[chcg2000]

Do you think that i can swap the original engine 6G72 for a 6G75? By the way this video its great. Your montero set up is great i am definetly taking notes. Iwant mine to do some mud, river crosing in Puerto Rico. Kudos again great video and Montero.

nice vid man!!... i like your tires those are the type of tires we use now for our hmmwv.. (high mobility muliti-purpose wheeled vehicle)..

[HerreraCam]

My Montero is out of the shop and getting new tires in the morning. Hell yeah!

[leabuelo]

you should put a baja style skid plate with lights

[HerreraCam]

I have a 1996 SR. Waiting for it to come out of the shop. I'll probably just put some 31s on her. Nice Tero you've got there.

How many miles on it? Been thinking of adding another 4x4 , currently have an FJ80 Toyota, and I've always like the Monteros too.

Seen some inexpensive deals with hi miles tho.

[spannernuts]

nice looking Pajero. Very tastefully done. I've seen too many 4x4s spoiled with too much junk bolted on

[asrex101]

love the pajero man ..goood post bro

[Montero7081]

How big of a lift did you need to fit the 35" tires? How did you go about it?

Thanks.

[marcus2113]

2 inch longer coils in the rear, cranked torsion bars, 2 inch body lift, and a little fender trimming in the front.

[idahooutdoorsman69]

@marcus2113 and no front bumper

[Gardrale]

That Montero is just downright COOL! I have considered buying one with the factory locker and lifting it a little to put maybe some 33's on it. My Wife would like to kill you now because you have just rekindled my idea. Great video too, do you have some video of it going over the rougher parts where the stills were taken? I'd really like to see it if you do.

[marcus2113]

No videos of the crazy stuff. And no pictures of a the real crazy stuff. Usually efforts are spent to just make sure nothing bad happens.

[silvid0o0]

awesome man i`never see a montero like this before its amazing, congratulationg man.

[tamales68]

looks bad ass to drive without the front bumper, why did you remove the sway bar?

[marcus2113]

To increase articulation.

[kirbiak90ZX]

Nice montero, I have a 94 montero ls. I put a sr rear end with stock lockers running on 32'. What kind of lift kit you use? I was thinking about getting the Ironman 2.5 lift kit.

[marcus2113]

Its my brother montero and it has custom coils built from Spring Works with torqued torsion bars. Iron man looks like a good company. I didn't actually see the specific lift for the montero thou. Best of luck.

[lxJohnxl]

very very nice off-roading vid

[p3p3boi]

where did you get the 4.90 ring and pinion, more information would be greatly appreciated.

bad ass montero by the way, its good to see these awesome rigs out there surprisng jeeps and proving themselves everyday.

[marcus2113]

the 4.90 ring and pinion was ordered from misubishi dealer. Its the same ring and pinion the Gen III uses...fits right in.

[p3p3boi]

thanks for the response, so its the SR that comes with a factory air locker? im still confused on which trim level brings the locker, SR RS or LS.

where did you get the t-case gears? because i heard that the only work with the 3.0L engine, not the 3.5L

thanks in advance,

[marcus2113]

For years up to 97, its the SR package that had the factory rear diff locker. 98-99 models didn't have the different trim packages, however, I know some still had the rear diff locker. My brother got the tcase gears in Australia however I don't know if the guy still makes them. I can find out more if you are seriously interested.

[landonwolf]

hey how'd you do your back bumper, i am very interested

[marcus2113]

Its welded right to the frame...with modifications to the side factory corners. Let me know if you want more details.

[kirbiak90ZX]

hey do you have a problem with the tires rubbing the inside of the fenders cuz of their size? cuz i wanna get bigger tires on my montero-do u think ill have problems with 32" tires without a lift kit?

[marcus2113]

32s should fit without a problem. Don't quote me on that thou. To fit the 35s with lift required a little trimming.

[adrianhabicht]

Cool Video, I have seen your montero around a lil bit, we should get together and go run some trails.

[hoppy1978]

Cool video. Have a lot of good memories of Ft. Huachuca in the mountains.
