    Questions about adding a pop top to my Gen 1

    I already have one. There are a few "cons" to a RTT in my opinion. Not major, but the setup and take down time including putting on the cover is about 30 minutes. Especially the take down. Getting the cover on, on top of a truck is a huge pain. Its great if you are setup in one spot for a...

    To build my old trailer or buy a new to build.

    know if you find a good 4' axle, I'm planning a similar rebuild. I'd like to bump the tire size of mine up to 15" with the same 6 bolt pattern as the Montero, and add brake shoes (parking only).

    Not sure if you know this, but its not possible to drive the entire distance. You will have to deal with the Darian Gap issue. I've heard its expensive and time consuming.

    Question on Gen 3 Differences / 20th Anniv ed?? GenIII love

    Both XLS and Limited have the locking center differential in the transfer case. Some of the XLS have a "hybrid" rear limited slip rear differential, sorta like a Torsen unit. The Limited did not have this option. The XLS has a 4 speed auto, where as the Limited has a 5 speed auto. The XLS...

    Question on Gen 3 Differences / 20th Anniv ed?? GenIII love

    I like the gen 2.5 you posted up. Not really much difference across the Gen 3s besides the 3.5L vs 3.8L and Limited vs. XLS. already mentioned. Would be sweet with a newer Limited 3.8l w/5 speed auto and the older XLS gearing with the LSD. Guessing my '05 will be for sale mid summer '15, and...

    JHill, Looks to me that your "new" adjusted Camber and Toe settings are correct to the FSM. Front Specs are Toe: 2.5mm +/-2.5mm Camber: 0 degrees +/- 30' (right and left wheels within 30' - you may be a little off here) and for reference (difficult or impossible to adjust without being put...

    I agree with nwoods. In my signature you can see I'm running my share of LT tires on Monteros. Pretty much in the same PSI range as nwoods.

    Most of the time its the tech and not the tool as long as the tool is adequate. I did my fair share of alignments on an old Hunter rack in the late 70's early 80's. Concepts are the same as back then.
