    cargo area Mires, Thats how i folded the seats but i still have the ridge there. Its a little strange to me because i test drove an 03 that had some sort of false floor storage system and the cargo area was completely flat. And i found a 97 2wd montero sport rally edition that had the same...

    No go So the parts yard finally got me pictures of the third, and it clearly wasn't a locker, but a limited slip instead. It seems as though most yards are using the words locking/locker and limited slip interchangably I can still probably get 94 SR axle for 350, then just swap my 4.90 gears...

    Hybrid locker When i ordered the locker i asked three times to make sure it was froma 3.5 V6 and was a factory locker. I just hope the guy on the other end of the phone line was as confident as he said he was. I knew about the different size thirds 8inch? vs 9.5, again, i hope he was right...

    Justice, Supposedly the locker i ordered was from a montero sport, listed as a 2000. And many yards had lockers for sports up to year 2004. Where did you learn that lockers were discontinued in the sports in 99? The dealer had listings for locking thirds for my 2001, for....get...

    outerlimits copied and pasted from outerlimits 4x4 Ado, The compressor is under the rear drivers side seat , in the compartment, its held in place with 3 small bolts. Its easy to get out but a bugger to put back in. Make sure they test it before you buy it. Otherwise I gues you could use a...

    Pump Justice, Good point, seems like a factory pump would be my end all solution. Now i just have to find one that works like it should, i remember reading that they are under the rear seats right? Interesting tid-bit on the axle shaft length, i called san rafael mitsubishi who was quite...

    3rd member, locker Justice, The plan was never to swap entire axle housing assemblies, i should have clarified that in my original post, sorry. I simply wanted the locking third member, so thats what i ended up ordering. I figured that there would be difference in shaft length as well, do...

    car-part Funny you should mention car-part.com! After my last post i began browsing around on their site and after looking around a little bit i found a locking 3rd member with factory 4.90 gears for 350 shipped, with a 6 month warranty. Its from a 2000 Sport, which i believe should be the...

    Locker Off-roader, I dont yet have to tools or know-how to set up gears, so im thinking i would have to purchase the locking third (4.63 gears) and pay a shop to swap my 4.90 gears onto it. It would be nice if the ring gear was the only difference, and the pinion had the same tooth count 4.63...
