Monstaliner
Has anyone ever used Monstaliner on their L319? My 1992 FJ80 was Monstaliner and it held up well in the Texas sun. It was quite popular amongst the Toyota bros. I’m thinking about doing the faded roof panel in my LR4. Just did the hood with a Topo vinyl blackout and I think a white... -

New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon
Where do you live? I say this BC I’ve run several sets of Terra Grappler G2’s on various 4x4’s in Houston’s torrential downpours & the occasional hurricane and they’ve been stellar on the highway in heavy rain. Much better than any Michelin I’ve owned. -
First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.
Keep $15,000 tucked away for the occasional engine swap. Beyond that, ensure you replace the entire cooling system at first purchase unless you have documentation proving it was done within the prior calendar year. That + 5k oil change intervals and keep an open ear for any timing chain... -
dreaded coolant level warning
At this point I’m trying to find a factory long block. Rumor has it they’re still available. -
dreaded coolant level warning
Well, mine failed the exhaust gas test. That sucks BC this is my second engine. I replaced it about 50k miles ago. Guess I’m on to my 3rd… -
Thoughts on these spark plugs?
New plugs cured the issues. No more misfires and acceleration is fine. Averaging about 20mpg on the highway so fuel mileage isn’t a concern. Now I’ve got a P0430 code that won’t go away -

Do you have the ability to pressure test the system? -
Longevity and Investment
Keep $15,000 lying around so you can replace your engine when it grenades. Otherwise, proceed with mods and maintenance. -

Head Removal
I assume so, the engine swap was done body-on. I’ve seen quite a few people remove the heads body-on. I’m going to do the NS300L kit and may remove the grill, radiator & AC condenser. May as well replace the radiator and all belt driven accessories. What else should I do while it’s apart... -
Head Removal
I picked up a Lexus RX350 recently and retired the Rover. It’s a full on project now. -
Head Removal
How time consuming is it to remove the heads on an AJ133? I ask bc I’m tired of paying shops & getting 1/2 @$$ work in return. I’d rather do it myself so I know someone took their time to do it correctly. Have the know how & tools but realistically I need to budget the time. I’m... -

2011 5.0 head gaskets
Haven’t cracked it open yet but I believe a head bolt has loosened. Based on what I’ve read and conversations I’ve had, they should’ve used heli coils BC the soft blocks are extremely prone to thread degradation after a reman or rebuild. If I were a betting man that’s where I’d place my wager. -

Third head gasket job- why are they failing?
1st 3 were cooling system taking a dump. Finally figured out the “rebuilt” engine wasn’t rebuilt. Now the reman that has about 40k miles on it is pressurizing the cooling system. I’m guessing a head bolt has lost torque. Apparently it’s common if they don’t use block inserts on reassembly. -
Third head gasket job- why are they failing?
I’d never let my kids drive my LR4 but that’s just me. Been stranded 3-4 times too many. -
Coolant Tank / Cap Question
original made 192k miles. Cheapest aftermarket on Rock Auto lasted about 200 miles. Well, it may last 192k if I run their cap but no thanks. I’d like my coolant to be operating at the correct pressure. -
Coolant Tank / Cap Question
It wasn’t leaking. Til it did. Threads failed on the aftermarket tank. Picking up a LR tank today - that one was terrible from a quality perspective. Couldn’t hold designated pressure hence the 110kpa cap. -
Coolant Tank / Cap Question
Been running original cap with 0 issues. Interesting enough, the system is no longer over pressurized at operating temp. No swollen hoses. No pressure the next morning. I’m a bit concerned lol. It’s acting normal. -
P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2) - My car is running great

2011 5.0 head gaskets
I threw a reman engine in and got about 50k miles out of it. Now I’m having a junkyard 5.0 rebuilt by Euro Amp and I’ll toss it in there along with their metal cooling system parts. If this fails I’m buying a D110 and turning the LR4 into a sight target at the ranch.
