Selling our 3rd Gen Montero. Build thread: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/modest-2002-montero-build.161367/ Craigslist posting - removed. Vehicle sold! Went to a good home!

Winding the thread down.... After much discussion, we've decided to sell the 3rd gen Montero (this one). It's running pretty well, though a few things have since happened to the car. Quick summary: Aftermarket radiator failed and replaced with a thin Napa unit. Swapped the hood and rims with a...

I'd be keen as to a replacement or renovated wheel for my Gen 2.5.

Thanks- its been a little challenging, but its been a really good vehicle and the wife and I are always surprised with it's capabilities. I also commute in the vehicle and its quite comfortable- though it won't fit in the parking garage when I get around to making the roof rack. Feel free to...

Looks like a good vehicle! Looking forward to the build! A rear locker really does help, as does disconnecting the rear sway bar. Gotta say, the paint turned out really well- If you are concerned about paint, you could paint it with a Raptor-Liner bedliner like mine. Super durable- but a...

Selling my bi-xenon headlights on Ebay if anyone is interested. <<<Ebay Link>>>

The units I picked up are strictly LED. Its a completed assembly from Koito and it is essentially a non-serviceable unit. It works ok for light to medium snowfall, but snow starts to stick when its wet and dense. Take a look at this post to see the entire light module: <<<Link 1 - My build...

Thanks! It has been a great addition so far and I'm very pleased with the additional functionality. At this point, I've only a few minor things that I'll likely change on it down the road. Before the snow started up, I was able to tend to a few small projects this morning. First up was to...

Few more pictures. Also- I'll be making a few tweaks to the jerry can mount in the near future as well. It worked well- though we never filled it for this trip as we were close to town (Sedona). Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Just finished up with a camping trip the other week. The rig did admirably but certainly needs a few more tweaks. Namely mud flaps and an air assist bag for a little more pay load capacity. I think the next major project will also be a roof rack and awning. Perhaps later this year... This was...

Ebay. Search for: stainless steel thru hull 24mm exhaust fitting. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

The controller I have actually noted the elevation and didn't seem adjustable. I am under the impression that it has an internal barometer and is self regulating. I tested the system out in Denver and used the system successfully in Sedona with low temps in the 20's (f) with a few inches out...

The higher the hertz, the more frequently fuel is injected. Thus, more heat. Adjust up or down as needed. Make sure to occasionally ramp up temperatures to clear out the combustion chamber- I'm planning to do this prior to storage or after 5 gallons of fuel or so. Used my setup for 5 cold...

Once it synced up, it changed to English after a few cycles. Thanks for the heads up. So we've used the heater a few nights so far and is been great. It goes thru more fuel than I initially thought, but that is certainly acceptable in exchange for the comfort. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

First test run tonight. Heater works and puts out plenty of heat. Still sorting out the controls at the moment. The remote displays Chinese and if anyone can provide input to change to English, that'd be appreciated. I'm going to reach out to the seller after my camping trip. Sent from my...

Yes- I'm planning on making a bike rack that fits there or a bracket to hold other light accessories. Here is a pic with a basket attached. Something that won't ever be used as it's too much weight when loaded and much too far away from the mount. I'd wager that this basket likely would break...

Thanks for the compliment! The seats are aftermarket replacement seats and replace the entire factory unit. I'm actually planning to sell my seats here sometime soon as I have my eyes on a different set of aftermarket seats with armrests. There was an upholstery company called Katskinz that...

Project is essentially finished. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Here is what I did to fit a cabin filter to the Gen2 Montero. This won't fix a foggy windshield, but will help with dust in the cabin. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/not-so-modest-2000-gen-2-5-montero-build.188763/page-3#post-2428583

I picked up a urethane coating from Amazon (MG Chemicals 4223-55ML) that has an applicator much like nail polish- a bush attached to the lid. Provided the part was clean (new) just brush the liquid onto the pcb. There are YouTube videos, but it's actually a very simple process. Just be mindful...
