Stock tank is fine depending on where you go... Funny how in Australia everyone runs aux tanks where in American people use Jerry cans. Aux tank puts the weight down low, much larger capacity, safer, easier to fill. I would never put gas on the roof. And dislike bumper swing outs or anything...

They are the HD lift springs. I think the Group 31m battery and skids put it over the weight specs... when combined with the ARB bumper and winch. I'm sitting probably .5-1" over stock height. I would like to get another 1-1.5" up front. Skids are a requirement if you run trails. Mine have...

I've seen and read several reporting they gave slightly more lift than the OME springs. That was true initially but now it sits lower than the OME springs. I'm a bit heavy, especially in the front. However, they do ride incredibly well with the Nitro Sport shocks. I'm considering custom...

http://www.journeyoffroad.com/ - Makes custom racks to any spec. Joe did a nice rack for my 2013 Tacoma to hold the roof tent and awnings.

Wouldn't recommend doing that. The ARB bumper mounts are not designed for impact type pulling. The factory recovery loops work just fine.

Wait... BFG KO2 will be out in November. Better than all those options...

That's good to know. I actually have to pull the entire headliner as I'm having a custom rack built and need to fix a dent that was accumulated this year on a trail. Thanks for the info.

It's a nice, extremely clean rig. My friend Joe "Journey Off Road" built the roof rack. Incredible buy for what you get. I'd buy it if there was space to park it.

Buy this one... Already has the JDM motor plus lots of upgrades. Awesome price too... http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/4656963500.html

Does it drive / track poorly? Did you buy the truck with a bent frame or was it in a wreck?

My brother's 03 Monty sunroof wasn't closing properly. He took it to the dealer. They reset something in the computer and it works perfectly. Not sure how it programs itself for open/close range. I'm guessing it has some safety features built in that may tie into the computer. Don't know...

Gen3 is much larger inside. Plus, it's newer so less old vehicle type issues..

Lift will NOT provide increased clearance for larger tires. You are dealing with the same suspension travel range stock as lifted. You will rub the exact same spots lifted or stock as the suspension cycles. This is a huge misunderstanding people have with IFS / IRS rigs. Only on level ground...

Yes, I know how to post images. However, it's more time consuming uploading them to my server then posting the links so I haven't spent the time to do it. Previously, I could upload them to the forum which was quick. I may update it when I have more time in the fall...

Just turned over 100k miles on the way back from Bend this weekend... I've driven Monty 10k miles since purchasing it in April. Rather impressive considering it was parked for 30 days while modifying it and it's only used for expedition/adventures. Looking forward to many more adventures to come!

My recommendation... don't do it. Extremely difficult to keep clean. I know it's cool to do among the off road crowd but not a good choice in my opinion.

There are several reports of the Montero coming to the US in 2016. My local dealer was also talking with me about that. However, it will be their redesign which will likely not resemble the current version. Mitsubishi USA has poor offerings and poorer marketing. It's no wonder they are...

Just got back from a 2,300 mile expedition to Montana and Wyoming. Last weekend was driving trails around Mt Rainier in Washington. This week heading to Central Oregon. It's on the to-do list just need to take advantage of the summer time! I'll block off a week and finish editing soon...

It's been a number of years. I think they ran $300-350 for the pair. They will engineer the springs... you just tell them what you want. Such as progressive / linear rate, 400lbs constant weight over stock @ 3" lift. It is a much better solution than OME in most cases unless you fit...

Yes, my rear bumper is hammered. That's something that needs upgrading if you plan to run difficult trails.
