I have a feeling that I also have a "Secret Russian" 4x4 test site in my Neighborhood. They build these stuff everywhere. Hi from Cape Town. You have inspired me to modify my Pajero aka Montero. Thanks for a great video.

appreciate it! It's getting some upgrades right now at my friends - then I'll take it to Secret Test Site II aka behind my friends church - it's a more thorough spot :)

Truck is looking nice man, thanks for having us along!

Haha glad someone finally noticed. Yeah I really not a fan of using it since it can get pretty sketchy. I mostly woodwork but got the Montero as a project and the vids for it are far outperforming everything else right now. And I see you're from 🇵🇷 - funny enough my next vid coming up will be making a dual PR flag - both negative and positive space ones.

I usually say "I know what needs to be done but no idea what I'm doing..." then proceed to figure it out on the fly indeed.

Man i know it improves its offroad capabilities, but I really love how those parts make it look, especially on mine, which is blue.

@@LeoTheRussian I have a third gen Montero same as yours in silver. Completely stock. Second owners since 2004. It's my father's old truck and my mom has kept it in pristine shape.

@@tonggi crude joke stands out from somewhere about the 01-02 vs 03+ monteros - 03+ smooth sides and 01-02 ribbed for more pleasure... But that's the easiest way to tell. Also oval fog lights on earlier ones and round on newer. You get bigger engine at 3.8 vs mine 3.5. Just make sure maintenance especially timing belt is done and 3.8s are known to be grenaded by butterfly valves that folks either take off or loctite them.

What rims are those size pls advise

What engine is in the montero?

are you running spacers on your wheels and what size is your tires?

These are aftermarket Motegi MR150 in 16x8 at 0 offset so no spacers. 265/75R16 Falken Wildpeaks AT3W are the tires. There's more info and fitment here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nathy8N6g9vHl7A.html

Best looking gen 3 I’ve seen yet! Actually looks better after cutting them gay flaps. Please do a quick video of how to do a rear bar like I saw on yours as it seems to be an issue I’ve found on mine with bumper trying to rip off. Might also bed line lower plastic trim on mine. Check my gen 3 videos.

Thank you! Yours is the diesel in the Australia? Impossible to get in the US. What rear bar you mean? The one that hangs under the rear bumper seemingly for no reason? I actually bent mine offroading a bit last time. Probably saved me the bumper though

@@kingmarz3635 pretty sure it's stock. I have a plastic panel that matches perfectly with it to cover it up. Once I banged it on a rock it shifted back so I had to cut the cover about 1.5 inches to make it fit again :) it's a tad crooked now but no one will notice unless really lookinh I think both get removed if trailer hitch is put in.

How did you fix the lights for the 4x4 & C/D lock...

@LeoTheRussian

2 жыл бұрын

CD lock I was trying to engage not in neutral. And front ones occasionally blink but I just move the lever back and forth and they disengage. Engaging 4x4 is never an issue. It's usually a little vacuum thing by the airbox and I have the part just haven't installed it.

What size of wheel can montero fit without lift? 32"? Thanks

@LeoTheRussian

33 can be done with some bumper cutting. 32s are easy to fit and minor bumper cutting does help.
