I'm chiming in with the same issue. The colder it is, the more it has to crank. It may sort of fire up but immediately dies and I have to crank it over some more. Putting the pedal all the way down so far has worked within a couple seconds to get it to fire up and stay running. Once it fires up...

They do have different front springs for diesel or gas, and different rear springs for swb or lwb. I don't know what other differences the Australian models might have. "Made a stiff spring rate just to get the desired ride height" I don't doubt that.

Yeah if I can locate the differentials I want then I'll just swap the whole assembly over, fairly easy. Interesting, I'll keep that in mind. It's crazy, I can find running even decent-looking 3rd gen Montero XLSs for $2000 by me. One I found nearby has a "new" 60,000 mile engine in it but the...

Just read your thread, pretty sweet engine swap. Can you do a start up and drive video?

I'm currently on the lookout for a set of 4.9 gears with the LSD. My truck is such a dog with 33s and being at elevation plus all the cargo. Where did you locate yours? Also how do you know whether it's the LSD, any way to tell from the VIN? From what I understand I need to look for either the...

They are supposed to be the correct springs and weight range for the truck so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It would kind of suck to go with a different spring because these are the somewhat pricey Dobinsons. I have an '02, no traction control or vsc. Do you know who makes an adjustable trailing arm? Custom job?

Just a little update now that I've had this IMS kit for almost two years. No issues. Now that things have settled in I like the combo better. I've noticed it rides better with some weight in the truck eg some people and camping gear is better than empty especially on harsh terrain like rocky...

PLH: Funny you should ask, I had the Wildpeak AT in 265/75/17 and they had a horrible vibration at speed. Made the steering wheel shake something awful. For the first couple months I was convinced it was my wheel hub rings (I'm using some toyota weheels). After my 3rd set of custom-made aluminum...

Reviving this thread to say that the drivetrain vibrations are surprising in my truck as well. If I look anywhere at the interior of the truck through the rearview mirror, I can see it all vibrating and buzzing if I'm going any more than 40mph. You hear it too. Also there is a very distinct...

Sorry I haven't updated earlier regarding the Dobinson's IMS kit. It's the regular load (up to +200lbs) kit fhat gives a 2 inch lift, for the guy who asked. Took a few weeks for everything to settle in and stop squeaking and the rear ride height seems to have settled down which is good, it...

Hey can anybody get me a part number for the hub dust cap, part number 2 in OP's picture? I had to destroy mine to get them off they were fused solid to the hub. Haven't been able to find it online.

Hey @sedole I've got the same wheels on my third gen, also in Colorado. I'm having issues with vibrations on the highway, I think it's my hub rings. Where did you get yours from? What size exactly did you order, do you know? I got my rings from Motorsport tech and they messed up and made them...

Here is a picture of my lug nuts. As far as I can tell they are identical to the Toyota ones. What I did today was reinstalled the front wheels with the plastic hub rings and layer of tape but I put the wheel on with tapered lug nuts from another car to help center the wheel, then took those...

I ordered two sets of hub rings, both in 67.1/ 106.2. One set is aluminum from motorsport-tech and they area hair too big to go in the wheel (I even tried putting the rings in the freezer and the wheels in the sun and then pounding them in but to no avail). I told the guy on the phone when I...

Seems too high in the back.

I have an 02, from what I gather they don't have TC. This is the rear, the front is not as extreme. The lower spring pads in the rear I think are adding extra height. They're easily a quarter inch thick and being that the springs are pretty far in on the control arms that could equate to, I...

Probably 40 degrees lol, and lots of positive caster. It's kind of a mess. Should have left it alone!

Dobinson's are installed on the Monty. The ones in the OP. I opted for the strut top caps and assembly option. Installation was as straight-forward as it can be although doing the fronts aren't a ton of fun. Seems like quality stuff. The shocks are a little beefier even than the Bilstein 5100s I...

I think they'll work, will see shortly.

The wheels I got (Toyota 4runner/ FJ cruiser TRD) call for flat-seat nuts. The stock Mitsubishi lug nuts should work, right?
