Hi again all.

Apologies for another tyre thread, I'll accept my punishment as dished out.

I have an altitude with 42k on the stock 19 inch Bridgestones (Dueler HL (d400). They are shagged.

I got cheap a set of 17inch Kluger alloys (X5) with all but brand new stock Dunlop Grandtrec tyres. ( if anyone wants to make an offer, let me know, pics can be taken)

I thinking seriously about putting Cooper ST's on the 17 inch as I want to do a trip to lake Eyre with my camper trailer.

As i can hear the critic's already, I know the Kluger isnt serious 4wd, nor do I plan on serious 4wd. But I also know the best upgrade would be a better set of tyres. has anyone put AT's on a Kluger instead of the Highway tires ive been reading about on the other threads.

I also plan to put Highway tires back on the 19 inch for the highway use (the majortiy) and change wheels whe I plan a trip with the camper.

Ive researched a fair bit with tires, I'm aware of the diameter difference etc.

Just wondering what other people's experience with this is???

Thanks all in advance

Hey, also, does anyone even know how much space we have around the spare wheel. I'm not sure now if a cooper ST will fit in the spare tyre area. If not, that blows a hole in that tyre choice.

For anyone that is interested, I just looked at the spare wheel area.

There is a PVC tyre cover, that is a neat fit around the standard 19inch bridgestone combination. Therefore, this cover will not fit over any tyre that is larger, and the Cooper ST is 20mm larger for the 245/70/17 and 40mm for the 265/70/17.

I'm pretty sure the new wheel/tyre will still fit without the cover, so I am going to jump in and oder the tyres today. I think then what I will do, once I have the setup, is do some creative mod to the cover, so that it still at least protects from underneath, and from the front, assuming any bedri that may hit the tyre, will hit the front.

I'll take some pics of the surgery if anyone is interested.

I'm going the 265 tyre, and will get approx extra 20mm ground clearance, and I'm punting, based on the calc's I have done, that the speedo will just about be perfect.

I have just put on Cooper CTS on my KX-R.

Done about 3,000 km mix of dirt roads and mainly bitumen . They seem to be good with no more road noise than the Dunlops.

Was tempted bu the ST's from Cooper but in the end went for the CTS.

Hi again,

Well, I screwed up with the tyre size. The 245/70 17 Cooper ST will fit, but the 265 wont, it will rub the rear shock absorber.

Hoping to get these fitted on saturday, will keep the forum posted.

cheers

I've just put those on too! (Just 3 days ago.) My KX-R had done 48000 km on the original tyres. The dealer said the Coopers come with min 70000 km warranty, and they were $10 cheaper than Bridgestone D683.

They are 20mm bigger than the stock bridgestone 19inch combination. I had to modify the spare wheel cover to cater for the larger tyre. My logic was that the cover still protects from underneath and from the front, which is where most, if not all damage to the tyre would come from.

Hope this info is usefull.post-18895-12735321031_thumb.jpgpost-18895-127353211237_thumb.jpg

Hi Scott, I have posted pics on the forum. It appears I didn't "shrink" the pics enough, but you will get the drift.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
