    VanHans' 95 Montero SR

    Great score on your SR. Looks like the rest of your crew thinks so, too.

    Skinny tires on a Gen 3?

    What? Louder as they get mileage, but we can still carry on a conversation without raising our voices.

    Skinny tires on a Gen 3?

    To answer this and other questions, at the risk of highjacking this thread (sorry), I removed the spare mount to accommodate a bike rack and thought to take a few pics to clarify what Gen III owners are dealing with in terms of the spare carrier and trying to modify it for wider and taller...

    ImNoSaint's Gen III Build

    Great advice, and I'm with you, installing cargo loops in the platform to which we can connect the harnesses. The climbing daisy is a great idea, though I'm thinking to secure them to their lowest polar moment. In thinking about it, though, your approach seems to allow them more freedom. Yes...

    Overlanding with k-9 companions.

    Our rig's latest mod was for the dogs. The stock middle seat was too narrow and awkward for the dogs to ride comfortably without being on top of each other, and raising the rig made entry and egress more difficult. Plus the seat itself encroached on cargo room. Since Ginger and Mary Ann are...

    Skinny tires on a Gen 3?

    The stock Gen III spare carrier uses a hook upon which the spare is hung and then is secured with three lug bolts. The hook would make it difficult to push the tire out from the carrier to fit a wider patch without modifying. What would be REAL nice is if someone in the USA made a swing-out...

    I don't know what you're talking about.

    Ok folks Kodiak or Springbar ?

    We, too, have a 10X14 Kodiak, and +1 what Andrew advises. And we live in a geologically diverse area requiring alternatives to ground stakes. We use augers and/or climbing nuts as well, depending on terrain. Note that a cable can be secured to the ground to which the anchor points of the Kodiak...

    Skinny tires on a Gen 3?

    David, I ordered the Big Horns through OnlineTires.com. They were delivered within a week. The Monty took about a 15% hit on fuel economy unloaded, but with the drag of an RTT and a full cargo area, the difference was negligible, it was terrible to begin with. As for fitting the spare, I...

    Skinny tires on a Gen 3?

    Worth mentioning that anything beyond a +1 size won't fit on the stock spare carrier.

    Skinny tires on a Gen 3?

    255/85/16 Maxxis Big Horns. Given the diversity of sand and limestone in our area, I couldn't be happier. It's my daily driver and our long hauler to the ocean as well. I have Cooper AT3s mounted on the stock rims and really appreciated their performance as well, I just wanted something...

    ImNoSaint's Gen III Build

    Yes, we did, though our RTT had a small footprint when folded, allowing room for our 16' Ocean kayak mounted on a pair of Thule Hull-a-Ports. Sorry, this is the best pic I have of the combination. The RTT and the Hull-a-Ports were mounted on the Thule load bars. The Tepui has a larger...

    Yes, mine has the same, three studs, nothing there. I'm not sure for what, though, since the Limited has all the options, at least for the US market.

    Thank you. For your wife: I decided the shelf was a bit narrow, so I extended it another eight inches and added a pet barrier to finish off the project. I integrated it into the extension with hardware from Lowe's.

    Post your tents

    Heresy, I know, but we traded out our Oasis II RTT and went with a 10X14 Kodiak Canvas as well, more pragmatic and comfortable. Navigating the ladder out of the RTT for the 2:00a pee was perilous at best, challenging even the best bladder control, not to mention getting arthritic limbs to move...

    ImNoSaint's Gen III Build

    Middle-Seatectomy After several hundred miles of traveling and camping with two Golden Retrievers, the non-functioning 60/40 middle seat became problematic. It took up too much space while providing little space in which Ginger and Mary Ann could get comfortable. It also encroached on cargo...

    campsite pics..lets see um

    In the Uintahs. We've traded out the roof top tent with something more pragmatic and comfortable. Navigating the ladder out of the RTT for the 2:00a pee was perilous at best, challenging even the best bladder control, not to mention getting arthritic limbs to move in ways best left to...
