    Insulating an Aluminium Camper Box

    There was a rig featured in the Overland Journal that was used by a professional photographer and hence full of high-dollar goods. To deter would-be thieves, the owner had applied legends reading "DANGER! Live poisonous snakes" outside the truck. I admired such creativity!

    Gen 3 montero 3.8 Timing Belt Parts checklist

    Yes, the water pump is necessary. Why? Because it's a consumable...that is, it's a part that is assumed to wear out and need replacement from time to time. Further, when it goes, you're stranded. It's a cheap part but replacing it takes a lot of work, so it's smart to replace it with the timing...

    Insulating an Aluminium Camper Box

    Oh, I'm a big fan of spray foam insulation...it's premium stuff...but I wouldn't choose it for this job. The R-value per inch (25.4 mm) of the rigid foams are as follows: EPS: 4 XPS: 5 ISO: 6.5 after aging a bit from the original 8 Spray polyurethane foam has a per-inch R value of 5 to 6 and...

    Yeah, it's not that the odo was affected, but that the whole gauge cluster was replaced on some.

    Post your Mitsubishi Pajero Pics

    265/75 R16 on our Monty. Really pleased with this size, allowing the rig to shine on both trails and road trips.

    Insulating an Aluminium Camper Box

    I think that your idea is a great one. Yes, rigid foam, certainly. Not knowing what's available at your end, here are the options we can source: 1. polyisocyanurate (ISO) has the highest R-value & cost, and always comes with a foil backing; 2. extruded polystyrene (XPS) is the next-best and less...

    2003 20th anniversary edition

    Do you suspect an electrical issue? Look for dashboard error lights after engine start. Exercise the 4WD selector lever and check function (or at least watch the dashboard indicator lights). There really aren't any specific electrical problems on these rigs. If you're taking it to a shop to be...

    Daily kit for winter

    My winter survival background comes from backpacking; I always make sure that the vehicle has stuff I might need to survive if broken down "out there," but I must admit that this has never occurred to me. What a great idea! One size large Presto log, coming up. Thanks. :campfire::luxhello:

    treadwright guard dogs

    I have no personal experience with Treadwrights, but there are a few things to consider. They're made and sold in the United States, the most lawsuit-happy nation on earth. Our litigious culture makes it necessary for any company selling a product to be financially responsible for ANY sort of...

    Delica for a camper build

    I'm assuming that you've checked out Pablo Rey's journeys with his wife, Anna, in their Delica. In case you haven't seen it, here is the page from their website that talks about their "La Cucaracha."

    gen 3 montero OME Struts and Springs with stock springs. Will this work?

    Realistic lift gained from the OME springs is approximately 1.5 inches. Some claim more, but once they settle that's a real-world result. You pick up a bit of ground clearance and, as the ARB guy and many, many owners report, significant improvements in handling. Your assumptions about...
