    Bilstein 4600 rear - top nut and bushings

    Hello all, I just finished (well almost) installing the Lovell rear springs and B4600 shocks. I followed the great work instructions provided on here and YouTube. All the instructions assume the reader knows how to install the shock. (I recognize that I might be the only idiot that does not) In...

    She’s a beaut, Clark! Looks like you found a low mileage example. Hope the previous owner took care of it despite not driving much. Where are you located? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gen 3 crankshaft pulley bolt!

    Ahhhhh I should have tried Rock Auto. I bought a kit from Amazon and I am a little worried about part quality given it’s not OEM or even a brand I am familiar with. Reviews are positive but I don’t trust the Amazon review system. Hopefully the kit looks good when it arrives tomorrow. I had more...

    Gen 3 crankshaft pulley bolt!

    Ok so the problems are worse than I thought. Threads are ok. New bolt goes in no problem. However that crankshaft gear looks like garbage as does the lower timing cover. I plan to replace the crankshaft gear (md184894) and the timing cover (MD366568). I already have the new bolt, washer and...

    Gen 3 crankshaft pulley bolt!

    Ok - so got lucky and the only “damage” appears to be the to the pulley. The metal on the inner portion is chewed up from wobbling. The lower timing belt cover and the idler pulley (or whatever is back there) looks ok. I will replace all the parts but to check and make sure nothing broke...

    Gen 3 crankshaft pulley bolt!

    I don’t know either way but mine backed out for sure. Maybe it was not torqued correctly? The crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer?) is still attached but not tight against the engine and thus wobbles. I removed the belt and can reach down and move the pulley back and forth (not around) with...

    Gen 3 crankshaft pulley bolt!

    So today I learned all about the crankshaft pulley bolt. Specifically the problem of the bolt backing out. My 06 3rd gen has 119k miles. Noticed the problem after the serpentine belt started slipping and I replaced it with a new one. Problem didn’t go away so I then figured the tensioner pulley...

    3rd gen headlight assemblies on eBay

    Hello - any word on the EBay headlights? I’m debating pulling the trigger on a pair vs buying OEM from a parted out Montero and then polishing. Price would be about the same - $150. Not sure about quality on either end. Old ones might be as bad as the ones I have and the Ebay knockoff could be...

    Hello! New member w/3rd gen in PA

    Hi Wonton, I thought I got a pretty good deal but after reading more - eh maybe not. Regardless I am happy. I paid $7,500 -all in with tax plus $850 to ship it to PA. Invested another 1500 into catching up the maintenance and fixing small niggles inside, added a pioneer Apple play head unit, a...

    3rd gen headlight assemblies on eBay

    Thanks! The pair I am looking at are less than $200 and with bulbs included. They say led but I think this is a mistake. The description also says the lenses are made of glass and not plastic. This seems unlikely as I have not seen glass headlights used on cars since forever. Looking forward to...

    3rd gen headlight assemblies on eBay

    Does anyone have experience with the aftermarket headlight assemblies being sold on EBay? Are they worth buying? Some are fairly inexpensive so the my fear is that the item is garbage or that it will not fit like OEM. I tried to search but did not find anything. Thanks!

    https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/d/bensalem-2004-mitsubishi-montero-limited/7090662383.html East coast survivor - only worry would be rust. Less than 90k miles I’d love to pick it for parts!

    Hello! New member w/3rd gen in PA

    Yeah, I am really happy to have found it. Only had 112K miles too. I spent months looking for a clean example without rust and neglect. Really hard to find in the north east. I had a line on an 06 survivor in NJ that only had 45K miles but that one ended up getting bid up over asking and...

    Hello! New member w/3rd gen in PA

    Hello All, New to the forum and Mitsubishi ownership. I purchased a 06 Montero LTD about 6 months ago and I am really glad I did. Black, 118k Miles. Have not done too much other than typical used car reconditioning. Timing belt, water pump, all fluids, etc and some cosmetic stuff to...
