    How close are the mounting points on the TJ bumpers to matching up with the Montero frame horns?

    Installed a navigation computer today. It's the same Acer One I use in my Gen I. It comes w/ an 8GB SSD drive and an 8GB SD card (Class 6). I upgraded the card to a 16GB version and I run both NatGeo Topo CA (hi res topo maps) and MS Streets & Trips.



    So far, so good!!

    It's simply 1/16" aluminum plate. I cut & bent it to fit. You also have to trim a bit of the dash that's underneath the gauges. It can't be seen though even if remove the mount. I can remove my gauge cover and take a pic if you need me to.



    Took it out on it's virgin off road trip. Bumpy off camber hills. No issues whatsoever with the mount off road. On road it sometimes has a tendency to bounce due to road vibrations/oscillations.

    Default Added rear window screens.

    As part of my plan to set this rig up so I can also use it in lieu of a tent, I'm also making up a pair of window screens for the rear windows.

    Here are a couple of pics of the one I've made so far...



    It's simply a 'sock' that fits snugly over the window section of the rear doors. The only 'open' area where bugs might get in is at the bottom and I'm holding that in place using magnets. and the screen material is pretty bunched up there so bugs won't be able to get in even if they tried.

    1996 Montero SR (3.5L v6, rear Locker), 35" mudders, 3.15:1 xcase crawler gears
