The front will have a bit better travel if you disconnect the front sway bar, but nothing to write home about. You can trim the bump stops to gain a little more, maybe a gain of an extra two inches. But I believe the difference between the Montero and the trooper to be very minimal in the front.

Oil I agree, It likes you need to pull the valve cover on that side and replace the seals on the bottom of the spark plug tubes. How did the plugs on the other side look?

Bl Use the longer bolts that are available with the kit. I recommend spending a little bit extra on the grade 8 bolts.

Just the mounts.

Body lift Body lifts for Montero's-> www.4crawler.com Yes, you can run 35's with a 2" Body lift. A little cranking of the torsion bars in the front helps as well as runing an 8" wide rim with a little bit of outboard offset.

Towing Factory rated to tow 5K pounds, you will be fine. It has a nice trans cooler from the factory too.

It has sliding rear windows, and later style rims, so that means its at the oldest a 94. SR trim level so that one has the 3.5. If its a 94-6, it has DOHC. 97 Has the 3.5 SOHC, and the 4.2 diff gears, the last year before the bubble fenders came out in 98.

Spark plugs You can get to them without removing the plenumn on the 95...You will still need to remove a lot of bracketry and what not. Then you can remove the black plastic covers and get to them. Make sure you have an extention with the U-joint for your ratchet. If you want to do the wires...

Bumper added a synthetic rope and aluminum fairlead... Gen 1 bumpers and armor available at the link below

checkin in Havent updated this thread in a while.. I installed an ARB front locker and took it on the Dusy Ershim Trail last week..Good time and the Montero performed well. Full report here: http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1219731&an=0&page=0#Post1219731

reply In the US the rear locker was available starting in 92 and ending in the 00 models(although still avail overseas). The rear locker is most common in the 94-97 SR models, and was also included in the 98-00 models with the "cold weather package". The suspension seats are common in the 1st...

Tx Thanks guys. The wifey ordered the Nuvi 500 for me today. 199 on Amazon.

NUvi I was looking at the Nuvi's. I might go with one of those.

The wife is buying me a GPS for a late Fathers day gift and I am looking for advice from you guys. So I'll lay out the budget and what I'm looking for and hopefully you guys can recommend one. Right now I have an old hand-held e-trek, which works but am looking for a better & larger display...

91 Replaced the lead acid battery with a red top. Then I put some new speakers in the stock location in the back They fit nicely under the stock grill.

Seems like you got it covered. SWB is more fun IMO it just feels sportier. LWB is more practical and you can fit more passengers and gear into it. It all depends on what you are going to use it for. The LWB is a lot more stable on steep climbs and is less likely to lift up the front end...
