    Grandpa Builds A 2000 Montero

    I'm keeping the Montero for now. Several of you have asked about it since my last post. I can't bring myself to part with it for now. Thanks for asking. Nothing has changed with the Montero. It remains very reliable.

    Grandpa Builds A 2000 Montero

    Thanks for asking. I haven't been here in a while. No updates on the Montero. I use it regularly for local errands. Most of the updates are about me. I have retired from my full time job and work some contracted hours. We moved to the coast and since there are no public off road areas I don't do...

    Gen 3 Overheating at Idle?

    I have this issue. There have been issues with the gauge cluster temp registering high. A Google search can help you find the fix. You have to remove the gauges and resolder the connection. I think there is a YouTube video about this fix. I haven't done mine yet.

    Montero rear diff carrier shims?

    The part number appears to be for the front diff. I have shims for the rear diff and none are that large. I could be wrong. Edit: Could be a Gen3 and I have a Gen2.

    Grandpa Builds A 2000 Montero

    I don't remember having to do anything to the bumper. I had to remove the ends of the frame horns and drill holes in the frame.

    Show me your "Adult" rigs and how you keep them running.

    When I was in high school I would go to the dealer when they got one of these in stock just to look. I so wanted one then. I guess I still do. Thanks for the pictures.

    Alu-Cab Has Landed In The USA!

    What is the preferred method to mount the Shadow Awn to a fiberglass truck cap? I have a 2016 GMC Canyon short bed truck with an ARE fiberglass cap. I want to mount a Shadow Awn and have capacity for a future RTT. My plans are to mount tracks on the roof with an inside structure to support the...

    My ZR2 Colorado and Canyon Saga

    I like this but I need a side view for the Canyon. Thanks.

    Where to begin!!!

    I have the GMC Canyon with the 2.8 turbo diesel. I have easily towed a 3500 lb trailer through the mountains of NC and I averaged 21-24 mpg. I regularly get 30+ mpg on the highway without a trailer. I would say a full size diesel would be better for a 5000 lbs trailer in the Rockies.

    2015 GMC Canyon

    That looks great. I see you also mounted the front roof rack. Did you have any problems drilling the mounting holes?
