Sometimes I look through the other vehicle sections of the forum. I see some pretty amazing projects going on. Every so often, however, I stop to consider what it is that folks are doing and why they are doing it. Frequently, not always, they are attempting to add a component to their truck that is standard fair in the Montero world. I'm speaking mainly for a gen 2.5 at the moment. Say, for example: 33" tires (we can fit those easy), more fuel capacity (we have 24 gallons standard), bumper/tailgate mounted spare (Montero has standard), rear locker (standard on many AND we have locked/open center diff too!!), better fuel economy (note all the diesel swaps that net mileage figures on par with Gen 2 monty, high teens to 20mpg on highway)...and diesel fuel costs more too. These are very livable and capable trucks.
I could go on but the thing that drove me to a Montero, and what I continue to love, is the how capable the truck can be in stock form. Sure, many improvements can be made and there are many awesome builds here too...but a person doesn't really even need to build a Montero much, just drive, maintain and have loads of fun.
Anyway, lots of cool rigs available and I respect many...this is just one thing that is awesome about Monteros :Wow1:
Feel free to add what you really like.
