    Horse or stock trailer conversions...

    ...why do you rarely see them? There's plenty of cargo trailer conversions out there, but the google machine only turns up a handful of camperized horse trailers. I have several friends who have enclosed trailers, and the built quality seems rather hit-or-miss. I have personal experience with...

    LED light string/fairy light remote question

    Has anybody done away with the stupid little remote that comes with all the LED string lights out there? I have them running around the inside perimeter of my truck camper and they're awesome...great for gentle ambient light while hanging out inside hiding from mosquitoes! But the stupid remote...

    Mitsu crank, no start question

    Hello all. I have a quick question for the Mitsu gurus here. It's a friend's 2007 Galant that I'm helping him with (I know, not a Monty. I'm sorry...this is just a last-ditch effort), and I'm getting stumped and figured I'd at least ask here since you all have been great with Montero knowledge...

    Mild 1997 Chevy 2500 build

    So after much lurking I've decided to go ahead and start a thread to document my upcoming spring project. The truck, while not what I would consider my "Ultimate Dream Truck," is one that my wife and I decided on since we needed a pickup of some sort. My family owned a 90's Chevy (TBI 350)...

    CUCV M1010 box question

    So here's a question for you CUCV guys...what is the box mounting situation on those? I don't know anybody around my locale that has one I can go ogle, and I'm curious how they do it, and if it is similar to a standard pickup box mounting, what are the frame rail dimensions? Reason I ask: I...

    My Gen 2.5 sleep platform

    I've been meaning to make a sleep platform in the Montero for a while now, and with camping opportunities coming up over the holidays (as well as Pacific Northwet weather), I decided to go ahead and make it. Many props to Sabre's Gen 3 platform for the inspiration! I started to make it high...

    Door lock shenanigans fix with pix

    I know this door lock issue has been dealt with several places, such as here, but I figured I'd add my own write-up as the others are short on pictures. I just finished this repair following the instructions, and it's pretty straightforward. It sure is nice being able to unlock the Monty without...

    Slim-style bumper on Gen 2s and 2.5s

    Has anybody made or mounted one? Something along the lines of a RTE Slimline bumper I've always dug that look (rather than the bulkier ARB style), and I have the material on hand to build it...just can't quite tell from staring at pictures of Montys with their bumpers off if a slimmer bumper...

    Power seat question

    Does anybody know if Gen 2's ever came with power seats? Reason I ask: We have a 97 LS and a 98 gen 2.5 winter edition. The LS is my wife's DD, and is the one we're planning on selling next year when we transfer. I don't like the power drivers seat in my gen2.5...too slow, more likely to have...

    International Uhaul truck mod question

    Hope this is the right forum...it's not an expedition rig by any stretch, but it does move me, all my crap, and my rig cross country when needed. And I have slept in it, so I guess that counts :sombrero: It's a 1988 Uhaul 26 foot moving van that I bought a few years back. Anyhoo, it's a wiring...

    Gen 2.5 Fuel Tank cracked

    **FIXED! See bottom** **PROBLEM BACK! See bottom** So my '98 Gen 2.5 developed a crack in it's fuel tank. Long story short I dropped the skid plate and tried the cheap-route, "apply even while it's wet," magic gas tank fix. Lasted 10 minutes. Drained and dropped the tank and applied JB Weld...

    3rd row seats for Mitsubishi Montero

    I have a pair of 3rd row jump seats that came out of my 1998 Mitsubishi Montero. They are in excellent shape...no smoke smells or rips. The car has 130k on it and was owned by an elderly couple, so they were rarely used and never abused. I'm selling because I'm going to put a sleeping platform...

    1987 Suzuki Samurai Tin Top

    For sale is my 1987 Suzuki Samurai tin top. The vehicle is in good shape and runs great; it's my daily driver. It has 47,xxx miles on it. It's only a 5 digit odometer so this could be 147k, but considering the good condition of the body and chassis, I certainly don't believe it to be 247k. I'm...

    Wee does cross-country and back

    So about 8 months ago I decided to travel from Elizabeth City North Carolina where I’m stationed  to northern Idaho where I’m from . At first I was going to do it in a diesel Dodge Ram but that’s just dumb. The mighty Cummins would make it but that POS truck that Chrysler built (for SHAME)...

    13" tire question...

    Ok I know it's a little car-sized tire, but does anybody know of a manufacturer who makes a more aggressive tire for a 13" rim? Something along the lines of a hardcore snow tire...maybe even into the mud terrain-style realm? Reason I ask: I have a 93 Subaru Loyale 4WD 5-speed. I'm putting a...
