In the process of bringing the new monty up to full operating status there are a number of 'necessities' that I'll need. No, this isn't an 'off-roader' charity thread so if you have what I want, just let me know what you want for it. Of course, if you want to consider me a charity and simply send it to me, that would be great too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> TIA!

Owners Manual
Just getting to know my rig better is all. I've already gotten the FSM but want the owners manual(s) as well if anyone has it. If you have a pdf of it, that would be excellent as well.

I checked ebay and there's one I'm gonna bid on (on the final day) and another that some fool wants $119 for. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

longer rear coils
I know there's valley but I'm not too keen on their products as I've had a bad experience with them before. What else is everyone running? Does Iron Man make a set for the Gen II monty? ARB? Yes, I've searched but it didn't come up with anything too conclusive unlike the gen I's (putting Gen II's in them).
