    Time to get a real tent.

    ??? Don't mean to hijack, but I wasn't aware that I wasn't supposed to like REI.

    Firestone Coil-Rite

    Thanks, yet again, James. Great info. I never even thought of just doing the measurements and finding the right fit. I thought there would be specifics about where it mounted that were specific to each vehicle. That's why I didn't even bother. How did you determine the measurements? With...

    Firestone Coil-Rite

    Thanks, James. Good to hear from you. Long time to hear, eh. Great to meet you at the Trophy. I am curious; did part of your kit include one of their 2" or 3" spacers? The spacer sits on top of or underneath the air bag. I'm thinking that I'll need a 2" spacer, but I need to check into...

    Firestone Coil-Rite

    Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Seriously, at this point I'd be glad for anyone to point me in the right direction for a good domestic dealer for these products. Someone who might be willing to help me sort out the right parts. Thanks, TD

    Hi-Lift Problems / Malfunctions

    This definitely sounds like a friction issue. Teflon or lithium lubricant sounds like the right solution. This is probably due to the fact that it's out in the elements all the time. If you use the lithium grease, it probably wouldn't hurt to clean it every once in a while to remove any...

    Firestone Coil-Rite

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a great domestic or international dealer for the Firestone Coil-Rite product. I would like to purchase a set for my rear springs on my 2001 Montero/Pajero/Shogun; however, the domestic manufacturer's website doesn't list it as available. The European...

    More Monteros..sort of

    ARB has the OME setup for that truck. This guy's done a lot with his sport: http://www.4x4extremesports.com/index.php hope this helps

    &*!#@* Hunters!

    Hunting licenses should be revoked at any sign of littering or disrespecting the land. On the second offense, the hunters should be banned from hunting for 10+years. 3rd offense, lifetime ban? Ultimately, it all boils down to education. Also, is there a volunteer program with the local game...

    Looking into 2003 Discovery

    CDL is a lock for vehicles with a center diff. The center diff allows the front and rear wheels to spin independently when in 4WD. It allows what is affectionately called full-time 4WD or as I like to call it all-wheel drive. When the center diff is locked, the truck will act like any other...

    Hello, new to the forum

    Seif1, Welcome again to ExPo; so glad you found us. Looking at you pictures here, it appears that you have slightly more lift than my OME Heavy Duty suspension lift. The OME setup is also supposed to give a 2" lift. I'm wondering if your lift has benefits that the OME setup cannot provide...

    TDeSanto's Montero Mod Thread

    Thanks for posting! I really appreciate the effort and glad to see another GenIII Montero out there. It appears I have the same tires as you (BFG AT 285/75/16); however, my spare wouldn't fit. I needed another 1-1.5" of clearance over the rear bumper in order to get mine to fit. So, I had to...

    More Monteros..sort of

    Nice looking truck. Those are capable trucks and can handle a lot of abuse. Welcome to Expedition Portal. Keep us apprised of the mods.

    TDeSanto's Montero Mod Thread

    Thanks, Pierre. Great to meet you too. Thanks for the help on the trails and for all the great compliments. I hope it won't be too long before I get to do another trip with you, even if you are 2000+ km's away.

    Expedition Trophy 2007

    Who's Ted? :) Penzye's is the best. Those spices just make you want to cook, or cook quickly so you can get on to the eating part. They also make you realize that you've been using sawdust all your life until you discovered these spices...then you feel like you're starting all over again, but...

    Expedition Trophy 2007

    You're welcome. Besides you paid me back 10-fold with that outstanding pizza. Not only was that one of the best pizza's I've ever had, but in the field at that. And the preparation/presentation...damn, that made it worth the short trip over. In fact, I'm getting hungry again just thinkin' about...

    Expedition Trophy 2007

    Honestly, I'd never seen or heard of this combo before. Not necessarily original to wrap anything in bacon or to stuff a chile with cheese, but I tried to mix a bunch of stuff I really like. That's funny that you found it right there in Tuscon. So, no cream cheese, instead a shredded blend...

    Montero Love

    Nice Gen I truck, and in TX too. Man, that's :26_34_3: . I like the roof rack and mini scepters too! Is that at the Padre Island National Seashore by chance?

    Big Bend Expedition Report - February 2007

    I wish I could join you. I'm thinking about doing a trip in January or Februrary '08 and trying to make it an ExPo outing again. You'll need warm clothes and a good sleeping bag. At the higher elevations in can get in the single digits at night. Even at the lower elevations (2K ft.) it can get...
