    The Rally Wagon - 2003 Montero Limited: Build and Adventures

    Yep, Timing Belt PM - interval is 60K miles in the 3.8l (after the first one). Having it break or water pump seize or tensioner fail is catastrophic to the engine and will ruin your day.

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    I think you summed it up. Amazon influence, perhaps other contributors: Bank pulls credit line, upside down margins, major buyer defaults - its a sad story no doubt. Will be interested to see if Go-Fast (GFC) makes it - different league of camper, but similar delivery waits it sounds like.

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    All about price point. Not many buyers for anything above 6 figures. Some friends and I was discussing this point before the release of the "sticker" price of the new C8 Corvette. GM makes a relative lot of Corvettes compared to similar sports cars as its competitors. Generally I think they...

    Custom Front Seats for Gen 2 Montero

    Sport bases are not going to fit in a full size Gen 2 / 2.5 Montero, way too low. The full size Gen 2 / 2.5 Montero base is (I'm estimating) 8" high where the Sport base is maybe 2". Bolt pattern of the base to the floor is completely different as well. The Sport seat (no bracket) would...
