Speaking of smog checks, we do have them. What's most likely to cause a failure to pass? Cats are a given possibility. Is there anything specific to the Montero that tends to cause problems?

Thanks. I'll keep all that in mind. I'm looking at it after work today. How much does it cost to replace an ECU?

I've been looking for a cheap 4wd to use as a play and bad weather driving rig. It doesn't need to be a daily driver, but I don't want to wrench on it constantly. I'll be driving it to work a once or twice a week (20 mile round trip). My plan is just to pick up something cheap that I can use as...

Our Travelall will easily fit 3 car seats. The rear bench is close to 6' wide. We've even considered adding a 4th seatbelt. On a trip with extended family one of the other vehicles broke down and we were able to squeeze 2 adults next to a car seat and a booster seat. The whole passenger...

Our Travelall with an m101A3

The steel line on my 8274 is old and frayed. I've been thinking about switching to synthetic. A cheap, but good rope would be nice. I found some info on Dyneema 12-Strand rope here: http://www.bexco.be/content/bexconet/uploads/docs/Dyneema%2012%20strand.pdf Assuming it's the right data, it...

I love seeing more Travelalls. I've never had a vehicle get as much attention as our '73. It drives great too.

This summer my wife and I decided we needed a vehicle big enough to go camping in. We wanted something that was good offroad, could seat 6 or more and, and was reliable. We have 3 children and all that comes with them. I also like to have room for a bike or to when we camp. We used to have a...

It was a nice e-bay find. It's essentially stock other than the front axle and the lockers. Those are the 2 mods I would want anyway. The plan is to get some reasonable size tires on there (maybe 235\85\16) and go through all the standard reliability stuff. Then maybe I'll work on a drawer system.

Here's our new to us '70 Travelall. It's got a 392, wide ratio T19, NP202, dana 60's and ARB lockers on both ends. The 37" humvee tires will be coming off shortly. They look cool, but I want to be able to turn to the right.

I'm using my 1st post to resurrect an old thread. When my daughter was 3 and our oldest son was 11 months I modified a Walmart bike trailer to use as a chariot to hike into Havasupai. I took the poles and harnes from a Ziffo ski sled and bolted them to the trailer. The harness has a wide and...
