Howdy just tightening up my torsion bars, on the two nuts connected to the adjustment bolt, I under stand you need to loosen the top nut, and you want to put a wrench on the lower nut to hold while you turn the bolt underneath, but do you need to loosen the lower nut as well for adjustment?Any...

AT2 Had AT2s on a more modified Element. Great tire, very heavy though or so they seemed. Only had them for 20k miles before I sold my element, but they didn't seem wear much in that time.

Pretty funny, maybe I was channeling your rig when I ordered the deck? Still trying to decide what rig is following me to DV? Really want to bring the Tundra, but if I bring the Montero I think I'll be compelled to change the route to include Echo Canyon :coffeedrink: Cranked the torsion bars...

Making some progress. Replaced passenger side rear window regulator, now all four windows roll down. :wings: Installed new deck, w/ipod controls, Pandora and blue tooth. Installed an on/off switch for the power antenna, so now I can leave it down when off road or listening to ipod. Installed...

Fast & the Furious part 8 (Montero Style?):victory:

nckwltn has one for sale below, local pick up though. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/131257-FS-Gen-2-5-Brush-Guard josh

Are you going to run something else? edit, Hey that is me in the lower pic- I must be famous.

Aftermarket deck installation questions @dcmontero in the short term: re-enforced tcase skid, sliders, crank down torsion bars to level front with rear. Aftermarket Stereo wiring questions: Ok, what is the 8 pin plug for? CD changer? Not sure what the small wire next to the antenna plug...

Making some progress Got some work done yesterday on the Montero. Hmmm lots of stuff removed Door locks would unlock than lock when pushing the unlock button on transmitter, also when using the key the first cycle. Took apart the master driver side door lock actuator (read on the internet...

Reminds me of my old 88 manual trans 4wd Toyota van. Cool rig but lots of $ for something w/30 year old electronics and lots of them.

Thanks, I took a look at it yesterday late afternoon. Wow, what a difference working in the light of day makes. LOL got it out with out incident. From what I read, the fault seems to occur from the internal bumpers on the actuator. Sounds like you are referring to the actual switch rather than...

This is probably pretty easy question, but trying to do the "cautious" rather than "ham fisted" approach to removal. I have the dreaded auto, relock on the power door lock system where you press unlock and it relocks the doors faster than you can get them open. I removed the 2 10mm bolts that...

Thanks guys, I actually ordered a JVC unit from Crutchfield last night at around 9PM, (nwoods, you must have been channeling me-:) ), with the harness adapter. Thankfully I had already pulled the driver side door panel off to figure out what I was in for when replacing window regulator next...

aux input Thanks nckwltn, if I'm going to swap head units I need to find one with 2 sets of preamp (rca) outputs rather than the standard single set to hook up to the existing factory amp, correct?

Ok, so I have the factory infinity stereo w/disc changer in back (changer not hooked up), wanting to add an aux port so I can plug in my ipod. I tried using the old school "cassette tape" wired adapter but there is a lot of static when plugging it in. Wondering if there is an easy (cheap) way to...

Yep, picking it up tomorrow on my way back from vacation with family.

Hardware needed some extra parts, bigger washer here, piece of flat steel to act like a washer to keep bolt on top of frame but otherwise all good. Might get to test them out in Death Valley for a trip I'm leading in November. Right now their only use is to protect the underside from all the...

Same opinion here. Red Top in my 4runner lasted 2 years in mild calif temps. Replaced with platinum diehard-no complaints. Just bought one for my Tundra, since my current battery is starting to slip.

Yep, valve seals will need to be done, sooner if I can't get it smogged w/o doing that first. Trimming the rear bumper is on the list, might stay w/the 33's so I don't have to re-gear. Still on the fence about the body lift, but if I do that I'll look into a g tank, tuck. Skids and sliders...

New to the Mitsubishi group, but not to ExpoPortal. Just purchased a 98 Montero w/winter package, 147k on the clock. There are a number of folks responsible for this transgression on my part; namely “nckwltn” for showing me on a couple DV trips what a stock 99 w/tires could accomplish, and...
