There are only two Monteros that I know of with a Detroit. Lloyd on 4x4wire used one in a 90 Montero 2-door, drove that truck to death and sold it for bookoo $$ to a dude in Phoenix who doesn't drive it. Second, Brian (bs on the Wire) has one in his 89 4-door, but doesn't post anywhere very often.
All the other trucks on this run pulled a sky wheel here, his didn't.

WTH kind of question is that? Oh what the hell I'll answer it anyway. It's just sheet metal, just dumb sheet metal, nothing more and nothing less.

Looking for that thing i just had in my hand...
Well I have Lloyds front detroit, he put an ARB in his old truck a few years before selling the truck to the guy who doesn't drive it. I must say the detroit is awesome. It is predictable when it engages and disengages, and it's quiet unlike other auto lockers. I still have a good turning circle like stock but i can't give it gas while trying to maneuver or it will lock and make it hard to steer until it gets out of the bind.

Does the sheet metal change in the Montero from the 98-99 model years do anything or is it just for looks?

I didn't know there was a sheet metal change from 98-99. I am aware of the 97-98 change...

Now wouldn't it have been simpler to say "the change was from 97-98 model years" instead of that? Well maybe it's not as fun I guess.:smiley_drive:
Didn't someone talk about trying the Aussie Lokka which was supposed to become available for the Pajero on the 'wire?

Found it...
Thread posted by the manufacturer... http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showf...42&Words=lokka&topic=&Search=true#Post1175006 where one of the members (FrankR) purchased one to install. Not sure if he ever did it but then again I didn't check his build thread to verify if he had yet.

I wouldn't consider a front locker unless you plan to play in areas that a non-locked rig won't work well such as the harder rock crawling trails (4 & 5 on a scale of 1-5 with one being the easiest trails). Otherwise the upgrade will be nothing more than bling since it will likely NEVER be used. Instead of asking a bazillion questions here you really should meet some of the local AZ Crew (what we call them on 4x4wire) and ask your questions to that group. They are very knowledgable especially when it comes to building the more extreme capable trail rigs.

All the pieces were there, and a part of the AZ Crew responded to the hail. Isn't the Net awesome sometimes?!!
