My roommate and I came to the conclusion that it's either WAAG or Manik. There's no labels or markings to confirm this though. I just saw your jack mount, that's really clever! I might have to steal that idea if I ever get a hilift :)

Made a trip to pick n pull yesterday and snagged this brush guard for $35! It came off a 94 LS so I was worried that it wouldn't fit, since my body is a bit wider up front. As you can see from the next picture, it fit just fine. I had to trim the upper corners off of my front skid plate...

Thanks! I wasn't a huge fan of the color, but it really grew on me. The hubs were super easy to install. Took about half an hour to do both. Don't forget to seal them up with some sort of rtv.

There's definitely some oxidation near the rear as well as on the hood. My camera just does a good job at covering up the blemishes :-) Thanks! And you guessed right, I'm in the Portland area. This monty spent most of its life up in Washington though.

Hello everyone! My search for a Montero came to an end last July when I snagged a gen 2.5 for $1900. It's a 2000 Endeavor model with 151k miles. I've done a decent amount of work since buying it, although none of it is documented unfortunately. Work done/parts replaced so far: Alternator...

Depends on how easily you can remove the banjo fitting. Mine would NOT budge with my breaker bar (even after letting it soak in penetrating oil) I ended up borrowing an impact wrench from a buddy and it zipped right off. Besides the banjo fitting, everything else was straight forward. I would...

I replaced my fuel filter today with an oem filter, and I thought it would be fairly interesting to cut the old one open to see how bad it really was. This is from my 2000 gen 2.5 with 150k miles. I have a feeling this is the original filter! Here are the pictures

Awesome write-up Toasty! I've been throwing around this idea for a while, so it's nice that somebody was able to do it before me and confirm everything :D

Damn no way? I'm down by the kozy korner! I've been wondering who's green sr that was! That's a clean 1st gen by the way, I dig it. I can come by tonight or tomorrow evening. Actually I can come by just about any time after work since you're only a mile away. EDIT: just saw your PM

Alright cool! PM me your location. Depending on where you are I might be able to make time this week to come out. I just replaced my passenger side headlight on my monty, although I might be interested in your grille! I want to have an extra on hand just in case

Any chance I could snag the hood from ya? :^)
