    FS: 1998 Montero Winter Package

    It has not left my possession, correct. It IS pending sale as of a few days ago, should be leaving this Sunday at the moment. I will circle back either way.

    I have the parts to fix my truck in hand, but am considering just pulling all the parts i think i can sell off of it and sending the rest to the crusher as the market seems to have completely stagnated. Any thoughts? Any vultures out there looking for parts? I like the truck, but i already...

    I don't think it's the hardest thing in the world to find seats on www.car-part.com, actually. When i replaced the bulk of the interior in this truck i just hopped on there and called a couple junkyards in a 2 hour radius that had tan interior Gen2.5s on hand, went and yoinked them. Junkyard...

    2.5 months later, i don't have replacement parts. $2k, come get it and bring wheels/tires. It will drive up on a trailer just fine. I will pass along an OME hookup on new bars. I'm done with this. The lack of support for this platform isn't something i'm willing to chance for a vehicle i...

    FS: 1998 Montero Winter Package

    Hi there. I'm in Indianapolis (The NY mention was that i drove it to NY and back to visit family around the holidays, it drove great, very comfortable) and yes this is still available. No real large issues otherwise. It's an old truck and it has some fluid weeps here and there, but other than...

    Torsion bar snapped in my driveway. Everything else has been great. $2000, bring wheels/tires and a trailer. Josh @ Adventure Driven is looking into warranty replacement on the torsion bars. Freak metallurgy issue from what i'm seeing. If Sway-A-Way will stand behind their product, i will...

    How about $2000 bring your own wheels and a trailer? Any less and i'll part the truck out and scrap it, which is sad, being that it's a CA truck.

    Yeah it's not ideal. Hoping i hear something back about it soon, because while it's not mission critical, this is my DD for the little driving i do until my HDJ81 can be retrieved from Canada. So, on a general level, i'm without transportation for the moment while my wife is at work. I would...

    My CL ad died, but it's still on OfferUp. (Link below) I love this truck, but i have an HDJ81, an FZJ80, and a V8 4runner. It's time. Good: ADD 2" HD kit with all the bells and whistles installed about 6000 miles ago. (Bulletproofed idler built on new oem idler, Siberian bushings everwhere...

    I can get some but would like to clean it up a little first. It's mostly been used to haul stuff for the last year or so, haven't put many miles on it. I'll get that handled this week. :)

    How do i find my old build thread?

    Like title says. This forum "function" is baffling. Wanted to update my build thread since i did some work to the truck for the first time in awhile this past weekend in preparation for using it as a winter beater because i stillllllll haven't found a body shop that will touch my 80. But i...

    2004 Montero Limited vs 2003 XLS

    There is a 2003 XLS. It is mechanically identical to an 03-06 Limited, but has the 01-02 XLS interior and features, otherwise.

    2004 Montero Limited vs 2003 XLS

    Mechanically, nothing. Just creature comforts. Probably a crappier stereo in addition to what you listed. No wood trim (bonus, in my mind). I'm not shopping for another Gen3, but if i were, it would be an 03 XLS. :)
