Hey all, I just snagged an iPad that I plan to use for GPS/navigation in my 4Runner. I've got the software all figured out so now the question is how to mount it. I'm looking at the proclip dash mount and combining that with a ram mount. I'm concerned that much leverage will cause issues with...

I have a pair of Bilstein 5165s for sale. Stud mount adaptors, billet reservoir clamps, and extra lower bushings are included. The finish isn't good but the shocks work fine. Specs are as follows: Extended Length: 22.40 in / 569.0 mm Collapsed Length: 13.64 in / 346.5 mm Valving: 255/70 I'm...

Hey all, I'm in the planning stages of my 4Runner build and I'm intrigued by the Radflo 2.0 rear shocks offered by Sonoran Steel. Does anyone run them and want to give me some feedback? They look great online but first hand reviews are always best.

How much travel are you guys/gals getting out of the front of a Gen 1 Frontier/Xterra with aftermarket UCAs? I'm cross shopping those with 4Runners and Tacomas and I can get travel numbers for those but I haven't found any for the Nissans yet.

Hey all, Yesterday my died at a stoplight. It started running a little rough and it felt like I lost most of my brake boost just before this happened. It was difficult to restart and required lots of throttle to keep it running. While I drove it from the light to a safe place to park a...

Hey all, I just got back from a fun weekend trip up to monache meadows via Sherman pass trail. Trip was awesome except I started having some serious issues staying cool on the trail. I have never had a problem before this weekend. For much of the way back, I had to run my heater on full...

I just installed OME suspension on my rig so I have no use for these. They'll lift the rear of your Gen 1 Monty a bit. Truck had 161K when I removed the springs.

Is anyone running anything other than the stock bumpstops on a Gen 2? I went to some progressive foam bumpstops on the front of my old Toyota and it made a big difference in ride quality. Same thing on my old Miata. I'd like to get some progressive poly ones in the rear of the Monty (looks...

I just checked the mpg rating for my 96 Montero SR and it said 14-18 mpg. I'm getting 13-15. My truck is stock save for 33s so I do expect to lose a little mileage but not that many. Is something up or is this just what I should expect?

Lately I've been trying to source other suspension options for the front of my Montero other than just new torsions and shocks as they are fairly limited in the travel department. So far I've found nothing but I still want more travel out of the front. Has anyone tried using low profile...

Does anyone know what kind of diff the center differential is? Open, limited slip?

I just picked up a Mitsuishi Montero and suspension options are pretty limited. I knew about OME's offering and thanks to the ad on the ExPo main page, I discovered Ironman. As far as I understand, Ironman is another Aussie company who competes with OME. What I don't know is who makes a...

Hello all, I picked up a 96 Montero SR yesterday with about 146k on the clock. I've been looking for a replacement for my truck for a little while now and the Monty ended up being the top of my list. It's the only the second car (out of nine, so far) I've owned that has AC and I couldn't be...

I'll be getting a Montero SR as soon as I find an acceptable one and I've been thinking about the suspension. I plan on getting OME coils in rear and keeping the stock torsion bars (unless that's a terrible idea) but I'm not sure about shocks. I'd like to try the Bilstein 5150s in the rear but...

How much suspension travel front and rear does a gen 2 Montero have? I'm debating between a Trooper and a Montero for my next 4x4 and that is one bit of info I've been having a hard time finding. Thanks in advance.

Just saw this while perusing my local c-list. http://ventura.craigslist.org/zip/2015443752.html

I have a lightly used spare tire from a six lug Tacoma. Its mounted on a steel wheel. $50 obo and I'm located in Oxnard, CA

CYi5 and I headed up to Calico today during the ridiculous rainfall to have an adventure. Luckily, the rain mostly stopped except for the occasional drizzle as soon as we got there. I had never been before so I didn't know what to expect. That place is amazing! I've never seen such colors...

I just found this cruising craigslist and thought someone here might be interested. Its not mine, I've never seen it, etc. http://ventura.craigslist.org/zip/1574970855.html

I have a set of 4 stock steel wheels from an 87 Toyota 4X4 Pickup with 31" BFG ATs on them. One tire is wasted and one other also needs to be replaced. The other two aren't bad, one is roughly a year old and the other is a little older than that. Price is $175 obo and location is Oxnard, CA.
