    2002 Through 2004 Road and Track Magazines

    These are all in very good shape. I basically read through them once and stored them away in magazine specific holders. No moisture or sunlight. I'm missing one issue from 2002. I'd prefer to meet with the buyer in the Burbank/Glendale area. If there isn't a local buyer I'll consider...

    Looking for a GenII gas tank

    Folks, I'm trying to locate a used gas tank (and shield) for my 96 SR. I think the LS models have the same tank. If anyone has one in SoCal or can point the way I'd greatly appreciate it. Obviously no rust and no leaks/damage please. For the junk yard suggestions, please note I'd not in the...

    Need help with a power window (doesn't move)

    A few days ago I noticed the rear left window was down and would not roll up. Upon examination I could hear the motor working (and struggling) but very little window movement. Once I had the door apart, I was again playing around with the power window to see if I could see what it was doing...

    Cautionary Tale for Montero Owners Who Need To SMOG Their Car

    As usual a month ago I received the notice from the CA DMW to renew the registration on my 96 Montero SR 3.5 (OBD II). Part of the request was the semi-annual SMOG test. I know a bit about the process and the system and I've done this many times. No big deal I thought. So a week or two later...

    Need info on removing the starter

    I think it's time to rebuild the starter. I looked at the FSM but I have a couple of questions as it's not clear to me. First, where is the starter and how do I get to it. Is it from the bottom on the passenger side? Second, do I need to remove any oil cooler lines or other items to get to it...

    Trans Temp Gauge Install in GenII?

    I'd like to monitor the trans oil temp in my 96 SR. But I can't seem to find any info. General ideas include using a T fitting to tap into the existing one (for AT light) sensor. Anyone have any details or write up? Is greatly appreciate it.

    Found a Mitsubishi dismantler in Sun Valley (So Cal) with lots of Monteros

    I live relatively close to Sun Valley, and there are a bunch of dismantlers along with pick and pull parts places. But most don't have anything Mitsubishi. I found this out today while I was looking for anything Mitsubishi Montero. During my search I was referred to Pit Stop Auto Wrecking on...

    Middle row seat release cable broken, what part do I need?

    There is a cable that runs from the seat back to the seat bottom which releases the inside latch for the purposes of folding the entire seat forward (when needing maximum cargo space). This cable has snapped right where the seat back and bottom meet. When you fold the seat, it causes the cable...

    How to tell if broken attend is powered?

    I've decided to fix my broken antenna. The actual mast is broken with nothing obvious in the hole. Apparently there are different antenna options on the Montero. I looked in the owners manual for a antenna fuse but saw no mention. When I turn on the stereo I don't hear a motor either. So short...

    Sunroof Woes on GEN2

    Since owning this car the sunroof has never worked. More specifically, it goes back about a foot then slows and stops. Afterwards, when closing it, it moves forward a few inches slowly and then again stops. You have to help it along to get it to close. So last week, I removed the glass from...

    12V socket not working, but fuse is fine

    On my GenII, I had an accessory plugged in to the cig lighter socket (by the handbrake) for a few minutes. I'm sure it put a bit of a load on the circuit. Now there is no power coming out of the socket but the fuse is fine. I switched fuses, but no dice. I'll probably have to pull things...

    Roof Rack Options?

    I have a friend who has a CURT roof rack (http://www.amazon.com/Curt-18115-Roof-Mounted-Cargo/dp/B004O844DS). He is willing to give this to me for a cheap price. But on my OEM roof rack, one of the cross bars is missing. I believe the side bar is actually damaged, so I can't utilize it to...

    GENII Radio Antenna Question

    My stereo antenna is physically broken. It looks like it was broken off at some point. I'm looking to fix this. But as usual I have some questions. Looking at the manual, it indicates that if it is the motor, then I gotta get the fender off or the passenger footwell area in order to get to...

    I can't for the life of me replace a freakin' headlight bulb!

    I spent an good hour on it, and gave up. Ready to take it to a mechanic. Basically, I put the bulb in (which never sits tight), then put the locking ring over it, but then I can't get the locking ring to lock. It must be something where the bulb is not sitting in all the way or maybe the...

    Squealing belt since going off roading

    Since the Jan 1st trip to Cleghorn, it sounds like one of my belts squeals for a few seconds after a start the car. This happens when the car is cold. The odd thing is that I had the belts changed a couple of days before the trip. All I can think of is driving through the mud may have...

    ASUS Eee PC Netbook, like new, box, recovery partition; ready for anywhere

    I've decided to put up my ASUS 1005HA netbook for sale. I bought this for the convenience, but frankly never really used it as my iPhone does most of everything I need. This unit has basically been collecting dust. There is no damage anywhere and everything works. The original box is also...

    I recently changed tire sizes and I have one of my previous tires left. There is no cracking and I'd estimate the tread to be 85% or better. You can use this on your truck/SUV or carry it as a spare.

    Do I need to drop the headliner to replace the sunroof motor?

    My sunroof is very slow to open and close, it basically needs my assistance. The tracks don't seem to have any debris issues. Given the low cost of a used motor, if I want to swap it out, is it as simple as removing the cover (where the motor can be manually turned)? Or do I need to drop...

    Strange issue with my SR: idles at 1.5K to 2K, but normal when AC is on!

    I've never seen such an issue on ANY car....and I've owned a few European cars. Basically, the car is idling at 1,500 to 2,000 RPM. This is after it is warmed up or even after a 40 mile drive on the freeway. It could be in gear, park or neutral. The idle in park or neutral weel creep up to...
