Morning all, I'm having an A/C issue. Last summer, my A/C started intermittently blowing warm. It happens really consistently now, it will usually start off cold, then go warm after 10-20 mins of cold. It happens quicker if outside ambient temp is high or dry. I brought it in to the shop, they...

The grease within my glove box latches had thickened to the point that the latches barely work and sometimes don't work at all. For the top glove box, I could open it, but the latch would not return when releasing the handle, so the glove box would not latch closed after opening. And it was...

Looks like a lot of people want a lift with their suspension and for it to ride "better". Of course, "better" is different for everyone and lot's of online mentions of suspension for our vehicles don't compare aftermarket suspensions to each other or give good detailed descriptions of ride...

Been getting this new to me montero up to date on maintenance and the truck is butter smooth under 50mph, but about 50mph and higher I get a slight rumble/vibration from what sounds like the rear end. It is definitely speed related, as it comes on at the higher speeds, and as I increase speed...

Newest 2002 limited Gen 3 owner here, been a long time coming and I couldn't be more excited. My use case: Weekend road trips with 2-6 hours of highway before relatively easy 4x4 roads, fire roads, and deep sandy desert conditions. Also, needs to be able to haul a dirt bike on the hitch or a...

Anyone know of a good lr3 shop in SoCal? Truck is in northern San Diego County. My parent's lr3 has low compression in one cylinder and the euro shop they go to quoted $17,000-$22,000 for an engine replacement. I don't know if that is a new, used, remanufactured, but it sounds absurdly high...

1995 Montero LS 5-speed. Last year of the cool dash with the grab handle in the US. This truck has been my weekend camping and touring rig. I do not off road this truck, though I do take it down dirt roads with a dirt bike on the hitch. I built this truck to blend in while being comfortable and...

These are the Montero gen 2/2.5 specific shocks provided by Adventure Driven Design with only 1,071 miles on them. Attached is a pic of the receipts with mileage from changing these out. I bought them, waited 5 or 6 months for delivery (covid delays), had my shop install them, took one trip...

Pics of my platform. Planned on carpeting but here I am, a year later, using it all the time and still haven’t made it look nice. So many projects, such limited time (off work). Scuse the crappy pics and dirty truck, these were taken after a camping trip. You get the idea. 3 sections. The...

BAD vibrations when I first got the truck, front tires were out of round. New tires were worlds better, but still some vibration at highway speeds. On really nice new highway, I could get up to 80 with no vibes, but any bump starts a chain reaction of vibes that I can sometimes feel in my seat...

Seized bolt broke when I tried to take out the thermostat. Pics attached. Is the thermostat housing replaceable? How big of a job am I looking at? Will it be easier to remove the radiators/grill and drill out the bolt? How f$&$ed am I?

A friend has an sr that had the butterfly valve let go and drop into the motor. he says motor is toast. I remember reading somewhere on the internet that sometimes it will only kill the valves, and leave the the bottom end ok. Anyone have any input? Is it possible that I can get the heads...

Easier than I expected. Had to take off the glove box completely. I did remove the blower motor for easier access, but didn’t really HAVE to. Once the glove box was out of the way, Unclip the latch that holds the air control flap to the rod. Then cut the plastic supports off. Then squeeze a 7”...

My girlfriend, mom and sister (all diffferent people) affectionately call my my monty the Barbie Car because of the toylike features like transforming into a bed or the little flashlight in the back or the sun roof or the grab bar on the dash instead of an airbag. I figure I don’t have a choice...
