    Seat options in Gen 3

    I do not have the Gen 3 fresh in mind, I pulled the ones from my parts hulk a few years back. There is stuff in the remnants of the bodyshell that I could move such that I can get photos of the floor but then you will be in there soon.

    Seat options in Gen 3

    I have seen some mounts for early cars to mount trackday seats. I built my own for my Colts and my AWD Mirage swap. For the Montis, no market. Might be generic Recaro mounts somewhere but the brackets are rather simple.

    Seat options in Gen 3

    Yes there are, your local custom fabrication shop has them.

    Moving front axle forward

    What you are asking for would require custom fabrication to achieve. Decades back I have seen tubular control arms for a variety of vehicles but I truly expect there is nothing on the market now, nor would there be to do specifically what you want. The arms I have seen were to provide for longer...

    Pajero Mk2 SWB MIVEC Build

    Can you just imagine these 32YO winch relays no longer want to go click-click. Guess I will stow the new rope and reel it in when relays arrive.

    Pajero Mk2 SWB MIVEC Build

    The winch is getting close now, some details to do but low on the priority at this point.

    Pajero Mk2 SWB MIVEC Build

    Yes the winch is a truly multi use tool. Mine has done allot of recovery work early in it's life on my Gen1. That wonderful rig found itself in some serious muck, not to mention up on a table rock in the middle of a stream. That was interesting that once I got the rig hung up with all four...

    Pajero Mk2 SWB MIVEC Build

    Oh fun, it is time to install the winch since I will use it to move this uphill as I set the engine/trans in with the bucket of my tractor. All was going well till I find heavy contact of the new series wind motor to the radiator crossmember. I am pretty sure I had this new motor in my '95SR...

    2002 Montero 4x4 Trans and Rear diff help!

    I will guarantee there is NO CHANCE that both the transmission and differential will fail. What error codes are you getting on the transmission? You have not posted any picture of anything that can be used to determine what the transmission is.

    2002 Montero 4x4 Trans and Rear diff help!

    I am not sure what is being spoken of here but a 2004 Montero only has the 5 speed automatic and 4.3 ratio axles. There are no other options. The 2002 can have either a 4 or 5 speed auto. If the shifter can click to the right and go into manual shift mode you have a 5 speed.

    WTB, Mitsubishi Montero Sport Oil filter bracket

    If anyone has an oil filter bracket that is surplus to their needs I would like to buy one to see if it cures a conflict with the front differential on my project.

    Toasty's '98 Montero Build

    I had originally bought the Bosch filter-reg but once I got it I came to realize it was a 5.6 Bar unit, I'm guessing that is for DI engines. It appears the offbrand 4.0 bar filter might be from the same or near factory in China, I can't tell but will buy a spare.

    Gen 3 Montero (3.8 gas) - Build / Repair / Maintenance - Advice & Opinions wanted (Costa Rica)

    I am not the best one to answer this, all my vehicles are older, pre OBD2 vehicles. I understand the tech but do not have hands on experience.

    99' 3.0l V24 SWB Pajero

    When blasting out the frame, very little will go out the back. The rear cross tube aft of the tank blocks access. If you can back it up on something to get it tail high and use air quite allot will come out the front. As you have seen there are allot of holes along the frame, both inside and...

    99' 3.0l V24 SWB Pajero

    I do not see any trees nearby, but chainsaw bar oil is allot better than fluid film. Around where I am the fluid film provides very good protection for a week or so. Our last years chain oil is still there and will be freshened up soon. If you can get a good coating on the inside of the frame...

    Toasty's '98 Montero Build

    Wish I chimed in earlier, In my swap the Eclipse engine uses a returnless system as is common now. I used a Bosch filter regulator mounted back near the tank. One of these with a 4bar pressure which id close to what late Mitsus use. Mine is mounted just in front of the tank with two lines from...

    Gen 3 Montero (3.8 gas) - Build / Repair / Maintenance - Advice & Opinions wanted (Costa Rica)

    Interesting, I do not think I can come up with any honest correlation between the solenoid and engine systems. Are you able to capture engine data especially when it cuts out?

    Gen 3 Montero (3.8 gas) - Build / Repair / Maintenance - Advice & Opinions wanted (Costa Rica)

    The transmission has a cable to select P R N D, the gear selection once in D is fully electric. The transfer has no mechanical connection. It utilizes switches in the base of the transfer lever, a Transfer control unit and switches and actuators. The Tcase is shifted by an electric motor, the...

    Gen 3 Montero (3.8 gas) - Build / Repair / Maintenance - Advice & Opinions wanted (Costa Rica)

    The crank bolt is the same one used in FWD car engines for decades. I presume this has sat, undriven for some time, and without a battery might be part of the stalling if the ECU needed to relearn itself. Fuel leak, being a steel tank it could be a rust issue or something in the rather complex...
