I like what you were saying about Monteros and the dakar rally. Last year the only Jeep in the dakar rally placed 125th, out of 128. Hahaha, and the highest place Mitsubishi was 11th place. Some (most) Americans just don't trust the outside world.
Marcus! Did you shoot this film? Towards the end where a Gen1 beige montero is jumping in the sand dunes, do you know who's car that was? I think its the car I bought and now own, if theres a high-lift jack on the front bumber and a red gas can on the spare :)
so i guess jeeps are never found at the mall...whatever, I am not even going to waste my time. look up the dakar race and then tell me the montero is not an off road truck
I am not out there bashing on jeeps. Jeeps are great for a day trip and having a great time. All trucks have pros and cons, but I wouldn't want to take a jeep on a 2 week expedition or long trip.
I would much rather push a jeep than drive a mitsubishi . . . . but i'm going to have to agree with you i took my 04 trail rated sport wrangler to arkansas that was a 10 hour drive, i had no cruise (avg mph 58 (i did not want to run my trans too hard) avg mpg 16) i was riding on a 3 inch lift h/d axles and suspension (too long for details) but i did mount a set of street tires on seperate set of rims and i was sore from the suspension and the uncomfortable ride. Much rather would of rode Mitsubi
its true jeeps are good short distance off roaders, i mean do u ever see any militarys using jeeps? i mean all they are any good at is rock crawling, but thats after theres tons of aftermarket stuff. i mean i would take a montero or land rover any day if it was a life and death choice
Then why did the fuckin little jeep wrangler get stuck out in the fuckin water. The montero didn't get stuck not even once. So stop hatin on mitsubishi's cuz u know for a fact that the jeep ain't got shit on the montero when it comes to off-roading and performance!!!
The band is Men at Work I cant remember the name of this song but it was very popular in the early 80's. Check out the Albumn "Cargo". This is all from memory but you should be able to google it with this info and get the exact info.
Well to be honest, it has a super select and full locking differentials. It is known as Active Trac here in the U.S. So actually it will not lose traction if two wheels come off the ground.
yea i figured it was somthing like that, ive got a montero also and thinking abt getting a lift. do u know if they had to crank the torsion bars in the front or if OME springs lifted it? thanks.
Great Video and Great Music, Man, one of the best I've seen.

does anyone know how much lift that first montero has, and what kind of tires they are
wthayer7 4 years ago
32 inch tires with Old Man Emu springs...which gave it about an inch lift. If you want to know more, let me know.

keep in mind that the montero was designed by Dodge

No it wasn't

Actally the dodge raider was nothing more than a rebadged montero designed by mitsubishi in the late 80s early 90s.

What happened to the jeep.

Not sure. Another one of those videos that were sent to me. It was probably left behind until the river receded and then dug back up.
