Guys, I am going to be due for a set of tires shortly. I am curious what you are using. My Gen 3 is all stock, but I'd love to put the biggest, nastiest option I can. TIA for any advice!

Okay, my Gen 3 has an odd starting problem and before I tear into it or start lobbing parts at the problem, I wanted to see if anyone here had this issue or something like it. Often, when I start the engine, it takes 2-3 twists of the key from "acc" position to "start" position, before the...

Just a quick thread, thought it might be useful to some folks... I've been looking around at seat covers for a while. My Monty's front seats are pretty beat and I mainly use it as my property maintenance truck for our rental properties (when I am not camping or off-roading). I'm always getting...

Okay, I think I have some insights into what this problem is, but I was curious if anyone else has experienced something similar. Has anyone experienced this? My Gen 3 has started occasionally having a noise that is audible when you decelerate at low speeds, then a clunk when you are almost...

So, I thought you guys might enjoy a look at this. During Matthew a tree fell on my house and my Monty. I love the old girl, but she's got 180,000+ and a lot of bruises and contusions. Of course, she still runs great. I was able to pull out of most of the dents and bondo what I could not pull...

Anyone know if or how I can disconnect the tire pressure monitoring system? I have a dead sensor someplace, and will eventually get around to fixing it. In the meantime, that damn flashing light is driving me crazy. Can I disconnect?

Okay, so I have the running boards. Ordinarily, I'd have pulled them off when I got the SUV, but I have little ones (5 and 3), and they actually use them all the time. They are also at that stage where they want to do everything themselves. I encourage them to do anything they can, and pulling...

Okay, whilst getting my t-belt done, I had my mechanic check my brakes. He confirmed my suspicions. New rotors, and pads are needed all around. I am thinking of doing a Callahan front and rear brake kit from Amazon and installing myself. Do any of you more mechanically learn-ed and experienced...

Thinking of doing my brakes while getting some other maintenance on my Gen 3. Anyone rec a kit? There appears to be some well-priced kits on Amazon for the Monty. Callahan and Power Stop seem to be popular options. Does anyone have experience with either? TIA for any info.

Can anyone advise the timing belt interval on a Gen3? Mine didn't come with a manual, and I think I am probably due. I just don't want to be over-due. TIA.

Howdy all, Just noticed a very mild, but noticeable knock in my front end. Seems to be coming from my driver's side front wheel well (but I am not totally sure). Cannot tell if it is effected by steering. Seems to be when the weight rolls front the front to the back. Any more learned folks...

All, my Gen 3.5 rear door is, in a word, busted. Netting is stretched, plastic bits are missing, anchors long disappeared. I want to do something to clean it up and make it useful again. I have some cools hots of folks who added pelican boxes, first aid kits, other tools etc. to their doors. I...

I am trying to track down a strange engine issue and I wonder if any of you other Montero owners might have experienced the same or a similar problem. Recently, my Monty developed a belt squeak. It's an '04 with 145K, so I figured that it was just an old belt. I had the belt replaced at our...

I know, I am an idiot for doing this, but I usually take my truck to one or the other of the cheap oil change spots around the corner from my house. Yes, I pay more, but it is easy and fast. I have always been warned not to go, and have never had any problems until now. This weekend I dropped...

Hi, I am going to look at a used DR 650 soon. Just wondering if there was anything in particular to look for. Seems a lot of folks here have them. Anything in particular to look for? It has pretty low mileage. Thatnks for any info.

Okay, I have been meaning to start a thread about this for a while, but it is getting close to travel season in NC (it has been too damn hot to do anything besides lay around in the AC so far this summer) and I need my back seats back in action. SO, i have read about every thread possible about...

So, I was kind of shopping for a third car for hauling the family around, and it has been a couple of years since I sold my Rover Classic. I was feeling kind of naked without a truck of some sort, and had been looking at Surburbans, Yukons, etc. While looking, I ran across an 2004 Montero...

Howdy all... LONG time lurker, first time poster. I have enjoyed this site for years, but having not owned a truck/UTE to expedition in, I have never posted. Many an hour has been squandered here vicariously living through others travels and builds. Alas, the time has come to take the plunge...
