    2nd Gen INFINITI QX56/QX80 Build

    I've been a lurker here for a bit...currently have an 06 Montero and am considering moving on to something a bit larger for the growing family. Did I see that Nisstec is now importing the Dash predator bumper? I hadn't been on their site in a bit but I don't remember that last time I checked.

    Gen 3... 265 vs 285. Help me decide

    Yeah, i'm sure 14 year old springs has something to do with it which I'll be dealing with in the near future. The offest is 0mm, so 46mm less than stock which I'm also sure plays a part in it. Overall I'm super happy which the direction I'm headed

    Has any one tried the Dobinson Twin Tube shocks and springs on their Gen 3? What lift are you running on your Montero?

    I think the OP was asking about the standard twin-tubes...not the MRR. I'm curious as well. Also thinking about the Koni/Lovells set-up

    Gen 3... 265 vs 285. Help me decide

    can you expound on why you recommend the Koni shocks? I'll probably end up with OME just because they are easier to grab here in the states.

    Gen 3... 265 vs 285. Help me decide

    I did post there as well. Just trying to get feedback since I've got to make decisions. I really do like how yours sits. I've studied the suspension sheet and it doesn't give a height for the Lovells so I can't tell which give 1.5" vs 2" vs whatever. Anyone you know running the OME springs...

    Gen 3... 265 vs 285. Help me decide

    First off...I've searched, I've researched, I've ready FB groups so take it easy on me for starting this discussion. Here's my scenario and really want to get some honest feedback. '06 Gen 3 and I need new tires and am probably going to lift as well. My decisions points are obviously what...

    Eddie Bauer First Ascent Stargazer 3p Tent

    Really like this tent but tried to kill 2 birds with 1 stone (backpacking and car camping) and it doesn't do it. $350 OBO; also open to trades for either smaller lightweight backpacking tent or larger car camping tent...

    TPMS Warning Light

    Been blinking for a bit and tire pressure is not the issue. How do I troubleshoot which one(s) are bad or better yet, is there an easy way to eliminate/turn off? Black tape always works but looking for other alternatives.

    Intrigued by the LR3...currently have an 06 Montero

    The Gen 3 is nice truck...and mine has services records from day 1 so I really don't have any issues with it. I wouldn't mind finding one with lower mileage but as you said, there aren't that many out that haven't been trashed and since they stopped bringing to the US in 2006, it's a tough...

    Intrigued by the LR3...currently have an 06 Montero

    I don't know why (I'm sure you guys do!), but over the past week or two I've been really intrigued by the LR3...don't tell my buddies a page over! I will first say that I love my Gen 3 Montero with 150K miles and it's been good to me. Very capable, family friendly, and ride quality is...

    Gen 3 and tire noise

    Any one have experience with the Falken AT3w? I currently have Cooper AT3s and yes, not a big fan on the "drone" even at slower speeds

    285/70/17s on '06 OEM Rims

    Wouldn't mind seeing a pic or two if you get a chance. Did you mean 285/70? Or 75? Why did you pick 285 over 265 or just for obvious reasons of being bigger?

    Connecting Double DIN DVD Player to Gen III OEM drop down DVD Monitor

    I'm exploring replacing my head unit with a double din unit and relocating climate controls lower. Currently I have the OEM DVD player which frankly, with a 3 yr old and a newborn is a valuable asset. I have not pulled the DVD player out yet to see how it is wired/connected to the monitor but...

    285/70/17s on '06 OEM Rims

    It's time to start planning mods, probably starting with tires since my 265/65/17 Cooper AT3s are noisy and cupping do in part to the previous owners lack of tire rotation. I've searched and I haven't heard any discussion about plus sizing tires on the stock 17s. Just curious is there would be...

    Gen 3 Antenna Motor Replacement

    Yep..tracked that down too but just feeling the clicking. I am not removing/selling mine just in case I want it again. Unless the Ebay route is lucrative...then I may sell
