    It was dead… and now it’s not. That’s a nice thing about cars. As long as they’re not crinkled into oblivion, they can be brought back to life. Regarding the fate of my Montero, the cost of bringing it back from the brink was pretty high. But in the end, I deemed it worth it…

    I love this truck. Of all the vehicles I’ve owned, I haven’t felt much of an emotional connection. I’ve enjoyed them, certainly, but when it’s time for one to shuffle off to a new owner, I’m okay with that. The Montero, however, is different. I’ve taken this one on adventures. My daughter has grown a…

    The Montero is at the shop and my Mustang is in the garage. Only one of these was planned. About a month ago, I was heading towards Arrowhead in California. Before starting the climb up Rt.330 which would take us there, I noticed an unwelcome noise coming from the engine in my Montero. My wife…

    I recently spent a weekend at a 24 Hours of Lemons race event. You can read about that here. Today though, I’m taking some time to talk about how I slept at the event. The year prior, I first attempted to sleep inside my Montero. The next night I smartened up and set up a…

    I said I wasn’t going to put a roof on top of my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero. Plans change. Especially when those plans change to work around an incredibly light bit of kit that I can easily take on and off my truck. The fine folks at Go Fast Campers reached out to see if I…

    I already have a radio that works in my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero. It’s a Clarion M508 marine unit that looks simple enough, connects to my phone, and plays music. Basically, it does what you expect of a solid radio. And I’m about to ditch it for something way more interesting; a Panasonic CQ-VX5500. This is…

    My 1991 Mitsubishi Montero is set for some fun upgrades. I recently installed a new Gamiviti roof rack, so I can eventually add an awning. Our friends at Dometic sent over the CFX3 45 powered cooler and the PLB40 portable battery system. Additionally, I also bought the GMR45 radio system from Rugged so I can…

    I wasn’t going to do it… I told myself I didn’t want a roof rack on my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero. But as I’ve grown to use this a bit more for adventure, my desire to increase its functionality has changed my plans. I want to add an awning to the truck and that means I…

    It’s amazing what some quick fixes can do to a project vehicle. With my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero, I slapped on some fresh exterior parts and the truck looks so much better for it. For this quick update, I put on the bumper over-riders, change out the turn signal plastic, and put a fresh Mitsubishi decal…

    I’ve wanted a dash cam for a while now. Both for the insurance aspect of owning one plus the potential for capturing insane or awesome stuff while out and about. Nextbase recently hit us up to offer a few units to test, and I jumped at the chance. Especially since Nextbase touts its flagship model…
