Subscribed! I fell in love with these things while I was in Australia and I'd love to import one to the US at some point...bring that thing further into the States sometime!

I went sort of the "redneck" way and put a fuse tap into the fuse block since it was most convenient. I haven't had a chance to use the CB with the truck running yet so you might be right about getting interference. So far I've heard people saying that the fuse block is the next best thing to...

Was that sound your brakes? Also, Eurosonic, that water crossing was nuts! The current in that river must have been pretty strong to push a 4000lb+ rig sideways that fast! Made for some good footage though :Wow1:

How gnarly are the trails you're willing to undertake? My understanding is that there will always be compromises, so if you go with the 3" Calmini kit (which would be my choice), you'll lose a bit of capability over an SAS, but you'll retain solid road manners and probably get a smidge better...

Subscribed! I'm a big fan of this whole "ExPo Bus" trend that's going around right now and I can't wait to see where you take this thing. The way I see it, it's just the next step past a Sportsmobile. :coffeedrink:

Thanks sxharr05! The stock shocks are pretty soft when new, from what I've heard, but I think after 100K they're probably toast. I was able to compress the ones I pulled off my truck with very little effort...in comparison, the Bilsteins needed to be compressed with a ratchet strap to get them...

Shocks and CB Install I stopped by 4 Wheel Parts on Friday after work and picked up these beauties... Unfortunately this is only half of my order, as the rears for this thing seem to be a pretty common size. 4WP is ordering them direct from Bilstein, I guess they're on backorder or...

I'm excited to get them on there! The stock shocks are pretty done after 170K and I know the Bilsteins will perform really well on trail. Pirate, I subscribed to your thread, your truck is pretty similar to mine in function so I'm interested to see what you do with yours.

Speaking from my experience with the site, it seems pretty dead. The Monty Sport community is already pretty small, but it seems to being dying out even more. You seem to be the only one posting on the site regularly along with Edward, the site moderator. I'm just as bummed as you are about the...

It's here!!! Gotta love Amazon Prime. After hemming and hawing for a month about which compact CB to decide on, I finally pulled the trigger on this little Uniden beauty with a magnetic 24" antenna to go along with it. Both of these purchases were based on reviews and cost effectiveness...I...

This was last weekend, but I painted my front and rear tri-diamond logos red because I was tired of the stock chrome ones, and bobbed my rear mudflaps because one of them had a hole and I was tired of looking at it! I think the logos should definitely all come red from the factory, it looks a...

Ahhh you're making me want to go back! That thing is beautiful...I just got back from a trip to Oz for 4 months and a mate of mine down there has a Troopy that I would have given a kidney to bring back with me. Can't wait to see more photos of what you do to this thing!

Bumping my own thread a little bit...but I figured I'd put some updates on here. So far I've run about 3 tanks of gas through him, and he seems to be running pretty well! I'm getting about 15mpg in mostly around town driving...the 3.0 is pretty grunty, but I can tell that the AWD is a bit much...

Merry Christmas y'all! Hope everyone had a great holiday. Now let's all get out there and celebrate by hitting the trails this weekend!

Sweet rig dude! While I was abroad looking at trucks to buy when I got back, I was lusting over this one pretty hard. Glad someone on the forum snapped it up, and for a good deal too! I had a double-take moment when I saw your first post because I knew I'd seen the truck before. I just bought an...

I might hit you up about that. There must be Mitsu parts aplenty in your part of Utah. ;)

I know someone asked this already, but would one of these fit a Sport?

Thanks! I've been doing that since I got my first car 4 years ago. Just one of those traditions I have :) I want to go get my wreath dirty though and go on a holiday trail run! Thanks redraif! I've been following your thread, and I gotta say you guys certainly have a lot on your plate. From...

Photo updates. So here are those photos I talked about way back when...he needed a good wash and to have the running boards removed. Compared to the photo in my first post, he looks way better now! No limited slip for me? The mighty 3.0. One of my favorite features on...

Thanks Pirate! The Monty Sport guys seem like a tight-knit group...I'm excited to be part of it! I've yet to crawl under and check, but that's what I figured. He's such a low-optioned rig so I'm not expecting to have it.
