About my Montero

GLacier blue '99 Montero with the winter package, 3.5l SOHC V6, adjustable shocks and factory rear locker. Since i bought it a few years ago i have done a 2" suspension lift and 2" bodylift with 35x13.5 TOYO M/T's, removed swaybars for better travel .I removed the factory skid plates and CNC plasma'd new ones out of 1/2"-1/4" plate, I also CNC'd a front plate style bumper out of 1/4 plate. For the rear bumper I gave tubing a shot and bent up a low profile tubular bumper that wraps around the underside of the cropped rear quarter panels. I also used round tubing for my rocker protection which i recently cut off in favor of square tubing. My axles are the stock front axle = 28 spline, 29mm diameter, diff = 8" diameter
rear axle = 31 spline, 33.5mm diameter, diff = 9.5" diameter, I
replaced the stock 4.27 axle gears with the mitsu 4.90 R&P gearsets from the dealer and added a front detroit locker.
Installed a TJM snorkel to help the engine breathe cleaner on dusty trails and keep water out while crossing deep water

Thanks man. I remember the Gen II you had when you first started. You've done alot of things to your 99, and tons of research and mods for our trucks. Thanks for sticking around and making it happen! You just let me know if you are ever on the east coast and I'll def make it out west one of these days! Keep up the awesome work
