    SONICMASD's 98 Montero LS Build & Adventure Thread: Black Betty

    2/24/17: I ordered this snorkel on ebay from Malaysia and it arrived in just 4 days! Allegedly, the supplier says they are using the TJM mold. Quality looks to be very good on initial inspection. The main downside is that they do not include a template. So I decided not to mess with it myself...

    Very cool, mounting spot and write up. But where do you jack from? I didn't see sliders on your rig, do you have some kind of hitch in the rear that accommodates the hi lift?

    SONICMASD's 98 Montero LS Build & Adventure Thread: Black Betty

    3/12/17: I just got back from an awesome trip to SE Utah. The Montero did awesome, the only problem was a CEL came on and I had it checked out: P0400 (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction). I had it cleared but then it came on again the next day. I'm thinking it was just the extreme change...

    Dirty fuel filter (pictures)

    Hilarious, I literally did the exact same thing a 5 months ago! Got my new monty, fuel filter looked original, was impossible to take off cuz the bolt wouldn't budge, so i took it to a shop and had them do it and i told them to save it for me. I cut it open with a hack saw and it looked just...

    The shifter can be made good with a new red ball from the Mitsu dealer so it may not be totally useless to someone. As for the fuel sender, can you provide some instructions on this? I think I might need to do it one day.

    Damn, nice pic! Did you make it through? That wash can get really soupy.

    SONICMASD's 98 Montero LS Build & Adventure Thread: Black Betty

    Just wanted to let you know that I did end up trying this option but didn't like it. The long arm comes up and is kind of in the way of the 4x4 shifter. It wasn't too bad when mounted to the passenger seat but seeing as I already have a RAM Mount Cup Holder intruding a bit into the passenger's...

    2/19/17: Nothing much to report here, just that my wife got me all of the AZ National Forest Maps for Valentine's Day which was an awesome and unexpected gift! And then today, I restored the center trim molding on the rear windows and top valance above the windshield. (i already owned Kaibab)...

    Gen 2 & 2.5 owners..what your milage and long term ownership reviews.

    I've owned my 98 for 8 months. It had 200k when I bought it and I'm at 205 now. Previous Owner did belts, seals, and a tune up at 160k and I'm planning on doing the timing belt job early in about 2 months from now. The only issue with the truck right now is that the radiator has a tiny leak so...

    New Incinometer 2/6/17: I found an alternative to the factory inclinometer and got it set up today. First things first, you'll need two of these: One will measure pitch and the other will measure roll so you'll need to install one on each axis of the vehicle. For pitch, I found the easiest...

    1/28/17: My buddy was having a bday camping trip up to Parker, AZ with the main attraction being that we would spend Saturday enjoying the infamous desert bar. But due to a family emergency, he decided to make the trip shorter and closer so we all went to Sycamore Creek for 1 night instead. This...

    Thank you! Glad to see you enjoying your new Monty. Ya, the water cutting out my engine was a total fluke and not something experienced by other Monty owners. Heck, Eurosonic is fording raging rivers in his rig and hasn't had that problem. My guess is that: 1. this is just a particular...

    Good stuff, this crossed my mind but I can't imagine that long arm not getting in the way. I have access to any RAM part # for free through my work so I'll give their chair mount a try and report back.
