I had those but broke one and just never replaced it, I'll get a new set eventually.

The stronger CVs have CV100 or NTN100 stamped on the bells, they come on 94-98 Monteros with 3.5 and 3.0 Monteros with manual transmissions. Sport CV and stub shaft flanges are slightly different than Monteros in some cases need their bolt holes hogged out just a bit

_Ha ha, yeah. Since i quit Adventure Driven Design i probably shouldn't say that anymore. I don't want anyone getting confused by my behavior on the internet so from now on when i go off on some hyperfocused rapidly changing something or other it's just a regular autism moment. Speaking of...

With only two trucks left, the fires and a still over heating Gen 1 we opted out of doing Snake Lake trail. Instead we made our way through Kit Carson Pass and camped one more time in the Sierras before heading home. We found a really short rock crawl that lead to a nice campsite near a lake, we...

Reread post #4 in this thread, it's a super easy job that goes wrong when step 1 (loosening the pully) is skipped.

The next morning at Rubicon Springs we ate a huge breakfast and the guys started working on the Gen 3, once it was apart we realized that the CVs had unfortunately held together. That's right the shaft going into the differential had snapped off leaving the splined end in the side gear. We...

Well they can't take the beating a Gen 2 can but they are pretty tough, the weaknesses you just need to be aware of like protect your carbon fiber drive shaft, don't push the CVs, you have unit bearings and the rock sliders need to have a lot of support because of the unibody. The axles and...

The Gen 3 weak link seems to be the tech and nanny features, they're a little over done so it wigs out when you do certain things. It shuts off if it hits something solid, it doesn't like it when you override the brakes and it cuts throttle with high RPM wheel spin (typically in snow and ice...

_The next morning we attempted to repair the torn brake hose with silicone tape and zip ties with very little success. So little that we ended up putting the vice grips back on, almost as soon as we started back on the trail the '95 broke the idle up valve on the PS pump. I dissassembled the...

Probably check your kickdown cable

At Loon Lake the rest of our party showed up at our camp and in the morning we started the Rubicon trail now with a 1995 SR and 2006 Limited, Cap510 in his '95 took over leading duties and we headed toward Buck Island where we planned to camp. We got off to a pretty decent start and quickly...

A little background... Our friend Lloyd (manfromsnowyriver on this forum) who didn't make the trip was caught in this pose like 20 years ago. He didn't make it to our Utah trip either so we've been #Lloyding since he hasn't been out wheeling. This is the same guy we shrink wrapped his truck...

The shims come in a pack, enough to do a couple setups typically. Good to see more people installing ARB air lockers, the only way these things will continue to exist is if we buy them.

As easy as it looks in the pictures and videos these trails are challenging and very unforgiving. I can't imagine driving half of the Rubicon with one arm, luckily his good arm was his shifting arm.

We arrived at the Barrett Lake trailhead to see an SAS'd 4 Runner above the gatekeeper and a Hilux having a real hard time getting through. We decided to camp down the road a bit before these guys started breaking parts and needing help. We found a real nice spot for camp and had a couple of...

On the way up our Gen 1 had some issues, first it's brand new electrical fan ******** the bed. It had been battling an overheating issue all day (brand new custom aluminum radiator) then the 10+ year old Optima Redtop exploded on the highway. Luckily we brought a new Optima Bluetop as a spare, we...

We're back! Fantastic trip, the usual suspects showed up. Carnage; Gen 3 = 1 broken axle and a dead winch, Suzi = driver torn rotator cuff, Gen 1 = battery, alternator, fan, front bumper, taillight and rear door, 99 Monty = door dent, 95 SR = locker solenoid, PS pump and brake hose. I'll get...

Kicked this thing off yesterday, we're making it so far. Little snags like an exploded Optima Red but the #Lloyding has been off the chain!

Timing, timing, timing, chanted Toasty.

If i were you i'd do the complete timing job along with water pump, pipe o-rings, cam and crank seals and a new crank bolt. However just the tune up i'd do the crank case vent while you're in there, it's also under the manifold. Inspect the condition of the butterfly valves, make sure nothing...
