Ya, I agree. I haven't noticed customer service or quality slipping and I've been going to Discount Tires for over 15 years now. When my last Yokohamas wore out prematurely because my alignment was off they still hooked me up with a free tire when I bought 3 new ones even though it was my fault...

That's awesome stuff right there, though I don't know how you're managing 2 serious build simultaneously!?

How have you guys gotten this thing to release from the housing, I hear you need to push out a round pin and that it is a bear without a press? What are you guys doing at the junk yard, taking the whole shifter and using a press at home to get the busing out? Thanks

And then a few days later, this happened: This might be the end of the road for the General Li, I'm still trying to decide which one to keep.

So this happened:

When did you get a silver gen3 adam? Did you ditch the Lexus? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fixed, thank you!

Now, this project was a lot harder for me because I was figuring all of this out as I went. I wasted an entire sheet of plywood, had to dissasemble and reassemble the bed several times and tried lots of other things before settling on these steps. So I hope these steps save everyone lots of time...

Step 11. Using 4 large pan head screws and washers, secure the piece of plywood to the 2x4s. I did not do a good job gluing the carpet to the plywood on this piece so it was bubbling a bit at the edges so I added a small screw and washer every 4" down the rear and front sides of this main piece...

Step 8 continued - Test fit. Step 9. Create horizontal braces by screwing the two Simpson ties to the 2x4s and by cutting the 1x3 into 2 pieces. Step 10. Upholster the plywood piece. This was the hardest part for me because I know nothing about upholstery. I experimented with different...

5/22/16 - I just got back from visiting a friend of mine in Flagstaff and visiting the Overland Expo on Saturday. I didn't spot any Montys, the place was overrun with Toyotas! Build Update - I've been working on building a bed in the back of the General Li for the past few weeks because I'm not...

Can you elaborate and let us know where this sensor is located, what it looks like, how to get it off, etc.? I can't find it and everyone seems to have this problem so it would be good to get the sensor fix documented.

I'll be camping that weekend with a buddy near Sedona, testing out an old camper we plan on taking up to Idaho this summer, but will see you guys at the Expo on Saturday!

Thats weird, i heard from several sources that you cannot replace just the upper ball joints because of the way they are pressed in to the control arms. Well, technically you can get some special bushings from Australia to reuse your UCAs but those cost more than replacing the UCAs which come...

Oh there is no comparison. You would need to spend 3-4 times as much to get a WJ or 4runner to be as capable as a stock Gen 2/2.5 SR Montero. Just research the cost of putting 33" tires, a locker, and a spare tire carrier on those vehicles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would definitely replace that coolant pipe when you're in there, the dealer has them. I didnt know they sold just the seals though, thought you had to buy the pipe as well. If you get the parts numbers please post them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The post idea is a great one. A one stop spot for everything to look for when buying any of the 3 gens. Like this one for the WJ: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f310/ultimate-wj-grand-cherokee-buyer-s-guide-1271979/#/forumsite/20623/topics/1271979?page=1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats Jorge, sounds like you found a gem! PS - pretty funny how 33s are considered mild street tires in this forum haha.

I found that a gun lock works well as a spare tire lock. It's hidden underneath the smittybilt spare tire cover so don't worry about the looks.

4/9/16 LED instrument cluster: I saw jlocster's post on how to replace the interior lights with LEDs (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/119160-Mitsubishi-Montero-Dash-Console-and-Interior-LED-Bulb-Replacement-Gen-2-5) and decided to replace the bulbs in my instrument cluster because...
