    Recommendations for an 80 watt off road ready vehicle Solar Panel?

    I agree with the 4x4junkie. I have a 50W Renogy and am going to add another 100W Renogy. 50W isn't nearly enough on any partly cloudy days in a row for my Edgestar and to keep my 100ah battery happy. http://www.amazon.com/Renogy-RNG-150D-Monocrystalline-Solar-Panel/dp/B00KH855YG

    Timing Belt Help???

    I had it happen (non-oem water pump bearing seize @ about 30k miles from records) in my old '92 3.0l from a previous owners non-OEM timing belt kit refresh. Luckily the '92 3.0l is not an interference engine, so only left me stranded several hundred miles from home. $400 tow bill later.... I...

    Its all about the bearing. Bearing fails in the water pump and it takes out the timing belt - and then the valve train, pistons etc...

    Import RTT From China? Ever try it? Pitfalls concerns?

    The Smittybuilt is a different design. Not sure about build quality etc - I'm sure its similar. I like the more covered entrance of the TuffStuff style with the ability to use the large annex room around the ladder etc... I don't think the annex is included with the SB, and by the time you...

    Timing belt kit for 95 Montero SR

    Crankshaft bolt and washer are from the dealer only. If you are not close to a brick and mortar, I've had good luck on-line ordering from Southwest Mitsubishi. But plan on 10 days for delivery - they always seam slow to ship for me. YMMV.

    Tuff Stuff RTT: Worth being looked at?

    Annex on mine was sewn in - from their web site they appear the same. Annex interior room is pretty big. Website says 90" x 90". I had no issues having a small table and a couple chairs in it. You could probably do a couple cots without a problem.

    Mapping on my tablet

    Check out the App: HERE Works great off-line (off cell) for me. Maps are downloadable in geographic areas (Global available I think) I tried Google Maps off line a while back and thought setup was cumbersome. HERE is simple.

    Tuff Stuff RTT: Worth being looked at?

    I am a past owner and can recommend them highly. I did lots of comparison prior to purchase and this was by far the best deal. I owned /used the tent for 3 years and sold it locally last fall for $950. Good cost of ownership. I'm considering buying another. FWIW: www.tuffstuff4x4.com has their...

    Import RTT From China? Ever try it? Pitfalls concerns?

    Shipping cost for 1 tent would be the hurdle. Don't think there would be any duty, brokerage, customs etc... Besides that you are not getting something that someone else has already feted out, when dealing with direct from China, that is worth something. If you are thinking about doing some...

    I have a pair of these lights and they are excellent. Same truck also has a 22" LED bar. I think these conventional IPFs are better.

    Bad oil leak. Need advice.

    Ditto - same on my '92. Those OEM lines are a bit expensive. Around $80 each IIRCC. No aftermarket available that I could find. Looked into fabbing up some from Fragola components and nearly the same cost. http://www.verociousmotorsports.com/ I used these components when I added an oil...
