    The old 1999 build thread

    Update! Replaced my idler arm and UCA's with some used OEM stuff to get me by with the '99. Then i rebuilt my IFS and steering on my '91, that job went smoothly and it drives super smooth meow. All of it's IFS was original 1991 so it was long overdue for a refresh. I'll do the rear suspension...

    Pulling the Engine - Torque Converter first, why?

    I had a TC stick to a flex plate a couple times and the TC had to come out with the engine. It's not as hard as it is messy, once you clear the bell housing you tip the motor back and dump all the oil in the TC on your garage floor. It's not easy to snake the engine outnof the bay with TC...

    Roaming Lost: Montero Gen2.5 Build

    It's only a partial disconnect, it doesn't actually let go of the bar at all. Just gives it maybe 4" of extra range which on a stock truck should unbind it completely.

    Roaming Lost: Montero Gen2.5 Build

    I'm saying that from 22 Monteros, probably 15+ different combos of springs, towing, not towing, loaded, overloaded, unloaded, every combo of F/R sway bar possible, almost every shock available for Monteros. Yes Expo grade OME and KYB's make the "thing" happen less frequently but it will happen.

    Roaming Lost: Montero Gen2.5 Build

    ^^^He's exactly right, with no sway bar your truck will do that thing at a certain speed over the right bump or transition no matter how cool your springs are. Certain setups do it less but without a sway bar they all do it to some extent. You either live with it and go for stability offroad in...

    It is an incredible experience, reliability is key on these types of trips. If it's ever within your reach to go definitely try to make the trip. Maybe Rascott will post up but here's the build thread over on 4x4wire http://4x4wire.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1104518/1.html

    Yup, spacers at all 4 corners they do their job. 17's that don't look all bro dozery didn't seem to come in the offset i wanted and I already owned spacers from another project. The Jeep staff were friendly but they didn't say to not take pics and or video.

    Why does my gen 3 feel like crap on highway?

    Improper wheel spacers and guys using improper hubcentric wheels does it too.

    That's ClayTK's ************ flute, he kept vaping off right when i would accelerate making me think i was burning oil. Nicotine has it's hooks deep in the poor guy.

    Small Evaporative Leak P0456 and P0442

    I pressurize it with a bike pump then use soapy water, common areas are the hoses coming down from the filler and up to the charcoal canister.

    Ah, I don't have one that color but if you happen to be in Az anytime soon you're welcome to one of mine in exchange for doing some science with me. What offset and size are your wheels?
