The ARB Sahara winch bumper has been straightened out, repainted and installed along with the Superwinch. Im concerned about the stock suspension as they have 215k. Debating on weather I should pull the old terraFirma HD coils and shocks from the parts truck or hold out until Im ready for a completely new Old Man Emu suspension system.

The manual was written well before anyone knew anything about Dexcool.


I've been running rotella 15-40 and green coolant the entire 6 years we've owned our rover and I have yet to have any issues other than the head gaskets.


I guess some people like the increased stress. I love to work on my truck too but I wouldn't put dexcool in it even if it was in the bottle and I had it in the trunk.

I've been thinking and decided you guys were right about the coolant; ... ... ... ... So I've decided to go with genuine LR recommended red coolant. 😃

Nope. Used about a gallon and a half of the diluted formula. But since this LR coolant cant be readily found in any auto parts stores, figured Id get an extra gallon for reserve stock. Always good to have extra fluids on hand 😎

Nope. Ulta-Gauge does not consider idling times. I idle my truck more often in order to power tools, computer and keep electronics charged. When driving for long periods of time I average about 11mpg.

Always a good idea to make it as hard as possible to find parts and fluids for your vehicle. 🙄
