2005 Gen 3 Montero (Pajero) Overland Build
Hello all. I recently bought a 2005 Mitsubishi Montero Limited with 134k miles for an overland build. Hoping to document the process here. It is currently completely stock. I did some light to moderate trails on the way home from buying it. Even in stock form, it was pretty impressive. I was by...

Close, rockhouse canyon. It gets super rocky towards the end. I didn't quite make it all the way because I was solo. I'd like to give it another shot sometime. I hiked to the rockhouse tho, awesome hike but lots of signs of mountain lions

Back in a Montero finally after about 4 years. Had a 2003 Anniversary I bought with 130k miles back in 2015 then sold it years later in HI at 245k.
Found this GEM 💎 of a 2005 and convinced the wife I NEEDED WE NEEDED it. 99k miles one owner clean car fax. Just had the VCG, timing belt and water pump done, 4WD solenoids replaced, fluids changed oil, diff and transfer case, new tires and break booster. Love the color, No RUST. Can’t wait to get some miles and adventures with her!!!
A few thing I’ll do right away, window tint for NC sun, window rain guards, new tire cover, new Mitsubishi logo badge trunk all weather floor mats and cargo mat and prob upgrade the headlight bulbs to an OSRAM high watt bulb or go LED headlight bulbs. I used in my last Montero and made a massive difference.
Maybe upgrade the head unit to something with car play but not sure yet as I’d like a retractable screen when the car is off

I kinda hacked the front bumper , messed it up ...well it was cracked already anyways from the previous owner.... Does anyone have an extra front bumper around?

Picked up a 1989 SWB recently. I love the simplicity of it. Manual everything and the not-so-anemic 3.0 SOHC actually gets around pretty well.
Performed some well deserved maintenance. Every single seal was hardened and leaking oil, also knocked out the water pump and timing belt while I was in there.
For the time being I've been commuting with it to make sure I can find and sort all the issues before any big trips. The plan is to camp out of it and use it to tow around my dirtbike to the trails. I might need to install some stronger springs though, it's got a good squat to it.

Hi everyone,
My name is Kamal, and I’m from Saudi Arabia. I’m thrilled to join the Expedition Portal community and connect with fellow overlanding and off-road enthusiasts! I’ve been following the forum for a while and have always been inspired by the incredible builds, adventures, and knowledge shared here.
I’m the proud owner of a 1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Wide Body, which has been my trusted companion on many desert adventures and off-road trips. I’ve attached a few pictures of my Pajero below—I hope you like it! I’m looking forward to learning from all of you, sharing my experiences, and maybe even planning some epic expeditions together in the future.
Feel free to say hello or share any tips or advice for a new member like me. I’m excited to be part of this amazing community!

Awesome find! I actively searched for over two years and did not find one this clean. Congrats on convincing the wife. How did you do that anyway? Lol.
