Thanks for the responses. No HG repair just a little OCD about flushing all the old coolant mixture out and starting over. Figure I have between 4-5 quarts in the block of distilled water, guess I'll go the concentrated route and mix accordingly. thanks

I looked around the Mitsubishi forum but didn't see an answer. When replacing the coolant it would seem that about 35-40% stays in the block. Do folks usually pull the engine coolant drain plugs to empty the block (if so where are they located-looked in FSM but didn't see them callout), if not...

Bikerjosh's Montero @nckwltn they are Hancook 32x 11.5 -15. Was too lazy to air them down so they had about 35-37 psi in them. Need to plan another DV trip.

tyring to conserve tires by only driving on 3 at a time. :sombrero:

Bumper lights, roof lights, subwoofer, horns, eventually aux fan, hence figured engine compartment was best location wise.

I don't know it would be close I think given the height of the blue sea box, also it would make getting into the factory fuse box a pain since you'd have 6 separate wires going into Blue Sea and a big wire going to battery. I'd think you would need some extra slack built in. I should have it by...

Sorry, I should have specified this was more to get an idea of where folks with gen 2 or 2.5 Monteros wedged the fuse box since space is so tight. I've installed one before, but in a 4runner there is a lot more room as I was able to build a bracket to hold 4 relays and the blue sea fuse box in...

Anyone ever mounted another fuse box in the engine to deal with accessories? I realized that an intermittent starting problem was due to a broken(ok, not completely broken yet) positive lead to the battery. As I was looking in the engine bay I noticed that all the extra wires, fuses, and relays...

Hope to test them on Saturday. Had to clearance one of the angle iron braces to clear diff case edge.

148k I think not serviced yet.

BTW-if you find OEM skids you can always re-enforce them with angle iron. One of my local friends w/ a Gen 2, was looking at the transfer case skid that "KIRK" built and copied the idea for re-enforcing the front two skids. Have them installed but haven't tested them yet. A little tough to...

Nice job Nick. How the hell do you not have raccoons or rats living in your Montero with all those food scraps? :coffeedrink:

Started replacing my driver side CV joint/axle. Went well until I needed three hands to get the steering knuckle/hub/brake disk back bolted up. Waiting for my buddy to come over. :sombrero:

Cave Cave area referenced above is the "Reward Mine" outside of Independence, CA. Took my group through there on a DV trip in April of 2014.

Details, details, details. :coffeedrink: Does look really clean from the pictures. Funny that the ad mentions, wear & tear, dings etc.

Oh come on, where are the pics? :coffee:

Installed skid plates and replaced broken grill Bolted up the new skids and replaced the cracked broken plastic grill with a piece of expanded metal. Also noticed the majority of my driver side inboard CV boot is gone. Whoops, looks like it is tie for a new axle, probably been like that for...

I was under the impression that up through maybe 96' was ODB1? :sombrero: I could be wrong, as I seem to be more often lately.

Finished painting my re-enforced skids. Just waiting for the paint to cure before bolting them up.

I think I have this going on with my 98. It does have OME shocks. Started sounding like I had a loose body panel or something. My buddy hopped in the truck with me yesterday and after the first "boom" he looked at me and said something to the effect of "What are you special? That is coming from...
