No, but I had a lifetime warranty idler on the truck before and it guaranteed me a lifetime of replacing it after every good wheeling trip. Yeah, 33's or bigger you're looking at bending an idler with spirited offroad use but with crawler gears and finesse you can wheel pretty tough trails and...

Steering feel after the rebuild is super smooth, even if not upgrading the king pin the bushing kit makes a noticeable difference.

$195 for the rebuild kit with chromoly king pin, just the normal rebuild kit is $70 (bronze bushings and seal). adventuredrivendesign.com

Snapring installed! A little sealant to the cap (I used blue locktite but any sealant would do the job) Better than new!

Here is the old bent shaft vs the new one, I had to tap the old one out with a small hammer. I made sure to keep track of the order and directions of parts as I cleaned them, this thing only goes back together one way. Note the tops and bottoms of each piece. It's pretty easy to figure out...

Today I installed my ADD chromoly king pin and bronze bushing rebuild kit in my original Mitsubishi Idler arm housing. Here is the kit out of the box. My trashed idler assembly, pretty sure in addition to the bent shaft the bushings are shot. (break the arm nut loose before removing from...

So on those bushings, they are very soft. Nearly the same durometer as the factory rubber, I've always been a OEM super rubber kind of guy until i found these. They are very different that the normal polyurethane bushings you typically see, they are all moulded and clad exactly how they should...

Right, unless you're offroad all the time. Those lockers do weird things locked in on the highway in 2WD.

Having fit them before, they are a lot of work to put on, too narrow and too straight. There are better ARB's to modify, even if it were free i'd say sell it and buy a different one. As far as winch mounting goes you don't need a bumper to mount one to a Montero and i don't recommend that...

Very good hubs if you can find them, they have been discontinued for a while now.

I think '96 was the changeover year for tank evap style.

The Detroit is going up for sale or did you work it into a labor trade?

Nice rig and photos! Good to have a face to go with the name as well.

Mods I recommend, gears and aggressive tires, armor and install a locking diff if you plan to get into some rough stuff offroad. Nice looking rig though dude.

NICE!!! good looking rigs and welcome to Exportal.

Very true statement, I'd like to ad that both manufacturers use the same OEM belts (MITSUB⊙SHI) and tensioners (NTN) with the exception of the later USDM (Mitsubishi after sales) contracted Mitsubishi belts which I think are Gates/Mitsubishi or something to that effect. The problem with...

Thought about doing the same exact thing, I've made a few out of steel but aluminum would be best. You machining these yourself or do you have a shop in mind to do the work?

Definitely unplug something that makes it run, Power unit, coils or injector harness.

The 100 and 200 Series trucks are far better than the 120 and 150 Series as far as stoutness go, better bet to go with those if you go with a Toyota and have the $$$$$$.

Good points BEG, I have similar experience and i'll follow your lead here. I had a GX470/120 Series What I liked about the GX over the Gen 3 Montero: -Seats -Stereo -Integrated Nav -2UZ VVT-i -Newness and dealer service record for every 5k miles of it's life Disliked: - Height control -...
