Schedule looks good. I'd be game for some of that. :)

You might make a skid for the rear driveshaft. Mine is part of the gas skid. Let me know what you find for cistom CVs. I may be willing to buy some if can get a better price.

Curious, that driver side CV seems to be the weak side. Did the rear driveshaft get hit? How did it break?

Which driveshaft got busted? Front CV busted? Do share more...

Come follow some Monteros through the Rubicon and see how quickly you change your mind. Nissan looks cooler and off roadish but looks don't equal capability. Keep it on road or light trail use and it will be fine.

Get rid of the oil additives. Put proper weight, quality oil and filter in. Check level. Warm up engine at idle. Then rev frm 2-3,000 rpm for 10-15 min. Don't let rpm drop under 2k. It will force oil into hydrolic lash adjusters. Not unusual to have noise from sitting. Drive it, don't...

It did great; better than I expected. My brother is working on video.

Jack it up and inspect. There isn't a common issue. Could be worn bearing.

Got back home early this morning! Had a great time with you guys on the Rubicon. Hope the rest of the trail driving went well. :)

Or dented fuel tank. Visual inspection would be the first place I'd start.

That won't last long if you plan on using it off road. They are extremely weak and problematic. Search front diff issues. Then there's the odd wiring / sensor issues. Montero is overbuilt. Xterra under built. But it will make you appreciate your old Montero. :)

Yes, I've run one in the front diff and rear diff on various rigs. Much better in the front. But makes driving in snow less safe, more difficult turning (at times) and decreases turning radius. I would leave it open or ARB. Anything that decreases the driveability or reliability isn't...

Wow. Yours looks nice. You should see my bumper. :) You can buy from the dealer. Most wrecking yards will just sell you the entire bumper.

ARB lockers or leave it stock. Aussie would ruin the driveability of the truck. Horrible idea.

I'm sure I could go through the list (lots of receipts). I rebuilt the heads and did all the heater hoses, trans cooler hoses and have the power steering lines. Older rigs do require more replacement parts but hopefully worth it for the places they take you. :)

Will be rolling out tomorrow AM. See you guys at camp.

Only on very technical trails. Traction control is exceptional.

That one looks clean.

New rack is crazy expensive (OEM). I wouldn't buy remanufactured or rebuilt. Buy used or spend money on new. They do have a low failure rate. You have inner and outer tie rods and both can fail. There is also a boot covering the end that can fail. Most aftermarket steering parts are junk...

That was good times. Miss you and Jason on the trails. That was a killer Sport. Nearly perfect condition, every factory option. 4.90 gears. 3.5L. Leather. Got some decent trail use in stock form. I liked it better than the Gen2 full size Monteros. But 3rd Gen is a much better vehicle...
