Recreational park. It was supposed to be all safe and what not. Didn't see a need to test waters. 3 feet to left or right and it was perfect. I happened to hit a hole. Left rear wheel is what went. Trying to get out caused me to dig up front.

So sad to post this.... I had so many more adventures planned. She was slow up hills and we had to be towed a couple times to a mechanic while on a trip but we always made it home. I only owned her for a couple years but the memories will last forever.
I was driving at night around 40mph and took my eyes off the road for a split second, my front right wheel caught a parked car. I then flipped and slid on my drivers side until coming to a stop. I couldn't get out through the sunroof since I had the rack on and was freaking out a bit. The side windows were broken and razor sharp so couldn't climb out that way either. Just as I was about to kick out my windshield a passer by took my solar panel and broke the windshield so I could get out. The looks on peoples eyes as I squeezed out I will never forget. I am still pretty shaken up. I thank my lucky stars I was by myself and there were no major injuries.
I have been looking at what will replace her and I look at trucks, diesels, vans etc but I come back to a montero. I think I want to go with a 2003 or newer montero or if I can find a low mileage gen 2.5. I will be checking the craigslist finds frequently!

Nope, I have two pieces of 2x4 I cut and nailed them together as a cushion and it work perfectly.
The rock sliders were definitely part of the plan but didn't make it on time for the trip.

Hi all! After lurking for ages I decided I ought to join in the fun. Some beautiful rigs are in this thread, I'll add my baby to the mix.
A few years back I picked up this 1998 Gen 2.5 with rear locker and ~150k miles. Did a variety of basic maintenance to get it up and running well, then cranked the torsion bars and swapped shocks, mounted some 32" Cooper Discoverer STTs, and pulled out the rear seats to build a sleeping platform and drawer system in the back. Also painted the wheels blue and did a variety of other fun little projects throughout.
I can't remember all the trips I've taken her on, but we've explored much of the Southwest. Perhaps I'll post a few belated trip reports later, but for now, here are a few of my favorite pics!
