MONTERO gets NEW OWNER and couple final upgrades | Project "Vader's Chariot"

Well, it is time for me to move on to another vehicle, so after upgrading my gen3 2001 Mitsubishi Montero XLS with a couple last minute doodads that I've been searching for for awhile, the moment has come.
Also it's 2024, so we need some hashtag SICK CONTENT and there's a chance I'll deliver :)
Thanks for passing 3k!

Your Montero is still my favorite build. Congrats on the move. Can't wait to see what you do with the new project.

[@LeoTheRussian]

Haha yeah I'm down the "imma keep it stock" road already: 2 inch lift, larger tires, rear suspension airbag delete/coil conversion, new steering wheel, tint, interior mods, trimmed stuff to clear tires etc... plus going offroad in the Monty back to FL this weekend

@@LeoTheRussian Would love to see some work on the new machine... it can get a total monster if you put the passion you have for this cars!

[@LeoTheRussian]

@@Zeratursa it has a 2 inch lift, 5x275/70R17 AT tires and new wheels, full chrome delete, new LC300 steering wheel, a few interior upgrades, molle panels and been tested on a couple roadtrips now. Just need to get the videos edited.

Montero, la Leyenda! Gran trabajo!

Woaaaaaa that end!!! Yota Gang I was getting sad at first but then I saw the light at the end of the tunnel

[@LeoTheRussian]

Yeah, selling wife's RX this weekend finally. Gonna be classic Japanese 4x4 garage

[@samson2395]

I like how cider always sneakks its way into the videos 😂

[@LeoTheRussian]

@samson2395 gotta stay consistent. I may have a couple today ngl

[@snowrider4363]

I have a Montero and plan on getting the jeep headlights and doing the conversion. Your Montero looks like nothing else on the road because the lights. Thanks for doing that vid! Mitsubishi made a jeep only in japan, would love to import one.

[@LeoTheRussian]

Appreciate it. It's taken on a life of its own and been a fun process 100%

[@gnasherdk4878]

Shit Im keeping mine til the heat death of the universe. Great content as always!

[@LeoTheRussian]

These things get under your skin. And definitely have a lot of upsides even over the GX

[@BattleshipSailorBB63]

Hey man, I don't think you ever did a video on adding the Montero push bar. Which one is that? I'm purchasing a Gen 3 this weekend and getting a lot of ideas from your old videos. But yeah, that front bar.....I need one!

[@LeoTheRussian]

I didn't film it. Just cleaned it up, bedlined and bolted it up. :)

[@BattleshipSailorBB63]

@@LeoTheRussian Good deal. What bar is it though? Is that the stock (optional) Mitsubishi one? If so, I need to figure out how to find one. If not, what Brand is it? That's exactly what I want.

[@LeoTheRussian]

@BattleshipSailorBB63 pretty sure its the oem. My brother found it in a junkyard in Daytona and took it off for me. Didn't see any stickers on it or anything however

Наконец правильный паджерик,тайоты надоели уже везде

[@jacqueswilliams6531]

Where did you grt the bull bars. Is there a video i missed?😮

[@LeoTheRussian]

No video, just installed it. Brother found at a junkyard in Daytona and kept for me while I was in Maryland. Now that I'm back south - grabbed it from him finally and put on

[@OnlyMrFritz]

Where are your videos man!? Make some!

[@LeoTheRussian]

Just too busy living life tbh. Trips, work, pool time etc. I have a couple vids shot, but need to edit. I work as a videographer now pretty much so editing more stuff on weekends haven't been a priority

[@Wecanslide_HSW]

Funny...I'm glad I had it playing until the end because I was about to unsubcribe. I was here for Montero content lol. My bad man.

[@LeoTheRussian]

Haha yeah tbh that was indeed the plan when I got the GX. Then one thing leads to another and we're going to be a 3 car household long term. His and hers 4x4 plus sports car/GT is the goal

[@Wecanslide_HSW]

@@JordanBlue1 because I thought there would be no more Montero content
