    500hp Land Rover 110 Defender. Yes please!

    Listen to the sound of this thing. Pretty good video all the way around. Would be interesting if they buy the rights to the platform as he hints at http://youtu.be/Z1SRkhPwEoc

    1998 Gen 2.5 - Brake Failure!

    Okay, not truly a failure, but I am having some braking issues, and do not have a clue how to trouble shoot this, so I'm hoping you all can help. Issue 1: No Rear Brake Lights! All three brake lights in the rear are non-operational. No errors on the dash. The only fuse I can find that...

    What is the secret to getting the belts tight?

    My belts squeal whenever I turn the steering wheel, suggesting a loose belt. No problem says I, that should be something easy enough that even I can do it. Little did I know how challenging it would be! The top belts are definitely loose, and the bottom belts look kinda loose as well. So I...

    Opinions Wanted - Chromecast or Apple TV for Mixed OS household?

    My household has all Mac computers, but we are a mixed bunch when it comes to phones and tablets, with some on iPhone/iPad and the rest on Android. We recently won a new TV that has 4 HDMI inputs, which replaces a 15 year old unit (So excited!) that didn't have any HDMI inputs, so for the first...

    Why do my interior lights pulse like a disco ball gone bad?

    When the engine is idling, my interior lamps all pulse and glow rhythmically. All the lights pulse at the same frequency. When the engine is off, no problems, nice and steady. What exactly is causing this (besides the engine, duh!)? Is something wearing out? Will I need to be replacing...

    Going up a long steep grade today, truck in Drive with O/D off, was about three quarters of the way up the hill, hitting about 4,000 RPM when the engine hesitated, the CEL light came on (amber not red), and I lost power. Temp gauge right in the middle, no other warning lights on. I pulled...

    SoCal Salvage Yard Report

    Many of us turn to the local junk yard to finds parts for our Monty's. I thought it would be helpful to post what we find in case others are looking also. One of my frustrations is that LKQ posts their inventory online, which is awesome, but they don't distinguish between the Montero and the...

    Post Capture Focus - the Future of Photography?

    Samsung introduced this in their Galaxy s5, and now there is a dedicated hand held camera with an F2, 30-300mm lens that solely emphasizes the ability to change your focal point after capturing the image. The Verge did a review of the Lytro Illum camera, and loved the potential of it, but not...

    Ideal config for Gen 3 as a daily driver with potential?

    I recently completed a project that had me driving a LOT, and pretty much burned through my daily driver (Volvo XC70). I am cash strapped, but need a replacement, so was thinking that a Gen 3 might be a nice comfy moderately priced and dependable vehicle. I don't know much about them, other...

    Seat Wobble

    My passenger seat ('98 Gen 2.5) has developed a noticeable amount of "play" in the seat track. It's a bit disconcerting to shift forward or backward upon acceleration or braking. I don't think the movement is very much, certainly less than 1/2", but you definitely feel it. Any advice on what...

    Looking for used Montero rims (and tires)

    I have an awesome set of 33" BFG KM2's on my rig right now, but my son is going to be allowed to drive this as his daily driver as soon as he gets his permit (very soon). I am a little concerned about the road stablity of these large tires and his youthful lack of judgement and experience. I'd...

    My driver's seatback BROKE! The bracket inside the upper frame that holds the pivot pin sheared off, and I need to have it rewelded. To do that, I need to remove the upholstery, and I've never done that. There are two pins on the back of the seat. How are those removed? Just pull? I can't...
