1992 Montero - Already built, build thread!

[ca18_sean]

I bought the 2 gallon kit from Monstaliner for $260 because I plan on doing the bed of that Tacoma in the background... that's my new work truck

1 gallon black is about $130 ($150 if you buy the kit with roller and pan). There was plenty left over even after I did both bumpers and skid plates. I also did my boat deck with tan Monstaliner and it turned out really nice! The tintable one is a little more, but they have a ton of colors if you were trying to color match.

After:

As for rims, with 15x8 rims and 35x12.5 tires, nothing sticks out past the fender flares on my SR so you could go a bit wider if you wanted. My backspacing is 3.75 or something like that.

The 16x8 has 4 inches of backspacing, so that would probably work too...

I just doublechecked in an old post where I noted the specs. My rim specifications are 15x8 w/ a -18mm offset (http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Number=264784&page=19)

I've always thought mine was a neutral offset but this just goes to show how failed my memory is now LOL...

You were right on with your first post. 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing is -19

Sean, is that rear bumper and ARB bumper for the Pajero? I really like it!

 

[ca18_sean]

Rear bumper was custom made by the previous owner of my truck, front bumper is ARB but for a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

You can kind of see in the picture I posted with my front bumper off that the ARB is just being used as a shell. The winch is in a square metal case that attaches to the frame rails, and the ARB bumper attaches to the case.

Sean, did you ever end up getting the vintage white wheels?

Can't answer the question for him but I wouldn't want to run solid wheels with disc brakes, especially on a heavier truck. Haven't ever tried it, so I could be wrong, but it seems like you'd be begging for brake fade on longer descents and perpetually warping discs.

What rims are the ones on it in the first pics.

See if I can do this right. (Using my phone)

What are you trying to do?? All you did was post a picture of someone's Montero.

That's what I was doing. Guess it worked was wondering what rims where on it in that pic.
