Thanks. This is my 1st Gen II although I've owned 3 gen I's. The first I rolled off road, the 2nd a :sombrero:good friend has and is rebuilding, the 3rd I still have along with this SR.
Any updates to this fine looking rig?
So, Off-Roader, how do you feel about the driving stability with the lift and larger tires especially over the stock or near stock setup? I'm really considering these G2 Monteros to build. Out of the ordinary, good reliability, well set up from factory, all the right parts are available, and trucks look good!
Do you think an interior roll cage could be easily implemented? At least to behind the driver's seat, but it looks like going through the dash would be possible also..... Anyways, my main concern with these trucks is roll over safety, mainly at HWY speeds.
Ever pull a trailer with yours? Do you have an online source for all of your photos?
I've got a 3 year old and we're planning another pretty soon, so I'd prefer a bit of safety, I think an interior cage would be add peace of mind. I'd like one for my 4Runner as well.
Thanks for the info!
Yeah, I am definitely looking at the Gen 2 truck...
Thats what I've been considering, but the poor fuel economy from the LCs are a big turn off and the Rover's reliability have left a bad taste in my mouth...
I'm wanting a larger vehicle for overland trips, but one that is still capable of class 3- 3.5 trails. Which will require locker, sliders, etc. of course.

The Gen II Montero's (never sold as a Dodge model) were available from 1992-1996.
The 1992-1993 models were only available with the 3.0L engine & I don't believe they were ever offered with a std trim package that included a stock locker but I could be wrong.
The Gen II's are offered with manual tranny's but I don't recall if they're available in the US.
I don't know if my old Montero was unique, but it was a `92 LS with the 3.0L motor, 5 speed manual transmission, and factory rear locker. We loved it. This was back when we only visited Forest Service car camping sites and the occassional easy trail, but the Monty was always solid for us. We just simply outgrew it.
