I love the satisfaction of conquering an obstacle that initially seemed insurmountable.
So reliable and well behave chasis...i`m on my fourth Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero here in Chile.
That exhaust sounds pretty nice. Very strong growl and loud.
Interesting suspension
Had to use mine today! Was mega steep 😅
Nice!
Nice car
Buen carro,me gusta mucho yo quisiera tener uno como este y es a todos terreno genial.👍❤️🇨🇱
Good they work. Now drop the tire pressure, and hit some trails!!!
Thanks and will do....
Lindo carro
what front grille and roof basket is that? I just got a 1997 sr myself and like the look of those.
That is a the factory bull bar, roof rack is a curt brand. Enjoy your '97 SR it's a beast; if you look at my recent videos, my Montero has been built up since this video with 320k on the original motor.
@@ricerupert wow nice! mine has 260k. What kind of essential maintenance have you needed to do? have to had an issues with the driver side window not rolling down? or the compass/temp gauge backlight not working?
@@HDBrizzy I've had replace the driver side window motor once but it does struggle to go up when I don't lube it, I think has to do with the old glass rubber guide. As far maintenance, just regular maintenance but make sure you change your water pump and timing belt if you haven't already.
@@ricerupert TB and water pump are next on my list, not sure if PO did it. Its leaking oil from the valve covers so plan on doing that at the same time. I noticed i didnt hear the valve tick from yours. have you done the VLAs and valve stem seals?
Can you run 33 12.50 15 tires on stock suspension with no modifications?
Yes, I believe some owners are running that setup with the factory wheels but I suggest getting re-geared to 4.9.
I'm currently running that set up on my 94 Montero Sr. All I did was raise the torsion bars and trim the front bumper a little.
Any idea what's the crawl ratio ?
On the video I still had the facotry 4.2 diff gears and the 1:9 stock transfer case gears on 32 inch all terrains. My current is setup is 4.9 diff gears with the stock transfer case gear, running on 35 inch mud terrain tires. I'll be upgrading the transfer case gears with the Marks 3:15 crawler gears soon... Hope that helped.
What is your tire/wheel spec? Any lift?
jeffrey ortiz-luis I don’t know him... But, I recommend you. BFG A-T KO2 235/85R16 I think better than stock size. It’s good for wet conditions. You can keep control in puddles and muddy roads. Of course gravel road to. I hope you find good ones. Thanks
My current setup now is 285/75/16 aka 33's with no lift. The old tires on video are 265/75/16 aka 32's...
are they factory lockers? what models and years have them? thanks
Factory rear lockers on the SR model I believe were from '92-'97. '98 on up, rear locker only came on the "Winter package".
@@ricerupert what do you mean winter package snow athlete one?
@@YourTypicalChannel 98-99 Montero with blistered fenders that have the winter package came with a rear locker.
What tire size do you use? 
On that video I was using 265/75/16 on stock suspension setup and lift. My Montero is completely now if you watch my current videos, using 315/75/16 on suspension and body lift 4.9 gear ratio.
Do you still have this 1995-6 montero?
Still have it, now has 255000 miles and still running strong. Now with ADD Bilstien 5100's, Falken Wildpeak mud terrains 33's, and snorkel.
Life of the Rooster Thank you for taking the time to reach out to me. I have a 1996 montero sr. It has 204,000. Is there any common problems that I should be aware about?
@@kadent7320 basic maintenance upkeep, fluids, time belts etc... check out the join the Facebook Montero USA page as other owners can provide lots of info. Also check out Adventure Driven Design forum.adventuredrivendesign.com/index.php/topic,342.0.html
Yes still have it but it's a '97 Montero
GEN2MADVENT I also still have it. I wish I could see yours
Have you try it driving up hill /
Yes, please watch my videos.
Hi. Can I swap a 95 sr locker into a 2000 gen2.5?
I'm not 100% sure but what I do know is the gear ratio is different. '96 and below years had 4.6 gears and '97 up are 4.27 gears. On my current videos I did swap to 4.9 gears from a Montero Sport and added a TRE front locker. I would ask on the Mitsubishi Montero USA Facebook group or on the forums.
@@ricerupert what's a good forum? It's so hard to find info on these vehicles. Atleast the u.s. specs

Is this automatic?
Yes
How s as automatic work in going up hill I in lower gear
@@josemolina7224 works great, with the transfer case in 4LO and trans in 1st gear it just crawls. This transmission is known to be bulletproof.
