    is the redarc bcdc1240d too much for a 75a alternator?

    We are building a new setuo foir my friends pickup. Nothing fancy. it will mainly be powering a older engel 30l and a iceco 45l. Currently it has a siomple bluesomething lkoad detecting switch, which kills the battery after a week of being off. It seems to work fine for short trips on a single...

I had it sent to my local one to save on shippiong, and it was 129.99, not as cheap as they were 2 years...

    I think I'm going to give the TJM front air locker a try.+

    I've been debating for awhile on going for arb or TJM for a air locker, and I think im going to give tjm a try. I dont think I have heard of a single montero owner running one yet. I did some reading on ih8mud and after some teething issues they seem to love them. Has anyone here actually...

    I've been playing around with monteros for awhile now. I decided I wantred to do a 4 door for a camping, offroad/overland rig as my swb is a bit small.

    Looking for recommendations for a samsung tab a 10.1 car mount

    I plan on using a tab a 10.1 for mapping. Can anyone recommend a decent car mount? I'll most likely need to drill into the top of the dash of my old montero. No cup holders, suction is a option, but im not sure how well they will hold up. I do quite a bit of 4 wheeling so everything gets shaken...

    Is there a usdm vehicle that had a 4.9 low pinion 8" front diff?

    I was at the yard today pulling the montero sport gears out of a 2000 3.5 with 4.9, then I realized the front diff is a high pinion. From what I understand, these will not work in my 1991 low pinion diff. Do I have any options for regearing my low pinion front diff? I'm pretty sure I can use...

    Suggestions on a alternator for charging a single life04 that doesnt break the bank

    I'm currently building my auxilary battery setup, which frankly is going to be overkill for what im wanting, but I think I have decided to go with a 100ah life04. From what I understand, they can be rough on alternators, and I think I may just isolate my entire charge systems with a second...
