    Recovery Rope or Recovery Strap?

    I would not recommend using a kinetic strap/rope during a winch (static) recovery. Instead, insert a winch extension (static) rope/strap to reach the anchor point. Cheers

    New Gen3 Montero Owner...2001 XLS

    I found that stmtuned often had the best price for OEM ATF as well. Cheers

    Recovery Rope or Recovery Strap?

    I have always preferred recovery (kinetic) straps over ropes (like Bubba ropes), because they store in a smaller space. Cheers

    Post your Mitsubishi Pajero Pics

    Some folks remove the rocker cladding (it's not a sticker). One fella took the time to fill in (weld) the attachment holes, It came out clean. The rear bumper cladding that wraps into the wheel well is all part of the bumper. Cheers

    2002 montero limited rear end rumble/vibration over 50mph

    Swapping out the rear diff. bushings can be done without the rig on a lift, but it's certainly harder. A few years back I had a blinking center diff. light. I disconnected each electrical connection, one at a time, from the transfer case and checked for corrosion. I ended up cleaning them and...

    2002 montero limited rear end rumble/vibration over 50mph

    I wouldn't recommend the "dilution method" if you have never done a complete flush with OEM fluid. If a previous owner did not use OEM fluid, that could be the reason for the vibrations/shuddering. Complete flush takes about 12 quarts. These transmissions are bullet proof if care for properly...

    Just curious...when was the last time you flushed the transmission fluid? Did you use M.M. fluid? Cheers

    2002 montero limited rear end rumble/vibration over 50mph

    When inspecting the front two mounts, it appears to have a line (crack) all the way around the bushing. You might also inspect your rear differential mounts. Cheers

    Have you inspected the engine mounts? Both of the front engine mounts were completly broken in half when I replaced them after over 200K miles of use/abuse. Cheers

    Help with first build for my 2011 Tundra

    Since you're predicting approximately 1,000lbs of constant weight, you should consider pulling the trigger on some Deaver springs in the rear. I think you'd be looking at the stage 3 springs for that weight range. Mate these with some quality shocks and coil/overs up front for a nice ride when...

    SO, school me - I am a Toyota guy, with a problem....

    Have you thought about something like a Geo Tracker/Suzuki Sidekick? These flat tow very well, and can wheel (when properly set up). ...a six month trip, what a blessing! Cheers

    General gripe

    As far as pants go...Ben Davis for the win. I've been backpacking, camping, climbing, and working in them for decades. Cheers

    NL DC25 lithium wall charger

    I believe that National Luna makes a plug to use when charging off of 110 at home. It plugs into the port in the photo. Cheers
