I found that stmtuned often had the best price for OEM ATF as well. Cheers

I have always preferred recovery (kinetic) straps over ropes (like Bubba ropes), because they store in a smaller space. Cheers

Some folks remove the rocker cladding (it's not a sticker). One fella took the time to fill in (weld) the attachment holes, It came out clean. The rear bumper cladding that wraps into the wheel well is all part of the bumper. Cheers

Swapping out the rear diff. bushings can be done without the rig on a lift, but it's certainly harder. A few years back I had a blinking center diff. light. I disconnected each electrical connection, one at a time, from the transfer case and checked for corrosion. I ended up cleaning them and...

I wouldn't recommend the "dilution method" if you have never done a complete flush with OEM fluid. If a previous owner did not use OEM fluid, that could be the reason for the vibrations/shuddering. Complete flush takes about 12 quarts. These transmissions are bullet proof if care for properly...

Just curious...when was the last time you flushed the transmission fluid? Did you use M.M. fluid? Cheers

When inspecting the front two mounts, it appears to have a line (crack) all the way around the bushing. You might also inspect your rear differential mounts. Cheers

Have you inspected the engine mounts? Both of the front engine mounts were completly broken in half when I replaced them after over 200K miles of use/abuse. Cheers

Great fixer-upper... Too bad you don't get the title with the purchase. Cheers

Since you're predicting approximately 1,000lbs of constant weight, you should consider pulling the trigger on some Deaver springs in the rear. I think you'd be looking at the stage 3 springs for that weight range. Mate these with some quality shocks and coil/overs up front for a nice ride when...

Have you thought about something like a Geo Tracker/Suzuki Sidekick? These flat tow very well, and can wheel (when properly set up). ...a six month trip, what a blessing! Cheers

Shovel jack gloves snatch strap (Crosby) shackles winch extension strap snatch block tree saver drag chain winch controler chain saw (at least one in the convoy) snow chains (winter trips) In addition to a full compliment of tools, air compressor, plug kit, and sidewall patch kit. Cheers

As far as pants go...Ben Davis for the win. I've been backpacking, camping, climbing, and working in them for decades. Cheers

I believe that National Luna makes a plug to use when charging off of 110 at home. It plugs into the port in the photo. Cheers

Thanks for the clarification, rruff. Does this sound about right? "Solar cell efficiency refers to the percentage of sunlight shining on each cell that converts to electricity. The combined efficiency of each cell determines a solar panel’s overall efficiency." Cheers

I'm new to the solar world, but one of the important parts that I've been looking for in a solar panel is the "efficiency" of the panel to produce power. This enables the panel to produce sufficient power in low light situations. I'm looking at a 200W panel with a 23.5% efficiency rating. Cheers

One of the easiest starting points (and good maintenance), is applying dielectric grease to the connections for the transfer case. These can build up corrosion after years of use. Give each connection a visual inspection, clean as needed, apply dielectric grease, and snap them back into place...

Did you try swapping the coil pack or wire yet? Cheers

Have you check with the over seas vendors? https://www.amayama.com/en Cheers

I use an Ultra Gauge in the Montero. Works well. The temp. gauge is a known issue. It can be repaired by removing the instrument cluster and soldering the connection, or just ignore it and keep an eye on your Gauge. Cheers
