Ok so I had been using my LG G-Pad to test out some of the different GPS apps - Maps.Me, Backcountry Navigator, Orux, etc. I was having problems with the GPS basically not keeping up with my location. I especially noticed it in Maps.Me since I'm using it for general nav purposes. Basically...

Ok so I need tires but I'm looking to spend about a grand, kind of on a tight budget with a baby on the way. I've been leaning toward an MT for increased off road performance but I came across the Goodyear Duratracs and they piqued my interest. Most ATs seem to have mediocre performance at...

What's yours? I'm playing with the free/trial version of Backcountry Navigator on ky phone right now, seems like a decent app, albeit a little confusing. We don't live anywhere near trails so I can't really test it out, either. We have an iPad and an LG Android tablet so we're thinking we...

I'm looking into HAM mainly for emergency comms when the wife and I are out in the boonies and two things have been brought to my attention. First, using VHF/UHF out in the boonies may or may not be the most reliable if I can't find a repeater, or if nobody is monitoring said repeater. Second...

I'm trying to figure out the best solution for spare fuel. The tailgate doesn't swing, it lifts. So mounting a carrier on the tailgate is not an option. I considered a carrier mounted to the hitch receiver but the ones I've found all ride too low to have any ground clearance, too high opening...

Since the hubs have to come off to do the brake rotors I figured I might as well replace the bearings since I have no idea how old they are. Then I thought, why not do this the easy way and buy complete hub assemblies with the bearings already pressed in. That sounded like a great idea, except...

I was helping my brother-in-law clean out his storage unit and he had a pair of new Monroe front shocks for an unknown vehicle (we're both mechanics and do sidework so we constantly have random parts laying around) but he thought they were for a Montero. I checked the part number and they are...

Ok so if there is one thing that drives me nuts about my Montero, it's the seats - no leg or thigh support, not much side support. If the leather was still in good shape I'd put up with it but that's not the case so I've decided to replace them. There are comfy OEMs out there but there's...

We got a TON of rain Wednesday night, lots of flooding all over the area. I crossed through a flooded intersection on my way home from work, maybe 6-8" deep, nothing I thought to be an issue. But now my tranny temp light flickers on and off, doesn't come on solid, just a dim flicker. I...

I need to pull the trigger on new tires very soon as my current set is far too worn to be of any use. I'm wanting a mud-oriented tire since most of my off road driving is dirt, mud, wooded areas, etc. Since my Montero is also my daily driver I want a tire that will go the distance as well...

As the title says, I'm thinking about removing the carpet from my '94 Monty. It's pretty worn anyway, and I figure I can bedliner the floor, add some drain plugs and make clean-up much easier since most of my off road adventures end up in copious amounts of mud and sand everywhere. Bedliner...

I came out to my truck and smelled gas, noticed a sizeable puddle under the back of the truck. I looked around underneath and eventually found the source. It seems at some point the fuel pump was replaced but whoever did it tried to seal the seam with jb weld or something. It probably worked...

I've spent weeks searching online and at local salvage yards and I can't find a rear console for my Monty. If anyone has one or knows of one at a local yard I could use a little help. I have the tan interior but I haven't even been able to find a grey one, let alone tan.

One of my upcoming additions for my Montero will be a CB. Having read a bunch on getting the most out of a rig I understand mounting my antenna on the roof is ideal. However half my truck's roof is a big piece of glass so I am concerned this will kill the ground plane and shorten the effective...

I'm looking for a rear console and armrest for my 94 Montero SR. The interior is brown/tan in color. I can be reached by PM if someone has what I need.

Now that I finally got the bugs worked out of my SR I've moved on to other projects. One of those projects is replacing the utterly useless center gauges with something less... useless. I'm going with oil pressure, voltmeter and tranny temp; for the kind of driving I do they'll be far more...

I plan to keep the stock rims on my 94 Montero SR, probably won't do a lift right away so I've been looking at 10.5" tires in either 31" or 33". I really would prefer 33"s but all I've had luck finding in a 33x10.5x15 are BFG T/As and General Grabbers. If I go with 31" tires there seems to be...

Hello everyone! I just picked up a 94 Montero SR with 150K miles on the clock and joined the site to hopefully gain some knowledge and share my experiences as I go. I bought this truck to use as a daily driver after my car was totalled and for what I paid I think I got a pretty solid rig with...
