Project Cars: It's time for a Montero update!

My 1991 Mitsubishi Montero has been serving me well for a bit now. That said, there have been some upgrades and fixes recently so I figured it's time for a fresh video on the truck. This is where we stand now on Tony Montero...

Love your Montero journey. Post more please.

I had a forest green ‘91 LWB with all the bells and whistles. Absolutely loved the car. Bought it in San Diego 1997 and sold it in Grosse Pointe, MI in 2003. It was one of the best straight factory off road rides I’ve ever driven. Everything was beefy and nice. Mine had the auto lock hubs with the really nice factory wheels. Wish I wouldn’t have sold it of course just like I wish I wouldn’t have sold my ‘91 LWB boxy metallic gold and chrome Toyota Landcruiser in 1995.

I love seeing these, we don’t have many left in New England haha

My 93 has a solid check list before trail ride season starts out here in jersey. Shocks cv boot on the driver side and bushings!

I have been Looking for a cool family car and I think I found it. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. I have found a 91 for $4000 and a 95 for $2700. Going to check them out soon.

Looking great. Love what you are doing with the Montero. I like your plans for the truck. Refine and make it more driver-friendly.

[@thenerd888]

Great looking Montero! I have a gen 2.5 montero, replaced the idler arm after replacing the tie rods and realized it was the steering box backlash adjustment bolt. Not sure about the gen 1 but there might be one on there too.

[@carlo2596]

I love your montero build sooo much! More montero content pls.

[@baddriversofcolga]

I agree, it does look really good. Just the right amount of modded look to it. I'm surprised the stereo is so weak with aftermarket components. You could try adding an external speaker amp. Or just get someone who has experience with it to deal with it lol. In any case the Dynamat is supposed to help a lot for sound quality so it would probably be well worth it, especially in an older vehicle.

[@garrettcox]

Totally agree with the aesthetics of the Gen 1. I realize I'm in the minority here, but I upgraded my Gen 1 brakes to the larger rotor and calipers. I actually think it's more dangerous since the front wheels lock up much easier. Just something to be aware of.

I absolutely love your Monty. I had a 91 trooper v6 5spd. So I feel u on the weight issue. Even tho the Monty had much more power. Well a lil more. But what u should really try is an 04-06 Montero limited. Maximum power and 5spd automatic. My wife put 200k on her 2005. Relatively trouble free as well it was an off-road beast

Just bought a 1991 4-Door Montero 3.0L 5 Speed, was looking for an engine for my 90 2-Door Japanese Pajero 5 speed. Then while asking my mechanic if we should use this engine in my 90 to keep it original specs since it’s worth more and put a diesel in the 91 he said “If it were me I’d rebuild the 90 Pajero engine!”(He’s a championship winning rally race car driver)…..Not sure why he told me to just find a replacement engine for my 90 (Which I sourced the entire world for and couldn’t find one except a diesel swap) but I’m glad he put me on the wrong path, my wife not so much lol.

There's a way to tighten the steering box...you loosed the nut and turn the screw on top and tight the nut back up

[@bartbidlingmeyer3557]

Rivian R1T sighting! Way to bury the lead!

[@benreifhardt4471]

Looks Rad Jeff good job. What about the Wombat?

[@adammorris7975]

There is nut and bolt on on the gear box u can turn to take out the play for the most part don't turn to much at one time tho

[@bonniehopwood8079]

Alright, million dollar question.... Have you found any way to install cup holders? My one and only gripe! I have the same model in green, with the sunroof, and have also rebuilt from the block up (cracked head in my case, commonly happens on the left side rear). Did it all myself and probably should have made videos...but anyway.... cupholders?

[@bryllecelsius]

To turn the green light off, just reverse a few meters after you've switched back to 2h

[@owen_03montero]

Easier to get a gen 2 steering box. Makes steering way better.

[@sleepp6127]

Love our Montero but we’re struggling to find a transmission support for the 1990 v6 auto 4 door. All grey interior would also be nice but it’s impossible to find
