    Recommendations for 5 person rooftop tent

    I owned a TuffStuff (not the 5 person) maybe 5 years ago. Its an OK tent. Like the vast majority its it coming out of the same factory in China as many of them but with a TS label. Mattress is crap like most.

    Wife doesn’t want to camp with RTT anymore

    Yep, wife didn't like the RTT for the same reason, and I didn't like closing it up on top of the truck, I'm short and getting older, truck is tall. Sold the RTT. Bought a pickup and built a GFC type wedge. Much better. Considerably easier to get in and out of. Take down is no more than 2...

    7 Pin Trailer Light / Power

    It shouldn't be an issue. I have a 7-pin on my Gen 3. It only adds a power (I wired direct to battery - fused) and brake controller. I skipped the reverse lights, my trailer doesn't have them. You didn't mention it, but you will need a brake controller. I have a Tekonsha, don't remember...

    Montero Limited Stuck in Low Range (4LLC) - Help!

    I'd be shocked if a tech at a Mitsubishi dealership has any knowledge of these trucks. Most were still in elementary school when the last of them rolled off the lot, combined with the massive closing of Mitsu dealerships after the 2008 crisis, and reopening a few 5 years later.

    Montero gen II.5 - what to check when buying?

    Common area for heavy rust is rear frame rails from about the rear axle center line and back (I'm referencing rust belt trucks). Not sure why, but every Gen 2.5 is far rustier in this are than the Gen 2. Probably a environmentally friendly coating swap.

    Buying Gen1 4dr Montero in 2020 - am I sane or not?

    Get it up to date on the PM, timing belt, cooling system, brakes, brake lines, wheel bearings, fluid changes etc... Sounds like it should fit your needs. Great vehicles if they have been taken care of without the high entry point of a LC. Oh - and did I say... travel south to find one. Rust...

    Buying Gen1 4dr Montero in 2020 - am I sane or not?

    Daily driving a 30 yo + vehicle can be challenging especially if depending on it for work transportation ie: winter. You will probably need to search south of NJ to find a rust minimum sample as well.
