    Grandpa Builds A 2000 Montero

    I'm keeping the Montero for now. Several of you have asked about it since my last post. I can't bring myself to part with it for now. Thanks for asking. Nothing has changed with the Montero. It remains very reliable.

    Grandpa Builds A 2000 Montero

    Thanks for asking. I haven't been here in a while. No updates on the Montero. I use it regularly for local errands. Most of the updates are about me.

    Gen 3 Overheating at Idle?

    I have this issue. There have been issues with the gauge cluster temp registering high. A Google search can help you find the fix. You have to remove the gauges and resolder the connection. I think there is a YouTube video about this fix. I haven't done mine yet.

    I don't remember having to do anything to the bumper. I had to remove the ends of the frame horns and drill holes in the frame.

    Show me your "Adult" rigs and how you keep them running.

    When I was in high school I would go to the dealer when they got one of these in stock just to look. I so wanted one then. I guess I still do. Thanks for the pictures.

    I'm interested in what you come up with since I am looking specifically at the Alu-Cab awning and wall kit.

    awning/awning rooms and wind limits

    When using the awning and walls; what do you use to block the wind coming under the vehicle from the opposite side?
