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...

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...

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...

Nearly ready to go the 4.9 and Ft. Locker route. Any concerns with "clutch pack" on the rear LSD prior to transfer? I have been running M1 75-90 LS since purchasing the truck, with what I feel have been great results. Some folks swear by Mitsu oil, but the M1 (diff), BG Full Synthetic...

I am finally performing deferred maintenance on my '01 purchased in 8/15. Whomever was in this thing last was a complete Muppet! Cam seals cocked sideways, missing bolts, etc. From the start, I attributed the rough idle and excessive LTFT's to the usual suspects, coils, wires, plugs, dirty...

After several months delay due to life's juggles, I am finally tearing back into Monty Nobaru, our '01 Ltd. Having done a DIY port/cleanup of my old 300EXC with fantastic results, I just couldn't bring myself to reassemble the manifold with the "parting lines" and "boogers" both in the runners...

Finally running through my '01 Limited which I purchased last Aug. No specific trips planned, however, I live in Moab, so Monty Nobaru sees mucho offroad "wheeling" and fast dirt road driving. Has anyone used Nolathane? Like them? Looks as though the Febest brand makes everything I need...

About to pull the trigger on some new tires and the concept of tall skinny is appealing, however, the Monty is a big boned girl. At nearly 5300# with my basic load I am concerned that the 235's will see higher operating temps on road and a shortened lifespan. I live in Moab, and eventually will...

Bought an '01 Limited with 137ish and immediately performed and oil change with M1 5-30 (Normal M1) and a Mobil 1 Filter. Had continual and lifter tick; tried the Idle/15s to 3K/Idle Fix. Better, but still annoying, particularly with 15-25F start temps. Tried filling 5mm over as was recommended...

Decided on a Gen 3 after much research on building a Gen2/2.5. Needed to work well here in Moab (no small feat), and still not require "suffering" to get to the trail. The Gen 3 has proven an extremely capable and comfortable highway partner. 2001 Limited with 136k. Sourced it from a dealer...
