    Towing a Montero Gen I with a Gen II?

    sure can. My '88 is a MT - so put in transmission in neutral and the t-Case in neutral - not sure if the automatics have a neutral detent in the t-case however, so those the drive shaft should be removed. This is my '93 tugging it around with a tow bar.

    Gen 3 Timing belt brand & cam seals?

    Dealer only as far as I know. Don't skimp. This is an interference engine. On this past Friday the timing belt went out on my '92. Thank god not an interference engine. 34K miles since change, probably wasn't an OEM belt. Receipt from PO only shows belt being replaced, not the tensioner or...

    Considering a 91 Montero LS (thoughts?)

    Not sure, I've never looked. OEM might be difficult - a lot of the GEN 1 stuff is getting pretty hard to find from Mits. Quick google search showed good aftermarket support.

    Considering a 91 Montero LS (thoughts?)

    Wet carpet could be windshield seal or rust in the windshield frame (under the seal) pretty common. Repairable if you can find a replacement seal.

    My Cruiser needs a new motor does this cost seem outta line? Consider SFBay area.

    $13.5k fix on an 18 y.o. truck. I'd rethink that... Price may not seam out of line for the amount of work and parts involved, but the economics don't make it for me.

    Monteros on craigslist

    Just to be clear, the smaller axles are the similar size as a Ford 9" - so not that small really. Plus I've never heard about a rear axle breaking in any of these rigs. Agreed the 9.5" SR axle is preferred.

    Aftermarket Lockers in a Gen II

    Thats odd. From my location I can see MANY listed under Montero ('95 / '96) search "carrier" shouldn't give away all my secrets, but I'm set for now ;-) One more tip. If your going to swap - buy a wheel to wheel because the N.A. driver side axle is a different length, and I've had a...

    Aftermarket Lockers in a Gen II

    I bought the one in my '92 (used from a '95 SR) wheel to wheel for $300 with pump. Actually not that hard to find. http://www.car-part.com I don't have mine tied to the transfercase. Simple on/off switch. Not that hard to wire up.

    Aftermarket Lockers in a Gen II

    Our '93 SR does not have a rear locker. If the one you are looking at has 4.636 gears, just go with a replacement factory locker solution. Much more economical even if you end up having to ship it.

    getting excited for the new BFG KO2

    I can't wait until April for the 235-85R16 for the Gen 3. Need tires before winter this year. So will probably go with the A/T KO (not KO2)
