...and I'm man enough to admit it! In fact, I'm at the point in life where I didn't swear but rather just shook my head and had a quiet little laugh. I'm installing a dual-band ham radio in the Montero and had read the "routing wires through the firewall" thread with interest. Since both the...

Ah, I misunderstood last year's info to mean that it was in the works for Android. I see now that the Apple folks have held sway. Any luck using bluetooth with the Windows tablet? I saw a post of yours on 4x4Ham saying that this was one of your goals.

Craig (and others with experience), I have some hardware questions regarding APRS and ON. I plan to use ON for Android on a Nexus 7.2 tablet. Since I'll soon be installing a Kenwood D710 in my rig, I looked at your online manual and read the two APRS sections. My question is about connectivity...

Thanks, guys. Antenna just arrived today and I'll proceed as planned. 73s de Sabre :safari-rig:

I've read a lot of information about optimizing the location of a mobile antenna, including the excellent discussions on http://www.k0bg.com/. I'm getting ready to put a mobile dual-band set in the Montero and have planned on drilling a 3/4" hole for the NMO mount, using best practices to really...

I had always thought that car dealers made money on volume, on moving their inventory. My experience in the past couple of years has told me that they're apparently happy to sit on cars for months or years rather than deal. I don't get it. Ten year old truck? I would expect it to go for $8K or...

There doesn't seem to be any ambiguity at all about such questions:

That's great information. I've been very happy with my 265/75R16s, and I note that your 235/85s are virtually the same diameter (tenth of an inch difference) but are almost 1-1/4 inches narrower. I wonder how much less rolling resistance that amounts to. I favor the skinnies myself...grew up...

I'm betting that it's the ion flux line for the dilithium crystals.

Ummm...are you guys checking the DATES on these posts before responding?

You've identified that the Montero is a very nice SUV for the pavement and, although certainly not a solid-axle articulation monster, it is an acknowledged capable beastie in stock trim off-pavement. I wouldn't try to turn it into a high-articulation crawler...it's the wrong platform for that...

There may be a thread, but I never checked before pulling my instrument cluster. On my Gen III there are two Phillips screws up under the dash overhang in front of the main guages. Pull those and everything just starts coming out. It's a one screwdriver job as I recall...very easy. The only bit...

The "2WD" lights (for the rear wheels) almost always burn out because they are always on when the vehicle is running. Replace them with LEDs and you'll never worry about them again.

I just got one, and am extremely pleased with it. The receiver is much higher quality than I was expecting for the price and battery life is unbelievable. I'm not sure that there's any substantive difference between any of the various versions...they tout this or that "new and improved"...

To add to that, if the flashing comes from switching from 2WD to 4High, it's almost guaranteed to be the problem solved by the original poster. Cleaning, lubricating, checking vacuum hoses and, most importantly, exercising the system will usually be all that's needed to fix things. If it's...

The white one is a beauty, Michael!

I'll take a green one. PM sent with my info. Thanks very much!

Really? No one has done this? Am I to be the first? Damn, looks like I'm gonna have to take a bunch of pics and put up a new trial-and-error, erm, instructional thread!

Eek. The ONLY good thing I can say about that is that it's likely never been off-pavement. Good grief!
