    Goal Zero Vs. Dual Battery Vs. Solo Group 31

    What about the 1 amp/hour test? Is there any validity to that? Say connect a 1 amp load (ie: I have an LED lamp that draws 1 amp nearly exact) and time that discharge for 240 minutes (4 hours) and scale that voltage change to where approximately a battery would "rate" compared to new? For...

    Goal Zero Vs. Dual Battery Vs. Solo Group 31

    Being there are a lot of battery aficionados in this thread, How is capacity (AKA the Group 31 100+ amp hour rating) measured? Is it from full charge ~12.8VDC down to 10.5 VDC? or something else? Where is the 50% point 12.24 VDC or 11.64 VDC? A couple of charts for pondering: AGM State of...

    Front Drivers Side Driveshaft Stuck in Diff - Need Help

    unclear to me, did you remove the diff cover? I've always found it easier to pry/push the axle out from inside the diff. You might also be able to remove the keeper clip from inside there. Could be that the clip is damaged and partially out of the groove inside the diff, really giving you...

    12 volt heater thoughts?

    like has been said 200W (15 a/hr)/400W (33 a/hr)of heat is nothing (aka - no heat!) but still a lot of a/hr and anything reasonable will drain your battery quickly. DC heat with a small amount of stored power (an automotive size battery) is futiile. 1500W will bake a group 31 AGM to 50%...

    97 Montero - repair advice requested - brake dust shields

    I think the "dust shields" aid in ducting air to cool the rotors. BTW - those front shocks are completely shot at 225k miles and 19 years

    Gen3 Steel Wheels 16-17''

    The Montero Sport offset would not be correct for a Gen 3. The 17" Toyota steelies I have and referenced are from an FJ Cruiser - also not the same offset for a Gen 3.

    Gen3 Steel Wheels 16-17''

    I have 16" wheels (anniversary edition Montero wheels) on my '05. No fitment issues. Not sure about Toyota steelies on a 3rd gen. Offset might be funky, not sure. I also have a set of 17" toyota steelies that I have had on my '92 Gen 2. They fit fine on my '92 (any Gen 2 /2.5) after a...

    anyone else have problems with axle swaps?

    assume you mean the front. Yes there are a couple different styles. If you have an automatic that you are starting from, the bolt pattern is smaller than the Gen 2. If you have a V6 manual it should be the same. Better solution is to use the correct matching parts. I assume that the jack...

    Is U.S getting New Montero by 2020 ?

    There is no set expiration dates for taxes :-) enacted in 1963 by executive order. It will seriously take an act of congress to repeal it. Probably not in our lifetimes.

    Is U.S getting New Montero by 2020 ?

    Sounds like the right price point, maybe even a tick higher. You haven't been new car shopping lately for a high range 4x4 SUV?
