this sounds like a great trip.... will be following the thread and trying to block out my calendar

true true... you won't find another manual out there

I think it's nearer 5k lbs...do a search on 4x4 wire, I know the same question is something that has come up before, but I don't recall the answer

LS doesn't have a locker.. if you plan on doing any off roading, hold out for something with the locker. You're likely going to be able to get something with a locker for a similar price. Expand your search, fly out and drive back

The driver and passenger are similar if you're talking both manual seats, I don't recall if they are identical. My gut is telling me that they are different, but you could probably make it work with some trimming... power seats are quite different. The heated seats could be swapped over, but it...

sounds about right

I ended up adding a switch to break the connection between the radio and the power antenna motor. This let's me keep the antenna down with the radio on (usually using Bluetooth anyway) but still put the antenna up for radio reception. Its the same wire that tells the amp to turn on. Blue in...

Iguess chase down your no fuel pressure thing. Gotta start somewhere and knock a few things off the list of possibilities :-(

it turns over right? did/do you have any check engine lights?

That looks like a really cool Montero and I don't doubt that the guy has that much if not more into it, but to be honest you can buy one with similar miles and probably in similar condition of the same year for between 2-4k having also been in so cal it's entire life. the missing 5-7k would...

Finally changed out my crank bolt, as well as finished up my DIY rack. Photo before I painted the wind deflector: https://goo.gl/photos/hDoSCerrkoJ8C9xe6 Photo installed: https://goo.gl/photos/1F7UH8SdKN86GGek9 All in I have about $200 in it. 75 for the rack, 35 on extra aluminum bar to...

really well done video! If it hasn't already been posted, you gen 3 guys gotta talk about your armor and show some before/after pics

My 99 had the valve seal problem at 125 k miles.... It also had blown headgasket from overheating... That might have damaged the valve seals... Or accelerated their demise

Yes, this is a must do... makes a big difference. At some point the red ball will fall apart and you'll be stuck in 4x4 low.... it's actually good preventative maintenance.

+1 for the bouncy seats! I installed a set in my 99 a few weeks ago.... it makes all other cars you sit down into feel really stiff

Wash and then use a clay bar on the sections with the sap? I've used a clay bar with great success for road tar and various bugs.

pictures?

you install everything... wait like 5 minutes.. the pin should take zero force to remove... it's crazy, thats how it works.. and it does work

That's the process... More or less... The belt will hold the cam in place, when it comes off, it can then turn. Replace the tensioner too... Youll have to remove it to reset it anyway

There is a lot of energy in the cam.... I don't think it causes any issues to over rotate one notch either way. The timing mark only has to be off a degree or two before it will slip and spin. Its easy enough to put back in place with a wrench. It will catch you off guard, and likely cause you...
