I am in Bend and plan to check this one out, question is can it be made to work with a Tacoma crew cab short bed? Any input would be appreciated.

I am interested in the rack, could you bring it to Bend, Or. or meet somewhere between. Any ideas of the weight of the rack?

Nice, I am looking at the very same setup for my same truck. I am still on the stock suspension. What are the specifics of your OME setup? 885/886? and prior to the shell was your truck running with some rake? it looks quite level now.

Seems to be a lot of confusion here between the Outlander and Outlander sport. The two vehicles are not related in any way. One is tiny (outlander sport) the other (outlander) is a compact/mid size with an available third row. Mitsu is coming up with something big here in the near future, but...

In Central Oregon I could maybe get 19 mpg at 60-65mph in any one of my gen III's, slightly less with my gen 2.5. With 255/85R16's on one of my 2003's it dropped to about 17-18 highway and 13-14 in town. I have 31x10.5 C load duratracs on my 98 and drive very conservatively. It is not a very...

I have had just about every Montero that came to North America, currently have a gen 2.5. Have had 3 gen 3's. There is pros and cons to both, but the 2.5's is for sure a "tougher" rig as far as serious off roading goes and with the locker it is better and crawling along through really nasty...

I have a 1998 Montero (full size 3.5L) with 136K. I am getting blue smoke under hard acceleration or when I rev it hard in neutral. No smoke on start up or after prolonged idle. I know generally with this motor smoke equals valve guide seals, but I am not sure if my symptoms indicate that...

I would look for a 2003 XLS, I regret selling both (BOTH!) of mine. The only real change from 03-06 was the change from 16" to 17" wheels for 05 and 06, and dropping the XLS from the line up after 03 and only offering the limited from 04-06. The 2003 XLS has the same drive train as the...

Anyone have one? opinions? Have seen a few around here in the PNW. Looks like a good balance between a full cab-over and a pop up. Or just a compromise. I really like the barn doors.

I have owned both a 90 trooper with the 4cyl 5speed, and two 2002 Trooper S 4x4 auto with the G80 LSD, and a 96 80 series LC with factory lockers. If I had to choose I would go with a later model Trooper, way nicer daily driver than the 80 and more than capable for most off road excursions. I...

Just picked up a 1998 gen 2.5 Montero, and am looking for some advice or actual data on tire size and the effects on mileage. I like tall and skinny, so 33x10.5 is a consideration. My driving is mostly rural, and relatively flat so the taller tire and rotational mass might not be a big deal...

I had 255/85R16's on my last gen III, with an OME lift of course. They were BFG MT's. I liked them, but they were heavy and stiff (10 ply) I bit overkill I thought, and killed the mpg's. This time around I went with the basic 265/75R16. The best call I think would be 275/70R17 fitted on...
