Give me a Mohenic Garages Montero instead:
Ill take mine in this color combo
....or maybe this
The interiors are weird and well crafted and amazing
Hmmm....on second thought maybe ill take this color
Yes it is a full on restoration with as much attention to detail as Icon. If those are Rancho shocks though :(
They are fucking perfection.

I’m holding my breath for a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado KZJ78W from Flex..
..room spinning, edges getting dark, feeling faint...

That’s awesome, but 1KZ was never a factory option for the 70 series.

Yes! This is great inspiration for my 1st gen rebuild.

Only a couple years left if youre in the US waiting to import

The best part is you can get lucky and find a clean 1st gen for like $3k and bring it back to life for relatively cheap and you have a beautiful and capable truck that nobody really knows about. I love 2nd gens the most but they will never look this good.

Something like this would make me very happy as well for a great price. I would wrap/dip it matte black with a white roof and absolutely beat on it. 5 speed and low miles too but Troopers arent always as reliable as a 1st gen montero.

Picked up my 87 SWB a few months ago for $850. So far I’ve spent about $120 and bought almost everything I need to replace brakes and freshen suspension along with a few gaskets.

That is a lot of truck for $2900. I am stripping the poor “done on a farm” paint job of my Montero and need to decide on colors but I do like that contrasting roof idea.

wow even cheaper than I thought. Rockauto is the best thing ever

I hate the steering wheel, but its gorgeous other than that

I wonder if there’s anybody making fancy reworks of the Mahindra MM540.
![]() 04/20/2017 at 12:12 |
|
Yeah its all custom so I would want just a nice modern alcantara wheel
![]() 04/20/2017 at 12:13 |

I didnt even know those were a thing, but im sure there are if you search hard enough

Rockauto is great and the Montero is in the perfect spot right now where there are still NOS parts available buy many are on closeout. Can’t beat a Brembo rotor for $16.

For whatever reason I love me some Monteros.

You’d think they’d give you more than a $90 Grant Mahogany wheel you can order off of Jegs...

The original KO looks so good on these old boxes. The KO2 looks a little too “bro-dozer” to me.
![]() 04/20/2017 at 12:31 |

Yep when i bought my k02 I wanted the originals so badly for looks but the performance of the new ones is better in every way
![]() 04/20/2017 at 12:33 |
|
What year is that, and did we get those in the US?
![]() 04/20/2017 at 12:33 |
|
I totally agree, the new ones are better tires. It’s just a shame the sidewalls look the way they do!
![]() 04/20/2017 at 12:33 |
|
That’s beautiful.
![]() 04/20/2017 at 12:35 |
|
especially when sidewall performance only really matters aired down rock crawling and such. The clean cutoff on the originals looks so good

Its a first gen so 1982-1991 and its a hyundai galloper technically but we got them as mitsubishi monteros. They came in 2 and 4 door models and with manual or auto every year I think.

Yeah the want is extreme

super clean body and interior with the manual trans, just swap in a new motor and you would have a great cheap truck. Believe me, these first gen monteros are beasts and super reliable for how old they are.
![]() 04/20/2017 at 12:44 |

Yeah the first time I went to their site I was in love. I wonder if they do different motor options. Ill take one with an ls1.

I’ve always been kinda eh on the Montero, but I think I’ve never seen one that early. It looks good.
![]() 04/20/2017 at 13:28 |

Yeah, that doesn’t add up. It’s an LJ78 with the 2L-TE mostly likely. In any case, he can have it, or just get a 4Runner now.
HD 70 series or GTFO.

Prado though..

It’s actually an issue of $$.. as a Canadian I could import 2002 HZJ76K this afternoon;
It would run ~$20,000 though.

Oh, yeah. I suppose you’re technically correct. The best and worst kind of correct.

Oh man, that is beautimous. Too bad there are only Montero Sports for sale around here....

Its worth traveling for some of the absurdly cheap craigslist 1st and 2nd gen monteros. Such underrated trucks.

Second gen, 3 door, are the best looking one, but front independent just kills it!
