So I was planning on swapping out the seal from behind the flange where the rear drive shaft connects into the differential. I have a diff in my garage with the 4.27 gears, so I tested on that and the flange slid right off with a couple of taps of a hammer to the back of the flange. So i did...

Is it possible to swap the 4.636 gears from an LS with 4.636 gears into my 99 with the 4.2xx gears? I don't want to lose my locking ability, so can I swap over all of the necessary locking bits? A local parts pick place has an LS with the engine and drive train yanked... should make it much...

I want to install some aux switches in the blank spots to the right of the steering column. I picked up one of these on Amazon, it almost fits, but not quite... and has since fallen back into the dash somewhere. This is the switch...

Read the parallel trip report from bikerjosh --Day 1-- After a really great weekend of overlanding through Death Valley back in November 2013 I couldn’t wait to get away from Los Angeles and out to the desert again. I also knew that I wanted to share the experience with some friends...

rotated my tires this last weakend... got to looking at my tires, they look kind of cracked and some side tread looks to be coming off in some areas. I've had the Montero for a year, but it was previously in southern Arizona. I suppose I "should" replace the tires, but how urgent is replacing...

Looking at the following pictures eurosonic posted, I'm wondering if the area behind the dash really has that much of a cavity. I realize the plumbing for the HVAC needs to sit back there, but it looks like there are still a lot of openings. The reason I bring this up is that I need to run...

I got a guy on CL selling what I think is a "stock" montero brush guard. Thinking about mounting it up on my gen 2.5. I know all about the extra damage they could cause by being pushed into body work, etc, etc.... I'm not really all that concerned about that bit... I just like the look. I've...

This is a side thread from http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/118903-Death-Valley-Weekend-Nov-8-10-2013, someone asked what I used for these three night shots. Instead of hijacking my own adventure story thread, I figured I would start up something over here. All of the photos from...

**Edit - Here is the planning thread for this trip. There might be a spoiler or two: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/116959-November-trip-to-DV Index: --Day 1-- --Day 2-- --Day 3-- -- Start of Day 1 -- The day started early, 4:15am early. I knew that to arrive at the rally point...

I purchased a Comet SMA-24J to replace the rubber duck on my Baofeng UV-5R+. Tonight, while listening in on a local net, I was switching between the two antenna (24J and RD). Pretty much without fail, I was getting a better sounding reception with the duck. Everyone that I could hear, seemed to...

So for the last month or so, I've been getting this clunk noise when I turn and accelerate and sometimes decelerate. I can't make the sound happen on command, but I can put the vehicle into situations where it is likely to happen. But if I were to turn left, and give is some gas (parking lot...

So this just happened today, it still works fine, just doesn't stay attached to my key ring..... anyone have any suggestions for a fix? I noticed that inside, the PCB has a hole in it... I could drill through the fob case, and string something through that hole to attach it to my key ring...

So I put on a new pitman arm and idler arm yesterday. Tie rod ends were replaced about 35k and 4-5 years ago. The alignment marks on the pitman arm to steering box are spot on, but my steering wheel needs to be turned to about the 1-2 o'clock position for the rig to drive in a straight line. I...
