All good stuff guys, I really appreciate it. Can any of you tell me where the sensor plugs in on the top of then engine so that I can check that connection?

Damn, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear it. How long do these Rover engines usually go for?

Cont'd Step 7. The construction adhesive is not a permanent fix. I think that overtime the magnets will fall off with the stress of repeated removal to the car's metal or to other magnets. So, that is what the extra material on the edges is for. Fold the material back over the magnets and sew...

10/24/16: Ok, time for another build post. This new mod/gadget has been in the works for the past couple of weeks but it's finally done. Step 1. Buy a roll of bug screen from the hardware store. I went with the thickest stuff possible, it's made out of a vinyl/plastic, and I figured it would...

Heyo, thanks for the kind words. 1. I just got the code read tonight at Auto Zone: P0335 Crank Position Sensor. I unplugged the battery and depressed the brake for a few minutes to use up all the juice in the system. Hooked the battery back up, started Betty and the CEL is off. I'll take it for...

10/23/16: The next day we drove down to Fossil Creek and had a good time swimming and relaxing in the sun. The drive home sucked because I forgot to check traffic before leaving Camp Verde and got stuck on the I-17 on the way back to Phoenix. The I-17 was closed because of a 20 car accident...

10/20/16: I drove Betty around in 4H for a few miles to circulate the new fluid in the transfer case. Then drained a quart of it because I still had a quart of new AMSOIL fluid, and replaced it. The new fluid had mixed with what remained in the Tcase from just doing a simple drain and fill and...

Done!

Great build, your quality/craftsmanship looks top notch! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya, that is an ultra-low price to get into the hobby of overlanding/4x4ing. The only thing that can compare in terms of value is the Montero. 92-99 can be had for around $2-4k with the some of the benefits being: factory rear air locker, fits 33" tires with no lift, rear spare tire door mount...

10/10/16: Got a new backpack today. Also makes for a good exterior shovel mount when wedged between the Trasharoo and Spare Tire and then secured with a couple ball bungees. I'm not too worried about the possibility of someone stealing my shovel cuz even if that happens they are like $10. I...

10/8/16:It's been 40k since the diffs and transfer case have had their fluids changed so I tackled that today. Nothing but the best for my girl: The previous owner had used Valvoline Synthetic, I'm not sure what color it was going in but here's a comparison of the old vs. the new...

No problem - I couldn't find any sort of identifying marks on the wheels but I've noticed that many many brands make this exact 8 hole shape. The important stuff is this: Alloy, 15x8, 6x5.5 bolt pattern, 3.5" Back Spacing, 4.25" (108mm) Centerbore. The secret to finding them on...

9/23/16: Some friends of ours just built a house up near the rim by Payson, AZ so my wife and I went up there for the weekend to get out of the Phoenix heat. I decided to take the Montero hoping to get some exploring in over the weekend. However, our friends just bought a Yamaha Viking VI side...

Great looking bumper! Where'd your roof basket go?

Looks like your set of sliders have the same problem that mine did, with the front leg being too long (though not as severe). Are your sliders up against the pinchweld at the front or is there a gap?

Roger that!

nicely done! I heard the stock roof rack has a max weight capacity of 75lbs. I wonder if that has to do with the horizontal crossmembers or the 2 long bars bolted to the roof? Either way, seems to be working great for you.

9/15/16: I decided to end the experiment with the Rocky Road Outfitters' Supersliders and rather than have a local fab shop fix them, I decided to send them back. Even with access to a warehouse full of shipping supplies, patching together a box big enough and sturdy enough for these was a royal...

Thanks guys, most of the hard work was already done for me on this truck so now I just get to add all the fun stuff.
