After what I think was a failed fan clutch, which lead to a minor over-heat, which lead to a water pump gasket failure (followed by me forgetting to put the radiator cap back on and emptying out all of my coolant again) I've got my 03 back on the road.... And yes, it is possible to change the...

Has anyone considered putting a 2nd battery in the box that houses the factory amp on a gen 2.5? for some reason, I just noticed the box sitting below the rear passenger seat for the first time. it looks big enough to hold a 2nd battery, but am not really sure of the inside dimensions, or the...

the Gen 3's have a common issue. When it gets cold, the horn will activate. Well, this happened to me (or rather my wife) while I was on a business trip to NYC. She calls me at 4 in the morning LA time and I can hear the horn on the car just blaring. So I proceed to walk her through how to...

**Updated 12/1 Moving in a few weeks, don't want to take any of this with me. Prefer local pick up, zip code 91344, but will ship at your cost. Link to higher quality photos: https://goo.gl/photos/2Px8sxPfyLGfUgmM7 PM me if you want something, post to the thread with questions. SOLD - - 2...

I'm thinking about moving the spare tire on the back door over a few inches so it's closer to the hinge. That will give me room to the left of the tire to mount a jerry can and perhaps a high lift. My plan is to install some horizontal rails into the existing tire carrier holes (I'm aware that...

Several of the dummy lights illuminate when starting the vehicle. That way you know the light works, and just isn't burnt out (or removed). Last night on my way home, heading up hill the low fuel light came on (I was low), a little further up the next hill I noticed that the light wasn't...

So last weekend I installed a pair of bouncy seat bases into my gen 2.5. Here are some things I learned: Bouncy seat bottom leather is not the same as the gen 2.5 leather, but you can make it fit onto the bouncy seat bottom foam cushion and frame with a little work (see video) A power driver's...

ATV ramp - check Garvin 7" gutter mounts - check New laptop screen - check? 2 year old climbed up in the office chair and tried to pick up the 8lb box of the gutter mounts off the desk... The box got dropped on a closed Macbook air, cracked the screen. All of a sudden, this inexpensive diy...

Are cracked exhaust manifolds a common issue? I'm debating on repairing or replacing the manifold, the driver's side is clearly cracked... but I did pull the passenger side, but can't see any obvious cracks. at nearly 150k miles, should I just replace them both? Dealer is charging around $250...

Doing pads and rotors all the way around on my '03 limited. I bought these for the front: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KFNOM4 The amazon page doesn't do a good job of indicating that when you buy, you are buying a pair. So now i'm going to be getting an extra pair sent to me (1st pair...

On my '03 limited (3.8L), I did the timing belt a couple of months ago, while I had the crank shaft pulley and sprocket pulled off, I replaced the crank seal. But over the last month after a longer drive, I can still smell a little oil burning. While replacing the drivers side rack and pinion...

The wife texts me while I'm at work "the car is leaking oil", I ask her to send me a picture (see video/picture below). As it turns out, the rear companion flange on the driver's side had popped out. This seems to be a pretty common occurrence for the Gen 3. The circlip seems to wear out over...

Came across this page while browsing 4xforum.com. This guy Andrew St.Pierre White has as bunch of overlanding videos. I find them quite enjoyable, even though many of the ones he has published to youtube are several years old. The commercials are official Mitsubishi press...

Picked up a 2003 Gen 3 (with the 3.8L engine) last week, it has just shy of 150k miles, so I'm sure the timing belt has been done, but I want to do it just to be sure. I've done the timing belt on my gen 2.5, so I know what I'm in for. Looking at rock auto, they have several kits available...

I've decided not to keep the brush guard on my Montero. Local pick up only, but I may be able to meet you somewhere 1/2 way for a delivery. It bolts up straight onto a Gen 2.5, and I would think it would do the same for a Gen 2. You do need to trim your front skid plate, but I'm happy to swap...

Have been experiencing a small sort of wobbling feeling from the steering wheel, so I thought I'd stick a camera on the front bumper to watch the suspension as I drove around. This is just a quick drive around the block and to the bank that I did to test out how well the suction cup worked, as...

I'm on the road in Utah. Filled up in Vegas several hours ago. Temps have been 100+ the whole day. At some point I had a pending CEL come on picked up by my ultra gauge of p0450. Everything else was normal. The full CEL never was thrown. Now just outside of St George, I'm filling up and my...

I plugged in my 4 pin blade style (I assume from the factory) tail light converter for a small trailer yesterday, and the trailer lights were VERY dim. Connecting one of the tail lights directly to he battery and it was plenty bright. I was also having problems with the running lights on the...
