Some of you might remember me from a few years back. My 2005 Mitsubishi Montero had the dreaded piston killer issue where one of the butterfly valves on the intake manifold fell inside the engine causing catastrophic damage to the engine’s internals. Unfortunately, due to the scarcity of 3rd...

Alright, 2 years ago Monty (2005 Montero Limited) had the dreaded butterfly valve fall into the valve train. I was able to recover the butterfly, but the screws probably made it into the engine, it sucked and Monty has been dormant ever since. Bought a Toyota Tacoma and moved to the Toyota side...

So, I recently bought a 2013 Tacoma SR5 (non TRD). I am very much loving the truck and have taken it on a very light off road trail once so far. I was satisfied with the off-road performance of the truck and I think the 4x4 system with the standard TRAC feature worked surprisingly well. However...

Getting rid of Monty, it was a difficult decision but it has to be done. The butterfly valve fell in the intake. The dreaded piston eater. I've spent lots of money on this car but don't have anymore time to fix it or the desire to, so replaced it with a 2013 Tacoma and I've been very happy with...

I don't see any videos with non TRD Tacomas going off-road. Is that because they suck off road? Everything I see is TRD offroad models doing all kinds of things. Bought this as my all around vehicle but now I am feeling kinda remorseful that I didn't spend the extra cash for a TRD. I don't do...

Having a hard time locating a thermostat for my montero 2005 LTD 3.8. I can't seem to find any information on the 3.8 engine online. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Any Idea where to get a lift kit for a 2005 Montero? Went off-road with Monty and I feel like I need a bit more clearance. A Jeep Cherokee with a 3" lift outwitted Monty on some obstacles where I bottomed out.

Searching for a Snorkel for my 2005 Monty. Any recommendations?

Heading down to Moab this weekend. First time really over-landing. Taking the kids and wife, what trails do you recommend? is hells revenge too much for a 3rd gen monty, mostly stock?

Very frustrated right now. I haven't even had the car for a month. Driving down the highway at 75mph today, the car had a sudden loss of power, and service engine soon light came on. Drove 1 mile home from where I was, total loss of power, loud knocking noise from the engine. What could it be...

Alright, I know this is a debated topic. But I prefer diesel. There you go, I said it. I finally have the car I've waited to have for years (3rd Gen Montero). Long story short, I went to visit family members in the Dominican Republic back in 2006, and my uncle (wealthy guy) had (as he put it) a...

Bought this about a week ago: I've been wanting a Montero for a loooong time. And I finally have it. Needs a few things fixed, like the radio doesn't work or the DVD player. Everything else works flawlessly. Now, question: would 265/70r17 fit on this things without a lift and no rubbing...
