    in the market for a fridge. narrowed it down to...

    Agreed they suck more power. I have no issues keeping my beverages chilled in my Edgestar FP430 with an Odyssey PC1200MJT as a "house" battery (pretty small battery) and a 100W panel. Might suggest a bigger house battery with your 65

    Never heard of the Solar Grape so I can't comment. Have you looked for any head to head reviews outside of Amazon? I have an Edgestar (Whynter) and its excellent - house battery and 100 watt solar.

    Pajero's in Brazil

    The Mitsubish Triton pickup & pickup based Pajero are local manufactured in Brazil. Therefore avoid the import tax to Brazil. Chicken Tax is why they don't sell them (and many other small trucks and SUVs directly from Japan and non-NAFTA) in the USA any more. The 25% tax hit and all the now...

    what is 70K service for Montero 06

    I wouldn't pay that much, but thats me. 2 to 3 years over priced. KBB is $8k - assumes maintenance up to date, this one should be $7000 to $7500. Ask your bank, assuming its local to you and the vehicle, what its worth. Sub-woofer is minor. A good upgrade (Polk via Amazon) is $50 to $60 and 1...

    what is 70K service for Montero 06

    IMO that is high. Paid $12.5k with a 1 year 12k mile bumper to bumper warranty (mits dealer) for our '05 - 4 1/2 years ago with 78k on the clock. Didn't need to ever use the warranty plan. We have about 138k on the truck now. No issues except normal maintance. Oil changes, other fluids, brakes...

    Transmission bell-housing interchangability question

    Appears that some Montero Sports ('97 - '98 perhaps) used the AW4 behind the 3.0l but there might be difference between the 3.0L pre-'96 and post-'96 that may require a different bell housing? Anybody can confirm this?

    Buying or hiring someone to make a drawer system

    Seriously? I think your budget is too low. You will need to account for at least 4 to 8 hours design time and 20 to 40 hours build time for something custom. Guessing in SFB area this would be closer to $2500 (plus material)

    300GD - Am I headed into a money pit?

    Money Pit? Depends on your tolerance for cash outlay. This looks like it will be a lot of cash outlay especially because parts are not that easy to find in USA. If you pay somebody to do the work you will probably double your purchase price.

    Transmission bell-housing interchangability question

    Thanks. Was the 30-40LE used behind any of the 3.0l Mitsubishis? Iirc it was behind the 3.5l but that won't fit the 3.0l

    Buying a Montero (3rd Gen)

    agreed, Gates belts are OE to Mitsubishi- IIRC, but you really can't go wrong with the AISIN (OE waterpump) kit w/ (Mitsuboshi belt - Toyota's OE) and Koyo tensioners (OE)

    Transmission bell-housing interchangability question

    I'm looking at a '92 montero V6 3.0l with a AW372 that needs a new transmission. I have a source for a free/working AW4 w/ T-case from a 1997 Cherokee. Does the bellhousing between the AW372 and the AW4 bolt on swap?

    Buying a Montero (3rd Gen)
