What type of lube did you use on the gears, saint?

Incredible man! Can't wait to see the finished product.

eengler2- I used my fingernails and a plastic trim removal tool to scrape the foam tape off...it took awhile. Then I wiped it down with Meguiar's Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner. I left the rest of the wood trim on because it's in better shape. offroader- Hmmm, hadn't thought about that...I'll...

...continued from post #1 Remove 6 screws attaching clear plastic lens. Tilt compass forward. Both bulbs will be visible at the rear of the gauge. Turn bulb counterclockwise with a slotted screwdriver and remove. I had to use a small hooked pick to fish the bulb out. Installation is the...

Just wanted to add to the knowledge base. If your compass backlighting goes dark... ...you will need 2 of these. You can buy them from the dealer. Pry off both plastic screw caps on either side of the gauge cluster hood and unscrew both screws. Remove gauge cluster hood. Remove 4...

Party Lights I decided to switch to red LED lighting in the passenger compartment. I bought 5 of these festoon lights online. One for the rear dome, 2 for the front dome and 2 for the map lights. I'm still trying to decide if I should get two more for the front door step lights. Although the...

Looks awesome Kirk! You have incredible fabrication skills.

Thanks for being the voice of reason Eurosonic.

Paint Issues I'm trying to decide what to do about paint. Maybe I shouldn't care but I do (that's my vanity speaking). As I mentioned before I have clearcoat issues so I went by a couple of body shops to ask about refinishing the hood, roof, and 2 quarter panels all of which have peeling clear...

The bulb on my compass burnt out. So I picked up a replacement at the dealer (Part# MR283314). It looks like this. **Note: The compass uses 2 of these bulbs.** Info on replacement here.

Just wanted to add to the knowledge base. I found these hubs on a Gen 1 short wheelbase Montero in the junkyard, cleaned them up and they fit perfectly on my Gen 2.5. This paint closely matched the original gray color (Dark Machine Gray 7587). Very lighted coated the internals with this...

...continued from post #1 Other issues are a non-functioning fuel gauge, a drivers door lock switch that doesn't unlock, and a wiring harness that some pesky mouse chewed to high heaven in a few places and will not be fun to fix. Did I get a smokin deal? Hmm, I dont feel like I did, but I...

Thanks all. Blighty...I've been real satisfied with the Montero purchase so far. I'd say if you're on the fence, and you're looking for a full size SUV, there aren't many downsides to the Gen 2/2.5. It's a lot of vehicle for the money. I found a lot of answers to maintenance questions on...

vgreen, I just put KYB Gas a Justs on my Gen 2.5 with stock suspension two weeks ago. Like grandpa, I bought them from rockauto.com for $30-35 each. My old shocks were totally gone, and the suspension crashed sloppily over the speed bumps that line my street. I don't know if they were...

Thx, Eurosonic, real nice of you to offer. Does your extra locker have 4.27s? I'm in Los angeles, BTW. Uh oh, you found me out off-roader, I really bought a pink Miata :o. Wait, can I get a snorkel for that? Haha, I'll provide evidence this weekend. --Josh

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself and share my story. I recently purchased a Gen 2.5 Endeavor back in the beginning of January after exhaustive research on this site, 4x4wire, ih8mud, etc. Just wanted to thank everyone publicly, especially offroader, eurosonic, grasscat, laoutback, kirk...
