    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    Sorry for the super late response, work has been crazy. Its 30" from platform to roof. I'm right at 6' and can't sit up straight but I imagine someone shorter probably could.

    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    I'll try to get a measurement tomorrow. I actually chopped about an inch off all the legs to get more headroom but I'm not sure if I can sit up straight now. I'll try to check that too. And thanks! If I had to rebuild I would definitely use stronger hinges, these are holding up fine but they...

    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    Here. I wanted to paint the bolts on top of the strap red too but I couldn't find the paint and didn't feel like buying more. Side Note: Found this grounding point very corroded and black so I made it look vaguely like copper again. Also sprayed some electronic silicone waterproofer on it...

    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    Tackled the tiny project that is my broken battery tray! Basically I just made a simple L bracket to hold the tie down rod on that side. Then while I was doing that I figured I might as well replace the rusty/corroded tie down strap as well! And the finishing touch... Made the...

    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    Welp, haven't done much due to unemployment but I finally have a job again! So the mods should start rolling in soon. In the mean time I made this diagram to start planning my electrical (mostly sound system related for now).

    Gen 3 Air Compressor - Where to mount?

    Answered this one already, charcoal/evap canister there on mine. I've noticed not all gen3's have this, not sure why. You can see it here at 3:30 and on.

    Gen 3 Air Compressor - Where to mount?

    Well I'd only use it to air up tires, in which case the well would be open and I would be outside the car. So those don't seem like a huge concern for me.

    Gen 3 Air Compressor - Where to mount?

    I got an air compressor for free from a friend and have been looking for a place to mount it. I'm thinking the 3rd row basement as the engine bay looks pretty tight already. Where did you guys mount?

    Anyone looking for 4.90 Hybrid LSD?

    It would bring you closer to whatever it was with stock tires.

    Battery Questions

    No idea about sports but most of the time you can find the dimensions of the battery and then measure the space you have. At that point I would get the biggest battery you can fit! Also I agree about the second battery (isolated) .

    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    Front CV inner boots: 2x Dorman Universal Silicone Boots Total Price: ~$50 Notes: Pretty easy once you actually get the axle out. Mine was stuck as hell, so I wrapped a strap around it, used vicegrips to secure it, and gave it a good pull. Out it came, after about 3 hours of struggling...

    Sleeping Platform: -8x4 23/32" sheet of plywood -10ft 2x4 -2x continuous hinges Total Price: ~$80 Notes: Probably going to redo it at some point. I'm not super happy with it but we'll see after a few trips. Went with just paint over carpet because I found that carpet slides around more with...

    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    Have been lurking the forum while I catch up on maintenance, piece by piece. In the past month and a half I've replaced all the speakers, the driver side abs sensor, built a sleeping platform, and today I'm doing the inner boots on the front cv's. Today has been the hardest by far, sometimes...

    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    Also a good idea! But now that I know about the second antenna, I'll probably go that route and delete the power one completely.

    Gramps 2.0 - Gen3 Montero Budget Build

    Nice, I didn't know about the second one! Does it connect to the power antenna behind the radio somewhere?
