    Houston/Texas Land Rover body work

    I have a One Ten with rust issues on the bulkhead and outriggers. I'm looking for a local recommendation for a capable/honest shop that can address these issues. Thanks in advance.

    TX, NM, AZ, UT (and maybe CA?), aka the bumper run

    My wife and I picked up this gen 2.5 Montero back in July with low miles, but some rust. Was initially surprised as it was a Texas car, but spent time in Iowa. Anyway, with 110k, it replaced my nearly identical Montero with 260k. I've since completely replaced the front end and cooling...

    new to me gen 1 swb 4d55 swapped

    I am the happy owner of a formerly badged 1988 Dodge Raider bought from a forum member here (sneakyninja). It has a long Arizona history and has recently been 4d55 swapped, along with front and rear axles and diffs and transmission. My son and I flew out last Friday to Phoenix to pick it up...

    Maintenance on new (to me) 2.5

    I picked up a 110k gen 2.5 about a month ago which I intend to keep. I have no service history on it so I'm planning on going through as much of the mechanicals as possible as it will probably pull DD duty. I plan on doing the cooling system, radiator, hoses, new belts, timing belt and...

    strange overheating on Gen 2.5

    I picked up a low mileage (110k) 2.5 yesterday about 5 hours from home. Vehicle was in good condition and I did a look over before driving it home. About 35 miles into the return I encountered an odd problem. I was using cruise control at about 75 mph and had the a/c on high when I glanced...

    assistance needed - 87 110

    I recently imported a 3 door former MOD 110 and am planning to do a significant amount of work. I am planning to go ahead and replace the suspension with OME springs and shocks. I eventually plan to add a dormobile kit to the 110, so I think I might need some rear springs which can handle the...

    5spd swap into Gen 2.5

    Will the pedal brackets, shifter linkage, master/slave, and other manual trans components from a Gen 2 work on a Gen 2.5? I'm looking to do a TDi/5spd swap in my Gen 2.5.

    Thinking about a JDM swap and 5spd

    I am thinking about ditching the 3.5l and getting a 4d56t diesel and associated manual transmission. The 4d56t that I saw has an AWD transmission. Is that a misnomer or am I getting into more than a pretty straight forward swap?

    dolomiti's 1998 Mitsu Montero (SR?)

    I picked up this Montero last night for a bargain price. I've owned 2 Gen 1 LWB Monteros and loved them, but this is my first 2nd (2.5) generation. I plan to keep the mods pretty simple for now, cleaning the interior, getting the a/c back on line, replacing both front seats, adding some BFG...

    Custom Expedition Trailer with Eezi-Awn 1600 - $1,800

    I've sold my jeep and am now selling this 2 year old custom built trailer with approximately 1,500 miles on it. Trailer is very sturdy (maybe a bit too heavy even) with pintle hook. Trailer is 11 feet long and box is 6'x5'x4.5'. Eezi Awn is older than trailer, but in excellent condition. Has...

    My new 4'x6' Trailer

    I got a trailer for camping gear and RTT. Other than a pintle hitch and flipped axle, it is not really for heavy duty off-road use. I plan to add a kitchen and battery set-up in the near future. Here are some pics out at Guadalupe National Park. We had 55 mph wind gusts that first night and...

    M101 on a Jeep TJ

    I have a 2004 Wrangler TJ and am looking at picking up an M101. The primary reason for the trailer is to mount my eezi-awn 1600 and carry some camping supplies. The m101 is listed at 1340lbs and the Wrangler can tow 2000lbs. Is this a bad idea?

    Back in the fold, with a TJ Wrangler

    I picked this 2004 on Thursday and am happy to have another expedition platform to play with. My 4 year old son is equally excited, telling me that he likes papa's new mud jeep. Now I need a rack so I can put my eezi-awn on and, eventually, a soft top and half doors.

    1989 Mitsubishi Montero LWB -- $1000

    1989 Mitsubishi Montero LWB, 3.0L Auto This was my second Mitsubishi Montero. I bought about 2 years ago. At that time, it ran very well and had a $3500 engine rebuild only 11,000 miles prior. I added a set of Old Man Emu and 33x10.5s. The truck was running fine until an electrical fire...

    Montero pulling a trailer

    My Montero has the following specs: Gen 1 LWB 3.0L 5spd EMU Suspension What do you guys think of pulling a 14ft camper trailer with a 350lb tongue/hitch weight and total weight just shy of 3000lbs? Is that just too big of a trailer? Here is a pic of it:

    RTT - Quick Release Mount

    My Eezi-Awn is currently mounted on my Montero, on a Thule rack. When mounting, I just drilled holes through the Thule bars and ran a bolt through that. I know I saw a kit somewhere that allowed for mounting to bars, without drilling, like a quick-connect. I have searched far and wide, but to...

    My 89 build

    I picked this up in June. I had a 1990 that I sold a couple of years ago and regretted it and finally left a note on this really nice one down my street. The guy called me back a couple weeks later and viola, it is mine. It is in pretty good shape, with a new (7,000 miles) engine. Here is...
