Your Montero (SR Flares) is about 70" wide That 4 runner is about 67" 3rd Gen 4 Runner is near perfect width and much closer on the contour. 70.5" XJ is about 67" ZJ is about 69" The Yota and the Montero have a curve across the front like the one you have pictured, the jeeps in discussion...

The Jeep will be narrow for a Montero and Jeep bumpers are flat where the Montero is curved, be cautious of the work involved in putting a Jeep style plate construction bumper on a Montero. I've done a few and always from guys who bought a jeep bumper because they saw a Montero on the internet...

We all need to talk them into giving us the new Montero Sport.

There are no members awaiting approval, you should be good. The reason we did it that way was because we got attacked by bots when the forum first launched. This will change as we refine things, right now we have most of the old school Montero guys and moderators from the other Montero forums...

Jay, torque it down on the truck with everything connected. Sorry for the slow response, i went off and opened up my own Montero Forum so I've been busy with that and haven't checked this thread.

Gen 3's with 3.8 seem to be worth considerably more than the early models which we buy for pocket lint and gum. Thinking about selling mine after R&D is done for skid plates, lift, tires and such

Or a 3.8 variable intake? I was thinking about swapping one onto my 3.5 for some added grunt.

YAY!

My exhaust is trashed, I'm going to change some things in order to R&D more power. We'll see how it goes but the plan is for higher volume of cooler air in and better flow out plus a dyno tune. As much as i want to try the 3.8 swap i can't justify it since my engine only has 60k miles.

Pro tip: When installing the front cam seals be sure not to drive them in too deep (ESPECIALLY WITH AFTERMARKET SEALS!!!) as you can drive them in past the seal bore without even realizing it. Your truck will pour oil out the front of the head and you'll have to tear the whole thing down again.

StokerExplosion is running 285/75R16 on stock wheels with spacers. I know that doesn't answer our question but he ran them without for a bit and I think he rubbed.

Awesome trucks guys!

Those look great, report back dude!

I've run Mark's gears in a Gen 1 and a Gen 2, they are pretty fantastic. Work exactly like stock except effortless offroad and tons of control up and downhill, pretty fantastic. Also they are quiet unlike the Jeep gears.

Looks good!

Those "crack shackles" the autoparts store sells are junk, the other thing about shackles is that for a 2" shackle you only gain about an inch of lift. As far as a spring over is concerned, you're already removing the shackles so what's another half hour of labor AND leaf perches are about $15...

I'll head up Saturday morning and meet at the Expo itself, I think there are some attendance prizes for Montero guys. Special prizes for Montero ladies!

RAM 1200 for the win!

Spring over

Some guys I know sell a transfer case gearset (Made by Marks 4WD Australia) for the Gen 3 and it makes a MASSIVE difference, capability goes through the roof. Wheel control, traction (lower wheel speed and less shock loads) I can't say enough good things about Mark's Crawler gears.
