The part I do not care about in this system, your foot only controls the front brakes. The rear brakes are applied electronically. This is not noticeable to most people. ABS systems and electronic braking defaults to "no brakes" in variable low or no grip conditions. Living in salt country where...

These are the major reason the '02 I bought is not something I want to drive. There are some real nice traits to the vehicle but I have no interest in being a few states away from home and have the brake system become inop and not band-aid able. I have considered converting to basic vacuum...

I do not have the Gen 3 fresh in mind, I pulled the ones from my parts hulk a few years back. There is stuff in the remnants of the bodyshell that I could move such that I can get photos of the floor but then you will be in there soon.

I have seen some mounts for early cars to mount trackday seats. I built my own for my Colts and my AWD Mirage swap. For the Montis, no market. Might be generic Recaro mounts somewhere but the brackets are rather simple.

Yes there are, your local custom fabrication shop has them.

What you are asking for would require custom fabrication to achieve. Decades back I have seen tubular control arms for a variety of vehicles but I truly expect there is nothing on the market now, nor would there be to do specifically what you want. The arms I have seen were to provide for longer...

Can you just imagine these 32YO winch relays no longer want to go click-click. Guess I will stow the new rope and reel it in when relays arrive.

The winch is getting close now, some details to do but low on the priority at this point.

Yes the winch is a truly multi use tool. Mine has done allot of recovery work early in it's life on my Gen1. That wonderful rig found itself in some serious muck, not to mention up on a table rock in the middle of a stream. That was interesting that once I got the rig hung up with all four...

Oh fun, it is time to install the winch since I will use it to move this uphill as I set the engine/trans in with the bucket of my tractor. All was going well till I find heavy contact of the new series wind motor to the radiator crossmember. I am pretty sure I had this new motor in my '95SR...

I will guarantee there is NO CHANCE that both the transmission and differential will fail. What error codes are you getting on the transmission? You have not posted any picture of anything that can be used to determine what the transmission is.

I am not sure what is being spoken of here but a 2004 Montero only has the 5 speed automatic and 4.3 ratio axles. There are no other options. The 2002 can have either a 4 or 5 speed auto. If the shifter can click to the right and go into manual shift mode you have a 5 speed.

If anyone has an oil filter bracket that is surplus to their needs I would like to buy one to see if it cures a conflict with the front differential on my project.

I had originally bought the Bosch filter-reg but once I got it I came to realize it was a 5.6 Bar unit, I'm guessing that is for DI engines. It appears the offbrand 4.0 bar filter might be from the same or near factory in China, I can't tell but will buy a spare.

I am not the best one to answer this, all my vehicles are older, pre OBD2 vehicles. I understand the tech but do not have hands on experience.

When blasting out the frame, very little will go out the back. The rear cross tube aft of the tank blocks access. If you can back it up on something to get it tail high and use air quite allot will come out the front. As you have seen there are allot of holes along the frame, both inside and...

I do not see any trees nearby, but chainsaw bar oil is allot better than fluid film. Around where I am the fluid film provides very good protection for a week or so. Our last years chain oil is still there and will be freshened up soon. If you can get a good coating on the inside of the frame...

Wish I chimed in earlier, In my swap the Eclipse engine uses a returnless system as is common now. I used a Bosch filter regulator mounted back near the tank. One of these with a 4bar pressure which id close to what late Mitsus use. Mine is mounted just in front of the tank with two lines from...

Interesting, I do not think I can come up with any honest correlation between the solenoid and engine systems. Are you able to capture engine data especially when it cuts out?

What are your environment conditions, it is hot like 30c or more?
