I am in Bend and plan to check this one out, question is can it be made to work with a Tacoma crew cab short bed? Any input would be appreciated.

I am interested in the rack, could you bring it to Bend, Or. or meet somewhere between. Any ideas of the weight of the rack?

Nice, I am looking at the very same setup for my same truck. I am still on the stock suspension. What are the specifics of your OME setup? 885/886? and prior to the shell was your truck running with some rake? it looks quite level now.

Seems to be a lot of confusion here between the Outlander and Outlander sport. The two vehicles are not related in any way. One is tiny (outlander sport) the other (outlander) is a compact/mid size with an available third row. Mitsu is coming up with something big here in the near future, but...

In Central Oregon I could maybe get 19 mpg at 60-65mph in any one of my gen III's, slightly less with my gen 2.5. With 255/85R16's on one of my 2003's it dropped to about 17-18 highway and 13-14 in town. I have 31x10.5 C load duratracs on my 98 and drive very conservatively. It is not a very...

I have had just about every Montero that came to North America, currently have a gen 2.5. Have had 3 gen 3's. There is pros and cons to both, but the 2.5's is for sure a "tougher" rig as far as serious off roading goes and with the locker it is better and crawling along through really nasty...

I have a 1998 Montero (full size 3.5L) with 136K. I am getting blue smoke under hard acceleration or when I rev it hard in neutral. No smoke on start up or after prolonged idle. I know generally with this motor smoke equals valve guide seals, but I am not sure if my symptoms indicate that...

I would look for a 2003 XLS, I regret selling both (BOTH!) of mine. The only real change from 03-06 was the change from 16" to 17" wheels for 05 and 06, and dropping the XLS from the line up after 03 and only offering the limited from 04-06. The 2003 XLS has the same drive train as the...

Anyone have one? opinions? Have seen a few around here in the PNW. Looks like a good balance between a full cab-over and a pop up. Or just a compromise. I really like the barn doors.

I have owned both a 90 trooper with the 4cyl 5speed, and two 2002 Trooper S 4x4 auto with the G80 LSD, and a 96 80 series LC with factory lockers. If I had to choose I would go with a later model Trooper, way nicer daily driver than the 80 and more than capable for most off road excursions. I...

Just picked up a 1998 gen 2.5 Montero, and am looking for some advice or actual data on tire size and the effects on mileage. I like tall and skinny, so 33x10.5 is a consideration. My driving is mostly rural, and relatively flat so the taller tire and rotational mass might not be a big deal...

I had 255/85R16's on my last gen III, with an OME lift of course. They were BFG MT's. I liked them, but they were heavy and stiff (10 ply) I bit overkill I thought, and killed the mpg's. This time around I went with the basic 265/75R16. The best call I think would be 275/70R17 fitted on...

Plant I spoke with my friend at VW again, and going to try to email the info he has. Anyhow, he said the the new Jetta is already in production at the new plant in Tennessee, and there is another line being built for the T5. Spartanburg is incorrect, my bad. I am starting to save as well.

Just finished hosting a Xmas party in which two of my guests, both whom work for VW, assured me that that VW is either retooling or building a plant in or around Spartanburg NC in order to build Transporters for the US market. TDI's nonetheless. These guys are super solid and good friends and...
