    Montero Sport - junkyard leaf spring options?

    Hey all! One of my best friends just joined the Montero (Sport) fold, and we're looking to do a few basic things on as much of a budget as possible. It's a '98, so the rear is leaf sprung. I'm wondering...does anyone know of a junkyard solution that would provide approximately a 2-inch lift...

    Nui 'Ula - our '95 Ex-J!

This will be the update thread for the new-to-us Ex-J! Our new XJ: '95 4.0L, 5 spd, 220k...starts, runs, drives great...evidence...

    SoCal peeps: My Montero SR is for sale! :(

    If you or anyone you know is looking for an SR, mine is up for grabs. Fiancee and I are downsizing, and the Montero is hardly ever driven so it's on the chopping block. Let me know. Thanks...

    FS: 1995 Mitsubishi Montero SR (SoCal), $2750

    Hey all, Sadly, the time has come to part with good ol' Monty. :( There will be another in my future, but the fiancee and I are downsizing for a few years to save money for a wedding and a house, and I just have too many darn cars. :smiley_drive: 1995 Montero SR with the usual factory SR...

    Truck Bed Trailer build ideas - need input!

    Hey gang, I wheel in a Mitsubishi Montero, and I also sleep in the back (there's no seats in back, and an airbed fits nicely behind the front seats). Juggling cargo is ususally the name of the game when we have to set up camp - removing stuff from the back of the truck and setting things either...

    It's so tight...

    ...it was a long day, but a couple friends assisted me with installing new upper and lower ball joints, new inner and outer tie rod ends, a new pitman arm, a new idler arm, and a new (used) driver's CV axle with a halfway decent boot on the inside (old boot was totally separated). She feels like...

    Junkyard alert: Clean '97 SR @ Beach Pick-Your-Part (Stanton/Anaheim)

    VERY clean body, 170k. Had Manik nerf bars but it looks like the yard smashed one pretty good loading the car in. :( Interior is VERY clean. Lots of good stuff left. I will be there today to get a CV axle, but I don't have dibs on anything else. Enjoy! There's also a brown/gold '92 SR (non...

    SoCalMonty's 1995 SR semi-build thread!

    SoCal people: Smittybilt front tube bumper w/ Montero brackets available...

    Hey guys, I know there's probably a classified section on here (...is there?!), but this is such a niche item I thought it would go better here. I'm selling the Smittybilt front tube bumper I had on my Montero. It has the Montero brackets on it, and will bolt right on to a Gen2/2.5 (not sure...

    This made me giggle...

    So, I was lurking some other forums. And recently, I saw this post: I giggled because I couldn't help but think about the fact that my CV's on both sides of my 1995 Montero have torn boots, and it's to the point where I've stopped greasing them because they fling grease all over the front end...

    Wiring: Where did you pass wires through the firewall???

    Hey gang, I need to install a switch for lights tonight or tomorrow morning. Things seem pretty tightly packed at the firewall. Where did you find a spot to pass wires through to the engine bay? If you've got a pic, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance! :)

    Towing: What's the heaviest thing you've pulled? Have you exceeded max towing cap?

    Wellllll... It looks like I'm going to be towing a *HEAVY* load. Unfortunately, there are hills. I'm picking up that parts Montero, and I will be exceeding the max towing capacity a bit. I figure as long as I let the truck go at it's own pace and go nice and easy, I should be OK. I'll be...

    Feeler: Parting out Gen 2 SR. Anyone need anything?

    ...no, not mine! ;) Picking up an SR for parts. The turnaround will be fast (2 weeks tops), so if you need anything, speak up and get in line now! Engine blown, trans good. Interior rough. I can ship smaller items; large/heavy items will need to be picked up in person (SoCal). Car must remain...

    Dog ramp + picnic table, on the cheap!

    So...my dog. He's between 105 and 110 lbs, and he can't jump in and out of the truck, so I have to lift him. Neither my back nor my knees are what it used to be, so I wanted to get him a dog ramp on the cheap. What I ended up with as a prototype was a single plank (60.5" long, 15.5" wide) which...

    Dog ramp + picnic table (aka, I love it when a plan comes together!)

    Re-purposing plastic tubs/jars?

    Hey all, I've saved a few of these because I figured I would find a use for them. Every couple months, I'll buy an exercise supplement or two. The plastic tubs they come in seem useful for car camping/off road trips (at least, ones where I don't need to cram things into every open space). I...

    Trooper spotted in SoCal (Lake Forest)...

    Just wondering...white mid-90's Trooper, lifted, looked like 32's or 33's, roof rack, hi-lift. I can't recall any other details, but it's the only modified Trooper I've seen in the area. Does it belong to anyone in here? If so, post up! :)
