    Hypothetical Gen 3 Purchase and Major Overhaul?

    Add Injector Seals... Doing much the same thing, for many of the same reasons, and am, literally, in the midst of doing the "Laundry List". Plugs and wires, rear cam seals, vac lines(use silicone, the rubber baked during the 10 months since having replaced them all after purchase!) and...

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    Dust Intrusion/HVAC Filtration Fix So after a recent trip that took me through Beef Basin, Bobby's Hole and over Elephant Hill, I decided that I was fed up with the level of dust intrusion. I adjusted all doors and siliconed the seals when I took ownership, so the first suspect(s) were the flow...

    Experience with 235/85R16 on Gen 3?

    Hiking in Moab without Yak Trax, with the sort of snow we have had this winter, is bad enough, so yeah, chains are now in the 3rd row "box". I know there are tons of pro 235 threads, but I was curious about durability and ride quality. Additionally, very few folks drop the coin on tires and...

    Experience with 235/85R16 on Gen 3?

    About to pull the trigger on some new tires and the concept of tall skinny is appealing, however, the Monty is a big boned girl. At nearly 5300# with my basic load I am concerned that the 235's will see higher operating temps on road and a shortened lifespan. I live in Moab, and eventually will...

    Gen 3 BG EPR Flush/Rotella T6 Oil Change WOW! Thoughts? Experience?

    Contaminating the cat is a concern, and certainly something to be aware if excessive oil consumption is an issue. I don't seem to have any of the classic smoking after idling or when accelerating, so I am not terribly concerned, but I could see a rig that makes smokescreens toasting cats/O2...

    Gen 3 BG EPR Flush/Rotella T6 Oil Change WOW! Thoughts? Experience?

    Bought an '01 Limited with 137ish and immediately performed and oil change with M1 5-30 (Normal M1) and a Mobil 1 Filter. Had continual and lifter tick; tried the Idle/15s to 3K/Idle Fix. Better, but still annoying, particularly with 15-25F start temps. Tried filling 5mm over as was recommended...

    LSD or not?

    LSD Experience in Moab I have an '01 Limited with the "Hyblid" LSD. Dead stock, including tire size, with GY Assurance Fuel Max's, this rig has done Hell's Revenge and Fins-n-Things...in winter, with snow, and ice in the shade. I have friends that guide for local companies, and they are...

    New Gen3 Owner

    Decided on a Gen 3 after much research on building a Gen2/2.5. Needed to work well here in Moab (no small feat), and still not require "suffering" to get to the trail. The Gen 3 has proven an extremely capable and comfortable highway partner. 2001 Limited with 136k. Sourced it from a dealer...

    Mr.Roboto Shogun! My 2005 Montero Limited

    More Rally/Raid Love the look of Montero/Pajero with flaps. Great homage to their history and though many have lamented the "Ricer" aspect, I think they look the business. In they process of designing a QD set for my '01. I have daily access to Moab, and the flaps are extremely practical...
