    Transmission rebuild options?

    Jatco is Nissan IIRC, so there are probably lots of similar transmissions out there that shops would be familiar with.

    Poll: Scrap gen3 limited? Need your opinion

    260K is a lot of miles. I'm at 175K on my '05. Hoping to get to 230 - 240 which shouldn't be an issue. Then it will be done. Guessing current value on mine is $3,500 - $4,000. You should just go shopping,

    06 Montero Ltd Gen3 - is premium fuel necessary?

    Ignition relay?

    Could be the ignition switch. The plastic center interface wears out in the Gen 1 & 2 and then allows slop in that interface so the switch contact traces can't be met. I've replaced it in every one I've owned. Dollars to donuts its the same switch in a Gen 3.

    Onboard Water Tanks, do you drink from them?

    I use Starsan in my brewing process (its tasteless essentially - phosphoric acid and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid) but it is considerably way more expensive then bleach. I bleach my trailer tank. Over the counter StarSan cost to treat 1 gallon of water is ~$0.32 and Bleach cost for same gallon...
