    Custom Front Seats for Gen 2 Montero

    What aftermarket seat choices (from other OEM Vehicles) have you found work well with the Gen 2's? I'd like to find something with the integrated armrest and maybe adapt it to the bouncy seat frame. I currently have a near perfect set of seats in my 95SR. I pulled the back seats, and am...

    Gen 2 smartphone mount

    It's a RAM mount, so you can mount pretty much anything to it, and attached to the radio faceplate screws, it is really solid. I love the set up. An earlier iteration was lower and when I modified it, I added another 6" and now it is perfect. I have used a bigger mount to put my Ipad there and...

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    I have a 1995 Montero SR, and I honestly never used the rear seats (and they were a major pain to put up and down) so I took them out. I've looked at a lot of rear storage ideas, but never saw anyone who had different sized boxes on each side. I wanted to keep the ability to put my garbage cans...

    Dino hunting 1995 LS build

    Is the 98 instrument cluster just a bolt in to a 95? I hate the orange color of the gauges, as I cannot see them during the day with my sunglasses on.

    Gen 2 smartphone mount

    It's been a while since I posted, but I thought I'd share an idea I came up with for a pretty cool smartphone mount for my 1995 SR. I've used it for over a year and it works great. What I've done is taken the plastic face plate off the dash where the radio sits, and I created a metal mount that...

    Tracking down short that is blowing my combination meters fuse on 95SR

    Actually, I guess it is the actual gauge that is bad. We tested the resistance and it was out of spec. Any idea where I can get a new gauge?

    Tracking down short that is blowing my combination meters fuse on 95SR

    I think I have finally figured out what it is: apparently the water temp sending unit is shorting out. Funny thing, is we pulled the wire from it so it won't continue to short, but for some reason, now the montero will barely start and won't run at all. Step on the gas it dies. Yet, plug in the...

    1995 Montero SR Dash Gauges Fuse is blowing

    So I found the problem it is the compass/thermometer guage. I guess I need to find another.

    1995 Montero SR Dash Gauges Fuse is blowing

    It's fuse #11 that is popping. As soon as I start the vehicle, pow! And sometimes I can run it for a few minutes before it blows.

    1995 Montero SR Dash Gauges Fuse is blowing

    It has about 110k miles on it, all of the sudden the fuse that controls the speedometer, tach, water temp, oil pressure, fuel tank level gauges/lights has been popping. As soon as I turn the ignition it pops. The 4x4 light works as well as the light that indicates overdrive. Any ideas?

    Need Alternator Belt Tensioner Bracket for 1995 SR

    No, I don't think he broke it. It squeeled before he got to it.

    Need Alternator Belt Tensioner Bracket for 1995 SR

    Anyone know of a good source? My mechanic says it needs to be replaced.

    Looking for Tablet Dash Mount Thread

    So I got my Ram Mount goodies and started thinking (a scary thought)- some of these other ideas were good, but the mount was too low. The grab bar was a thought, but I thought it may get in the way when a passenger was riding with me. I was also doing a radio swap, and as soon as the took off...

    More Gen 2 seat questions

    Perfect..... tomorrow I will do that. How much do you weigh? I heard the bouncy seats lose their bounciness at around 250 lbs. I am 240 (and trying to get back down to 210).

    More Gen 2 seat questions

    I will next time I see him. He lives 200 miles away. I was just wondering if anyone else had the issue and what solutions they found. Searching the internet brings back pretty much nothing. My guess is there is more than a handful of people larger than 6'3" who drive Monteros..... I would think.....

    More Gen 2 seat questions

    I am a reasonably tall guy 6'3" and when I am driving my '95 SR, with my electric seat all the way back, my knees are almost touching the dash- its a pretty tight fit, and I'd like to have my knees at least 3" from the dash. A friend of mine who has the 95 LS is at least a couple inches taller...

    95 rear seat

    FINALLY!!!! I finally got it to flip up. Not sure why it didn't want to, but I will leave it up and lube the hell out of it to figure out why it didn't want to do so. Thanks for the help. I think what I did was climb in back and use my knee to push down on the black lever by the floor while...

    95 rear seat

    So by pulling that round tab, the seat folds forward? Where is the seat back when you do that? I have looked all over the place on youtube and nothing addresses tilting the seat forward- everything talks about laying the seat backwards to create the bed. I have spent way too much time on this...

    95 rear seat

    Yup, about a hundred times and nothing happened. That is why I am asking a seemingly dumb question. Anyone know what the little black lever is supposed to do in picture #3? So, to re-iterate, in order to flip the seat, the seat back is laying on the seat bottom and you supposedly pull the nylon...

    95 rear seat

    Ok gang, I know how to lay the seat down, what I want to do is to fold the seat and it's back forward so the back of the seat touches the back of the front seats in a vertical position, if that can be done. Otherwise, I'd like to take the seats out. I have been fiddling with it for a few hours...
