Mine used to be Mitsubishipartswarehouse (R.C. Hill Mitsubishi). They recently changed security features, and I have to jump through hoops to even be able to complete the online order, 4 tries failed, including phone calls, so I have reluctantly fired them. My nearest dealer is over an hour's...

I just did a valve seal replacement on my '02 Montero Limited. Last time I did the job on my wife's truck, pulling the seals without the special Schely narrow access pliers was a chore. This time, it was a much better job. Schley pliers and Lisle valve spring removal tool. I did a Twitter...

I continue to go to sleep each day, hoping I'll wake up to news of immediate import of Triton L200 UTE, or the new Pajero Sport with the Super Select II drive train, leading to a "new to me" purchase of a used one a couple years down the road, but today, again, the answer was "No". So I see the...

What do we do, when it comes time to replace our beloved Montero, or Montero Sport? I suppose for now, I'll keep repairing and cosmetically fixing our two trucks, but what happens when we really need something else? I guess we won't see a Pajero Sport anytime soon here in the USA, that I could...

-Last night, heading out to the garage: "I know it's already December 18, but..." -This morning in the driveway: "Well, can a fella ever really have too much Christmas spirit...?" Merry Christmas from our "Montero" driveway to yours, and may your travels "All be Merry and Bright...!".

Dodged a bullet here, all is well, but looks menacing. I let the Wife's 3.5L Sport blow past the 60K interval, chasing 80K. "Bad Montero owner...bad I say". What was I thinking?, obviously not. As I recall, the belt at last interval was a local parts store item, so maybe it hasn't lasted as...

While Expo is mostly about Overlanding, some of us like to take our base camp with us. My base camp hauls kayaks, mountain bikes, camping gear, etc. Everything is relative to our own experiences, so take this post with a grain of salt. My experience includes using my usual tow rig, an...

Also could be titled, "Don't postpone your timing belt service", or "Friends don't let strangers work on your Montero engines" Well, before any of you get the uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach, this story has a happy ending with the timing belt change living happily ever after, (at...

Anybody bothered to track down these oem dzus plastic clip on fasteners for the factory hard plastic spare tire cover? RCHill doesn't show them listed anymore, and the only place I can find them so far has a minimum purchase of 34 pieces. I know...throw the thing away, mount some serious...

..and valve seals, rear cam seals, front cam seals, valve cover seals, PCV valve, we've all heard it before. Oil discussions always get us into trouble, but I'm just going to report my results and take my beating. So the wife's truck ('03 Montero Sport Limited) earned the nickname "ol smoky"...

So we have to build our own plates, hire a fabricator, or order Asfir, Bushkinz, or similar? I'm cruising through the Pajero club of Victoria forum and I found this for the Gen 3: Their new intercooler (radiator) plate looks like this: I'm checking into shipping possibilities to the US...

I mentioned this in a previous post, but wanted to detail it here. You can get your dealer service history report including recalls (open/closed) for free from Mitsubishi, yes even the older models. It won't show every part, but you'll get a good overview of service items, dates, and mileage...

A factory hitch for a 2002 Montero, with lots of other "junk" I needed for my Montero. Here's the sticker with the part number, haven't checked it against the GEN 3 hitch posts, yet. It sits much closer to the bumper when installed than what I have seen in the current aftermarket. Sharp...

Say Hello to "Sudan Sam", my new to me 2002 Montero Limited, sudan beige, premium package, hybrid LSD. I've spent most of my time lurking in the 4WD/2WD van forum, since I of course have the van. I've always wanted to convert it to 4WD, but have discovered that with kids off to college...

I'm sure I haven't used the right search terms, or I'm making this one harder than it is, but: Will 2003 Montero Sport Limited factory rims fit a 2002 Montero (full size)? (offset, etc.) Reason: I have an opportunity to pickup a spare (salvage) '03 sport limited that is the identical twin to...

Hi Folks, wheel preference is a real personal thing. Searched several terms on colors but no real success on opinions. Are there practical advantages to the black finish rims such as trail dust, cleaning, etc. or is it just the new style for today? I'm showing my age here, but have a hard time...

Hi Folks, lurked around a long time, I can't use this one, but I think somebody sure needs to buy it. Found it searching govdeals. No affiliation. (Sorry if this belongs somewhere else) 4WD, E350, 7.3 diesel, could be a good project, hey it even comes from "Mayberry"...
