Hello! I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Zaid and I live in Phoenix.
I've been lurking for a couple of weeks while finding a Montero and I finally picked one. I ended up picking up a 2005 Soprano Silver Limited. 208k miles and in decent condition. Not a bad deal at $2500. Solid car and very clean. Engine is strong.
It has the trans case selection/solenoid issue but should be an easy job for me to tackle so I'm not worried about it too much.
On the drive home, the traction control lights came on and stayed on and I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.
I plan to do some light overlanding/camping so the mod plans are as follows:
- Springs/ shocks/ 33s (likely going with K02s)
- 16x8 et -10 wheels (Turbomacs)
- roof rack basket
- some cheap Amazon lights/light bar
- new audio
- all the camping goodies
Some questions for my new buddies:
- I understand that I will need the hubcentric rings, but is a et -10 offset too far out? Any experience with rubbing with that setup on 33s?
- I don't see myself getting heavy bumpers so medium duty springs should be fine right?
- anything I should keep an eye out for?
Thank you and I look forward to being part of this group.
Cheers!
