Great post, thank you!

Yoshi is still going strong but I've been slacking on updating the thread with mods the last few years. Luckily, I just made a couple build breakdown videos:

Oh no, the photos went down :-(

Switching to a manual transfer case is certainly an option. Early 2001 Monteros had them so you can get them for cheap in junkyards (just look for a leather boot around the tcase shifter in the vehicle) so I believe it would be a straight forward swap as MontySquareo mentioned (with a few extra...

4H is Mitsubishi speak for AWD. When you go into 4H the center diff light on the dash should NOT illuminate. All 4 tire lights should go solid green and that's it. If the center light is coming on solid (though I suspect it would be blinking) then you have a transfer case fault which is not...

Wow, that's so cool that you not only have the CAD skills but also the Fab skills to knock out a project like this, very impressive. Looks great!

Heyo, The rig is looking killer! Hitch - Yes, all the aftermarket hitches available now hang too long and WARNING - cannot be used for kinetic "snatch" recoveries, they'll rip right out of the sheet metal body. You want to try and find either a now long since discontinued UHAUL made hitch or...

Hot floorboard - that's from the replacement muffler being tucked up higher than the original one and without a heat shield. I only figured this out when I did the same mod to my next Gen3 and the floormat started melting. I made a custom heat shield as detailed in the Yoshi build thread but...

Hey, that's great! Glad you got it up and running. I used to own it too and am living in Flagstaff now as well. Are you in Flagstaff too, or another part of AZ?

Awesome, glad to hear it. Now head out to the Cinders and put it through its paces :-)

Hi all, I spoke to TRE about the need for clearancing the various parts of the lockers posted here and they confirmed that they are aware of this and that they believe it to be a normal part of the fitment/installation process. In the elocker instructions it even says to bend the anti-rotation...

Wow, I hadn't checked this thread in a long time - list has now been updated. THX

The rig is looking great!

Awesome, excited to see what you do with it!

Here's a video on how to remove the Grille, from there you just unbolt the 3 bolts on the top of each headlight and one from the inside of the fender behind the splash shield.

Check out Rambo Penguin's build thread if you haven't already, he has photos of his flipped weld.

Front Suspension can be challenging on these rigs. 99% of squeak complaints from the front end after strut install is from improperly assembled struts. Check out these videos and feel free to post some photos up and I'll see if I can spot anything...

Everyone has pretty much migrated to the "Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero Gen 3 Squad" facebook group.

Regarding the rear diff - The axles popping out of the diff is a known issue that Mitsubishi fixed on models built October 2005 and later. There are new stub axles with a bigger groove and bigger circlip in them to fix this issue, or for cheap, you can just replace the circlips with the new...
