    New Gen 3 Owner - Maintenance Questions

    The only other thing to look out for on these I know of is 02 sensors and there are 4?

    Fuel Tank Issue

    I haven't yet no. I remember them clamping the hose in Cali on the smog test and pressurizing the gas tank

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Yeah I checked my manual for the gen 2 gen 3 pajeros and there is indeed access panels in the interior. This time when I filled the rig up I tilted the gas nozzle sideways as I read about doing in some other threads and managed to fill it up all the way. So I have no idea what was causing the issue

    Gen III Montero durability

    There is a video of an aussie mag getting a gen 3 stuck (they had to pull the traction control fuse to do it) and then yanking it from a good stuck over and over from totally wrong points IE the door jam and then measuring panel gaps to see how tough the monocoque is. It didn't budge. The only...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    So the weird thing is that the mileage number on my center console (miles to empty) seems roughly correct even when the fuel gauge itself is wrong. Both probably get the information from the same sending unit

    Gen3 Montero vs. Gen3 4Runner

    The Gen 3 is amazingly well thought out. Looking underneath it you can tell they were very careful about placing things tucked up out of the way etc. I am really enjoying mine

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Hmm, I havent been off road to get a dent. And I have filled at two diff stations and seen this now. Reading a bit sounds like if the evaporative stuff on the gas tank gets clogged and won't vent it will dramatically cut off the size of fuel you can put in the tank. Worth a shot looking under...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    I posted a while ago about my fuel tank gauge seeming very sensitive to changes in angle. Well now I feel like its not really responding very quickly, sometimes after a quick shutdown and restart it reads empty. In addition when I have filled it up the past two times it only took less fuel than...

    Jaynen's Black Gen 3

    My father in law has run his BFG AT on his superduty at high PSI for years. I think you would have to massively overinflate to get any sort of crowning issue (which is the only thing I think overinflation would cause) at least on my tires 45 is still way below the max you can run. My old rule of...

    2002 Montero

    What is the desired timing belt interval on these? I believe it might be 60k which would mean it is due for another one so I would take that in mind when negotiating cost. Besides the timing belt I would ask about the o2 sensors as it has 4 of them and they are known to go bad. Also make sure...

    Eurosonic's Montero 2.5Gen Build Thread

    I thought the gen 2.5's had fender flares :P? jokes aside, I agree with the other statements that if we were that worried about our rigs we would not be out there. (hence the reason I don't care too much about the trail pinstriping I got 2 days after I bought it)

    DEATH VALLEY RUN - President day weekend

    btw I am not sure if its close enough or worth it to you guys but there is 4x4 only road out of the backside of Red Rocks park outside of Vegas. It can be an interesting and pretty climb. I rode over it when there was snow on top which made it interesting on 2 wheels

    Jaynen's Black Gen 3

    The door sticker has pressures for "E" rated tires which I don't think come in passenger variants only LT but these pressures are still like 35ish? The size different for rotational reasons is only 3% not enough to be whats causing the dramatic shift in mpgs. Normally around town and stop and go...
