    Head gasket change on a 95 SR 3.5 L question

    I used to be fairly active on here, but due to life in general I have been on a bit of a hiatus. My Monty is still running strong, except for ...you guessed it, a blown headgasket.. Just wondering who of you have had to deal with this situation, and if you did the repair yourself, what was...

    HAM radio to cell phone/land line?

    I've tried finding an answer to this, but came up empty handed, I thought I had read somewhere that you could get a hold of someone on a cell phone or landline with a HAM, is this true? I'm studying for my technicians right now, my test is on the 19th of this month, just trying to figure out my...

    Dual battery setup?

    I have a couple of projects lined up to get done on my truck this summer, one being hooking up some lights, getting a HAM radio, etc, so I've been thinking about putting in a dual battery setup to be safe. Has anyone here done this on their Monty yet? What was involved? Any tips or advice...

    Found a dead cat....lets beat it!...Tires?

    Ok, so I lurked on here awhile before I started actually posting, and have been posting here long enough that this subject has been tossed around quite a bit. I did a search, and was unable to find old posts that dealt with this enough to answer a couple of questions. First off, some ground...

    Engine stutter/stall on an automatic?

    So, my Monty (95 SR 3.5) started doing something new yesterday. As I was headed to school, when I would be coming to a stop at lights, the RPM's would drop really low to the point that I thought it was going to stall, I would tap the gas, and they would shoot right back up to normal. When I left...

    RichardT's 95 Montero SR Build Thread

    Alright, I decided to finally start a build thread, although I have done some things to my Monty already, I undertook the lengthiest mod I've done so far, and figured now was as good a time as any. I'll add my pics and info from other things I've done up until now, but after I get this started...

    Valve clicking?

    Just curious as to whether it's pretty common for our valves to click pretty loud, my 95 SR has always done it since I bought it back in the fall of 2010, the truck runs fine, but I wanted to know if this is something I should be worried about, or if there's a simple fix for it. Thanks in...

    Recalibrate Speedo's after wheel upgrade?

    I was wondering if any of you have done this? Is it difficult/expensive to do? My Monty's is gonna need some new shoes this year, and I want to upgrade to either 32's or 33's and was just curious about it, thanks :)

    Finally got a winch!!

    I've been meaning to get one for some time, but have been putting it off. This past weekend when I went to San Gabriel Canyon near Azusa, and my buddy got stuck in the mud in his new Rubicon Jeep and had to be winched out, it gave me the impetus I needed to go pick one up. It also helps that I...
