Hey guys,
I just want to say hello and start jumping into the pool of this Montero madness. I recently (yesterday) bought and registered mine here in long island. It is a 1999 Mitsubishi Montero sport XLS 4wd with 177K miles. I bought it from a kid that lived in queens and he brought the Montero with him from California. So this baby has been across the country. He came here to go to school and school is over!! So he wanted to get rid of it and I took it off his hands. I'll put up pictures when I figure out how to do it.
So nice to meet you guys my name is Armani (like the suit) and this is my first SUV and 4x4(I had a 05 matrix, 06 Pontiac GTO and 96 dodge ram 1500 before). I am excited to join the Mitsubishi family and see how far I can go with the Montero.
I will do my best to search the forum before I post any questions that have been answered already. And if you guys have any helpful tips about it, by all means let me know.
Thanks hope to hear from you guys soon

Welcome. I have an 04 GTO as well as my Montero. Awesome!! how long and whats your setup? I didn't get to set mine up I had it from mar 2012 to oct 2012, I lost her to sandy. I had plans though sadly I was crushed. I ended up getting a second set of rims with all seasons(it was my DD) and a stock clutch kit. Then, sandy happened so I have my clutch kit sitting there and I just sold off the rims.....its fun car. Power for days with the ls2 6.0 engine, and the way the trans shifted so smooth.......excuse me (goes to corner and cries) lol

2004 (LS1) Impulse Blue Metallic exterior with blue leather interior and an M6. 26k miles. I have black powder coated 17s. Long tubes, no cats, Flowmaster exhaust, lowering springs, some gauges, fancy valve covers and a few other odds and ends. I have a pile of bushings to get installed and I am probably going to be getting struts and shocks on it soon as well. It really needs to get a tune as well.... Just another money pit, lol. Sorry to hear about the Hurricane killing it... :-(   |

My looked the same way but I plasti dipped my rims and it looked nice with the flat black IMO, and my windows were 20% tinted but it came that way. And it had the blacked out tail lights.
Im glad you like it. I don't think I met anyone that did not like the car.
I see a lot of people have the 2000 and up MS more than the 97-99 is there a reason or did it just work out that way?

I would agree, but I don't know why that is. I don't know if I have ever seen a Montero Sport that doesn't look like the 00-04.

Well I don't know if I have the cali emissions stuff on mine but I passed the inspection lol. My mech just plugs into the vehicle and does it through the computer. As long as there is no check engine light im good.

besides most of the mechanics that I go to don't like me cause I know what to look for and I will like actually know if they mess with it. Like pep boys: I took my girlfriends Jeep WJ to get the oil changed and she only had it for 3 months so it was time. When she first got it I picked it out for her cause she wasn't sure so I looked it over roof rack to tire tread, clean no leaks anywhere. Pep boys does the oil and then it starts leaking oil!!?? So after she told me I went under and check it out, and you know what they loosened like 2 bolts when I checked it!! So I sent her to my little brother (he's a mechanic in a shop) and he found 7 more bolts loose!!! Aint that something?? cant trust no one to do right by your car without trying to stick it too you.
