Gen 3 Introduction

Yeah there are those little mudflaps things on the rear wheel at least but I thought it looked like it might screw off

Yeah it does look like that. I couldn't tell how much of the wheel well cover would have to be unscrewed and removed to find out. The sawzall was handy and took seconds.

I am planning on removing my running boards too, but I am going to wait until I am ready for rock sliders.

Where are you guys getting the OME lifts for the Gen 3s? I have an '02 that if I ever get the hell out of this eternal training, I want to make a little more capable. It has 265/75/16s now, but I want to go a little bigger. By the way for those of you that live in NM, you have some beautiful places around here. I only wish I had my Monty with me to travel a little further offroad than Ive been able. My wife decided she needed to keep it to travel with the dog, so Im stuck with her Suby. Not nearly as off-road capable as I would like.

Got mine from Sierra Expeditions

 

[Bueller?]

I have priced them from Sierra Expeditions and Rocky Road and they seem to be comparable. I have read more positive recommendations for Sierra, for whatever that is worth. It also seems that shipping can take a few weeks with both vendors. I have not placed my order yet and am thinking I want to do the bumper and suspension at the same time.

 

[Jaynen]

Mine shipped very fast from Sierra and they answered all my questions multiple times a day via email

 

[off-roader]

Both Rocky Road and Sierra Expeditions buy their ARB products (and ARB distributed products such as the snorkels) from ARB USA in Washington. If ARB USA doesn't have it in stock then you'll have to wait for the next shipment that has them coming in.

Same here, my local guy buys all his stuff from ARB USA. Next thing that I will be getting from them is LOCKERS!

 

[off-roader]

Having said that though, I've always had awesome customer service from Wil Kuhns (owner) at Sierra Expeditions. Never met the guy but he's always been good to me when I've bought stuff from them.

 

[Jaynen]

yeah that was funny my lift dropped shipped from ARB I could have gone over and picked it up

All right I checked the Sierra Expeditions website, and couldnt find anything but snorkles for the 3rd Gen Montero. Are they just coils that you guys are buying? If so what are the part numbers.

 

[off-roader]

You have to look it up on ARB's website (http://www.arbusa.com/uploads/PDF/accessorizeYourRig/mitsubishiMonteroNM.pdf) or call Sierra expeditions for the right part numbers.

 

[cnutco]

I need to call about their snorkels. I have not found one that is a direct match for a Gen 3 with the 3.8L engine. So far I will have to modify one for the 3.5L engine to fit mine.
