Just keep using it. I did some maintenance and repair to my 05 when I first bought it. Just needed a new actuator on the free-wheel clutch. I just got back from a trip with some Jeeps who kept saying I might have trouble on the trail, but it made everything look easy while the Jeeps struggled...
Mine started doing the same thing before it quit completely. It is just under the lower glove compartment. I purchased a replacement, but checked the original before it arrived by putting 12V across the terminals. It started running again with the noise, but the noise eventually went away...
Some of the rear diffs could have the smaller circlip on the rear axle flanges. I believe it is usually the left one that leaks. I have not experienced it though. Mitsubishi made a parts kit to replace them. Some would eventually slide out just enough for a leak from the seal.
The hoses on...
The dealers may not be able to get them, but the original suppliers may still have stock left or they were common to another vehicle. Try this website guys. It seems to still have older parts in stock. I always order from here since the dealerships aren't always helpful. All parts come in...
+1 to what Vanroth said ^^^^^^
After owning both XLS and Limited models, the Limited is a much nicer truck for the price.
Also a video on the Limited's TSC offroad ability. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WPsT4p1lE8
I know the XLS and 4 speed stopped in 02. 03 was the start of the engine update and 05 got a refresher update. The differential housing for any Gen3 Montero 01-06 are the same, therefore XLS differentials can be swapped into Limited/03-06 models. All mounting points are the same. There are...
Other questions: will the 3.8L fit in a 3.5l engine bay? i.e. fittings, motor mounts and their locations, any other part differences. Are computers compatible or required for a engine swap?
The 3.8L and 3.5L are not swappable without a lot of money spent. 3.8L has drive-by-wire throttle...
Just curious. Are these completely bolt-on? The website said they required some modification to the vehicle. How extensive were the modifications (if any)?
1) That space is on all of them. Both my 01 and my current 05 has it. I think it is designed room for RHD in other markets where they move everything (ABS, brake/clutch cylinders, etc.) to that side.
2) The only thing I can think of is the factory fog light in the bumper. Otherwise it might...
The only fitted liner I ever found was for the rear cargo area.

The second skid plate is always plastic and is nearly flat. The plastic ones tend to get torn off easily by road debris. It can honestly be replaced with some sheet metal or lexan from the hardware store and will be just as strong. Drill 2 holes for the rear bolt positions and make slots for...
Hello Wesson,
I have owned both versions of the Gen3. The first was an '01 XLS my current is an '05 (Limited). I normally ride with my Uncle and Grandfather who both use TJ and JK Wranglers. The Montero never had any issues keeping up with either Jeep on the trails and my only issue was...
