B Bring a Trailer

I am not either, but the whole rig just seemed like a good starting point for fun!

Just as the title states, I picked up a 98' Sportsmobile and I have no idea what I am in for... outside of endless FUN!!! haha... But, yea, might be poking around a little more and asking dumb questions.

Nope, not sure what else to say. I can look under the vehicle and I have!

Cool, thanks! I was watching a YT video that a forum member posted and he talks and shows how the tank gets in the way of a bolt.

I recently picked up a ASFIR Hidden Winch mount for the gen 3 and was wondering if anyone has installed one in this group? It says on the product page that there is not drilling and bolts right up to the factory OEM mounting points. I don't see any mounting points on my chassis, I am thinking...

Interesting, I will take a look and see how they are bolted up on my rig.

I finally scored a set of 4.9 diffs, the rear has the hybrid LSD which is cool. A couple questions for the folks with a tons of knowledge. 1. Should I rip them open and take a peek? Replace any seals and stuff? 2. Are rebuild / seal kits available? 3. I saw YT that folks cut the rear mounting...

I am looking for some 4.9 diffs for the gen3, what should I be looking for? Is the locker a separate component on the rear diff carrier? It is hard to tell the working condition so assuming pulling them apart after purchase? Anything else to consider when looking for the diffs? Cheers.

cool and interesting responses… i actually purchased a hidden winch mount from ASFIR.com and grabbed a comeup winch… will see how it goes. ha.

Does anyone have a hidden winch with stock bumper? If so, can you share some photos and stories? How it works for you, what winch, pros/cons? Etc… Cheers

The tracks seemed like the most versatile and open up more creative top rack options. Not sure about the backbone system. I installed some Rhino Rack tracks and then picked up this roof rack system Sherpa Equipment Co. that was actually made a 4Runner...

One thing I learned over the weeks of research on replacing the rails on a GEN3 and doing some sort of rack/track is this: - best option for a track is the Rhino Rack RTS01, it was made for the Pajero OEM channel in the cool. The downfall is it is discontinued and hard to find, at least in...

one more question!… did the tracks go in the channel on the roof where the old rack was?

i wanted to install track rail but not sure, i wanted to use the existing mounting holes but not sure if there something that fits in the channel or if i will have to mount flush on the roof and drill new holes
