    Winch bumper for a 2003 Montero sport?

    Revival time?, and ARB is apparently the only aftermarket option for the Sport models (expensive). I'm currently working on adapting a Jeep JK bumper to my Sport. Fabrication of the mounts is the biggest hurdle. I've seen several people do this with good results, but without access to a...

    Cruise control ?‍♂️ wacky?? IDK.

    Over a year now and I believe my original experience was the cruise was just hunting for the speed. I've not experienced it as severely as last year. Probably just a fluke anomaly. Thanks everyone.

    question about Montero sports

    ? FYI, Reliably is a relative term. Very important yes,, but proper vehicle maintenance is priority #1 for a reliable vehicle. If your shopping,, ask the seller for any and all maintenance documents! If not available then offer less $$'s, as you will likely be doing some neglected maintenance...

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    I'm working on adapting a JK Bumper to "Spot". Likely going to DIY cause welder/fab is insanely expensive ?‍♂️. A Local shop estimate for mounts only was $825! Got this DV8 FS-6 Bumper for $250. Perfect condition.

    Airbag Recall Letter from Mitsu

    [emoji23] Mitsubishi is not the most profitable/ solvent Manufacturer in the USA. A buyback of a large number of elderly vehicles could possibly bankrupt Mitsu USA. [emoji2369] IDK. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Transfer case leaking at shifter

    Do you have a seepage down the side of your T-case? Honestly it looks like long term residue. [emoji2369] If you have visible leaking gaskets are great,, but I have had great success with this, Permatex Ultra Gray RTV. Just follow the instructions on the package [emoji106]. Sent from my...

    4x4 transfer case removal Gen 2.5

    Here's my cheap tip for the installation. Your gonna fashion 2 alignment dowels from a pair of bolts that you can access with a screwdriver. Insure they are of adequate length to allow the TC to slide into place. Cut off the bolt heads,, Grind a tapered point,, Cut a slot in the point to fit...

    Montero gen 3 coolant leak

    [emoji2357]Bye all means scrap the vehicle over a simple coolant leak [emoji28] lol. Or better yet, just sell it cheap so some deserving person can repair it and have a great vehicle. What is your monthly budget for the new vehicle? I don't get it! [emoji2369] Good luck [emoji106]. Sent...

    Battery Questions

    [emoji112]hey, , as I mentioned, the 24MS is 1000cca and Marine rated. So I'm guessing it is adequate for both starting and moderate discharges. [emoji2369] if anyone knows better,, please chime in. The Std Montero Sport alternator is 85amp rated. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
