Just saw this, was recently thinking about my dad's Montero Sports from a few years ago... Loved those trucks. Here's to hoping you can get a factory rear diff lock! This is the first new SUV besides the LR4 that I wouldn't mind getting into.

Really? My dad had a 98.5 (I think) off road pack... 32s, rear locker, tire carrier, 5 spd. I loved that truck. If I was a little older when he traded it in I would have taken it. 90k miles without a single issue.

Source for the confirmation of a US-bound Montero? I love the Challenger/Montero Sport... Idk why they stopped bringing those here.

Yup. I know it can be done, but at what cost to all of the stock electronics? You'd lose quite a bit of functionality I imagine.

Someone has one in a LR3

With the right amount of money, anything can be done. You can swap in a LSx motor or pay ~$5-6 grand for a Cannibal V8 motor.

Damn. This is fantastic.

Must be the Landy blood taking over that Chevy heart. Ha. Those 4.3s are usually pretty trouble-free. It's a nice looking rig though, and probably pretty rust free, so it's worth it. They only imported something like 55,000 Discos from 94-99; Jeep sells around that many Wranglers in four months...

Been seeing some of these pics pop up on instagram. That truck did seem a bit too good to be true, but it looks like it just needs some little things here and there (besides the trans...) Good luck with it. As always, super jealous of your guys in the SW. I'll be back there... one day. If gas...

All the control arms are fully boxed now... And the stock brackets bend before the stock arms do... most of the time.

I blew a hole in my load range E AT3s after 2k miles, but I probably would have blown anything there for a Toyo MT or something as beefcake as that. ~12 PSI pinched the sidewall between the rim and a rock going faster than I should have been. Still love the tires anyway.

The VM 2.8 is praised pretty highly on the internets of euro-spec Jeeps. Everyone says its the "best/most well built part" of the Jeeps. If Jeep did build this one, it would be a $50k truck, no doubt. That premium is what is keeping me from the brand. Personally, I'm waiting for the new Grand...

*raises hand*

One year and 15K miles of ownership on mine, about 131,5xx on it. All my Jeep buddies flipped when I bought mine (switched to the Disco after my 2nd XJ), and I'm looking forward to continuing to making them eat crow when I'm still DDing it years from now. Mine was a one-owner, LR dealer...

My head is in a pretzel. And I am super impressed with my Discoverer AT3s. They don't look weird or cool though.

Whatever tire size is in that picture looks perfect to me. I think 245/75 would be too small with a lift... It looks perfect on a stock height truck.

I love my CO2. Using an old 35lb fountain soda aluminum bottle. Costs me $30 to fill locally (and it costs a little extra to get certified and tested every couple years). I got 1.5 seasons out of it on 35s, now on 31s in my Disco it is going to last a long time between fills. I'm on the beach a...

the 4L60 doesn't fit. The front driveshaft would hit the transmission pan.

Yup. With a full tank of gas and loaded down for a wheeling trip I was close to 5100 lbs. Thats a lot for the 4.0 even with the 5.13 gears. I've taken my Disco wheeling and it's a blast doing it with a stocker on easy trails, and a lot less stress. No more trying a line, being bored, and then...
