Got some prices for redoing the heads. They are quoting me between $1,400 to 1,600 and my car stays in the shop for a week. To top it off, I will need to replace my left and right cat in 8 months when I have to smog it. I enjoy this car a lot but it’s starting to become a money pit.

SoCalMonty It would be great if you can ask your friend. The car only smokes when it has been idling for a while. The Montero is a 3.5L V6 SOHC 24V FI Engine.

Does anyone know of a mechanic that will replace the valve seals without rebuilding the head in the Los Angeles or Orange County area. My ride is smoking bad at every stop light and drive through. The diesel truck owners are starting to point at me and laugh. If there are no local mechanics...

Are you talking about the seat releasing at the base to fold it up? I will look for the pictures when I fixed mine.

TJM product numbers for Mitsubishi. Gen 2.5 is a Series NL 1996-99 GLS and Exceed.

It started to make the creaking noise after my off road adventure. It happens at slow speeds when stopping or turning. Its it the torsion bars? Has this happen to any of you and what did you do to fix it. I have tried lubing all my joints but still makes a noise. :confused:

What type did you get? I am looking at a Tuff Pans set for the front of my 99. I am emailing them to see if they will work on Gen 2.5.

Went to Azusa Canyon this weekend. If you have never been there, it's a great place to spend a couple of hours and get home before diner. The place has rocks, hill climbs, water crossing and mud after some rain. Broke my Lambretta hitch cover broke off when it it a rock climbing up a...

A nice day at Azusa Canyon.

Limb risers are easy to make and I can connect them to the rack when not in use. Will use stainless hardware so it will not rust. I will be ordering the KYB shocks soon.

Close up picture of holder made from hardware store. Hi Lift carrier. The rubber mount can be removed so jack can be mounted in an upward direction. Shovel and Axe carrier. Easy to make with 6" steel angle, fence post attachment and bolts. I will probably use the axe for camping only...

Pick up a Stainless ladder at the junk yard for cheap. Just need to modify it to fit the door. I also finished making my shovel and axe holder for my rack. The things you can make at your local hardware store without welding. I am planning on testing my ride this weekend at Asuza Canyon. I...

Need to buy it overseas. Ebay has them. I was thinking of buying some myself. http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-00-MITSUBISHI-MONTERO-SHOGUN-PAJERO-NL-V55-CORNER-LIGHTS-LIGHT-LAMP-/260920734816?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3cc0167460#ht_2255wt_1396

I have looked at the KYB shocks. This is why I joined the forum, to get peoples personal experiences. Thanks

It's a Surco 50x84 aluminum rack. It is light weight but can hold 400 plus pounds and easy to take off. I added extra supports from the local hardware store, the parts just need to be painted. Camping equipment for 2 families fit on my ride last weekend.

Stock height but will be replacing shocks with Rancho 5000, stock ones are failing. Did not want to mess with the bars because I had it aligned before the new tires.

Just bought this Montero January 2012 and I am now hooked on getting it dirt worthy. I had one in the past and have always wanted another one. It is still my daily driver so I need to go mild for a while til I get another car. I am hoping to get some dirt time soon. I live in Long Beach Ca...
