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?
🌵🌵 Had the honor of hanging with @funkpockets from @the_montero_collective Friday night. Thanks for stopping by the shop! Good to see you and your cherry rig in my state. I don’t open my shop doors often, but Jamie is always welcome. I look forward to wheeling with you when I make it out to Cali this year. - @press.on.regardless #DriveWild
❗️❗️Sale ends today! We’ve got over $17,000 of #Mitsubishi #Montero stainless steel skid plate armor in stock and shipping out every week until they’re gone! TODAY is your last chance to get special discounted prices on gen 2 and 3 armor, that includes the ADD modular bumper. Do not miss out, I won’t be doing another run of Montero skids for a while and this is the LAST run including FREE SHIPPING (conus) - 🌵Thank you to everyone who placed a pre-order, keep an eye out for a big box showing up soon! #americanmade #armor #adventuredrivendesign #ADHD #offroad #pajero #expedition #overland #rockcrawler #notajeep #ifsftw #dakar #rallytruck #mitsubishimontero
#FBF - Wow! I’ve been designing #Montero parts with production intentions for over ten years now, here’s version 2 of the bumper I carry today (V3 in store now) mounted to my old quad cam SR on 37’s. My sense of humor hasn’t changed much, nor has my love for the box gen 2. But a lot of things have. For instance, the version 3 bumper was redesigned to be modular, it covers the gen 2 narrow & wide, and the gen 2.5. Eventually it will fit the gen 1 as well. I do miss those days sometimes, I had a lot more free time to play in the snow and romp around off-road. But I’m doing something I always dreamed of. These days I spend most of my free time in the shop making & assembling Montero parts, packing orders, shipping, moving materials in for production or ordering components I provide to the Montero community. A lot of time is spent making the website function better and learning how to make everything in the company work cohesively while pursuing better products and further business partnerships. I’ve been fortunate enough to maintain access to many rigs with extreme build styles and that’s allowed me to further develop products for the Montero community. As of 2020 I’ll be taking a brief break from Montero R&D to release a number of #Toyota parts. I will continue to produce and release ADD branded Montero parts, and eventually keep stock of all the items I currently manufacture. So tell your AZ Toyota buddies, I’ll be looking for rigs to test fit my products on. They’ll be getting a discount in exchange. 🤙🏽 if you live in AZ and you’d like to link up, send a DM and I’ll add you to my test fit list. I love yotas, but I’ll always be a mitsu driver. 🏎💨 (note there’s always a #VR4 in the background 😁) thanks for the amazing year everyone, - @press.on.regardless #DriveWild

Skidplate update: Thank you to everyone who participated in the skidplate preorder sale and everyone that’s been patient with my abysmal communication. Skids completely sold out before production began. Some design revisions for better fitment, my email being bogged down, along with working a lot of extra hours at the engineering firm and a few personal automotive set backs has delayed the manufacturing, but they’re all laser cut and being formed currently. The spam attack on my email and website that started mid summer has finally been resolved and I’m slowly getting back to a huge pile of emails, if you haven’t received a reply, please forward your previous email to me along with your order number and I’ll update you. The next skid run will be in late spring. If you’ve emailed asking for tech advice or how to best outfit your Montero, the Facebook page for Monteros is the best place to start. I can’t get to all emails and still maintain productivity, so I’m only answering emails that pertain to orders. I do appreciate your interest and understanding! I’ve also recently fixed an issue with the website that was allowing people to purchase products that were not in stock. If you’ve placed an order and immediately got a refund, it was due to an out of stock situation. This has been extremely frustrating when trying to manage inventory and orders. It’s caused a lot of confusion and in some cases a lot of grief. The old store will be closing at the end of the year and the new store will be loaded in the first quarter of 2020. It’s going to be a huge undertaking but will make the experience and communication a million times easier/better. Thanks for hanging with me while I work through this. You’re welcome to follow my personal page @press.on.regardless for regular mechanical failure updates as I try to daily drive a junkyard built VR4 and a 300,000 mile Montero over 500 miles a week to get things done for the Montero community. #DriveWild 🌵
OEM parts update: Due to the closure of the cypress headquarters location near LA, and the ongoing construction of the Riverside location, all parts requests are being fulfilled by a single hub in Georgia. Orders have been extremely delayed due to logistics and they’re finally rolling in, I’m shipping them out every day. I will be closing down the OEM parts section until the west coast location is reactivated. We’ve sold more gen 1/2/3 crank bolts and thermostats than any dealer in America! Second photo is from my first day off in the last three months. Went to the Mogollon Rim for some much needed 4WD fun. Found a lot of snow and mud and great views. We do have a limited run of saguaro keychains in stock! Update on skids coming in the next post. #DriveWild 🌵
