My Montero Sport Build
10
2001 Montero Sport ES 3.0L
I bought it new, and it did daily driver duty till 2006, at which point it got 4.90 gears, a rear ARB locker, 2"rear coils/2" body lift, and 33's.

I wheeled it for a year like that, then the SAS started.

Got my Dana44 from a 79 F150 and installed 4.88 gears and another ARB.

Used the wedge parts of the Ford radius arms, and spliced them to 2"x.250"DOM with some .250 gussets and 1" heims on the end. These arms ended up being 6" longer than stock. I located the axle an inch forward from the IFS centerline.

Had to modify the trans xmember to clear the arms. Now it bolts to the inside of the framerail instead of under it.

Thanks!
Trying to get out more this year. Crossed Harlan off my list last year, trying for Moab to be my next big trip. I'd love to get out to KOH too.
She's a trailer queen now. Getting 12-14mpg towing, that's better mileage than driving the Sport.

Let me know when you're heading out to Moab, if you wouldn't mind the company.Thanks!

Every time I re-read your stuff I start drooling.
The '99 to go under the knife the end of the month. Can't wait! I'm hoping to have it done and tuned by Sept.Edward

Lil flop. Was able to get pulled forward, might have been able to drive out of it, but didn't have the front locker ready. The air tank was empty, compressor was turned off and i would have had to idle in that position for 5 minutes to let the system get up to ARB pressure.
