    Chevy Colorado: aux lighting switch installed on turn signal stalk

    That's already in use for the amber fog lights! (y) I know some folks have sourced the OEM light switch with two aux switches, but this seemed more intuitive to me.

    Chevy Colorado: aux lighting switch installed on turn signal stalk

    I sold my trusty '01 Montero not long ago. We had a blast in that thing but it was becoming more challenging to find parts. Not that it needed much work at all, but...well, it was time. Its replacement is this '19 Colorado ZR2 Bison with the baby Duramax diesel. It came with this silly bumper...

    Routing coax to the roof rack

    You certainly could drill and install a through fitting, either a gasketed bulkhead fitting (how most coax penetrates the overhead in marine applications) or a coax penetration fitting, with a short length of coax to whatever mount you want to put on your rack.

    Weird Scratchy Sound

    Do some searching around here before you spring for the motor. A much more likely culprit is the accumulator. When it fails, the motor has little spasms trying to boost pressure. Other owners and I have posted in this thread about replacing them. It's child's play and the part is not expensive.

    Gen3 Tire Size

    My Gen III loves its Les Schwab Wild Country A/T tires in 265/70-16. It's a family hauler, commuter, towing rig, and backcountry adventure rig. They're quiet on the highway and demonstrate superb handling in wet or dry. They are outstanding in snow & ice. They rocked the slickrock in Moab, did a...

    Flashing Center Differential Light on Gen 3.5 Ltd.

    Wait a minute...if you already have changed the oil, there's no reason to do so again. This sort of problem is likely to come from sludge and goo when the oil is old; if you've replaced it already then you know that this wasn't the issue.

    Replacing Front Wheel Bearings on Gen III

    The bearings come as described in this thread and they're really not expensive at all. I can't speculate what it might take to actually get new bearings into the hub, but I suspect that it would cost you more in shop labor than it would be worth. Water crossings in and of themselves won't hurt...

Try to google "import JDM vehicle" and see what...

    03 Montero Limited spare part availability (Front-ECU)

    Long shot but easy to fix...I had this exact problem recently on my Dodge Caravan. It made no sense because all the individual parts tested fine. A couple of online users in a Dodge forum suggested something and it solved the problem. The main battery ground was a little corroded, just a bit...

    Flashing Center Differential Light on Gen 3.5 Ltd.

    Posted my own thread on this a few months back (Gen III) but have still never learned the cause. Unlike most such problems, all the various modes work perfectly well. It's just that the orange lamp blinks after several miles of driving in 2WD. Turning the ignition off resets it, but it always...

    EyeInTheSky's Gen 3 Budget Build Thread

    My GF and I spent an entire day tracing the wiring on a 1957 TR3 that we were going to drive in a rally. The entire day.... Turned out one of the battery leads was off. :squint:

    The KaliPAK- Store all your WEEKLY power needs in a 14lb Battery Pack! VIDEO

    Yeah, we get that you're a new vendor, but spamming every damned sub-forum when you're a brand-new member is extremely uncool and unwelcome.j Reported to management.

    2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero Gen 3 Strut Spacer Diagram

    I have spacers ready to install, and will be ordering new bushings to include during the job. Thanks SO MUCH for your detailed report on this project!

    Mitsubishi Monteros few questions from future owner.

    The Gumtree auto wreckers ad you linked specified that the 4M40 in that '01 was a turbo.

    Sabre's Gen III Project: cladding removal and trail armor

    It looks like they touch the underside of the body in this shot but they stand off about half an inch.

    Sabre's Gen III Project: cladding removal and trail armor

    No, my truck didn't come with running boards and I've never seen how they're mounted. If you look at the rails in primer you see that they have three mounting points, each with a different shape. I mocked up the three shapes in cardboard to get a good tight fit. Each is comprised of a flat steel...

    Mitsubishi Monteros few questions from future owner.

    I live right across the border from British Columbia, where JDM vehicles abound. I talked to a Mitsubishi mechanic up there about importing a 4M41 from Japan and slipping it into my '01. It makes no sense from a cost-benefit perspective. As was stated above, you could buy a couple of nice rigs...

    Sabre's Gen III Project: cladding removal and trail armor

    I never took any metal shop classes in school and always wished that I had. A few years ago I took a 1-day welding class at the local tech college, bought a welder on Craigslist, and started practicing. YouTube is a great teacher...I've found that I really enjoy metalwork!

    Gen 3 Roof Rack Options

    No need to cross the roof. The monocoque body is extremely strong and the location of the OEM cargo rails is more than up to the task. The factory rails are removable, and from there you can install a commercial track or build one as I did. Whatever kind of rack you attach to it, those mounting...
