Monty the 3rd Gen Montero

Super nice build! Following your progress closely as I intend to go King’s by Fall. Your valving/spring rates will likely help Filthy zero right in on what I am after. Thanks for sharing. What are your weights? Can’t read the image.

Hi there! Thanks for the kind words below are the weights

Top is unloaded weight. Bottom is loaded weight with gear for myself and my friend..


Do you have an Instagram?

I have installed Kings, if anyone wants to read up on the install and issues I have made a separate thread.

So you want to put King shocks on a Third Gen Montero...

Below is a write-up on my experience with purchasing and installing the King shocks. Once my issues are resolved I will be doing a review on how they perform on and off-road. Why Kings? I have been running Old Man Emu shocks for the past year and they are a great setup for the money. The OMEs...

It is a U-haul hitch and was like that when I bought it. A lot of folks have been asking me. When the weather clears up I will grab a part number

Any update on this part number!?

Any update on this part number!?

I took a look under and unfortunately there is no part number or model number.

Wired up my Rough country light controller, pretty cheap alternative to the switch pro or s-pod.

I was able to mount it to the 6 disk CD changer location. I used a XLS storage compartment part to use as the mounting location for the switch. I wanted it to look as clean and OEM as possible.

I hadn't heard of that light controller before; it looks like a great alternative to the s-pod. At $200, you're right at that point where you can barely DIY a nice system for cheaper. Its a shame all the switches are the same though.

For 200$ I’ll be labeling them myself! Haha
