🌵🌵Summer is in full swing in the southwest and that means regular sunset trail rides. During the winter months I’m usually working through the sunset. In the summer the later sunsets make for a great way to wind things down. 🌅 We hit a favorite local trail tonight and stopped to snag a photo, the only other vehicle on the trail was hiding in the distance... another #Montero ! I waved to the man standing nearby and he waved me over. As I got closer I realized it wasn’t just any Montero, it’s my friend (and awesome chiropractor) Richard! We hung out for a bit while he set base camp and I noted a sticker on his trailer from an armed forces group his father was a part of known as the “Wild weasels” their motto “you gotta be shitting me” their task, suppression of enemy air defenses. Locating and destroying radar and hidden surface to air missile installations. Their balls, solid steel. Flying as decoys they allowed enemy radar to lock on them as a target, allowing others to identify and destroy the source of the radar, hopefully before they got any missiles launched! 😮 🚀 #mitsubishi #montero #pajero #dakar #rally #offroad #expedition #overland #4wd #superselect #pajeroevolution #pajerodakar

You guys remember when #MOD was a thing? Here’s a shot from 2018 at the now closed LA branch where Mitsubishi Owners Day West was held. Recently @larry_chen_foto posted photos of this #lancer and it reminded me of walking up next to my #montero , looking out at this old beauty, being admired by a @mitsubishimotors employee. MOD brought everyone together. After the car meet the 4wd crowd oftentimes went for a trail ride up near big bear or found camping in cooler elevations. It’s with much sadness I announce my local dealer closed down amidst this pandemic. They will not be reopening doors and all OEM parts orders will be cancelled and refunded. My apologies for any inconvenience, this was a surprise to me and the staff at the dealer. All non oem parts are shipping as normal.

☢️☣️⚠️ Business will remain open through quarantine and shipments will go out Monday-Thursday as my day-job is classified as essential. Ive been in the engineering firm every day; a piece of equipment we designed at work recently killed Covid19 in lab tests against airborne and surface contamination, within 1 hour of implementation it killed off 99.9% of air and 75% of surface. We’ve been increasingly busier as a result, my days have been long, many of our suppliers & sub-cons are pushing our work to the front of the line and waving expedite fees due the impact this thing could make. I’m both proud of my work and worried that it will become necessary for survival in the future. I know things are crazy right now, I hope you’re all holding up. Many people are stuck home, many without work temporarily, some won’t have a place of work to return to. For those of you trapped with the ones you love, count your blessings. To the other essentials, thank you for showing up. To all those in uncertain times, we feel for you, to those of you stuck alone, we’re still connected. Believe me this will change how money flows in the economy and a lot of people are gaining new perspectives about local and global business. I’ve spent some of this downtime finally working on my own rig. My shop-cat Ali is seen here watching over my work as I eliminate the factory infinity amp. I’ll be posting details on the ADD forum of how quick and easy it is to bypass this thing. The factory amp has been dead for a year but Goldilocker is rockin again 🎶 Stay home, stay safe. 😷😷 #mitsubishi #montero #pajero #4wd #mitsubishimontero #monterosport #mmc #adventuredrivendesign #drivewild #monterocollective #monteromafia
Rainy day ream work makes the dream work. ⚙️ Panhard bar-pre order is over with! “thank you!” to those who participated. I just got a new final ream for the mis-alignment spacers, these go into the chromoly joints on each end. This run will be getting a nice fresh tool finish 😎, then checked on my go/no-go gauge,🧐 then fit to the chromoly joints. 🔧 The housing of each joint is fitted with a grease service point 💦 and fixed to the adjustable 7075 aircraft 🛬grade solid aluminum panhard bar. These assembled units will be shipping 📦 out soon. Oh, if you missed out, there’s still 2 left! You can follow the link on this profile to purchase. 🤙🏽 thanks again!
ADHD - Adventure Driven Hardcore Design - 7075 Aircraft grade adjustable panhard bar. ⚙️ If you own a gen 1/2/2.5 #Montero or gen 2 #MonteroSport and your truck is lifted, or you plan to lift it, you need this part! If you wheel in rocky regions or subject your truck to harsher than average off roading, you need this part! 🌵 the ADHD bar is fully adjustable on the vehicle; the panhard bar is used to keep the rear axle centered. Any amount of lift will shift the axle to one side causing tracking issues and making your drive require more input from the operator. #DriveWild in style and comfort knowing that this beefy bar will protect your backside. Designed to accept shock loads and spring back to shape, this bar will take 100x the abuse a stock bar can handle. The first time you come down off a log or rock and smash your stock panhard, you will very likely bend it. ⚠️ Pre-Order sale is open, these are currently in production and selling out quick. (only 3 left) They are shipping around March 15th. Order yours via the web store today. Link is in profile or just head to www.adventuredrivendesign.com and click on the store button in the top corner. #mitsubishi #montero #pajero #offroad #expedition #dakar #adventuredrivendesign #ADHD #ADD #americanmade #madeinamerica #mitsubishimontero
Great seeing my designs being put to use! @themodernexpeditionist was recently in a front end accident with a deer and since the stock bumper is NLA, insurance helped him get our modular builder bumper! He then added an @official_trailgear stinger kit and said it fit together like they were made for each other. Great work man! #DriveWild #montero #mitsubishi #offroad #fabrication #diy #adventuredrivendesign
⚙️ 🔧 🔨 3.8 liter engine upgrade anyone? My only regret in taking on this swap? I only wish I had done it sooner. What a nice jump in power and torque. The truck drives up 7% grades effortlessly, I’m extremely happy with it. But if you’re like me; a thorough and detailed researcher, someone who takes an engineering approach to mechanical work, or if you’re just gun shy on a project until you feel fully confident... you probably haven’t done the 3.8 swap yet. There’s a lot of information out there, some of the most detail info is on my forum, but there’s also a lot lacking and a lot of contradictory info. So I’ve taken detailed notes while upgrading the engine in Goldi-Locker and I’m working on a write up to answer a lot of questions and clear up a lot of misinformation. Who else is planning this swap??🔥🔥🔥 Time to #DriveWild 🌵 #adventuredrivendesign #expedition #overlanding #mitsubishi #pajero #dakar #rallytruck #montero #engineswap #6g75
#Mitsubishi #Montero in the #Ozarks - @drivenoverland took another awesome trip. Check them out for more photos. Stefan’s truck runs a handful of ADD parts to help keep his rig safe and reliable on these long trips. 📷: @overland_pajero
#TBT to misty mountain mornings and a different kind of adventure #Mitsubishi - before moving to the southwest I sold my SAS’d #MonteroSport and my full size #Montero. Both on 37’s. But one car I had to bring down was my girl’s 76 #Mitsubishi #Galant aka #Dodge #Colt - factory equipped with a gas sipping 1.6 liter i later upgraded the engine to a 2.6 from a Montero 👌🏾 it’s fun how @mitsubishimotors made it easy to swap things around and upgrade power plants. I was also one of the first to stuff a turbo #4G63 into one of these cars. Currently I’m upgrading the 3.5 in my 99 Montero to a 3.8. As with any engine swap, it has its challenges but overall it’s not bad. Have you ever dreamed of an engine swap? #mivec , #1uz , #ls1 , #hemi ?
#MyMontero - One winter years ago when I still lived in Michigan, I flew out to Los Angeles and bought this super clean Gen 1 SWB, then took an awesome adventure road trip back home, meandering all over the place, off roading along the way and meeting up with friends when I could. #DriveWild #AdventureDrivenDesign
⚠️⚠️ My girlfriend is selling her beautiful Gen 1 #Mitsubishi #Montero ! Asking $6k firm. 91 V6 3.0 with 5.29 differential gear upgrade and rear limited slip, lifted with #OldManEmu suspension and nitrocharger shocks, practically every dealer option possible with receipts, great condition brown interior, 33” Goodyear wranglers on 15” allow wheels with matching spare. High output alternator and optima yellow top battery. Set up for dual batteries. Has air bags in the rear for extra load capacity and is capable of hauling a decent size adventure trailer (that was its primary use before we got it) has lots more to it than what’s listed but those are the important bits. - inbox for details or anything else. We’ve driven this thing all over Arizona! It’s a well built machine and I’m sad to see it go. #DriveWild #MyMontero #MitsubishiMontero #arizona #4wd #offroad #expedition #overland #classic #japanesenostalgiccar #radwood
#VR4 Parts runner. Took “Johnny two-tone” to the dealership today to pick up the latest shipment of revised crank bolts and thermostats. All OEM parts orders will be shipping out Monday. I’m taking tomorrow off to work on the 3.8 swap for Goldilocker, my 99 Montero. Is your #Montero your only car? If not, what’s your “other” car? The VR4 is a limited edition, turbo charged, all wheel drive, all wheel steering chassis used in #WRC prior to the development of the Lancer Evolution, often referred to as the “Evo Zero” this potent powerhouse generally goes unnoticed by most car enthusiasts as only 3000 were ever imported to the United States. 🏎💨
Headed into the weekend like... 😯 Speaking of #MonteroSport - here’s a vid of @stoobie13 gettin nutty in the woods! #DriveWild - #mitsubishi #montero #offroad #rally #jumps #overlanding #offroading #4wd #hoonigan #fullsend
Why #AmericanMade steel is important! A short photo series. Before moving to the Southwest I spent years in the largest integrated steel mills on earth. I learned from the industry’s leaders that American metallurgy is not only a science we’ve perfected; but it’s a matter of a national security. I traveled around the country to different steel mills, but most times my job site was the old Bethlehem steel foundry, an hour drive from my home and in the path of the worst “lake effect” snow storms the coast of Lake Michigan could generate. ❄️ In the winter months my @mitsubishimotors #Montero was the only vehicle capable of delivering me to work, and there were days I didn’t think I’d make it, but I always did. American industry can’t wait around for snow storms, the steel produced at these plants fed auto manufacturing and most forms of sheet metal work nationwide and globally. These slabs would turn into 80” wide, 60 foot long sheets of steel, entering the mill at 5mph and hitting the coiler on the other end at nearly 70mph under extreme force. American metal is stronger, lasts longer and has more consistency than any other country’s. We do not share our metallurgical secrets because our steel is what makes us stronger and more resilient as a nation. These are reasons why I proudly choose American made metal and why I manufacture all of my parts here in the United States. I might drive a Japanese truck, but I protect it with American steel, and you should too. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 - @press.on.regardless 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵 America made stainless steel skids plates are in stock and shipping out daily. American made modular steel bumpers are in production and will be ready to ship in two weeks. Production runs are limited, so get yours today! #DriveWild (Link is on profile for the webstore) 🌎 ⚙️ 🔧
Nearly 20 years ago I bought my first #Montero, a 97 #MonteroSport. I still love the way these things look. At the time I lived in Michigan and wanted a winter beater to keep the salt off my cars. I jammed a Cherokee leaf into the rear leaf pack, cranked the torsion bars enough to fit 32” mud terrain tires and welded the spider gears in the diff for a full-time locked rear.🤪This truck was extremely low budget but it did a great job of getting me through college and protecting my cars from corrosion. I would park it most of the summer aside from random trail runs and mostly drove my Galant VR4, then later an EVO VIII, but every winter id fire it up and put it back to full time work smashing snow drifts, bombing back roads and trails through Michigan. It never let me down and sold me on the Montero chassis for its ability and agility. What got you into Monteros?
