Welcome. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures.

Well done, sir; well done! Looking really good. I like the shot from above on the hill looking down on the whole setup. Very nice indeed.

Yakima Megawarrior. You'll appreciate the extra capacity. I have the loadwarrior and wish I'd gotten the megawarrior when I had the chance. You can also always extend it whenever you want to increase capacity. It has provisions for a hi-lift and shovel/axe as well whenever you're ready to...

I think you just need to upgrade the firmware on the unit so that it will be compatible with the software. You should be able to find it on the Magellan site under support. I have owned 3 Magellans over several years. I currently have the big brother in the explorist line (the explorist...

Yep, those are sweet. Talk about a short wheelbase. A little too modern/ spaceship look for my taste though. Thanks for all the great info and compliments! Absolutely right.

Lookin' good!

Was that supposed to read with your favorite New Jersey or Bronx accent? :p You know what Tony stands for, right? To: NY Thanks for sending the exact link; I was having trouble finding them. I'm seeing some possibilities here.

Louis, Where did you get these? These look, if they're the right diameter, like they might be very useful for attaching items to my Yakima Load Warrior. Do you have a URL that you could share? BTW, this has been a great truck thread and a careful, thoughtful build-up. TD

Very funny; I like the response. :sport_box Thanks, Louis, for the info and the compliments. I too am of the mindset that all vehicles have their pros and cons, as I hope I've demonstrated. I may have my eye on a few things, but for right now, I'm just going to enjoy the Montero while I...

Congrads on the addition to the family! You must be a proud papa. Also, I'm jealous of your welding abilities and the new welder. I need to get some training and get my garage wired for 230 some day, then get the welder. Thanks, Phil, for all the compliments. Good to hear from you. TD

Welcome to the portal. Great to see something different around here. Keep us updated on the buildup...consider starting a truck thread detailing all of your updates.

Thanks John. Welcome to your first post on the portal. :REExeSquatsHL1:

Yes, let's not let this digress into an LR discussion. I'm simply entertaining new ideas at this point. I'm even looking at the Jeep JK Rubicon Unlimited--engine lack of power is the big detractor there as it doesn't appear to be an upgrade from the engine I have now. Well, there are pros and...

Thanks, Nic, for the compliments. The compressor is sweet and I'm enjoying it alot. I think if I can sort out some of the suspensions quirks and regear with lockers, I'm set. I've only been toying around with the idea of getting a 2004 disco. Starting the research and doing my homework...

About the same. I think I'm settled on the fact that I need to keep it in 4th most of the time and 3rd when climbing hillls. MPG sucks, but hey, I'm pulling a trailer. Around 10-11 MPG. If ARB comes out with the locker for the rear or I get impatient and look to fit an OEM locking diff in...

You're absolutely right about that. Short, but expensive list. Laptop mount in the cabin for navigation Airbags for the rear springs 4.9 gears in both diffs Lockers in both diffs if rumors are accurate about ARB coming out with a locker for the rear this summer Snorkel Custom rear bumper (I may...

Well, the tank does have several threaded openings. I could've run a 90* elbow at the bottom and pulled the air from there. That would have pulled the water out with the air. Then, maybe using an air filter after the tank to keep the water out of air tools and tires. Or, I still like the...

Thanks for the compliment. Nope. I didn't think of it. I can pull the whole thing (not too easily) and drain the tank when necessary. Maybe I should install an air filter between compressor and tank? You can see in one of the pics that I did buy a little one for running air tools; however...

No; somehow I managed to finish this job relatively unscathed. :)
