03/26/2022 Put the monty through it’s first serious test in years. Got stuck in the mud for hours, had tons of fun. Definitely needs a winch or just a better driver ?.

03/25/2022 Got new tires mounted and balanced. They were takeoffs off a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon with 300 miles on them, Falken Wildpeak MT01 in 285/70R17, or roughly a 33x11 if my math is correct. They look pretty good imo, especially considering it’s on stock springs and torsion bars. They...

03/25/2022 Picked up some 17” wheels off a TRD 4runner. Forewarning, if you want to run Toyota wheels on your gen 2, the bolt pattern matches up but not the hub bore (106mm toyota vs 108mm mitsu). You’ll either have to bore the wheels out by 2mm, or run wheel spacers, which is what I did...

03/24/2022: Before I start modding anything, I wanted to get a feel for how the Terminator would do stock. I continue to be amazed at what these 25 year old rigs can do stock! The monty did really well, got stuck a couple times in the mud. Simply putting it in 4LLC and rocking back and forth...

Alrighty, well I finally picked up a Gen 2.5. Have been actively looking for several months now and finally picked up this beautiful 2000 Montero Endeavour. I initially limited my search to the holy grails, ‘94-‘96 SR and ‘98-‘99 winter package bcs of the rear locker. Well, here I am with a...

Any updates?

Hello, I’m currently looking at gen 2/2.5 montero’s, preferably either an SR or a manual. I just found one in my area, a 1992 with the 5 speed manual. I think it’s the base model. From what I understand, this has the 3.0L engine, and thus the front diff is 8” and rear is 9”, but I could be...

https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3gvvRDez/2006-mitsubishi-montero-limited-4x4 $10 grand for a stock Gen 3 with 150k miles? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love mine... but what? Is it because of the rare color, or has the market gone crazy during covid because of all the wannabe overlanders...

You're absolutely right, a subframe lift would be the best option, but there just aren't any for sale as of now, and the earliest one that I know of will only be available next year at the earliest.

Well, I thought the point of the extended/angled control arms is to get the wheel camber on point, right? I installed a 2in lift kit on my 2002 Montero Limited, and 2 inch lift spacers, and now I have really screwed up camber angles, like the truck in the attached pics (not mine). I thought of...

Im thinking of having someone local custom fab some lengthened and strengthened upper and lower control arms for my gen 3 so I can do 4in of lift... What other parts would you recommend to custom fab/replace?

Hey, is this still available?

Hey man, is the spare tire cover only for the stock tire size, or would it fit larger tires as well?

Hey man, Do you know where you got the ladder? I can't seem to find it on the jaos website.

I drive a Gen 3 actually, though I think with a bit of welding a gen 3 bumper should definitely fit a gen 2.

Hey man, I've already contacted them regarding front and rear bumpers. I'm located in Seattle, WA, so its a little bit of a ride up there. They did quote me on the high end, (because this is the first kit and they need to do a lot of the work themselves) so I've yet to decide if I should go...

Glad it all turned out okay. Wasn't able to post any pics because apparently they're "too big".

Thank God it was the spacers. I just got the Dobinsons lift yesterday, will be putting it on this next week.
