Surface rust on the trailer hitch and some surface rust on the frame, but no serious rust at all. Every bolt I’ve come across on this truck has been easily removed with hand tools. I can get some undercarriage pics later.

Conversation started. Perfect timing as I was planning on posting for sale within the next few weeks. Clean rust free 1995. 245k miles with a remanufactured engine and new oem clutch at 190k. Timing belt and all associated parts getting done right now (in prep for posting for sale here). New...

Keep in mind raptor liner or similar makes a used vehicle difficult to sell if/when you want to move on

Killer deal for sure. I think the only reason it hasn’t sold is the raptor lining. Unfortunately buyers don’t really like it. But good luck with the sale!

Price drop

Also got the front end together. It’s just temporary till paint time.

Put down some killmat and then a liner to isolate the cabin a bit. Probably not necessary, as in mu other gen 2, all the cabin noise is wind noise, while road noise is barely noticeable. But, while it’s apart… and put the new-used-washed carpet in. Looks better in person than the pics, and...

really interesting, I’ve never known anything about cv axle joint until reading this thread. I did a quick google search and one of the first articles states that the Rzeppa is actually less strong of a design than the tripod of the same size. It does say that the Rzeppa offers more articulation...

These are the Montero gen 2/2.5 specific shocks provided by Adventure Driven Design with only 1,071 miles on them. Attached is a pic of the receipts with mileage from changing these out. I bought them, waited 5 or 6 months for delivery (covid delays), had my shop install them, took one trip...

New (old) dash in! Check out that oh $&@! bar, much safer than an airbag Swapped the speedo backings for yellow. The temp and gas gauges weren’t coming off and didn’t want to force them. Didn’t want to swap the entire cluster because I didn’t know if 95/96 electronics are interchangeable and in...

Some pics cleaning and swapping body panels. Not crazy clean, but as clean as I’ll get it and the rat smell is gone. The 95 has a brown interior so every panel needs replacement to match the color.

Been busy replacing the entire interior - including the dash, carpet, etc. front a 95. This thing was NASTY when I took it apart. Also swapped the front left quarter panel and the front body bar thing behind the bumper. Lots of work. The green sr is the donor truck with a seized engine.

Thanks for the input. The gentleman that sold me the truck is a member here and knows Monteros real well and did the timing belt before he sold it to me. Is getting at that front crankshaft seal possible without removing all the timing belt components?

I agree. It looks like if it was original with a clean title... but for these, the nicest examples are listed at 10k with clean titles. Usually around 6-9k for nice ones. 18k is ridiculous. But hey, its worth what someone is willing to pay... it probably drives great and would provide years of...

Totally cool. At that price it'll go quick.

Any chance you could get the 5 speed shift knob?

Cool truck! I’ve got a 1995 and I’m at 245,000 miles. this have the 12 valve or the 24 valve 3.0 motor?

Thanks for the update!

New tires! 265/75r16 Firestone Destination at2, sl rated. Chose these because they’re the lightest weight AT tire by far compared to any other brand. Sl rating, glad I didn’t go with an E rating after driving on these, they’re smooth and quiet. 95% of my driving is on the highway on my way to a...
