    Drove the manual gen 2.5 today

    I'm surprised you needed to raise the body this much from the frame and shift the engine back. Which transmission did you use? A V5MT1? My "old" '92 has one and there is no body lift from the factory. In other parts of the world, the Gen 2.5 had these transmissions from the factory as well...

    Who can make the rear bumper I need

    Say what? it is aftermarket. Don't be fooled that anybody makes an FMVSS conformed aftermarket winch bumper. Simple economics - yes. There are not many Monteros in the USA. When they were imported, roughly 10% of the sales of Jeeps.

    Who can make the rear bumper I need

    It's not for a Sport. Does your 94 have an airbag? Order it here http://www.4wheelparts.com/Bull-Bar-Winch-Mount-Bumper.aspx?t_pn=ARB3434020#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_pDetail_productSpecs

    33" tires rubbing - Gen 2.5 montero

    Look at setting your ride height. Most likely your front torsion bars have sagged over the years - normal. You can either do it yourself or take it to a REAL alignment shop. (not like a Walmart or even Goodyear in some instances these places on 4X4s alignment = set toe - PMO) and ya got to...

    How do Monteros Stack Up Against Isuzu Troopers?

    Not 100% positive, but I think GM and Isuzu are still partnered. Previous generation of Chevy Colorado (not current) and next generation, Dura-Max diesels, Mid size trucks.

    Pizza Cutter tires...

    What year truck are you referencing? I've had a wide variety of tires on my '88 over the years - up to the current 33 x 12.5 MTZs. I think that 33x10.5s on Gen 2 trucks are really good, and really don't need a lift to run them (maybe a little torsion bar tweek to set ride height level front to...

    Pizza Cutter tires...

    I've got 235/85R16s on my Gen 3 - don't think I'd repeat. Wish I could find 255/85R16 in an AT - I think that would be great. Maybe will look at Ko2 34x10.5R17 next. I have both 16" and 17" wheels for this truck.

    Front Differential Removal

    I've done both Gen 1 and Gen 2 a few times. You will pretty much need to pull the driver side CV shaft out (separate ball joint(s)) Passenger side CV bolts to the jack shaft so you can unbolt there w/o un-doing ball joints.
