    4RunAmok Build Thread

    Tell me more about that magnetic mount. Did you just put it behind the dash piece there or what? I've been looking for a new way to hold my mic and that's super clean.

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    I've yet to own an 80-series; the mileage scares me away :) The power was great in the montero. Granted it was no muscle car but 215 hp/235(?) tq is pretty solid for a 4x4. I just picked up a 4Runner that I'm really liking but I do miss that extra 32 hp (and deeper axle gears) on the montero...

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    Mine does it, but I'd like to keep the truck together and sell it as a whole.

    Suspension Travel?

    Cool, thanks. So it sounds like the UCAs don't add very much travel at all then.

    Suspension Travel?

    How much travel are you guys/gals getting out of the front of a Gen 1 Frontier/Xterra with aftermarket UCAs? I'm cross shopping those with 4Runners and Tacomas and I can get travel numbers for those but I haven't found any for the Nissans yet.

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    I'll post it up there once I wash it. Its filthy now and looks terrible, haha. Sucks that the motor went; it was a great vehicle otherwise. I'm looking at 4Runners (96+) and Frontiers/Xterras. I almost want to get a car to stop getting terrible mileage but I know I'll regret that real quick.

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    Bad news: cylinder 6 is toast. Compression is at like 40 psi or so so the motor is dead. I guess the missing butterfly valve did some damage after all. I'm not really interested in a rebuild or a motor replacement so I guess its time to sell. Anyone interested?

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    I was thinking the same thing but I'm not sure where to get a scope. I was thinking I'd stick a magnet down in the chamber and see if anything comes up. When I pulled the spark plug from that cylinder, it was all smashed again so something for sure got in there. Fingers crossed it just passed...

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    Welp, I think I discovered why my spark plug got smashed: Found I'm missing one of the butterflies from my intake when I removed it this weekend. Funny thing is, the screws are still there, just no plate. Weird. Now that I'm already replacing that manifold and its off, I guess its time for...

    Butterfly Valve Question

    Hey all, Yesterday my died at a stoplight. It started running a little rough and it felt like I lost most of my brake boost just before this happened. It was difficult to restart and required lots of throttle to keep it running. While I drove it from the light to a safe place to park a...

    Oh, I didn't even think about that happening when it was installed. That's a good call. Makes me worry less, haha

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    That's what I figured. Luckily that one is one the "easy" side to access. I'm glad it wasn't one of the ones under the intake manifold.

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    So any ideas about the crushed spark plug? Small update, the plug I replaced it with is platinum but its not Denso or NGK. Guess we'll see how long it lasts.
