    Montero Build

    What a fine choice Nice job. I can't wait to see the progress. Let me know how I can help. BTW, the best resource I've found to date is the Pajero club of Victoria. Those Aussies really use their Monteros down there, and they've got a lot of great info. The suspensions they mostly...

    If a deal is too good to be true, it usually is.

    You don't HAVE to use JPEG

    I wonder if the browser one would use to view the photos may also be a limitation. Often I have optimized an image in PS and then downcoverted to a JPEG. Usually the results are fine when I view the image in PS, but when I open it in a browser the image doesn't look as good as it did in...

    Knife Sharpening

    The main benefits of the Edge Pro system are: 1) This is the most important--you can vary the angle to meet the exact factory edge on any blade. You can set it up to match it exactly. The spyderco and anything like it is a fixed angle. My experience with those, is that they're mainly good...

    Scepter water can question

    Dan, I have five of these and I do have to really turn the cap to get a good seal. I sometimes have to use two hands to get the lids cranked down firmly enough to prevent leaks. Once I do though, no leaks. Test again and let us know if you're still having trouble and from where? Main seal...

    Knife Sharpening

    Edge Pro Apex Without a doubt, the most versatile and accurate sharpener I've ever used. The only thing I've seen that looks better is the pro model, but the Apex has served me well for anything from a 10" chef's blade to a small 2" pocket knife.

    Nice deal on a late model Pajero snorkel

    This one will. This is the one I have. Keep in mind, you do have to lose your antenna. Either it's not installed there in OZ or they have a completely different antenna down there. Otherwise, it's sweet and the install went about as smooth as can be.

    Flyingwil's Taco is growing up!

    But isn't it more than that? Don't you have to look from A to Z? Gears, driveshafts, u-joints, cooling capacity of the cooling system, strength of the engine and durability, steering components, transmission durability and transmission cooling system capacity, etc?

    Flyingwil's Taco is growing up!

    Well, they may be accurate, but I think the odds of getting a nice round number like that on a supposedly accurate scale are very low. When you say you were nearly empty, do you mean that there was very little in the truck that wasn't bolted on to the truck. So, no additional gear other than...

    Any practical use or need for heavy chain?

    Most do, at least the ones I've seen. Not on each link, but at least every 3rd or 4th link has the markings. If there are no markings, I definitely wouldn't trust it for hi-lift winching.

    Any practical use or need for heavy chain?

    Hi-lift winching is why I carry some. But grade 70 is what you want. Anything less is dangerous not worth its own weight.

    1989 FJ62 Expedition built

    Owning such a nice truck and never using it in 4WD seems like a real shame.

    Packing Heat...who does it?

    This is certainly true. I heard this countless times from CHL instructors who have either personally been involved in incidents or who know students who were. All ended up costing a lot in terms of effort, time, grief, and money. Well, I think that depends on the laws of the state in which...

    Flyingwil's Taco is growing up!

    Wil, two questions: 1) What is the GVWR of the Taco? 2) Does it not seem odd to you that they gave you such a nice round number? I would expect to see something like 5598 or 5618.
