Assuming a straight-line pulling force of 10k lbs, running the winch line through a single pulley will indeed exert 20k lbs of force on the pulley. The addition of a second pulley, while increasing the winch's pulling force to 30k lbs, will not change the load placed on any single pulley. This...

Must be the effects of winter...lots of this kind of post recently. As JeepNM said, reading existing threads both here and on 4x4 wire will yield all the information you could possibly want. Short version: the Montero is regarded as just about the most competent, robust and reliable four wheel...

You're very welcome. My thoughts about the pump include mounting it up high in the engine compartment and/or using one that is submersible, such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Yosoo®-Solar-Water-Circulation-Brushless/dp/B00DWORE5A

No idea, but every vehicle has stuff like that. One wiring harness for several trim levels and such.

The best thing to use will be from a marine supply store. If you don't have one near you they can be ordered online. The ones in the photos in that thread you linked are reinforced PVC, which are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Make sure that they're approved for use with pressurized...

That's a great job. I'm the same way: not going to think about replacing it unless it gets destroyed. Thanks for posting...very inspirational! :luxhello:

Kaymar, just like it says in the picture. Made in Oz.

I really like L-track. It's available in almost any length, from long runs: to a variety of short pieces: Different types of hardware connectors are available. Super-strong, used not only for cargo tie-downs in trucks and aircraft but also for wheelchair vans, where they pass rigid DOT &...

Superbright LEDs has everything you need. Prices? We're talking about very small sums here....

Wow, $130 for a set of mud flaps. MUD FLAPS. No thanks. I'm very happy with my heavy-duty, 1/4" neoprene flaps. I think the material cost was like $12 or something....

Do you want bulbs or LEDs?

My cables run from under the dash up the A pillar. The trim is easy to remove. For my amateur radio antenna I used a standard NMO mount, which requires a 3/4 hole. It was really a very straightforward installation. You could also use a mag mount for your antenna if you want it on the roof. Of...

Welcome to the insanity! I adore my '01 LTD and have never seen another vehicle that I'd care to take its place. Comfortable, competent, reliable, strong like bull! Here's our first trip in it with no mods other than a set of 265/75 all-terrain tires. Eye of the Whale? No problems! Elephant...

Do you find yourself using the auto stick a lot? I ask because I rented one that didn't have that option and I kept wishing that it did.

Does it have the CV transmission?

They're really useless lights. What are they telling you, that you're in two wheel drive? It's like having a lamp telling you that the engine is running: completely unnecessary. When I replaced mine with LEDs I left those bottom two out. Now I get two green lights in 4wd and the rest of the...

I have to agree. Yes, some of you have reported satisfaction with Plastidip on wheels, noting that careful attention to prep is the key. Fair enough, but the prep is key to painting, too, and no one can suggest that the Plastidip finish is superior to a properly-applied paint job. We've all seen...

Something happened that wasn't normal and it left you stranded. If it were my rig I'd sure as hell want to know why it did that.

Before you start spending unnecessarily, get out and use the thing. The truck is extremely competent and needs very little done to it. I put slightly larger tires on but certainly don't need lockers or high-dollar suspension work to get anywhere I want to go. If you rely on advice from online...

Do you have a code reader?
