    Monty the 3rd Gen Montero

    Bummer on the brakes, glad you're okay. Really curious on the sway bar angle since i run one now and have 4" of lift.

    Toasty's '98 Montero Build

    Thanks ?, I did once put a truck on it's roof to pull a transmission (didn't make it easier).

    Toasty's '98 Montero Build

    A Tesla build for me would have to be sportier than a Montero, Starion, 3000GT or even a Gen 1 Mighty Max. Something i could keep low CG.

    Toasty's '98 Montero Build

    Ha ha ha, i thought you made a funny. No i pulled it out from the top and then set it down in front of the truck. Sorry for the confusion.

    Toasty's '98 Montero Build

    Left the trans in place. This engine has two broken connecting rods and does not turn so it had to be pulled with the converter attached. It did require the radiator to be pulled.

    Flat RV tow ? Gen 1 T/C case swapped into a newer Gen ?

    Like lordtrunks said though, the easiest and cheapest option is a rear driveshaft disconnect.

    Flat RV tow ? Gen 1 T/C case swapped into a newer Gen ?

    It's not that Gen 2's don't have a neutral in the T-case it's that automatic trucks don't have a neutral. Gen 2 Manual has a T-case neutral, its used for the PTO as well. You can remove the shift rail and make a neutral position on an auto T-case but you can't easily adapt a manual T-case to an...

    The old 1999 build thread

    The above pics are with the rear sway bars on, can't wait to see how they look maxed out. Also I did PA_JERO's truck with 90 degree fittings on his shocks, looks a lot cleaner. When i ordered the first set of shocks i wasn't sure how the hoses would clear the towers, now we know.

    The old 1999 build thread

    PA_JERO and I went and tested the flex today. Clearances are good and now it's just breaking in and tuning. Both trucks drive very well in the road and at highways speeds so we're both really happy.

    Recommend some good shocks?.

    I said this exact thing some years ago before i fired my wife, after that the Montero got a bigger budget ?. Once i finish the '98 engine swap i plan to save up and see how Kings are on IFS at stock height. Just not sure if i should convert to coilovers or run just the shocks with T-bars and...

    Yeah PLH, i was helpful with first recommending Tokico's before derailing this thread. Ha ha ha! Almost feels like a 4x4wire post now! ?

    About $2300 for the Gen 2 Montero specific ones.

    94 sr rear axle companion flange needed

    It's not an adapter it's any other 9.5" diff pinion Flange except '94 and the companion yoke.

    Montero may be totaled. What now?

    Fight the insurance company with the receipts from building the Montero, including hours you've put in. They won't find anything to compare it to, send them a link to Sonicmasd's Gen 3 sale ad to compare and get the most out of it. I'd say just grab another Gen 3 as they still exist and you have...

    Part # needed radiator hose clamps

    I prefer the wire clamps that came on the rest of the Monteros, some autoparts stores have T bolt clamps for silicone hose and those function like the OEM types.

    Recommend some good shocks?.

    Tokicos are budget friendly and very nice (if you can find them for sale) I got mine on eBay. The Bilstein 4600's are nice too. Now that i've experienced Kings it's pretty hard to enjoy even my Bilstein 7100's. Now i don't even know if the 5100 or 7100 are worth the money anymore, 4600's are...
