gear off makes it looks incomplete, and because of the recurring nightmares of being caught on the first day of school naked he must keep it fully dressed at all times.
He could just be a big fan of the whole thing and hopes someone checks out the truck and goes to check out what they can do to give some $$$ to parkinsons research.
Who knows to many variables...

I believe that a service advisor at LR Alexandria bought the one they were sitting on, one of the 2 Rosenthal had went to an owner in Alexandria who was trying to sell it a few months ago. Apparently the one from LRA was a press vehichle that stayed in LA the entire time as a back-up truck.

I almost bought one of them- but it had a leaky/bad rear hub. They said they'd fix it, but then when it came down to the paperwork- things didn't go well so I wrote a check for the Cert Used G4 they had and that was the end of it. I wanted them to put in writing that they'd fix a long list of problems as part of the deal.

I don't think you should admit that in this forum. Your admitting to being a total clueless dick head. Much like most other Stealership service providers.

Yeah, unfortunately I have to deal with the stigma of the job thanks to other a-holes who have taken advantage of their clients. Just for the record, I have told quite a few owners to sell their vehicles, rather than dump ten grand into a two grand vehicle. I actually do care about my clients, and their trucks. The golden rule, ya know?

I sold my RRC 5 years ago due to the advice of my tech and advisor. I could have spent lot's of cash fixing the truck, but they said it wasn't worth it...
Not all of them are bad...
Nice to know there are some honest dealership folks out there....I was actually perusing the LR Alexandria website about a week ago, and got some nice feedback from a sale associate via email. If I ever buy another new or at least certified LR, I'll come up there.
PS I really like the Longitude vehicles....but are they 03s or 04s? How many were made?

Thanks for the kind words, you're welcome to come up anytime. There were eight vehicles made, four of which went on the actual expedition, four stayed in the states serving various other functions. (one toured schools to teach childer about Parkinsons disease, one was hel in a warehouse as a back up vehicle (mine, #7), and the other two toured the auto show circuit to the best of my understanding.
They were 03's by the way

well, I'm friends with everyone in the service department since i worked there for two years, so that helps a lot...
Hey, how did those things fare without lockers? Or did you install lockers?
I keep asking questions like that for my wife's car, even though I know it's the one that is off limits to off-road upgrades.

I have been in a couple of situations that required the winch, which I'm pretty sure I could have gotten out of had I had lockers installed. It's definatley on my list of to do items since it won't make a visual impact on the vehicle. (I don't want to change anything on the exterior of the vehicle due to it being one of only 8 made, so I'll concentrate on improvements that are not readily visible).
I have so far installed seat heaters, a heated windshield, k&n filter, and a pioneer avic n3 nav unit with xm nav traffic & iPod interface to replace the pos garmin unit that came with the truck. Next up is a synthetic winche line with poly rollers, and a borla exhaust.
