September 2023 and I'm adding an additional fix option for the rear coolant hose tee replacement. One of the tees on my 2002 Montero Limited (167,000 miles) blew up on Saturday night and left me stranded in a parking lot with a strict and expensive towing policy that I wanted to avoid. So I...

Thanks for the build thread and the videos on YouTube. Your rig has been my primary inspiration for my own Gen 3 build that I'll be starting soon. Right now I'm working on choosing wheels and I noticed that you mentioned a few times that you wished you had been able to go with 0' offset...

Is anyone out there running a pro comp wheel on a Gen 3 Montero/Pajero? I read in a previous post that a pro comp series 51 wheel (16x8) wouldn't clear Gen 3 calipers. I'm looking at the 69 series wheels (16x8) for my build but need to be sure they will clear the calipers before I buy them...

I've got a weird question for the group: I have a Gen3 2002 Montero Limited and I was wondering if anyone has seen their MPG go DOWN after a timing belt and/or plugs+wires change. I got my timing belt changed at the dealership recently and my mileage has gone from 18mpg consistently to 12mpg...

I am having the same issue. Just started recentlly. Does it at low RPMs in 5th gear, like when I'm just starting to climb a gradual hill and the engine hasn't shifted down into 4th yet. If I give it a little gas and get it to shift, the vibration goes away. I'm due for a fluid exchange so...
