    Third Gen Montero- Question

    Switching to a manual transfer case is certainly an option. Early 2001 Monteros had them so you can get them for cheap in junkyards (just look for a leather boot around the tcase shifter in the vehicle) so I believe it would be a straight forward swap as MontySquareo mentioned (with a few extra...

    Third Gen Montero- Question

    4H is Mitsubishi speak for AWD. When you go into 4H the center diff light on the dash should NOT illuminate. All 4 tire lights should go solid green and that's it. If the center light is coming on solid (though I suspect it would be blinking) then you have a transfer case fault which is not...

    Has anyone successfully installed a Tre E locker? (TE110 Front Locker)

    Hi all, I spoke to TRE about the need for clearancing the various parts of the lockers posted here and they confirmed that they are aware of this and that they believe it to be a normal part of the fitment/installation process. In the elocker instructions it even says to bend the anti-rotation...
