    Power window question

    Is it possible to buy the window linkage assembly without the motor? Anybody know the part number? I've searched and it seems everything I find comes with the motor. Since my motor is fine I was hoping to just replace the rest of the assembly or even just the cables. Picture below of what I'm...

    My 1996 SR - build thread

    Last night I finally found the replacement for my previous Monty that I wrecked two months ago. Drove a few hours to Branson, MO and picked up a 1996 SR with 134k miles. It's got some things to take care of like any 20 year old truck but I think it will be a solid platform for wheeling and...

    3rd Gen Montero on Top Gear US

    I'm not a big fan of the US version of Top Gear, but their latest episode featured a 2002 Montero Limited. In the episode someone says it's on 35s but there's a shot of the tires where, if you pause it, you can see they are 285/75r16. "It's like a Land Rover except reliable and has a slightly...

    Skinny tires on a Gen 3?

    ExPo has convinced me on the merits of a skinny tire, but does anyone have experience with them on a Gen 3? I know there are at least a few with skinnies on Gen 2s. I'm thinking about getting Cooper AT3 in a 235/85/16. I'm not sure 255's would fit without a lift and anyway there are only 3 or...

    Tire decision help

    It is high time to get new treads for my Montero. Currently running the stock 265/70/16. I've been convinced by ExPo forums on the advantages of the skinny tire. However, 255/85/16 only comes in a few choices now, none that seem right for me. So I'm looking at 235/85/16, lots more choices...

    Monty died, won't start.

    My daughter was driving my Montero to work the other night, when it died on her. She was immediately able to start it again, but it happened 2 more times. When I got to her work to look at it, I got it started and it ran for about a minute when it shut off, and now refuses to start again. Turns...

    3.5 Cruising RPM

    Hey guys (and gals, don't wanna discriminate), quick question hopefully. What kinda revs should I be expecting when cruising my stock 2001 XLS at 65 MPH down the highway? Does 3000 rpm sound right? I searched all over but couldn't find this discussed elsewhere. Thanks!

    Newbie: What to do first?

    Hi there, first time Montero owner here! I just bought a 2001 XLS with 186k on the odometer for $2750. All told, it is in excellent shape for the miles. Only problems I have found are some cigarette burns in the seats, a slightly sagging headliner (not just the cloth, the whole "board" for...
