Ya, the actuators aren't cheap: https://www.mitsubishipartswarehouse.com/oem-parts/mitsubishi-actuator-assembly-mr319946

10/14/18: Testing Day 3 - Loaded up the wives and kids and my buddy and I drove out to the Tortilla Trail. There are some good rock steps at the very beginning of the trail that I wanted to see how this rig would do on and it did it without breaking a sweat. My buddy has a 2001 LR Disco II and...

Very good question. The consensus is to always use OEM on the Gen2 (paying to have it roded rather than buying aftermarket) but I have no idea if that applies to Gen3s as well. Following.

Yep, at least one of the cables have snapped inside. You might still be able to get the cables from the dealer, check ASA for the part numbers. And if this ever happens again, check out my build thread for pics and details on how to easily unlock them so they can be flipped up to tumble forward...

The tie rods are just repackaged Senkei 555 units which are allegedly the 2nd best option after Genuine Mitsu for suspension stuff. Good find!

I agree the Falken ATW3 is an amazing tire at an unbelievable price - probably the best value out there IMO. The only thing it lacks when compared to the KO2 I think is it has a slightly less durable sidewall but it has lots of features the KO2 lacks which I think more than make up for it. If I...

So, how's it drive now? My 98's steering is also pretty sloppy.

This is scientifically impossible. :p

FYI, here is what I've read: "Mexican plated cars are allowed into the USA for up to 1 year. It is easy to get the minimum required liability insurance coverage, but can be challenging to find insurance coverage to pay for collision damages to your car."

Nah, there's no money in LRs - Disco Is and IIs go for Montero prices. The real money is in flipping Toyotas - "300,000 miles, runs good, $8K cash only " hahaha

True, the super cheap Monteros are getting hard to find but the Montero is still the best value in 4x4ing IMO. The closest thing in terms of price is probably the LR Disco II or Jeep GC WJ.

OMG! How many miles are on your engine and was all the maintenance up to date? Let us know what you find out if you get it diagnosed.

I went through the same struggle trying to find tires for my Gen 3 and I specifically did NOT want Load E. I wanted something lighter (unsprung weight is a big deal) and with more flex when aired down, and that doesn't ride as hard. 33" Load C BFG KO2s are good for up to around 12,000lbs so...

I'm not sure if I have any exhaust leaks so this week I'm going to start by having a smoke test done to find out if there are any vac or exhaust leaks. If the truck passes that, I'll replace the O2 sensor next.

Yes, the hood is on the back burner for sure. Your paint job still looks good except for where the washer fluid sprayers are, around there the paint has oxidized / faded / turned white a lot. I haven't fooled with it yet but will post a pic up here soon for suggestions on how to fix it. Thank...

Good point, I didn't think of that. So if it was a vac leak i'd probably be getting more than one O2 code?

10/13/18 contd: 1. I also investigated the check engine light - trying to see if I could find a vacuum leak. With the engine idling, I sprayed MAF cleaner all around (cuz I just happened to have a nearly full can and it's not usable on Monteros anyway) but couldn't find anywhere that spraying...

10/13/18: Actually, it turns out that I came across a 2001 Limited in the junkyard a few months ago and decided to take its driver's seat. It wasn't a slam dunk decision because of 2 things: 1. The back was dried out, ripped, and in much worse shape than my existing seat. 2. The Beige color in...

10/9/18: The shop took forever to do the bushings. He kept stringing me along saying "they'll be done today", then I wouldn't hear from him, then the next day "Sorry, I'll get to them today." This went on for 12 days before he finally attempted it, realized it was no picnic and decided to take...

10/7/18: Front Suspension Update - One of the things that was apparent this vehicle needed during my test drive was an alignment since the steering wheel was about 20 degrees off center. So I took it in for an alignment but the shop said there was no point in aligning it because the front...
