Nice! Tri-x is great. I just picked up a nikon f3 yesterday... the film bug bites hard after a long stint with digital.

I like to be as worry free as possible on trips and mostly use a Minolta SRT 101 35mm, I picked it up for $25 with a solid 50mm kit lens and the thing is a tank- solid brass body (black pro body) and fully mechanical - no batteries required. The price and nature of it is nice too when taking...

Definitely hard to narrow down but probably this wild brookie from a small freestone in central PA (Schrader's Creek). Brought him in on a 3wt cane rod I made which was immensely satisfying; definitely had it bent over pretty good and got scared it was going to snap for a minute!

Sure thing, where will you be? Lots of great beer around.

Evidently my fan clutch isn't the issue and I can't figure out why but the engine keeps wanting to overheat. The hoses appear to keep overpressurizing even though I know I have good flow and have flushed and can't find any evidence of a clog anywhere, new radiator cap, and it passes the sulphur...

Been busy on the truck! Finally got the monsterliner and got that done. I am very happy with the product and definitely recommend it. With proper prep and tools it isn't hard to get a good result. I tore the engine down to the heads again and redid my valve stem seals, and serviced the hydraulic...

We have just really wanted to go up there and drive the coast for awhile, I have spent a lot of time in Maine but never gone further North. ever been to that area?

Been awhile since last post... haven't done much to the truck. Had a few coolant system issues with hoses blowing, heater core leaking and soldering back together mixed with flamboyant profanity. Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone had any good lists of montero specific parts/kit components...

Any thought to parting it out? I have a 1991 Monty and would definitely be interested In parts of you go that route, definitely sucks the engine went bad...

still for sale? if so any chance of some pictures?

Driver side...

Sweet thanks for the advice- I just picked up some valve stem seals today and have some lash adjusters coming in. Hopefully this weekend everything can be addressed. Does anyone have any sources for aesthetic/body parts? I have been driving myself crazy looking for one of the exterior...

Excellent tips, thank you all. I am definitely impressed with the platform and my buddies who all have landcruisers are even impressed with the quality. I will definitely have to go back in and check everything we did, and make sure everything is still tensioned properly. It has gone about 500...

That looks really good, I was thinking of doing the "blood bath" color or a forest green. You also answered another question I had of whether they would look good with a white roof or not!
