Awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product after all's said and done :) ... Are you going to be powdercoating or painting the final product?

WOAH.

... The more that I try to think of creative answers/responses, the more it makes me actually just want to know what the hell really happened, hahaha

Most of my experience with doing retrofits has been on older model Volvos and Saabs. I haven't actually ever taken a look at the Montero housings, although I'm sure after getting some base measurements, it shouldn't be all that hard. What it really comes down to with me is if it's worth the...

I'm not suuuuuper worried about the headlight output, unless it's downright dangerously crappy. I'll be running aux lights for when things are a bit more off of the beaten path, and worst-case scenario, I can try to bang out a projector retrofit so that I can run 4300k HIDs in the housings.

Thanks for the heads-up! The lack of HL washers is a bit of a disappointment, but I've dealt with worse. ... Heated seats though?

I was wondering the same thing... Definitely has a nice stance going on.

I, for one, welcome our DefendLanderScovery overlords.

Taking a break over the weekend while doing some focus and scent work:

The price-point is DEFINITELY one of the major things going for them right now! Done a bunch of reading tonight too, sounds like they really are quite the rig when done-up properly (and in stock form too)!

:ylsmoke:

Thanks for taking the time to reply -- you're right, it sounds like we're on the same page about vehicle use! Glad to hear too that there's space for your GSD in the back; my Service K9 is a Rottweiler x Doberman, and definitely will be coming with us regardless of where we go, paved or...

Looking good! :)

Honestly, I don't know HOW I missed the Build Sticky, but I somehow did hahaha. Duly noted! :)

Yeah, there seems to be quite a few available up here, and the prices for a nice 2002 Limited with low miles aren't that bad!

Morning all, As I've continued the search to acquire a new rig to build up for my family (fiancee & 90lb dog), it never occurred to me to consider the Montero. I've mostly been ping-ponging back and forth between either a RRC, a D2, or a 2nd Gen Trooper. ... Recently though, I've started to...

Yeah, it definitely throws a wrench in my cogs too... it's such a fantastic looking rig!! I'm not very familiar with the Montero, let alone the Gen3, but from what I see, I like it, lol.

Man. This really makes me want to reconsider the idea of getting a RRC as a daily/weekend funrover...

How'd it all turn-out? Get that bad boy installed on the rig? :)

Subb'ed for an answer, hahaha! ... But yeah. Just kind of... Vanished...
