I live in Fresno, I would love to go up and wheel a little bit with you guys, but I'm poor at the moment, and I know my rig is not built enough to do Dusy. Still it would be cool to meet up with some Montero dudes for a change.

In addition to timing belt, and valve stem seals, you will probably have to replace ball joints and pitman/idler arms. Also factor in a brake rebuild as well. My '90 brake master cylinder went out when I hit around 215,000 miles. I had previously re-done the discs and pads up front and had...

My '90 LWB can roll at 75 mph all day with little wind on flat ground. I can push it to almost 80 but I usually cruise at 70 mph GPS verified (75 needle indicated). All front suspension/steering components have been replaced, I have very little wander on my 235/75/15 BFG AT tires. Going up...

If you want 3rd row seats in Gen 1 I believe you would have to source them from Asia, I have only seen retrofit 3rd row seats in USA. The Gen 1 RS I don't think comes standard with a rear LSD, the way to tell is by a sticker on driver door and on diff itself. I also think all Gen 1 with bouncy...

Just wanted to update you and yeah, it was coming from the timing belt cover. The shop where I normally go is taking care of it as part of their "warranty" on work, which is great, cause I didn't want to fork out major dough again. They even said if the belt has oil on it they will be...

I didn't see where it was coming from, I just guessed that it was coming from there since the outside was damp and I don't see any higher position the oil could be coming from. It's really strange that I only saw it once and driving it this morning didn't produce any leaking at all under hood...

I just noticed a similar problem on my 3.0. I just had the timing belt, water pump, crankshaft sprocket, AC tensioner, PS tentioner and pulleys replaced at the shop. I change the oil myself the next day (Saturday). It drives fine for 3 days, and then as I park in garage Tuesday night, I see a...

1991 LWB Mitsubishi Montero 4x4 - $2000 (Fresno) http://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/4754216881.html I'm thinking about picking this up just for tires and a parts truck... Am I crazy? I was planning on jumping up to 33s in the next 6 months, which would be about 800-1000 anyways. Also...

If the ticking gets louder and seems to be in line with RPMs then yeah it must be the hydraulic lash adjusters. I went too long in between oil changes (even changing at 2,000-3,000 mi intervals) and have had it come and go a few times. It can be an indication of oil quality as well as oil...

The way it sits now... umm no haha. I don't even got 33s yet. Waiting for my 29.5s to run down. But yeah that's a sweet video. I could probably do about 85~90 percent of that, the really loose mud was pretty gnarly and same with the rock section. Also that narrow corridor part looked fun, I...

Seems pretty solid. I bought my '90 RS for ~3300 and had to do brakes/tires/AC charge/etc etc all myself. Definitely better than buying a beater/rough one for 1000 and having transmission or engine bomb you in a month. Oh and I'm not sure where you are located but I'm in Cali so I had to be...

I've been running Skyjacker Nitro shocks in my rig for ~10,000 miles. A lot of those miles have been offroad, I go wheeling quite often. These things are really beefy and for the price they are probably the best I would say. The Nitros I have are very stiff, possibly too stiff, but I'm happy...

Let me answer your questions better instead of just giving my opinion... The Gen 1 actually can fit 33s easily, torque up torsion bars in front, if rear is sagging like it was in my '90 LWB then just pick up some OME (old man emu) rear coil springs (~$193.39 from Rocky Road Outfitters, these...

I purchased a Gen 1 about 19 months ago, love it. Been very reliable so far, but you will run into problems that need fixing just like any other 25+ year old vehicle. That said, normal vehicle upkeep aside, the thing is build like a rock and takes a pounding from me at least once a month. I...

Nice pics eurosonic. Dang those 35s look huge on your truck. Great rig... love seeing your updates and how the build keeps improving.

I picked up my Gen 1 when it had 204k miles. I'm at 226k now. It sounds like a lot of miles, but for Montero's it still is young. I've heard stories of these going well into the 400k range. For $450 that's a steal.

If you are interested in going early thanksgiving morning, maybe I'll convince my bro to go there instead of La Grange... I've never been to frank raines, I thought it was hella small and mostly for motoX but after watching youtube videos it looks pretty big.

If anyone is interested, me and my brother are going to tear up La Grange OHV early early on Thanksgiving day. If you have never been there, it's about 45 minutes east of Modesto. It's a lot of fun there, especially after rain. We plan to get there about 7 am. I know it's early but it's...

Totally Awesome Commercial! I feel like no US car commercial is like this anymore. They all have to spit out endless facts and have some talking yope ruin a demonstration of driving/features. This commercial tells a story and gets the idea across, without a bombarding voice-over. Love it...

I think just to be more reliable. I had stock auto hubs on my ride while wheeling (not hard) and when I tried to shift to 2-hi, the hubs stuck engaged and made a rubbing sound the whole way home. That was kinda the last straw for me. If manual hubs fail, they fail in so as the hub is "free"...
