New guy with gen3 montero

The ARB deflator does work quite well. A bit more accurate than using the Stauns, though the Staun 2's are supposed to be more accurate than the older ones I still use.

I think when we get back I will be adding one to my off road gear for sure.

Great pics! Looks fun out there. As for airing down, it does suck and it's time consuming. My friend has a set of trailhead deflators. Work great. They are nice cause once you have the level set that you want you screw them on and let them do their thing. You can drive off while they finish deflating. Hey got his for $60 from desert rat. But I found this great little read online...

Thanks man, im really on the fence on what to do with this thing. I love it, but it seems like im dumping about $300-$500 in it every few months.

Not sure what the issue is you are trying to show. Door ajar? Seatbelt alert?

Nah, the center diff light is flashing. I will drive for about 5 miles before my rear wheel lights go off and the diff light starts flashing.

Today was the last day for driving on the beach! I am pretty impressed by the montero...however I am now experiencing a popping sound when braking, I can also feel it in the front end when I brake. Im not sure how serious it is. I am about to crawl under there and take a look...in the meantime heres some more pics and vids!

Possibly sand has gummed up the caliper slides, preventing the Pistons from properly applying pressure on both sides, and causing it to pulse back and forth. If those caliper slides aren't well lubed, you get all sorts of weird things happening

Everything underneath looks good, so thats my guess as well.
