Is that truly from washing, or perhaps repeated cycles of morning dew?

This is how I do it. Step 5 is critical:

FWIW, I really like these MSR Groundhog stakes. They are not very big, maybe 10" long, maybe shorter (there is also a mini), but super lightweight, and their X-shape holds the dirt tenaciously, and I've been able to drill them into pretty much anything other than solid granite in the Sierra's...

Series two, without doubt. I have had both. The 2 series has much better lighting internally, and its blue :) Honestly, I forget all the differences, but when I received it, I recall being pleased and impressed. I have been running mine for probably 5 years non-stop as my beverage cooler in...

Oh yes, I remember that damn thing. First, you have to realize that I have zero mechanical aptitude, knowledge, training, or skill. On my Gen 2.5, i saw the tensioner bolt as sort of a screw drive mechanism, and went at it with my impact to loosen the pulley, as it is clearly meant to if you...

Ah! I get it. Yeah, that might work nicely

Are the "increments" on the Esco jacks convienant? I have never ever EVER had a jack stand set at the height I raised the vehicle too, I always have to lift or lower to get them to work properly, which is a bit of a PIA. The Esco jacks look like they have larger distances between the holes on...

Swift_4a, I am quite willing take some photos for you, but I have a 2002 3.5, and the front plate/accessory mounting is different from the 1998-2000's 3.5's. However, the photos still might help, but honestly, I am having difficultly visually or understand exactly what you're looking for. I do...

As posted by Swift_45a, this crank bolt remover tool looks super useful, and would have saved me a LOT of time: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Montero-Pajero-6G74-Crankshaft-Pulley-Removal-Tool-MB990767-HARDENED-PINS/164156921839?hash=item263883d7ef:g:pGkAAOSwaNBUfhue

FWIW, It's pretty unlikely you blew the front diff. The CV joint is designed to work like a fuse, and honestly, it's a pretty easy fix. I never had to do it on mine, but I've done it once on the trail for another LR3. That was nearly 15 years ago, but I certainly don't remember it being hard...

Excellent, thanks for the update. I hope it out lasts the vehicle!

Ian, you dork! I was going for that.

Also, for a mobile only approach, I've heard that the app called Tapatalk allows/enables image posting

I personally pay to have my photos hosted online via SmugMug, and then its super easy to share them. You might also be able to do the same with Google photos, iCloud, OneDrive, DropBox, Box.com, etc.... With your photos hosted somewhere online, you navigate to the photo, right click on it and...

The Cabellas seat covers are excellent, but a light canvas rather than neoprene. They are easy to clean, and quite comfortable in the desert. Here are some photos of my 2.5 with these on. I think they were under $50. Excellent value. Link...

LOL, some truth there. Some HAM radios are stupid hard to use, and the button labels are inscrutable to decipher. I have to relearn mine every time i use it. Finally found a laminated cheat sheet that I keep in my map case

Clearly, Pagero is an enthusiast and knows his stuff and is quality oriented. However, if you are budget oriented, there are much less expensive options that sadly, work just as well. I have a $400 Yaesu, and it's probably not easy to use as this cheap Baofeng unit...

The Irony here is that my Crasftman brand jack stands have broken pawls, but the HF ones have been solid performers. What do you buy instead? It sure won't be Craftsman!

I have a pair of compact Nikon's that I like, they are pretty bright and easy to find that "sweet spot" where the view window isn't occluded by the lens housing or whatever it is that causes that. Other than that, I don't know the answer, but this website has a lot of options to consider...
