I believe I did OEM. But don’t quote me on that. I had a local shop do it. I feel that. It’s a much nicer (and more costly) vehicle so I definitely treat it a little nicer on trail. The one area the montero really shined was snow wheeling. Hard to beat that IFS/IRS flat belly with big tires and...

Ah, thought I had gone back and updated this thread...guess not. I ended up selling it a few years ago. Kept giving me trouble and parts availability was getting more and more scarce. Sold it to a gentleman who flew in from Virginia I believe and drove it back. Downgraded to a 5th gen 4runner...

Very impressed by the outpost's sand performance this weekend. Very. Pulled this camper (about 3,000 lbs loaded and wet) plus ~700 lbs of 2 humans, 1 large dog, and gear in the truck onto the sandy beach to camp. Aired down to 18 psi on all four corners of the truck and 25 psi on the camper...

Update: I've now put about 10,000 miles on my set of tires (LT 285/65r18). Still quite happy but road noise has increased a little with the miles. Visually they don't appear to be wearing abnormally or quickly but they're now a touch louder than a wildpeak at3w but still quieter than a ko2...

I don't recall to be 100% honest with ya.. It was one of the facebook montero groups but I don't remember who made it for me. There are links for free 3d printing files out there but I just don't have a printer. Someone offered to print it for me.

Glad it helps! I couldn't find much info on them out their either but when I saw them for sale at $237 a pop I gambled on it and I'm glad I did! I was very pleasantly surprised. I'd buy them again for sure.

I've had a set of Outpost AT on my 2011 LX570 for a couple thousand miles now so wanted to share my 2 cents. Performance can be very vehicle specific and subjective so take with grain of salt. CO based, just a little south of Denver. Haven't gotten to wheel with them yet, but plenty of snow...

I felt a pretty noticeable difference on both my gen 1s after putting 1" spacers on them

Thanks! I was actually the one finding things to copy from your thread haha. I was pretty pleased with that bumper. Aside from having to cut off the light tabs from the bumper (which you can order it without) and adapting the frame horns, it almost felt like it was meant for it The spacers...

Well ladies and gents, she's gone. Feels like the end of an era. New owners took her home on Friday. Sad moment--crazy how a chunk of metal can invoke such strong emotions, but she's off to a good home and will be well taken care of. This will be last time I'm in a Montero for the...

Washed her up and took some glam shots today. I'm on the fence, but leaning towards selling her. In the last year I've probably barely driven her 1,000 miles. It's fun to drive around town and off road, but it's a bit small for longer drives with the two of us and our two large german...

New glass in up front!

Initial impressions: So much better than the KYB Gas adjusts. The KYBs made the truck feel like a go-kart, in a bad way. Harsh on every type of road surface and just made the truck plain uncomfortable to drive around. These are a significant improvement. However, I do feel that the...

Bilsteins in. Gonna give her a good shakedown tomorrow.

Picked up a front skid plate off of marketplace a little bit ago and got around to cutting and test fitting it up today. I was thinking about just fabricating my own from scratch, but I do like the style of the stamped steel stock ones so I went with it. Also scored a pair of brand new-open...

Thanks! While I would love the convenience of a bolt-on affair, I'm not really in love with the looks of the ADD either. And honestly the jeep bumpers are so cheap that even if you had to pay a fab shop to do the mounting for you it's not that crazy expensive.

No mods for the 31s! They'll fit up and clear just fine with everything stock.

If you want OK mpg 265/70/17 100%. Stick to C load instead of D or E.

Finally had some time the last couple weekends to finish up the bumper. Overall it actually wasn't too much work. For the bumper all I had to do was cut off the light mounts for the square lights and cut some length off the frame mounting points. For the frame of the truck I cut off about 2...

Sneak peek of what's coming next! Like my other 2 monteros this bumper is also made for a jeep. Though this time I'm using an XJ bumper instead of JK like the last two. After some cutting of the bumper and frame horns I was able to do a half decent mock up. It's going to take quite a bit...
