Does the 2nd gen Sequoia have a rear AC unit as well? I like the 1st gen but I like the 2nd gen even better and lifted they look absolutely massive. Does your LR4 have the third row seat option? Can you control the climate for the third row or do you simply open or close the louvers?

Ok it does look like the 1st gen Sequoia has vents blowing into the cargo area. The captains chairs are a problem though. Need to have the dog stay in the rear. Let me see if there was an option for a bench second row and what the 2nd gens look like. Now low gear is not great but oh wel..

I may try Bils at some point if I keep the Montero. I do agree the monroes in the OME kit are probably valved with too much low speed compression. I will look into them. Dont really care about third row seat legroom since only the dog will ride back there. The real need are AC vents blowing...

I have a 2004 Montero Limited with an old emu lift kit. The vehicle has been somewhat reliable and functional but my wife absolutely refuses to drive it. The NVH levels are simply too high in almost any situation expect glass smooth road surface and going at the most 70 mph. At higher speeds...

2004 Montero Limited located in Davie, FL (15 mins from FLL airport) This vehicle is pretty rusty underneath and comes with several issues: 1. The brake lines to the rear are severly rusted and started to leak. The car is not driveable unless you are willing to drive without brakes. Repairing...

GEN 2s and 3s are easy enough to find. It's those Unicorn GEN 2.5 that are hiding in the bushes.

I am going to resucitate this thread because 1, I have an opportunity for a GEN II.5 and 2, because it's a good thread that deserves to live on. I have been looking on and off for what must be years now for a gen II.5. Now there is one is my area. It appears to come with problems however. So...

I wanted to come back to this as I did the research on requiring a CDL if you drive a vehicle with air brakes. This is incorrect. A CDL is not required for vehicles with a GVWR of less than 26,001 lbs regardless of type of brake operation. FMCSA §383.5 Definitions. Commercial driver's license...

Yes. I will be doing all the work myself. Guess you could say I am mechanically inclined. Sometimes challenged might be the better word. Not sure if you meant to imply that the M1078 has less power than the Fuso. It does not. It might weigh a lot more than the FUSO but it also has over twice...

The Unimogs are a bit outside of my budget. And parts AFAIK as still pretty expensive. After some of the posts in my thread on Steelsoldiers I am actually also evaluating an M923A2. Seems like many think it is a more off road capable platform and apparently also more reliable. I am currently...

Thanks for the replies. I do have a thread going on Steelsoldiers. But over there I have the same problem as here but inverted. They know about the M1078 but not about the FUSO lol.

Hello all, I am trying to decide whether I should get a M1078 or a used manual trans 5 speed 4x4 Mitsubishi FUSO as a project platform on which to build an off road camper. After lurking and researching most of the relevant information on M1078s I could find I think I am now getting research...
