    1995 SR 3.5 DOHC Crank Sensor Issues

    Not sure what you mean by spacing. The crank sensor attaches to the block with two screws snugged up tight. The timing plate attaches to the back of the crank gear and it can only go one way, fitting over a pin or stud if I recall correctly. The crank gear also only goes one way, with a...

    Alternative sources to filling the bottle include beverage companies, fire extinguisher companies, and of course, welding supply shops.

    Laptops for Overlanding Travels

    Surface Pro battery life leaves a lot to be desired. Great screens, but tough DPI resolution handling if your eyes have 40 plus years on them....which is more a limitation of Windows itself. Keyboard is good, touch screen is nice, but build quality is not great. We average a 60% return...

    Ironman brand torsion bars?

    The brand is decent. They mostly copy ARB product designs, but they are of similar quality as well. They have had a troubled history here in the US, due to really poor import/distributor connections. My friend was an Ironman rep for a while, and just couldn't get product out of the east coast...

    SoCal help needed - CV axles swap, brakes, shifter assy

    I might suggest upgrading your shocks at the same time if you've got the coin. I went with the KYB's, but Toasty sells some nice Bilstiens.....

    SoCal help needed - CV axles swap, brakes, shifter assy

    I can help with the shifter and rear brakes. I've done them both, and it's quite easy. I'm in Yorba Linda. However, I've never done the axels either. I'm available late Saturday morning. If we can get TyTy to swing by, he'll know how to do the axels too.

    1995 SR 3.5 DOHC Crank Sensor Issues

    No. It's a PIA. It's basically a full timing belt job, including removing the radiator if you like to have room to work in.

    Reasonable priced sleeping bag for tall people

    LOL, fart sack! I'm a big guy, 6'-7" and +300 lbs. I bought 5 or 6 sleeping bags from Cabela's, had them all shipped to my house, laid them out and tried each one for a a bit, and found that the one I liked the best was a Cabela's own brand bag. Happened to be the most expensive of the bunch...

    Replacing Gen 3 Heads (Like a Virgin). Any Recommendation?

    This was inspiring. Great job DJ

    What does "Getting Your Heads Done" actually mean?

    My Monty is not running properly, misses on at least one, possibly more cylinders. I don't know the source of the problem, but I know I have low compression on Cylinder #1 (35psi compared to 170psi optimal). I read through DJPurdue's inspirational thread and figure I might give it a try. But...

    Wtb 2008 Overland Journals

    I have 31 editions, from the kickoff Spring 2007 through Summer 2014. I might be missing Winter 2008, Fall 2010, Winter 2010, and Winter 2011. I probably have them, but I'll have to search a bit harder for those loose ones. I have everything else, including all the Gear issues between those...

    Time to give up my Monty

    I am about to throw in the towel. My efforts to restore my Monty into running condition have resulting in burning through cash no with other discernible results. My truck continues to run on 5 or less cylinders, continues to have electrical issues. Now I have to smog my truck in the next...
