255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
very true, excuse the attitude of my previous post lol one of those days yesterday ive had very good luck with the good year wrangler duratrac, you and avslash are right, for serious off road the first limiting factor is tire size. I guess the big question to ask yourself before choosing... -

255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
I agree with Fields Carlisle. I’ve got the 255-55-r19 duratrac on my LR 4 and they are quite noisy on the highway( nothing unbearable and it’s more like a lower pitch rumble) but these tires are GREAT on and off road. So far I’ve put around 37,000 miles on mine( had them installed at 136,000 and... -
Deflating Cooper Zeon XTZ
I don’t know about the cooper tires but my good year wrangler duratrac do fine in the sand. I Have done a lot of beach driving with them in some pretty soft stuff and running them at the 32psi front and 42psi rear has never given me problems. On my old Range Rover with 20” rims I actually would... -
Transmission concerns
And as for getting that sleeve in, what finally did the trick was cutting a piece of 2x2 into a 1” tall square that fit ontop of the sleeve and putting a pry bar on the center of that and using the frame rail as a fulcrum. That way you can put some force on it without the fear of cracking or... -
Transmission concerns
Yeah put one more full qt in this morning. Headed to get it detailed then will check it again after it cools...those Catalytic converters get hot! The burn blister on my arm is proof lol -
Block heater
Oh gotcha, yeah I don’t know exactly where I’ll be yet but thanks, that’s good to know -
Transmission concerns
Thanks for everyone’s help. It’s nice being reassured you’re doing it right by people who have done it before! These forums are GREAT -
Transmission concerns
Sorry for the late update, yes got everything finished. Static filled 3 quarts then 2 more after cycling through the gears. Drove it around my neighborhood and it shifts like brand new! I got nervous it wasn’t downshifting but everything is perfect, it’s just so smooth you can’t feel it... -
Transmission concerns
alright I'm almost to the finish line but reinstalling the sleeve is giving me quite the headache. I saw that you have to apply force to the sleeve when closing the white tab. I just have a fear of cracking the new sleeve. its installed correctly(tab straight down) and appears to be all the way... -
Transmission concerns
I thought unplugging it would be fine but trying to get the sleeve out now.....piece by piece. Tried prying with a screw driver but it cracked so working in figuring out plan B -
Transmission concerns
Did getting the mecktronic unit down give you any issues? Mine seems to be hung up on one corner( there the white plastic release clip is) -
Transmission concerns
Occasionally a weird downshift(clunk into gear) and in the mornings the first shift after start up kinda holds out to 2200rpm then once trans is warm it shifts perfect. -
Transmission concerns
So.....hit my first problem. Drained the transmission fluid and it’s red... I assumed it would be filled with the ZF(clear) which is what I bought to refill it. I’m assuming it won’t matter mixing the fluid..? I’ve read about the people switching to the Mercron(red) fluid but because there is no... -
Transmission concerns
I’m headed home to do my transmission fluid change, valve block seal and 4 valve body seals. Just want to double check that I DO NOT need a transmission adaption reset or any sort of programming. Obviously the *mectronic* unit comes down to replace the seals but I just need to be sure that I... -

Front of the engine oil leak
tightened the bolts/screws that hold it in place. need to pull the skid plate off to check it again. new pump was quite pricy so I don't think ill be changing it out. -
Block heater
any way someone can snap a picture of it? moving to Alaska sometime within the next 6 months and originally thought I didn't need to add any heaters but the car will be sitting outside( 15 days on/15 days off schedule) -
2012 LR4 with Early AMK Compressor Failure
I got 168,000 on mine before I got the “only normal height available “ “system cooling” along with a few other messages. Let it sit over night and haven’t had an issue since.... but it’s alway in the back of my mind when I go on long trips. Almost 170 out of a air compressor to me is amazing and... -
Front of the engine oil leak
Yeah good idea, I’ll give it a try. After watching a video on the timing chain guid replacement, from what I could tell you need to drain the oil when you remove vaccine pump -
Heated windshields
when only 1/2 of the windshield heats its a blown fuse, there are 2 fuses for the front windshield. one operated the left side and one for the right. in the center of the glass(inline with the rear view mirror) you can actually see a 1/4 inch space where the left side heating element ends and... -
Front of the engine oil leak
yeah I did the same thing, now got to spend another $70 on 3 more quarts of fluid... can I mix the 7 quarts of ZF with 3 Mercron SP? I guess the other option is returning the kit and buying the pan upgrade from AB and all the fluid elsewhere. I never like mixing fluids.... as for the mercon sp... -
Front of the engine oil leak
Yup orderd the pan kit from AB(including the ZF oil) 12 quarts? How did you flush the torque converter? Also got the 4 sleeve and the adapter seal( the double square gasket looking thing) didn’t get the solenoids though,( I haven’t bought the IID tool yet so I can’t perform any transmission...
