Up for sale is my 1995 Mitsubishi Montero in the SR Trim level. I have outfitted this truck for overland travel and it has served its purpose well. Current mileage is approximately 137k. We purchased it with 117k nearly 4 years ago, the truck has been used almost exclusively as a trip vehicle. It pains me to see it go, but it is about time to upgrade- (Double cab Tundra).
So here are some specs and inclusions of the sale.
- 1995 Montero SR, this means FACTORY locking rear differential!
- Old Man Emu Heavy rear springs (still have stock springs).
- Iron Man front torsion bars (still have stock torsion bars).
- KYB Monomax shocks. Great value shock which I argue to be on par with Old Man Emu shocks.
- ARB Front bumper, originally for a Jeep XJ. New mounts fabricated and bolted to frame. Stout enough.
- Warn 9000lb winch included, needs new solenoid pack.
- Cargo management system and cargo divider.
- Front Smittybilt GEAR tactical seat covers (driver's seat leather has typical wear for this age).
- Safari snorkel.
- Current tires/wheels- 255 85 R16 BFG KM2 on steel Tacoma wheels. Plus, you get the 33x12.50 15 Duratracs and black steel wheels shown in the pics, however one of the four tires was punctured in the sidewall. The spare I used was a 33x10.50x15 KM1. And, you get the stock Montero wheels.
- Piaa dual driving and fog lights.
- Locking front hubs

The bad:
- Recent hail damage
- Usual trail bruises
- I painted the fender flares and plastic trim with Krylon Fusion paint for plastic- some of it has been rock chipped.
- It looses its nuts on occasion.:ylsmoke: The exhaust manifold to exhaust pipe flange likes to work loose every couple thousand miles. I've tried multiple methods to secure it to no avail.
- Airbag fault light is on. Has been on for about 3k miles now... haven't sourced new module.
- Interior has usual stains and wear for age.
