Always loved your Montero. Do you have a link to buy the bushings?

I've seen it discussed in a forum before and I cant find the thread that talked about it in detail, but the forum link I sent you in my previous post, one member mentions that same thread mentioning aftermarket axles not doing well with excessive angle and causing vibrations since aftermarket...

I've been away from the forum for a couple months but came back and saw this thread and wanted to chime in. I currently have this issue in my gen 3 as you described, but for the front axle. I noticed this happened to me as soon as I switched to aftermarket axles, they were clicking while...

No, they're brand new. I ditched the OEM axles because they were clicking. Slapped the new ones on and now there's a vibration. This thread talks about it. https://mitsubishiforum.com/forum/mitsubishi-montero-montero-sport-14/montero-shudder-vibration-4hi-only-54140/page3/ OP solves his issue...

FOR SALE: 2006 Mitsubishi Montero Limited Location: Gilbert, Arizona Reason for selling: I know I'm gonna regret selling this car but after long and careful consideration, I have to. I'm selling because circumstance forces me to now daily it, I also will be moving further away from my...

Ah, I see. In my head I thought I had to be as prepared as most decked out rigs to hit these trails, though now I'm running SL rated tires so I'm not as confident. I'll choose my lines carefully then. I don't have a rooftop tent but camping by the river sound like a blast. I'm better prepared...

Longer than I expected, thats a full day lol would you highly suggest camping? How would you rate the difficulty of the terrain on a scale 1 - 10? I'm replacing my LT BFG KO2's with SL Toyo Open Country AT3's and idk how these will hold up to more rugged terrain than I'm used to off-roading on...

Looks like a fun trail, how long did it take from beginning to end? Let me know next time you're going.

That's cool man, I'll try next time, I'll be needing new front axles. They are clicking/ popping at full lock and when the suspension articulates over rough terrain. I wouldn't say it's stiff but generously over firm. I tolerate it since I don't feel like going over the suspension again. I will...

Sounds like fun. I went to Bulldog Canyon solo over the weekend and it was pretty easy, the Monte handled everything in 4Hi with ease. It got rough about a 1/4 way thru the trail going toward north gate, it gets really rocky so I was pretty much coasting at 10-15mph. I have light duty OME EMU...

Gotcha. For me, I have nobody to roll with so when going solo, I wanna make sure I'm well prepared. Otherwise I would've tried it out stock. The original o2 should resolve the issue. Yup. This is what helped me identify the vacuum leak on the butterfly seal on mine.

Congrats on the the Montero and welcome. You wasted no time hitting the trails lol I got my Montero 2 months ago and still haven't gone for fear of being unprepared. I think you might've encouraged me to go this weekend. And I see you went on street tires as well, so I really have no excuse...

It's a 2006 with 285/75/16 16x8 - 12 offset edit: I forgot to mention I had to trim the inner fenders in the front toward the bumper and bend back the tabs on the running board, they rub on full lock. I think if you remove them then it won't rub.

Dang, I wish I could go but I'm still not as prepared as I'd like to be for a trip like this. Maybe in another month or so.
