Is that an aluminum roof rack with plastic gutter mounts? I haven't seen one like that before. Nice looking rig.
Thanks!

Correct. Rhino Rack Pioneer platform is 99% aluminum with gutter mounts that are some type of abs / poly / plastic compound. Rhino Rack is super proud of their products and typically do not shy away from quality, their price reflects ?.

Nice, I have an old Con-ferr rack on mine, but I'm trying to find a design I like to copy and make my own full length rack. That rhino rack design is pretty slick. I have seen some complaints about different load ratings for those racks though, as far as on road rating being different than offroad, sometimes about half the stated limit. If you have any concerns about overloading it, Ronny Dahl and Tyler Thompson have some good videos about it on youtube, I think their racks were bolt through and not gutter mount though, just a heads up.

Bolted on some Hella Valuefit LEDs on a freshly painted center bumper. Rustoleum Matte Gunmetal Metallic is color I used. Bumper had some rust spots so sanded and primed. Hellas not wired yet as I'm waiting on getting one more fog light on each side of the big ones and doing it all at once. That's why they are so close together.

So this weekend my friend and I put a load of stuff on my 05 Montero.

New upper control arms (w/ new ball joints) front and rear
New sway bar links
OME Struts & Springs

I also got new lower control arms front and rear and new tie rods, but the camber bolts are seized so we are going to have to cut them out. Just gotta buy new bolts before we do that.

So far I'm digging the lift and everything feels much better than before.

The Gen 1 got some OME / ARB 2910 Coils in the rear yesterday. OEM coils were tired. Augmented with some Tokico Trekmaster R/T shocks. Nice improvement. Front shocks later this week. Only so much time in the day.
