Overland Expo-West ? Hello, I met you at Expo-East a couple years ago. I will be at Expo-West this year. I was wondering if you were going to be there, and if I could see all your latest work ? George

Engel Fridge in car hauler. Wow! thank you all for the response to my question. It's going to take me a little time to sort through it all, but thank you, I need all the help I can get, I'm like a fish out of water ! George

I'm heading down to Expo West hauling an enclosed car hauling trailer. In it is a small living quarters up front. I'd like to bring an Engel refrigerator along in the trailer, so I don't have to always look for ice. I have 2 batteries that I've charged from a generator in the past, but now I'd...

Sunroof: Overland Expo. Arizona My Plan is to go to Overland Expo in May. Hopefully "the old Bus" can make it there, and back to Michigan ? It's possible that the Montero "Brain trust" could be there or someone will have the answer. If nothing else it might be an adventure. George

Sunroof- Reply to PacS14 Thanks for your thoughts and info. We were married 52 years, this isn't the way we thought things were going to go. Treasure each day you have with loved ones, you never know. As far as the sun roof is concerned I suspect something caused the left hand slider to break...

Montero sunroof: Reply to Johnny B from Peoria Thank You so much for the reply. I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you. I had a medical emergency (wife died Friday) anyway what do you think I should do with it ?, wonder if there's any body that specializes in these, or if parts are...

Montero Sunroof/ Roof Rack clearence. Right now I'm also in the midst of building a roof rack that will pretty much cover the whole roof area. So, I really need to know how much room do I need to leave between the bottom of the roof rack and the roof for the sunroof to operate ? Does the...

Montero sunroof Thanks for the reply PacS14. When I looked harder along the sides I can see the rubber seals are all rumpled up. But I was in a horrendous downpour last summer and I thought, oh boy here goes my sleeping platform all soaked and warped, but not a drop came in, how was that possible ?

First Gen. Sunroof Isn't there anybody that has a sunroof that has fixed them ?

Glad youur rollin again Cruisin- Glad to see the new burst of energy. I have been following your project and travels for several years, thanks for sharing with us. I sensed there were some conflicts in your life, working on projects can be a great tranquilizer. I know it is for me. Keep on...

Re Sunroof There aren't any motor sounds, I can see what looks like a broken plastic slider on the left side of it. I've never seen one of these operate. Do they come up in front then slide down and back when they open ? are there any videos available ? I thought it could be cranked but don't...

I'm part way thru my first gen. renovation into an over lander. I have a raised sleeping platform in it that I use when in transit to where I'm going to spend some time, then I'll use my Oz tent. I have a screen for one window in the rear door. The problem is the sun roof is jammed and cannot be...

The Stanley Charger is a BC15BS. It looks the part. It has a thermo plastic rubber armored case and metal lift handles on the front. it can be set on end (important when you don't have much space) or set horizontally. So Here's hopeing it turns out a winner. I did get the extended warrantee! I...

Need proper battery box venting information I've read all the posts here about the need for venting. I am right at this point of construction in the back of my LWB first gen. Montero, so any info would be appreciated. My plan was to use a standard common plastic Noco battery box big enough...

Hmmm! Long dry spell? I'm waiting for the next chapter! What's next? George
