    OmegaNS Gen3 Build Thread - Expedition Newb

    If I had had the time, I would have liked to have done the job myself and seen if I could have had the motor rebuilt or replaced. I suspect the accumulator was leaking and that caused the motor to run constantly and rack up a lot of wear. What fixes are you alluding to, coffeegoat? It may...

    OmegaNS Gen3 Build Thread - Expedition Newb

    I started the truck the other day, pulled it into to Reverse to back out of garage and realized the brakes were not working. I could get it to stop but I had to stand on the pedal. After a few seconds the pedal sank to the floor like it had re-gained the brake boost. The brake pedal pressure...

    Gen3 - Radiator Replacement - All Metal Version?

    As part of a maintenance blitz I'm gathering parts for, I want to replace my radiator. Has anyone found an all metal version to replace theirs with. CSF makes radiators with metal end tanks (brass end tanks) but they are for Gen2 and Gen2.5 only. I'd be fine with a all aluminum version too...

    OmegaNS Gen3 Build Thread - Expedition Newb

    P0174 and P0154 were fixed by changing both driver side (left) oxygen sensors. I went through FSM and followed the procedures I had the patience for but much of the work would require a Mitsu specific scan tool. I used a bluetooth OBDII scan tool and Torque app to do what I could. Nothing...

    2nd times a charm build thread

    You had TE37's on the white Gen 3? What size/offset and what size tires in that pic? I really like how that looks.

    Gen 3 Montero Starter - Issues with an answer

    It would crank very slowly for the first 2-3 revolutions. Just like the battery was dying or if there was a bad ground/power connection. I replaced the battery and left a charger on it every night. Even with a full charge, it still turned over really really slow. There toward the end, I...

    Gen 3 Montero Starter - Issues with an answer

    My 2002 Montero was progressively getting harder to start. I changed the battery, checked the wiring to starter, verified alternator was working and finally decided it must be the starter (solenoid going bad). It was very sluggish to turn over. I came here and searched to see if there were...

    6. Ohh and my radiator looks ... sketchy. The end tanks are very discolored and they just look brittle and ready to crack. Where could I find an all metal version?

    OmegaNS Gen3 Build Thread - Expedition Newb

    I took it for state inspection and it failed for tires and brake pads, so time to open up the wallet. I mounted a set of Yokohama Geolander A/T G015 in 265/75/R16. Would have liked to have bought the BF Goodrich, but I'll do it when I budget some money for different wheels. It sits a skosh...

    OmegaNS Gen3 Build Thread - Expedition Newb

    I kept my last car ('05 Mazda3) alive for 419k miles and needed to find something a little bigger now that kids are getting older. I've always wanted an overland vehicle and passively searched for fj80's for years, but never pulled the trigger. I got honest with myself, though, and realized...
