    Source for replacement fuel tank?

    Dealer. I bought one wholesale... Think it was around $600. I tried Car-Part. Wrecking yards shipped in 2 tanks and both of them were damaged (dented badly). Mine is so dented my capacity is down by 5-6 gallons. Install a steel skid to protect your tank if you use yours on the trail.

    New guy with gen3 montero

    Even with perfect alignment... Some tires have a tendency to drift. There's a fair bit of discussion on this from Toyota guys.

    3rd gen 3rd row seat removal

    Flip seat forward. Give a solid pull directly backward. The latching mechanism rotates and releases. One person can easily do it.

    2001 3.0L Sport has 240,000 miles. Switch to synthetic???

    There are some misconceptions with oil changes... You change your oil for two reasons: it gets dirty and oil breaks down over time. Running synthetic oil doesn't keep your oil clean longer. So, you should change the filter at the same/similar interval before the oil gets too dirty. The...

    Increasing MPG Idea, For wifes daily driver. Remove front axles

    You can't remove the CV axles as they hold the wheel bearing in place (ie your wheel will fall off). So... you'd need to have some junk shafts that you pull apart to leave the outer spline section installed through the hub. Then leave the driver side CV cup installed so the gear oil doesn't...

    Bushskinz - www.offroad4wd.com.au - Guys on the Pajero forums seemed to be most happy with these skids. I love the front 2 skids. The back ones would be extremely simple to fabricate and they are heavy (expensive to ship). I'd buy the front 2 and have the rest fabricated locally. Also, if...

    Gitout.com - Ultimate Expedition Build - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Limited

    Just ran the first non-off road tank of gas since installing the 35s. It mostly consisted of hauling the mountain bike to various trails (mixed driving). Just over 17mpg. Right about what it got with stock gears and skinny 33.5" tires. Works for me.

    BFGoodrich AT KO2, Initial impressions and hopefully long term report

    I ran them on my 99 F250. Great on road. Wet traction was good. Biggest complaint: They pick up rocks like crazy!! If you drive on gravel roads be prepared to find 10+ rocks stuck between the tread blocks on every tire. Drives me crazy. Don't have this issue with the Duratrac tires...

    Mine has already left Australia. :( Anyone else looking in the NW should jump in though.

    Future planning for new 3.4L engine in my tacoma.

    Why replace the 3.4L prematurely? I've seen these with 400k plus without rebuild. I still say it is the best motor Toyota has built.

    Outback Proven: long range fuel tank for tacoma

    Too bad you didn't post up sooner! You could have had your tank shipped for free with mine. Anyone else wanting a tank in the NW should jump in and combine the shipping. There is no cost difference for shipping 1 tank vs 2.
