Good to hear another Monty has been fixed up and put back on the road! I am looking forward to the possibility of you putting the 4M40 in there! I've also got the 6G74 which is a great motor but have thought a diesel would be sweet. Are you planning on mating it to the factory auto transmission...
Do you know if that 96 ECM is the same as the 94 (plugs the same and all). Thing thats annoying about the 94 ECM is it's not OBDii so scan tools dont work and such. Thought if maybe I got a later model one for the 6g74 it might work and have the right protocalls.
Hey all! Just recently got a 94 Montero SR with just over 100K! Used to have a CRV but it had it's limits so I knew I needed to upgrade and get something more capable. Only have tires as an upgrade so far but there will be more to come for sure. Stoked to be part of the Montero gang!
Montero by...
Yeah your 89 looks like it was just driven off the show room floor! I'm hopin to find a 92-00 but I need to be patient and not just get the first one I find. Want it to be solid and at least decently taken care of. I like that it's unique! Get tired of all the toyotas and jeeps cuz they all look...
Man I’m jealous! I’ve been looking for a Montero to get in before they get any harder to find. I live in Bend and have only seen a 2nd gen and a 2.5. Hopin I’ll have one soon cuz I want something more capable. Got some good lookin rigs though man. “thumbs up”
Awesome build so far! Been really looking into the Delica as my next adventure rig. Either this or a Montero/Pajero though that would be for more serious off roading which I'm not sure if I'll be doing that kind of thing or not which is why the Delica is still a consideration. I know power isnt...
There was a little bit of rattle in the center of it where the back was coming in contact with the tailgate. I just added some felt tape to the tailgate and it’s quiet now!
well serious offroading I wouldn't do but it hasn't let me down yet. Been taking it all over central Oregon and done great so far. Just did some snowy trails this weekend. Wasn't the easiest at times mind you but I didn't get stuck so that's something haha! But the newer ones I wouldn't do it...
I'm sure there is but I'm not completely sure since I haven't really looked into it. Reason I wouldn't want to do that is then gas mileage would go down even more. The tire size I'm running isn't that much bigger than stock so I don't have that much of a loss in power.
Well I recently had some time to get a couple more additions to the V. I decided that I wanted to have an extra work space and area to cook on when out in the back country. So I ordered a fold up table from Front Runner Outfitters for swing out tailgates. Install wasn't too hard thankfully, just...
Haha! Yeah the hazard switch is jdm. I just liked that it was different. euro version crv came with headlight washers as well and I've found a few people selling the nozzles and the correct pump, so eventually I'll set that up once money permits. If shipping isn't too much I found crv headlight...
