    What's next? after a Gen 3 Montero, or Montero Sport...

    I've driven a few of the current generation 4Runners and they do not do it for me. The interior is so cheap and super plastic feeling, like cheap plastic. I'm sure they will carry on the Toyota tax for a long time. Outside styling is nice.

    GFC vs. Vagabond

    12 months is ridiculous. Can build a house in less time.

    Finally got myself a Gen 2.5, now, major maintenance update time.

    basically a depreciating asset. After a year or 2 unless you are a flipper, initial price paid is meaningless. You will have more into it than it is worth. Market value? Whatever the next guy will pay. Bank value - essentially KBB. Want to know more? Searchtempest.

    2nd gen Montero (V20) versus 3rd gen 4Runner

    You are going to need to freshen any 20 year old plus vehicle if you want it to be reliable for overlanding. There were a lot more 4Runners sold in USA than Monteros and therefore parts are more readily available. Near me it s difficult to find Gen 2 Monteros even for sale, let alone a good...

    Montero Gen3 (2006 Limited) Audio System questions

    The amp is near the rear sub. Pretty common that the sub's crap out ie: cone paper tears / disintegrates. Polk db840 is a good replacement.

    Whynter refrigerator just about killing my battery after 12 hours

    Duty cycle, ambient temperature and how much stuff in the frig (thermal mass) all come into play. I have 2 group 31s (roughly 100 amp/hour each) and 300 watts of solar in my camper. Edgestar 45 (same as Whitner) and a few LED lights, heater fan occasionally are the main power consumers. You...

    Whynter refrigerator just about killing my battery after 12 hours

    Roughly a 60 amp/hour battery... Discharge time seems about right. Frig draw is approximately 4.5 amps per hour (DC) while the compressor is running. That would be 13.3 hours until dead dead.
