Thanks man! Honestly looks are the primary reason for me lol. I really like the poms but wanted a better looking, wider "stance". The added benefit of a significantly more stable feel due to the wider 2" track is nice too on such a narrow truck. I'm definitely no expert, but I've had no...

Forgot to add this photo when I was buttoning the door back up. This was completely unnecessary as the old plastic was still fine-ish, but there's just something so satisfying about going the extra step and putting in some new plastic. And started up on the exhaust. This go around I went...

A fellow montero community member helped me get my hands on a new cluster to hopefully help fix my tacho. I kept my fingers crossed for sure since this unit was a little beat up, but plugged her in and sure enough, she works! Swapped the guts into my cluster and cleaned up the cover a little...

So ever since I got the truck the driver side manual window regulator has not worked well. It's falling apart and slips teeth and with some rattling, you can lower the window from the outside...not ideal. Finding a new regulator online is pretty unobtanium and even a used part is very hard to...

Being in the painting spirit still, decided to move onto repairing the rusty patch. But first I slapped on the flag decals. Don't look great, but don't look too bad either. Definitely better than before. And a quick reminder about how the rust was before we dive in... First hit it with...

Wow, it's been a very slow start to working on this rig for me. Life's been a mess lately and this pig has just been sitting for the last few months. Fortunately I just started a new job where I'm not only being treated better, but I'll also only be working 4 days a week (instead of 5-6 days)...

For tires I decided to go with the same goodyear wrangler authority in a 31x10.5r15 that I did for my previous gen 1. I was very pleased with them then and walmart happened to be running a sale so snatched up a set of 4. I brought the loose wheels and had walmart mount them, and then I...

So back to our regular Montero content.. First thing I did was start to rip off the gross purple tint and the garage door seal-looking "flares". I also found a new old stock window latch and replaced that at the same time. I did find a little rust under the "flares". This bit is the worst of...

Boys and girls, after a brief 1 year hiatus, we are back in a Montero! Meet my new girl: a 1989 Dodge Raider V6 manual with the 4.63 gearing, LSD rear end, and a bouncy driver seat! :cool: She's got 181,xxx miles and is overall in fairly good condition. Not unlike my first gen 1...

Mine had 196k miles, badly needed the valve stem seals done, and was nowhere near as clean as that, and I sold it for $8,000. (Although it was heavily modded) But to answer your question: both. Our rigs are definitely going up in value in general, and covid is also pushing prices even higher.

2003 Mitsubishi Montero 20th Anniversary Edition Location: Centennial, Colorado 3 Owner (including myself) California car up until May 2020. Rust free! Second owner had it for less than a month before selling to me. Asking $7,500. $6,500 if you bring your own wheels/tires. Price is...

I run "34s". 34/10.5r17 BFG KO2s. 17x7 4mm offset wheels. 1.5" lift all around. Super high clearance front bumper and some fender trimming required. Fender liner molding in the rear required. No rubs at all lock to lock except for hard-hard hits you'll hit the inside of the fender well up...

Yeah DIY Just chopped up the stocker with the dremel and bought some universal grill mesh and grill letters

New wheels on the rig! I had my eyes on the Konig Six Shooters which weigh 21 lbs each, but they're always out of stock and I just happened to see a killer deal on some 4runner TRD pro wheels so I pulled the trigger. These are not as light, 25.9 lbs on my bathroom scale, but still a bit...

I run 34/10.5r17s with 4.90s and love them. Just switched to 17x7 4mm offset wheels, but I when I had them on 17x7 15mm wheels there was no rubbing except for the top of the fender liner up front on big impacts. After trimming/massaging of course. 80mph puts you at ~3100 rpms. 75mph ~2900...

Little bit of maintenance and a little bit of rig enjoyment. Swaybar endlinks and bushings to replace the tired oem rubber and junky clunking mevotech units I had in previously. No more clunking! (y) Went with Moog parts (555) for both. The little cv boot repair I did also started leaking...

Haven't had time for a proper test run yet since I'm back to working in person, but did get to fit in a solo shakedown run to the closest fire road I could find. Nothing tough, but from the donuts and drifting I did, the back end definitely feels a lot more tight! All signs point positive so...

Clever. I dig it, especially how stealth it is tucked behind the plate!

Thanks! Everyone starts somewhere--there was a time when I was afraid to change my own oil! Popped the new diff in today. Much easier of an install the second go around. About 5 hours start to finish including some small breaks here and there. Quick drive around the block and everything...

Swapped out the very leaky passenger rear cam seal today. Incredibly easy job. The old seal was rock hard and cracked upon removal. Hopefully this solves the bulk of my oil leak issues. Also changed the oil, 187,190 miles. Trying out Costco's kirkland 5w-30 full synthetic this time. Decent...
