I'm very familiar with long term projects myself and have two in the garage. I never realized that there was a Montero without low range. Are you sure it doesn't have a low range? Struts and bushings should go a long ways to help with ride quality, as would tires.

The tires are new, Yokahama Geolander AT. Shocks are probably old as hell. They were on it when we got it, and my boy drove it for 3 years. Here she is...
Still not sure why I can't get it to go into low, but it works in high, and high locked. Not sure why there are two versions of high either unless one has a center diff that allows for some slippage. I'm used to old school stuff where you always get a 50/50 split with the t-case. If I used 4x4, I just go to high lock. I do know that the little 4x4 idiot light shows the front axle light blinking all the time it's in 2 high, so something is amiss with the system, but it works in 2 high, and it works in 4 high, so that's all I need for the snow. I can't really afford to put too much money into it. All my money (and there ain't much when you live on VA disability) is going towards the CJ7 build. I need to get the window fixed on the driver's door. It doesn't go down, and that is infuriating at the drive through window...
I did put a old set of HID lights on it tonight. They were leftovers off an old CJ5 I had. (same one that donated the powertrain for the CJ7)
