    Adding supplemental Fuse Box in 2.5 Montero?

    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...

    Opinions on monstaliner color for my green 2.5 gen.

    So somewhere in my Montero's past a PO (not the one I bought it from) tried to sand and repaint bumpers (note: over spray on headlight washer). It looks plenty ugly. Since I not very likely to swap bumpers anytime thought I'd coat the current silver areas with monstaliner. Down to either doing...

    Tundra gen 1 question regarding swithc blanks

    Ok, maybe it is my OCD, or Friday afternoon lull setting in, but dang it I have questions and someone out there must have answers. On my 06 SR5 DC, I have a number of blank switch plates and wonder what options were possible for those spots; maybe in a limited? thanks

    Gen 2/2.5 Mirror help

    Ok, so after going through 3 separate pick & pull yards and finding all the driver side power mirrors broken or missing I decided to try and fix mine. Problem, can't seem to get it back together. See below. I thought right and left spots were clips, but maybe just alignment guides. Got the...

    Scangauge and Ultra-gauge users -what collant/engine temps

    Just curious for those of you running either of the above OBD2 computers what kind of temps you are seeing? Cruising around town with ambient air temp mid 80's-low 90's I seem to be hanging in the 201-204 F range. Is this normal? Coolant level is good. thanks

    Basic electrical question regarding reverse lights.

    Been fixing a lot of little electrical lapses with Montero lately. Working on trying to figure out why only one reverse light works. Tried multiple bulbs, no difference. When I put the car in reverse and put a test light probe in the socket and attach the other side to the chassis I get a...

    Gen 2.5 front bumper question

    Howdy all Posted this in my build thread but didn't get any hits. I'm trying to add some off road lights the front of my bumper and wondering how to remove the silver plate in the middle of the bumper. It looks like to remove it I have to take the whole bumper off to get at the nuts. Anyone...

    Body Lift or not?

    So I was dead set (or so I thought) on doing a body lift on my new Montero. I have to say that with a OME suspension lift (shocks, and expedition springs in back), newly adjusted torsion bars to balance the height and 32 Dynapros truck seems pretty high. Ground to bottom of the pinch welds is...

    Driverside door lock acuator removal question

    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...
