    Known Mitsubishi Montero LS 1991 3.0 Issues

    These are my issues with my own 91, have no idea if this is common. My moon roof leaks, does not work and the door window motors are wonky. Other then that its a fine beast. The automatic locking only works from the passenger side. Chicks don't dig it as much as I think they should. The...

    Monteros on craigslist

    Selling my 1989 carcass, all is good except the engine, I have a buyer, some company promising $600 and will be picking it up this coming Thursday here in Phoenix. If anyone wants it for parts or to restore all you have to do is beat $600 and Thursday. My number is 602 then 909 and finally...

    Conflicted no more, 1990 or 1999 as a daily driver?

    I know this sounds unlikely but check the coolant hoses behind the engine. This is where my 89 leaked from and it did not seem like it was coming from that location until the hose actually burst open.

    You have the same damage I have, replacing the valance and fender is not that expensive, the painting might be.

    Mine has the sun roof as well, I need to get in there and lubricate everything. Motor works but the window does not move.

    New OME Supsension Install on Monday

    I probably should have asked about the coil springs before I ordered the OME stuff, which is all paid for and fresh off the boat from Australia. Will be posting pics soon.

    New OME Supsension Install on Monday

    Is there a particular brand I should be looking for or looking out for as far as quality goes or are all the parts out there fairly the same?

    Nice, love that color, have been seriously thinking of painting my white Montero that color. The white is hard on the eyes here in the AZ sun, especially the hood while driving. I had the stock rims and small tires on when I first bought my '91 and I have to say that when I put my 265-75-16...

    If you like comfort, the 1st gen is probably not the way to go. That said, I drive the 1st gen and love it. I used to have a 55 willys wagon that had the original spring in your butt seats and no seat belts. It drove like a tractor and I loved it. Now I have the Montero and it reminds me of the...

    Does anyone's wife DD a Gen 1?

    My wife does not like it, especially compared to her 2005 Xterra. She does not like the bouncy seats, as she calls them, and the lack of power compared to the Xterra.

    Roof Rack Options?

    I have some clamps that I have bought just to see if that would be a good way to go about it, but I think it only works if you buy at least 3 pair for a LWB as they are kind of weak compared to what I intend to build. Also as I plan to put whatever I build on the market it will need to be more...
