I'm in as well. Anyone happen to know if there is cellular reception along any parts of the trail?

Off Roader, I'd most likely be able to do a new year's trip as well...so let me know too. m3at333hp: you have a E46 m3?

Keep in mind that the GENIII is unibody (if I'm not mistaken). So really rough terrain will result in more body flex which obviously is not good. But you'd really have to work it to make that an issue.

I could probably find one in SoCal depending on what you want to spend and home patient you are.

Damn. Even with low PSI traction can be hard to come by. Any Monteros use the rear locker and if so, was it any help? It sounded like the Merc used all the lockers a few times and it helped tremendously.

I'll tell you exactly what to look for: service records. Couple of items to specifically look for: 1. Brakes (specially front) as it can be costly to do rotors and pads 2. Lower plenum (the part alone is 400) 3. Spark plugs 4. Plug wires 5. Injector replacement or service 6. Coil replacement...

Awesome video. What PSI did you guys air down to?

I had a chance this morning to weigh the car and see exactly what we have here. The weight worked out to roughly 4670 lbs. This does not include me. Note that the 3rd row is removed, I'm running taller/wider tires than stock (so more mass), and about 2/3 fuel in the tank. For its era that is...

Cool. I've kept the OEM double din stereo unit, so a little different for me.

Just curious where you picked up power from? Any pictures of the setup? I'm running a magnetic antenna on the roof.

According to my invoice, it's NWB 27-215. Manufacturer link (twin screw model, 15")

One more item I took care of today. I changed the rear wiper blade. Only reason I mention it is that this is not a typical wiper blade where it clips on. The rear screws on. See the picture: So Pep Boys (and I suspect other typical auto parts places) didn't have it. I got it from a local...

With a little time today I decided to properly run the Wilson 1000 antenna. Prior to this, it basically came through the door jam and just ran through the interior. I wanted to clean it up and keep it hidden. Here is what I did: 1. Remove the rear cover in the rear 2. Remove cover by front...

Beautiful pictures. I'm anxiously awaiting snow in the local mountains so I can take my Montero there and drive in it!

Well...ended up going to Angeles Forest again last weekend. This time I went with a couple of forum members. We went to Newcomb's Ranch and then went looking for open fire trails. Unfortunately, most were closed; but we did find a couple. There was a 2 mile or so trail that I was worried...

I really want to go there again this coming weekend. Not sure yet of Saturday or Sunday though. As of right now (Monday night), they're saying it might rain again next weekend. I think that would be perfect. It is really pretty up there especially when it is raining or there is moisture...

I drove up into Angeles Forest yesterday and got a couple of pix worth sharing. I also drove on a mud fire road and almost got stuck but luckily turned around before it was too late. But it was a little scary. No pix of that one as I have in a hurry to get out!

Should be perfectly fine.

An update on the tire specs. They are: Kumho Road Venture AT 32 x 11.5 x 15

I agree on the correct line comment. My car and my buddy's both got stuck in a spot, where a simple adjustment of the line resulted in being able to make it. As for speed/damage trade-off; I completely agree. In my situation (absent of rocks and other serious debris), going 3MPH vs. 1MPH can...
