Just to clarify, ALL 01/02 Limited’s have the LSD with 4.30 and 5spd. XLS’s come with 4.90 open, and XLS with sunroof have 4.90 with LSD as I understand it.

265/75R16 is plenty IMO. IMO 4.9‘s are a must for 33‘s and anything 33 will be HEAVY, unless avail in something other than Load E. Do you want looks, or sufficient capability, better mileage, and another $1000 in your pocket(33‘s Addtl cost, gears, lift) I am going to stick with 32‘s, and add...

Last hi-jack. I know that you weighed F/R, I meant using scales to corner weight the truck with gear and to adjust your packing to achieve even weight distribution. Made a very perceptible difference with my 02. I usually pack to offset driver weight L/R, but I was shocked by what some...

Hadn’t even occurred to me to use Torque Pro for this. Score for the future. Multimeter method worked ish. Is the T-stop factory adjusted? Mine was definitely moved. Any info on T. Plate position? Or just closed, then adjust grub screw to contact, then insert feeler gauge? Many thanks btw.

Go to the trouble. Have quite a bit of moto/bicycle suspension experience, but vehicle wise, it has been limited to rally cars. Giving them the info allows them to tune for specific bump amplitude/frequencies, i.e. washboard conditions. The info will definitely allow them to tune your shim...

What he said. My 02 was inoperable when I got it. Popped the clear portion off to polish it, performed the R10/R12 solder fix (for Temp/Fuel) and re-installed properly. Presto! Working instrument cluster, works for 01-06 http://www.pajero.guru/how-to-replace-a-dashboard-bulb/...

Congratulations! Get some new sneakers and you will be very surprised at what you can safely run, trailwise, here in Moab. Super capable, even without a lift, though I certainly suggest that. Adventure Driven Design makes some tasty skid plates, you will need a Middle Skid at a minimum IMO...

The Cooper's are solid and very popular tires. The KO2 is far better offroad, but the Cooper gets the nod for highway and shallow snow. I was stunned by the KO2's winter performance. I reallly didn't expect much(3PMSF requires only 200% increase in longitudinal grip iirc), but even coming...

Super nice build! Following your progress closely as I intend to go King’s by Fall. Your valving/spring rates will likely help Filthy zero right in on what I am after. Thanks for sharing. What are your weights? Can’t read the image.

Running KO2’s in 265/75R16 Load E. I would by them again, but plan to go to 285/70R17 in order to go Load D. These will be plentiful and cheap as they are the new OEM fitment on JL Rubicon’s. I can go 33 and save a few #’s over the Load E’s. If they made it, I would have opened my wallet for...

Thanks for the suggestion. have a regular 6G74 non-GDI. I am muddling through it on my own. The TPS is way out of spec resistance in it’s current position, it’s off the manifold and I have rigged up a testing loom. Ran better with just a small tweak of position to “prove concept”. I was hoping...

VTR, at the end of it all, will be a fantastic vehicle. Chasing down a monkeyed with TB, but in spite of this, I have loved this vehicle since' I got it back in '15. My whole family has NM/NP Montero's now(my folks put 385k on a 90 RS LWB), so we already had some positive experience with...

Monty Nobaru had a pretty rough idle when purchased, which at the time I attributed to plugs, and the other usual suspects. I ran through the typical laundry list, have used Torque to datalog the O2 sensors, ST/FT, etc. all looks good. Monty Nobaru, runs well when warm, but lumpily when cold...

Those stainless headers look the business, are a ripper deal, and they would be amazing on a performance build. That said, I'm thinking OEM's, some serious cleanup of casting lines, interior cleanup, and some sort of ceramic/paint or slurry coating(Jet Hot). Maybe Cerakote with some leftovers...

Not sure how I missed those on ADD, the last week has been mechanical “Ground Hog Day” readying our Monteros for our business launch. Coming soon...Raven Shuttle in Moab, UT!

Many thanks. Please keep us posted with regard to the Raid sourcing, they seem ideal for my use.

I installed AC Delco Professional ft. upper balljoints less than 30k ago. The boots are split and yawning open to the elements. I simply didn’t have the $ for OEM at the time, and have no desire to warranty these and perform the work again in 25k miles. Would love some “baller” versions like...

Awesome! Think I will do this with balsa and hardwood dowels, but I love the concept. Many thanks.

Dollars to donuts, I’ll bet you have a cracked manifold. My ‘01 has a cracked DS and it has a loping idle and sounds on the verge of stalling when cold. I suspect that this is due to the EGR circuit( on the DS) “sucking” through the manifold. Once throughly warmed, no problem. If you have an...

My family and I are in the process of assembling a fleet of G3's for a Moab based shuttle business. We have been actively looking at regionally listed vehicles. An Angel Fire, NM local has a Gen 3 XLS (3.8/5spd)for sale with 203k(Pearl/Sahara Beige/Beige Int.) He has it listed at $3300, but...
