    Pahrump Montero Collection

    Driving up the back way to Death Valley this weekend, passed a house on the outskirts of Pahrump, NV with 6, maybe 7 Montero’s in the front yard, looked like they were all (or mostly) in operable condition. Are you here on ExPo?

    I'm 6'-7" and +300 lbs, 54" chest. I am looking for a sleeping bag that I can comfortably fit in, and a pad that is about 40" wide or so. I am basically the same shape and size as THREE wine barrels stacked on top of each other :) I HATE skinny pads where it feels like I am sleeping on a...

    GMRS Antenna Wire Length and Position Question

    I vaguely remember from my HAM training a decade or so ago that the antenna CABLE length was a very specific thing, based on frequency and so forth. If I recall, a 2M HAM set up used an 18 foot long cable to connect to the antenna. I recently purchased and installed a Midland MXT115 GMRS mobile...

    Need Latch Suggestion/Solution

    I recently built a cargo platform in my Jeep WK. Now I am modifying it a bit to allow access under the floor area where the second row seating was. I installed a piano hinge at the back, and am looking for a way to latch the front down securely enough to allow me to safely tie down something...

    Gaia GPS Premium - is it worth upgrading?

    I have Gaia GPS on my iPhone, and generally like it and use it as my go to GPS app for way pointing and trail marking. I have the free version, and it's worked okay for me over the past few years, but I note that I didn't get out a whole lot the past few years. I now have a better adventure...

    Jeep Grand Cherokee WK - Front Suspension Help

    Hey guys, I ordered a bunch of MOOG parts with the goal of replacing the ball joints, tie rod ends, and suspension bushings while upgrading to OME MD struts and springs up front. I might have bit off more than I can chew with these goals. 1. How do I remove the upper control arm ball joint...

    Tire Deflators - What Do You Use and Why?

    A decade ago, I used Stauns on 35" tires on 16" Rims, and they worked okay. I think they typically over deflated (under inflated?) pretty regularly, but my tires were large enough that I didn't care too much if I was between 20 psi or 15 psi. I think being up at altitude effected them also. I...

    Project WK - My new SRV (Sanity Reset Vehicle)

    Its been a long time since I had my own Offroad capable vehicle. Kids are off to college and career is looking solid, so it's time. I searched for YEARS looking for a clean 4th gen 4Runner without a sunroof (because I am tall), finally found one the same day I saw this WK. The 4Runner was...

    WTB: 2006–2009 – Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Edition - White

    I am looking for Jeep WK in moderate to decent interior condition, exterior can be in pretty much any general condition, as long as its safely drivable. If built up already that would be great, but certainly not a perquisite. If there are issues with the engine, I am willing to repair it. If...

    Thoughts on New NEMO Shower - horizontal style ?

    I have a first generation NEMO pressure shower unit, and its very good, but not great. A few simple design flaws that bug the crap out of me, but not enough to stop me from using it. Now I see they have a new style unit. I'm not sure how long it's been out, but I am curious if anyone has...

    Looking for Good, Entry Level Knife Sharpening Kit Recommendations

No more farmers markets these days, and my taste in knives is getting better over time. It high time I learn to sharpen my own steel. I know very...

    3.5L Intake Removal

    I just want to say, I love removing the intake on the Montero. In fact, the entire top end is super easy to dissassemble. I never really appreciated that before, until this weekend, where I attempted to remove the intake manifold for my son's Audi A4 with the B7 2.0L engine. Holy Crap is that...

    2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4 - 5.7L V8 - $7500 (SoCal)

    My son is selling his truck. He bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Dodge Ram, ultimately deciding to wheel the WJ and use the truck for work, and then his company provided him with a truck, so the Dodge has been sitting. Thus, he is now listing it for sale. Here is his ad on CraigsList...
