    Sections 6-7 of the New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route (NMBDR)

    The Sequoia will likely be nicer in the end anyways with the v8 and lack of depreciation lol. Recently applied for a pretty promising job in Los Alamos. All these pictures really have me crossing my fingers! If you haven't made it out to Mills Canyon I would highly suggest you put it on the...

    Montero Sport transmission issues, looking for advice.

    I would get a good used one out of a junkyard (including the torque converter) and swap it in. Sounds like the transmission shop way overfilled it, with the wrong fluid, and it over pressured a bunch of seals. With the issues it has I think it's worth your while to start fresh. Transmission...

    How far can you get with a 2WD and a shovel?

    I drive a jku rubicon for work and occasionally a patriot with the offroad package thingy. So far the patriot has gone everywhere the rubi has except one truly awful old atv track. Fact is, there are very few places you need the full capablity of something like a wrangler. I will say fuel...

    AC Compressor Bearing

    Is it possible to just replace the bearings in a 6G74 AC compressor? Mine is starting to make some noise. Compressor works just fine it just seems that the front bearing is starting to be a bit worn out.

    Gen 3 and tire noise

    It's the ATP, mine also started fine but then started making a really irritating harmonic as they wore. I hate them. Considering the Yoko G015.

    Junkyard requests?

    I could use some detailed pictures of how the factory swing out spare tire on a montero sport works. Especially from the back side of the rear bumper amd inside the rear quarter.

    Convince me I need a fridge!

    I also have a fridge and don't like it as much as I thought I would. I have since bought a coleman xtreme marine and it works fine. Fridge is great if you're driving daily but when you park for 3 days out east in 80 degree weather you need a huge battery to keep it running at safe food temps and...
