    WHAT IS THAT STINK coming from the cargo area carpet???? Last week a small group and I went up to Salt Creek to see if all the Solar activity might produce some auroras....NOPE they didn't, at least not around here. Anyway, there was a little mud and snow driving to get to the spot, where we...

    Beach wheeling sounds like fun to me! I wanna hit the dunes at least once with mine, but we'll see how it goes. I'll be tip toeing around at first for sure, to get a feel for the stability in that sort of terrain.

    2005 Nissan Frontier?

    I had an '06 NISMO that I built up, and I really loved that truck. I would still be in it, if it weren't for some financial issues forcing me to sell. I too was considering a Tacoma at the same time, but when I compared them side by side, the Nissan seemed to be the better value. mike r...

    Thanks for posting these up. I need to do this soon. This will be very helpful.

    Oh ya, one more cool thing about the Montero.....removing the third row seat gives way to a nice cubby hole for more gear!!!! I'll be taking my first weekender with it in two weeks, so I'll get to bond with it more, and take on some slightly techy stuff.

    Ya you too man. You will be very happy with OME. Looks like we'll have a small project in our near future.

    Ya, there is quite a large following on here I've noticed. It's a nice resource to have. Since eventually I have questions that will be answered here since there's a wealth of knowledge. The Montero's seem to be the underdog off road vehicle in the U.S. but other countries love 'em. I've only...

    Thanks pajombre03, I had a local shop install the lift, I heard it was quite a pain in the butt to do. I never heard why it was, just that it was. After looking at everything installed I can see what a tight fit it is in some places.... looked like a "no fun at all install". I have to say that I...

    Why to- not be complacent while working on you rig.

    I have to say, it's quite amazing what the human body can do instinctively in a self preservation situation. And this story is just another example of the human body doing just that. You're not even thinking about it and the body just jumps in and takes over, and before you are consciously aware...

    I looked over my data sheet, and it shows that the camber is within the factory specified range, but take a look at it from the front. Could this be an optical illusion? I think they come with some negative camber front and rear from factory, but mine is at .01 and .02 in the front and .14 and...

    Hey that is a pretty good job on that bumper. I wonder what it cost? Those corners are the tricky parts as far as the fabrication goes, the rest of it seems pretty straight forward.

    Okay I've got the lift on. Now.....l did have it aligned, and it looks to me that the camber in the front is still a bit off(negatively). Has anyone else who has put a lift on a 3rd Gen experienced this? Will I not be able to get the same or close to the same degree of camber as factory? Or did...

    Oh cool, well our build timing is going to be very close. It'll be interesting to compare our thoughts on the mods. I don't know of any manufacturers making a rear bumper. I haven't looked into it though. Seems like a custom build would be fairly easy. I would like to see some examples of others...
