    My latest mitsu build-up...

    Yeah, I didn't get that either. The new JK 4-door might have a slight amount more than the gen II Monteros, but definitely not more than a gen III.

    Nikon D7000 Info.

    that camera packs a lot of serious features for such a small and inexpensive package. How rugged does it seem? Keep in mind I'm used to my F5 (aluminum block) and D200 (full magnesium alloy body).

    1999 Montero Re-gear?

    It didn't really change much. I have a 5-speed A/T; so, I believe it had something to do with the fact that it can stay in overdrive more often. Even though the vehicle now runs a little higher RPMs, it's in 5th more often. Before the re-gear and after the larger tires, the A/T would shift to...

    1999 Montero Re-gear?

    I have a gen III, but I have 285/75 tires, like you suggested you'd like to switch to. Mine came stock with 4.3 R&P gears and I swapped to 4.9s. I couldn't be happier with it. It gave me just a bit more power over stock, which turned out great for when I tow a trailer (which you also...

    Dan, The Jet Beam Jet-III M will save your settings. In addition, you can rotate the lamp assembly a very short twist and that will keep it in the high output (225 lumen) mode. Also, because the tailcap is recessed, you can use the adjustability feature to adjust it down to 2-5 lumens and...

    Remington 700: Defective Trigger Issue

    I always thought that was Jeff Cooper's rule #2, right behind #1: "All guns are always loaded." #3 is: "Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target."

    tent light

    I just recently bought an Apollo. Now I finally understand. I had previously dismissed them thinking I didn't need anything more than a headlamp. And if I were to be honest, I don't need a separate lamp. But, it makes it so much more enjoyable.

    1999 Montero Wheel/Tire Questions

    I would like to help, but I don't remember the size of the OEM wheels for the '99. I would like, though, to suggest that you might find better luck with a 33 x 10.5" tire instead of the 33 x 12.5. The width would be very close to stock and would likely work on your wheels and give you the...

    Top Reasons Why Your Wife/Girlfriend or Family Do Not Go On Trips with You?

    This is what I always recommend. People always ask me what's the secret. I always reply, "marry right".

    My Monty went puughhhh..

    Gents, I have a 2001, but don't these late model gen 2.5s and early gen 3s both have the same 3.5L SOHC engine? If so, I've experienced this exact same thing when I used regular fuel for several weeks in a row. The last time that happened was over four years ago and it stopped within 48 hours...

    Can PDF's be converted for Ozzy?

    I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that Photoshop can open PDFs. If that's true, then it might be able to save them in other formats.

    Dan, I'm not sure if a red filter cap is available. That would be a great addition though.

    Flashlights

    Certainly Surefire makes excellent lights. I still carry my L2 Lumamax from time to time. Of all the lights I have, I still think the Surefire light is the most rugged. But, lots of companies have been making serious progress in terms of brightness, light output quality, and lower price...
