Maintenance maintenance maintenance!!! I would ensure your fluids are up to date, timing belt, water pump and Valve cover gaskets are done. Diff fluids and transfer case are good, coolant flush, if uncertain when these items were addressed prior. And maybe plugs while you do the valve gaskets...

Back in a Montero finally after about 4 years. Had a 2003 Anniversary I bought with 130k miles back in 2015 then sold it years later in HI at 245k. Found this GEM 💎 of a 2005 and convinced the wife I NEEDED WE NEEDED it. 99k miles one owner clean car fax. Just had the VCG, timing belt and...

I would think it’s just a rental? Or car service maybe. I know companies like Avis and Hertz Enterprise do car sales. On Avis there are a TON of 4 Runners on there 2020 that are at significant discount I think and they are running at 35k miles. A lot of them are sold out of Colorado and I’m just...

So I came back to report I was missing some pieces and wanted to get some other parts too and do everything at once. Still couldn’t get the large hub nut loose. I just want to make certain the driver side nut shown in the photo it still is lefty loosy correct!?! Not reverse threads? It’s a...

I ended up buying a whole new OE Upper and Lower Arms from Partsouq, along with inner and outer tierods, sway bar end links, and after getting some quotes around hawaii and the time it would take them to push out the old bushings and down time the price difference wasn't that much. My current...

Yeah I just found out about Partsouq from Marco at LUSO overland. He hooked me up with the suspension and assembled them for me, a service he's no offering. I just went with the standard height and standard Spring rate. Nothing lifted or HD really needed. I measured my old spring and shock...

They are pretty rusty in some spots as well as the hardware. For the price of all new bushings and the quote I got to press out the old ones and press new ones in I just spend a bit more $$ and got all new Arms that are genuine Mitsubishi Parts. Not sure if you have used Partsouq before but I...

Right now I just have my garage. However, on the base that I work on there is a skill center where I think I'm just going to take the truck. They have lifts to use and a myriad of tools and huge extension bars and wrenches. I'm replacing literally everything! - Bilstein Front and Rear shocks -...

Well about 2 years later the left side is pretty much ready to be replaced. I ordered two from Rock auto because I’m replacing the whole front suspension and I just through well I would do them both at the same time. The passenger side looks fresh after about 40k miles since replaced but the...

Would it be pretty easy to mount a front light like that with the bumper still installed after I cut the front horizontal bumper pieces? Or is the bumper really difficult or straight forward to take off? I'm interested in a light similar and am lazy and don't feel like removing the bumper if I...

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but can you show more info on how you mounted the Hella 500 spotlights to the bumper? or made brackets? I'm looking to add the spotlights or the roof light bar like yours and just could use a bit more direction on how to wire them all up. Thanks!

Still following this thread! Can't wait to get the new shocks in! Thanks for all the help so far!

Such a GREAT thread! I read each page and awesome to see your progress. I probably missed it but how many miles are you on currently? My Montero is pretty stock besides some AT tires but even as stock it's been one of my favorite vehicles I've ever owned! The trips all over with the RTT have...

Oh yeah I’ve alreadt decided. After I calculated what I can save in labor it’s a no brainer. If it can at least last me till I leave here as I think I mentioned 2021 spring then I think it will be worth it.

Yeah I have buddies who can help me out. I have a 4 day weekend coming up in sept. Friday and Monday off. Sounds like a great weeeked to tackle it myself. I did the research. Found a DIY for the hub and O2 seem straight. I’ll worry about struts and rears shock later down the road. I’m motivated...

Looks like a solid write up. I have 176k miles on the old Monty and it seems like the left side has just gone. Wooo wooo woo noise coming from the wheel. I’ll check wheel temp though like mentioned after a drive. I have jacks and stands, decent wrench set, and socket set. Good hammer and lots of...

Yeah I know what y’all mean. To work and back isn’t crazy then the weekend beach trip I put on about 400 miles in 10 days or a tank of fuel. I think I just was in price shock when I saw the initial estimate bill. I’ll do some more research and see about doing some of the work myself. I might be...

Yeah money is not really an issue just hate the feeling of tossing labor away. I have a good jack so I can def do the O2 sensors myself and see if that alleviates the problem of the CEL. I think if I dedicated a day to the wheel bearing I could do it as I'm pretty good at following directions. I...

Yeah I think I could probably do the suspension myself with the right tools and some of the forum stuff I found on here to Step by step. The Hub bearing looks a little more daunting although I've seen a replacement step by step too. And I'm sure with a proper lift which I could probably source I...

SO I've only had my Montero for about 3 years and I absolutely love the rig. I got it with 110k miles and I've racked up about 75k in the time I've owned it. Yes I've driven quite a lot, but the truck has taken me places I've never thought to go with another car or whatever. Since I've owned it...
