If its not creaking, you're not doing it right. :)

I really hope to never have to replace it again. I'd like to give the previous owner a piece of my mind too! Lol The transfer case in these things is not easy to R&R at all.

Alright guys, the transfer case has been replaced! It's up and going in 4wd now. I will try to get by the shop this weekend to take it apart and get some pictures of what actually failed.

I had to replace mine due to oil leaking from the cam seals. Like its already said, mud/grime will wear one out as well. Let's not forget that a crappy battery will kill one fast as well as over tightening the belt. Be sure to check it out. I tend to stay out of the nasty mud nowadays and I...

Actually it sounds possible it could be a number of things. Can you get us some fuel pressure readings? Can you do an ignition test with an inline test light? It's very hard to diagnose over the Internet.... Get us some more info and we can help you out better.

67 inches fits perfect. This is what I have on mine and it couldn't be any better. Long enough to protect everything but allowing enough room to install tires larger than 35s. Allows for plenty of room for suspension movement too. Mine are made by trail gear and were only 200 dollars. Be sure to...

The only reason they didn't was because of the super select TC. For the lay person, they wouldn't think to lock the hubs before engaging on the fly. The only reason they didn't put manual hubs on it was because of this and the fact that the general shift in the automotive industry was to get...

Be sure to check the belt tension on the alternator and make sure it's not too tight as that will cause consistent part failure. La outback, congrats on getting your stuff! Can't wait till you get it all on. Post up the results! :-)

The hubs fit SR and LS just the same I believe. I have the ones that tuff pans make and they work fine.

That rig looks like it should now! Good choice. You'll find these tires to be wonderful on rocks (wet or dry). I'm sure you'll be happy with them.

Same here....

If he only knew how the transmissions are the strong points in these. What did you offer for it?

When you pass 60MPH fuel efficiency starts to nose dive drastically in almost every vehicle on the planet. Nearly all vehicles made have been geared for averaging 45 to 55 MPH to achieve maximum efficiency. Hence the reason for the significant drop in fuel efficiency after those speeds are...

6'4" 220lbs with a great dane and we fit fine so long as we are raised up enough to clear the folded down seats. I have two storage bins I use in conjunction with an air mattress and voila....

1998-2000. See silverwolf's build thread to get a look at a really nice one. Eurosonic has one too I think and he is progressing well. Also grasscat is a guru with those and his is great.

These are both 2nd generation. The SR comes with a locking rear differential and a 3.5 liter engine, as well as leather seats and a sun roof if that's your thing. Oh and anti lock brakes I think. The LS comes with a 3.0 liter and for the most part open rear diff. Cloth seats and no sun roof...

A montero does not come in 2wd. Only 4wd versions are available. The montero sport can be had with only 2wd, but those are an entirely different vehicle. You'll find that they are one of the most capable stock vehicles out there. With just a little work, they will go darn near anywhere you point...

I'd like to point out that regardless of whether your tire is mounted to the front or rear, it is exposed and subject to damage in an accident. If you are in an accident that can actually damage the rim/tire, I'm fairly certain the vehicle will more than likely not be drivable anyway. Also...

Rice night up! Cool little trick.

The one thing about a vehicle that's not running when you first come across it is that it could literally be anything. I'd be sure to take a good battery with me if I were you.
