to mirror what others have said, 3/8's is complete overkill. You can get by with much thinner material if you put even a little bit of thought/engineering into it. A lot of my skids are 1/8th inch, even on my montero sport. however, very rarely if ever is there a long unsupported span of...

I'm certainly an 80 series newb but... Looks like a well crafted bumper! Good work on making a tube bumper look good on a 80 series, a side shot would be great to show how far it sticks out. Also, after looking at your FJ cruiser bumpers, i really like the way you guys use plate and tube...

My 01 montero sport 3.5 shared some front and rear axle parts with a full size montero. As has been mentioned earlier, the front axle seems to be the same, my rear axles shared pinion, carrier, and outer bearings with the full size. I had a factory air locker rear axle from a 94 (?) SR, it was...

Why the SAS for your intended travel? I would think with all the highway and washboard dirt road you would encounter IFS would be more comfortable and durable enough, especially with 33x10.5s. A good friend of mine just put the blazedland kit on his 92 toyota pickup, with bilstein shocks, OME...

i was looking hard at that montero as well a few months ago....seems like you got a nice rig! I know there was at least one other person one here who looked at that particular rig too. Mike

Having worked at new england truck design, road-craft.com, and done a lot of aluminum fab i will throw in my two cents. Aluminum certainly has different metallurgical properties than steel, most of that stuff is still way above my head. But with proper design and fabrication aluminum bumpers...

Dumprat, Its interesting that you brought this up. Recently i changed vehicles and caught a lot of flack for it from some co-workers and friends. Previously i had a 2001 mitsubishi montero sport,it had rear ome coils, 265/75/16's, an ARB, skids etc...and was well prepped for moderate wheeling...

nice t-100 that i have seen in person. Good luck with the sale! Mike

that thing is for sale on here as well. nice van!

We plan on checking out the area, it looks like i will have a major career change coming up and would like to stay federally employed with the forest service, national parks etc... I'm glad to see what works for keeping your girls warm. We plan on doing some camping when i return home and my...

Longtallsally, Where in CA are you? I swear i have seen that exact bike (and bag setup) in klamath CA. I was riding my DRZ to OR to get it plated and saw that bike at a gas station. You're pictures look like southern CA, you must have a twin! Mike

Amazing pictures!!! How do you like bozeman? The surrounding area looks gorgeous. Mike

looks like a neat spot! I'm hoping to do some exploring in that area when i get back, specifically tamarack lake. Mike

In the title and first post you can read that he was looking for a trade offer. Haddix, Congrats on deciding to keep the truck, it seems like a well built truck that suits your needs Mike

Some great points made above. So its not just northern california! The prices for used first gen tacoma's is outrageous out here. A four door TRD with around 100k will list and sell for 15k at a dealer, while private party is closer to 13k. My buddy even sold his 2009 with 40k on it for...

Now that my montero is gone, i have a few left over parts. All prices are plus shipping, please email me at porko53@hotmail.com for fastest response, if you dont like the price make a reasonable offer. *Factory montero SR air pump for rear locker, tested and in good working order. $20 *NEW...

The V8 4th Gen 4 Runner is an awesome truck. I'm a huge fan of the 4.7, the mid range power that motor has is very impressive and when paired with the five speed auto in the 4th gen runner, it makes for a great combo. I do however find it annoying that toyota saw it fit to use a part time...

You don't know this but i drooled over this little truck when i was at airsta astoria for AHRSS. From what i have seen this rig is everything that mr ed describes and is a solid vehicle. GLWS. Mike
