Looks good man. You will like those flaps cut off. I would have done the same but since I had the factory running boards they were already cut when I took them off. Now its time to get some sliders. :)
Finally was able to get some new shoes for the Paj. I just finished mounting them up. Will get to try them out next weekend on a run. They should be just a teeny bit grippier than my procomps were. Cant wait:smiley_drive:
I need to work out a few more details with my partner on somethings and then we should be ready within the month. I am going to build another one and will post up when its done. Thanks for the compliments.

Well I finally got around to finishing up my rear bumper this past week. It has just been tack welded. I decided to finally finish weld it and got it matching my montero. It just had black rattle can paint and so I herculined it to go with the rest of the monty. Anyways here are the pics.
Another very effective way to get a race out of a knuckle is to run a weld bead around the inside the inner race that is stuck in there. The weld contracts the race and a few hits with the hammer and its out. Better than loosing a skin with a hammer and cursing for half hour hitting it.
I have an 03 Monty XLS and cant complain a bit about it. They are overbuilt in the drivetrain and everywhere else mechanically I have found for the size of the vehicle. Other than normal maint I havent done a thing to it. Nothing has failed on it "mechanically" that was Mitsu's fault. No bugs...
X2 :iagree: ...I just have to give tony a hard time, and for the record if I was to get a different rig other than my monty my first choice would be LR's. The last thing i want to do is step on anyones toes with what I said. Run what you got and enjoy it.:)
Its gonna take a lot to get me...
Dont do it Tony....dont go to the "Dark side". You will spend more time fixing and carrying spare parts in the rig than you want. Just my .02 in a cliff notes version.
Man you havent been slacking in the mods dept to your monty. Its looking good. I have just been to busy with family and new...
I recently did the herculiner to my Monty and it was super easy. I actually sprayed it on using a Ceiling Texture gun and it turned out to be really easy and looked great. Just had to make sure to mask off a little more than a standard row of painters tape like you did. Also I have heard(Have...
Speaking from experience its a great reassurance to hear a big rock hit underneath now that you have all those done. Instead of cringing and then stopping to look what it damaged. And you will DEFINATELY find yourself tackling harder spots cause your not worried about damage underneath...
Cant wait to hear how this turns out...have been interested in doing this with my family for a week this summer......
Anxiously awaiting a detailed report.
I love the Monteros. All the way from the Dodge raider style up on through to the 2006 Gen 3s. I didnt used to be that way though and used to hate the way they looked until a friend told me to come for a ride in his 01 Gen3. I just didnt like the looks of them, but after riding and test driving...
