Just in case anyone was wondering the true capability of the sport we just completed Red Cone trail in Colorado. The sport performed flawlessly. It kept up with all the jeeps and 4runners just fine. I'll I have done is put on 31s. If anyone knows off-roading in colorado then they know red cone. Just wanted to brag on the Monty.

Currently I've had very good experience with my 02 Sport AWD, considering it's rather basic drive train. I've been searching the local Parts yards for a 4.90 ratio third member w/LSD to no avail 🤦♂️. A rare bird.
In reality I may not need the LSD, but it would be a great addition/insurance for that unique situation if you know what I mean 😉.
Still gonna keep looking.
Safe travels, G.

Mine is also an 02 AWD. I happened upon an LSD from a junkyard find. It's definitely not the factory one as it's more of a torsen style than a clutch style. It makes a world of difference having it. Not as good as a locker but definitely helpful.

I almost landed one the other day for $500, guy just wanted it gone but I had to sink the cash into my own monty again. I think he said he sold it to the local junk yard, I can swing by when the listing is posted and take a look and see what it had back there. I'm in Louisiana, not sure if any of you guys would want to travel down here to get it though. (If it's a rare one lol) |

Long time folks👋,
Lucky me, I found a guy in Idaho who had 2(two) Hybrid LSD units for sale.
So,I made a deal and took the better condition unit,
$220.+shipping 👌.
I'm a happy camper😁.
And hopefully it gets installed this season.
Have a great weekend 🍻.

Haven't wheeled in a long time but I recently bought a 29ft 6,000lb RV to reno & flip. Had to drive an hour on extremely hilly back roads. It definitely struggled to keep the speed limit but it got that sucker home. Perfect way to test the newly rebuilt tranny
