    Interior wall/ceiling covering

    I'm current exploring options for wall and ceiling covering for an OVRLND camper. ...What are folks using in their campers? I'm open to all suggestions, but hoping to keep it light, easy to keep clean, and durable. Looked at Coroplast. It's light and easy to keep clean, but appears as though it...

    No start / shaking gauges 2006 Xterra

    Greeting, 2006 Xterra Offroad After replacing the battery terminals I have a no start condition. The gauges shake when you try to start the rig.

    Flashing Center Diff. Lock light

    The center differential light started blinking a few weeks ago. It would happen after driving at highway speeds for a sustained period of time (longer than 40 min., or so). When the vehicle was turned off, and restarted, the light would not flash. My first thought was a bad switch on the top of...

    What's the condition of your Gen. III front motor mounts?

    Replaced both forward motor mounts... At first glance the mounts appeared worn, but didn't look too bad. Upon closer inspection there was a small crack in the rubber that looked to go around the mount- although it's difficult to inspect the mount from all angles. Jacked up the motor using...

    removing front driveline tips?

    I'm replacing the u-joint on my front driveline. The drive line is detached from the front differential. The manual states that the drive line should be able to be pulled out of the transfer case at this point. However, I can't seem to find how to pass the driveline towards the engine enough to...

    Telescoping/rear light

    I posted this modification in the Mitsubishi section, because the mounting method used is specific to the Gen. III Montero. The telescoping pole can be mounted in a variety of ways- this just worked best for my rig. I'll try to get some snap shots from the next weeks trip to the Sierra and post...

    Telescoping/rear light

    The idea of having a work light that can be aimed in a variety of directions has been on my list for the Montero for some time now. I wanted a light that would extend upwards past the top of the rear door and have the ability to aim the light as needed. After slowly accumulating parts and...

    Gen. III O2 sensors

    With 152K on the clock I'm thinking it's time to swap out the O2 sensors in my 2002 NM. Any suggestions on removal/installation or product type are welcomed. So far I've doused the "seam" between the sensor and the exhaust with PB Blaster, and will most likely do that a few more times before...

    Gen. III roof rails/rack

    After over ten years of abuse the factory roof rails on the Gen.III Montero started to show signs of failure. The rails between the roof mounting points were loose. After some research, I decided on a system from Rhino-Rack. The Montero specific system includes new tracks that mount into the...

    Dusted Cabin

    In an effort to reduce the amount of trail dust in the cabin I installed some filters. The NM does not come with a cabin air filter, so I began in the worst place for dust intake-the pressure vents in the rear. The vents are for cabin pressure change, however, the design is terrible. Two rubber...
