I finally did it! I went full retard. Picked up my first Disco on a trade. I lucked out and traded somebody my 97 Dodge Ram for it. Wow. It's a 95 model, loaded. Jump seats, leather all that jazz. 185,500 on the clock. What really grabbed me about it that I jumped all over it for was that...

So in searching for the coil spacers for the budget lift, I ran across a set of 3" spacers. Am I asking for trouble by putting these on instead of 2"? I haven't taken my sway bar out or anything, so I shouldn't have too much issue ..... supposedly.

Alright ... what can kill an alternator? Because apparently one of the answers is me. I'm going through my second one in 4 months. The OE alternator finally died about 4 months ago due to just ... well ... age and use I guess. I got a new one from Autozone, threw it in there, and its been...

We need to figure out how to get these to the US. Holy crap it's awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqofqA2kEhE&feature=related

So all my Jeep buddies keep making jokes about the 9 Montero owners in the US that actually use them and modify them for what those crazy Japanese engineers designed them to do. Sadly ... sometimes I believe there's only 9 of us. Which brings me to my next question ... how many of us that we...

Ok ... I've read just about every "Should I buy a Rover?" Article, thread, post, and flyer out there. Here's the issue. I've only owned 1 Rover, and it was for about 2 hours. The head gasket was bad and I got my money back. I don't want that to jade me from possibly owning a potentially...

Well ... I have a crazy story and a lesson to be learned. So, we went down to Orlando (again) for a second attempt at a little mini vacation. A few days of driving around that dreadful town really took it's toll on poor Large Marge. The alternator needle bearings seized and failed all at...

Anybody know where I can find (or what fits) a normal run of the mill brush/grille guard for our astute traveling machines? I know one of you just trashed one, and I was right there cheering you on. Here's my oh crap moment. The look of the brush guard has actually grown on me ... so here I...

So, how did you guys lift your trucks? My aim is to only lift it to where the 33's can flex well, and then where I have the choice to run 35's if I really get a crazy bug up my butt. I've done some digging around, and I've seen the Sequoia spacers and torsion bar crank down, and the OME lift...

Hey guys, so I got this random engine sputter all of a sudden and its becoming more and more frequent. Last time this happened it was because during a water crossing the ignition control module got water in it. We hit the trails the other day, but I was careful about the water fording this...

Alright, here we go. I FINALLY got the approval to begin the build of the rig. I'll post pics come Saturday of the start. It should be fun.

So after an exhaustive search online, I've decided that most offroad companies suck. I can't find Montero add-ons ANYWHERE! So I've decided to make them myself. For one, I LOVE the way Gobi racks look on Land Rover Disco's, but of course, they don't make them for our beloved Japanese...

Vehicle Specs: 1996 Montero LS 3.0L Stock. So when I go to take it out of 4WD to 2WD ... the stupid lights just sit there and blink at me. FOREVER. It doesn't come out at all. When it does come completely out of 4WD, I get a strange buzzing/grinding noise coming from the front end, and to...

Hey guys ... here's a video to make all Montero owners proud. I was out with the wheeling club and we hit this approx. 1m drop off and instead of going around it, a couple of us went over it. The 4 jeeps that went over this obstacle had lifts and tires. The smallest one being 3.5" and 33"...

Hey everybody (again). I was wondering on how to expedition proof my engine, as in waterproofing and dust/sand proofing the truck. This thought came to mind today when I fried my coil doing a water crossing. It wasn't TERRIBLY deep, but I could've gone slower to avoid said situation. Also...

So there we were, in every expedition driver/off road enthusiast's worst nightmare. Traffic. I was in my 1991 Renix special Jeep XJ, and everybody else was in the tried and true Gen III Monty. 100 degrees weather, on asphalt, with a bunch of other cars, moving about 1 vehicle length every...

Hey all! I FINALLY found a set of forums that support the good old Monty! Holy cow! Anyways, a little about me: I currently landed a 95 Monty LS for a good price, and all it needs is a little love. This is the 5th Monty our family has owned. I blame my Dad for getting us stuck on them...
