    It isn't sexist if it fits the personality of the person, and accurately describes the situation.

    Anyone knows what this plug’s for in my 2.5Gen Montero?

    The hole is for 4.5" speakers, but that connector is for something totally different, and no idea what. If it were on the left side, I'd be thinking car alarm or something, but there on the passenger side? I don't know.

    Wow, for some reason I didn't get any notifications about responses to this thread, so I apologize for not responding sooner. I loved the comments and yes, it has me rethinking things a bit. Let me try to answer or respond to some of the comments: 1. No, she's not a mechanic. She has helped...

    Best $200 (or less) Tool Kit for College Student?

    I'm looking for a compact tool kit that my daughter can keep in her aging Montero that is relatively comprehensive, and not very expensive. She goes to school 1,400 miles away, so I won't be on hand to help out. Ideally, it will be all metric, have ratcheting combo gear wrenches from 8mm to...

    Engine refresh

    LOL, when I first started mine, it caught, then raced up to 11 million RPM before I could shut it down. Took another week to figure out that I had hooked up a vacuum line to the cruise control solenoid. Doh!

    Congrats man. I did something similar a couple years ago. It’s immensely satisfying, right?

    Ram Power Wagon

    Again, I am not an expert on these, and don't own either one, but I have been looking at them quite a bit. Primary difference that I see is that the Power Wagon has a true locking diff front and rear, whereas the Tremor has a locking diff in the rear, but only a limited slip diff up front...

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    I think that day is a LONG way away, just based on the amount of Jeep catalog items out there. If you have a frame, you can build a brand new Jeep of just about any vintage you might desire.

    Ram Power Wagon

    I don't know anything about this topic, but I am interested in Power Wagons, so I found this conversation to be very helpful, I also found this Tire Fittment guide on Thuren's site to be very informative:

    Sorry everyone, the bag went to the first person who responded privately. No flakes, no shows, etc. It went to a cute little 6 year old heading to Yosemite for her first visit.

    Wow, I got a lot of interest in this thing. So weird, as I had posted it up a few years ago, but there were no takers. Today, I got nearly a dozen messages in the first hour of posting. So, here is the status, I *think* its taken, but I won't know for sure until tomorrow lunch time (PST). If...
