    School me on full size Monteros

    The only thing I disagree on with Michael is tire size. Without a lift 265/75R16 or 265/75R17 is the largest on stock wheels and no wheel spacers that won't rub (in my experience). Even my 285/75R16 on a medium OME (40mm) lift rub occasionally on stock wheels and no wheel spacers. I'm a fan...

    Experiences with running fridge off main car battery overnight for a few nights in a row?

    Sounds great, can't wait for a report. I have no real idea how the Yeti will preform. I have my own DIY 4S 2000 watt Li-ion pack that I use for my Edgestar.

    Experiences with running fridge off main car battery overnight for a few nights in a row?

    Did Yeti fix the 12V output on these yet? Thought I read somewhere that they were a 3s pack and therefore the usable voltage for a fridge doesn't match up well. 11.1 nominal voltage, 12.6 fully charged, but more likely 12.3. A 4s pack (14.8 nominal) is more suitable for a fridge. Low voltage...

    2003 Montero: Keep, Trade for 4Runner, or ???

    We will all need to move to an updated platform at some point. No new Monteros in USA since 2006 - that is a big problem. Plus there really were very few Gen 3s imported making the pickings for a good one slim. Roughly 18,000 of them from MY2003 thru MY2006 total. Personally I would not...

    2003 Montero: Keep, Trade for 4Runner, or ???

    You should add a Lexus GX470 to your search mix. Real LC 120 Prado and generally better taken care of than 4Runners or Monteros. Pretty good value for the $.

    Group 25 is somewhere around 100 minutes at 20 +/- depending on brand etc... That should get you around 21 hours to 50%

    2003 Montero: Keep, Trade for 4Runner, or ???

    Go drive a 4Runner, my personal opinion is that they feel built / drive cheap. Not near the same league as a Montero. I'd build your current Montero being you know the history very well. Not sure what you mean by "building" a 4Runner - it will cost a ton more to get it to the stock capability...

    Opinions...Advice Wanted Pls re: best pop up shells for smaller trucks

    How about DIY? Otherwise Snap Treehouse has the shortest lead time at the moment, somewhere around 4 weeks I think I read recently. I think GFC is out to about 18 months.

    How thick should a plate system be?

    Yeah, Aluminum is expensive. recently bought a 53" x 100" x 0.080" sheet. right around $275 delivered from the local metal warehouse. For HDPE, also check out Starboard (brand I guess) should be available from boat maintenance places. It was about double the cost locally for me compared to...
