What is a Santana station wagon? It looks very much like a defender. I trust your expertise, but is a Santana valuable if it is that similar to a defender?

Not a problem! I haven't been on here in a long time and like you said, I was browsing with the new posts feature, and missed that we were in the van/camper forum. Have a good one :)

LOL, I appreciate both responses. I didn't realize this was a camper thread only (though I probably should have after reading more than a few pages). I picked up a Lexus rx400h. Planning to throw some all terrains on it at least an inch bigger than stock to get some traction, and a twin mattress...

not exactly a thorough test, but got 31.9MPG on the 19 mile drive home in my new vehicle :)

not sure what he used, but dremels work pretty well for plastics.

I love that thing minus the tail lights. Don't take that as a negative, what I am trying to say is, I LOVE the rig, but I don't quite love the tails. :-D

Today I am replacing the track bar bushing on the body end. It is an aftermarket track bar and unfortunately removal of the track bar has been a huge pain in the ***. I ended up removing the track bar mount altogether, but even in a vice, the top nut does not want to break free. I ended up...

I don't know then. Should be in a service manual though.

Oh you mean the size is commonly used. It just seems to be uncommon in kits now.... And when I checked, harbor freight, advance auto, and home depot did not carry them in my local stores. Thank God for sears, even though I never shop there.

It is made by detours USA. I forget the name of the model but I think they stopped making them. Their website has some pics I believe. I think maybe it was called the tail bone. I got it mainly for the tire carrier and receiver hitch.

Do you mean uncommon?

the knockoff ARB deflator I got today worked great at the beach today! Took about a minute per tire. SUPER easy to use, and the gauge matches my other gauge, so I trust it. $26 well spent!

sorry! I am sure someone will chime in. Is this of any help? Not sure what engine differences there may be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FACFeyyRtCg

today, after realizing I had definitely lost the key to my wheel locks, gave a go at getting the locks off to replace. Better to do it when there is air in my tires than to scramble to do it when I have a flat. I took it to 4 shops first to see if they had any "master" keys that would work...

the ac pro website has a port locator tool. Not sure if they have the montero listed but check it out.

i ordered this and it arrives tomorrow. Will let you know how it is; looks like a ARB copy cat. http://www.amazon.com/tire-Deflator-Large-offroad-tires/dp/B00NQGCDC8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

..... can we assume we are talking about the 1998 montero?

if that is the case, perhaps the valve works by sensing PSI (albeit in an unsophisticated way), and the smaller tanks lose more pressure per volume than a larger tank would. Speculation though.

i want to see it go around the nurburgring

do you have a traditional grill you could try the 5lb tank on?
