There's lots of info out there which I've spent a lot of time reading...but i'd like to get some clarification to keep my sanity. In the process of building a little gear hauler trailer. We currently have a cooler, but will someday upgrade to a fridge. The things that we'd need to power are...

Looking to start a trailer build soon and I'm going to be using some half torsion axles. I have a 5th gen 4Runner that I'd like to run Toyota wheels on the trailer as well to have spares on hand etc. Most of the 2-3,500lb axles come in a 5x4.5 bolt pattern. Instead of running wheel adapters...

So in our endeavors of finding an interim family car... We were browsing little lots in our new city that we just moved to. There we were cruising through this little dirt car lot, when from out behind a white van, the front end of a Montero peaks out. I start getting excited, as I pull a little...

wife and I are looking at getting a van down the road to turn into our expo type vehicle. Originally wanted a Montero, but the wife likes the van idea better. Vans have been growing on me so gonna do some more digging. What we need: Room for 5-7. Current family size is 2 adults, two kids ...

So I went down to a smaller lot to check out an 02' they have for sale... It's got some issues and needed some feedback. link to the Montero - http://www.wefinanceboise.com/2002_Mitsubishi_Montero_Garden%20City_ID_251082620.veh First off, power sunroof doesn't work. Is this a common thing? Easy...

Posting this on behalf of my sister. Her Montero Sport has been having some issues and I'm trying to get them straightened out. I just replaced the computer located under the passenger side kick panel. The battery is pretty much dead and needed a jump to get started. After fixing a previous...

Do the doors from a gen 2 direct fit a 2.5? The 2.5 I'm looking at has damage on both driver side doors. 2.5 aren't very common In the yards here but have seen several gen 2s. Would I be able to swap doors? And how about interior? Are the seats and other interior goodies swappable? The driver...

http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/3645868683.html For anyone interested in a Vehicross in Idaho. First time I've seen one for sale so I thought i'd share in case anyone had been looking for one...

http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/3640315136.html I've chatted with the seller briefly and said it does leak some oil but only after have been driven/warm for awhile. The first time I talked to him I asked what his lowest cash in hand was and said if someone offered him $3100 he would probably...

When looking at Fueleconomy.gov comparing the various 3.5 Monteros, I'm getting mixed results and was wondering if anyone could clarify... 95/96 3.5 is showing 13/17 97 3.5 showing 15/18 98/99 showing 14/18 and newer Monty typically 13/16ish Eventually I'd like to get a fullsize Montero due to...

As my title states, I'm in the pursuit of the best road comfort possible for my XJ. I understand that it will never ride like a caddy, but I'd like to think I can get it close-ish. I'm looking for a good overall ride on and off-road. Good handling that doesn't feel every bump in the road. As of...

I've been on the forum for awhile... posting here and there, but realized that I don't have a build thread of my own =( So far it's only my wife, 15 month old baby girl and I but we love the outdoors and exploring. We're not into rock crawling, more along the lines of mild stuff and getting to...

First question: What's the max size tire you can put on the rear tire carrier of the hatch? I think we'd really only go 31", 265/75 max to retain decent mileage. Second: Is it possible to get more flex out of the IFS? Anyone have pics of what kind of articulation can be expected on a near stock...

Is it possible to get these clear corner lamps for U.S. Monteros? Has anyone made/bought a cowl induction type hood for their Monty? Like this, but not as tall... just a small raise

Anyone here own a Grand Vitara XL-7? Opinions on them as an expo vehicle? In my quest to find a better long term expedition type vehicle for my slowly growing family, I stumbled upon some lifted XL7 pics and placed it in the running for a future vehicle. At first, I wasn't a fan of the XL7, but...

So... I have a Jeep Cherokee and have been looking at swapping a diesel into it. I've been looking at the various options of 1.9 TDI, 2.8 CRD, OM617 etc. Ideally I want a rig that is somewhat comfortable, fits a family of 5 (only 3 of us atm), has good off-roadability, gets 20+ MPG in town...

Is any 4 door Sidekick/Tracker/Vitara a bad choice for a 6'3" driver and a wife and baby in a car seat? Never been in one, or seen the interior space.. but the MPGs of them peak my interest. I have a Jeep Cherokee right now and MPG isn't stellar. Would one of these make a viable expedition type...

Short back story... my wife and I have owned various XJ's and had a 96 Taco that we sold when we found out she was preggers... No way to get a car seat there in the back of the access cab. My current XJ is going to slowly be built into an ExPo style rig but down the road we'd like to get back...

I'm not a good fabricator yet, just an interesting imagination. I was wondering if it was possible to make a rear swing out tire carrier that had to swing arms on it. The left side would be a swing arm for the spare tire, with the right arm being for Jerry cans. What I really want to know, is...
