My friend's Montero rear cargo door handle mechanism went belly up yesterday. Do you know if the mechanism is a piece of pot metal which may have broken or an actuator arm which might have only lost something like a press on type keeper or what? Just trying to figure out what may need replacing. Rode it it the other day. That's one sweet ride. I saw that it had "locker" for high and low. He wasn't even aware of it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Is that just rear or both? That thing rides like a Cadillac compared to my 89 Trooper.

thanks guys,

Not sure about the door latch mechanism but you can download the factory manuals from mitsubishilinks.com for the 92 or 96 which have the same mechanism so you can get an idea what you'll be dealing with. Is it to where he can't open it at all or can he open it from either the inside or outside latches?

As for the locker, there is a transfer case locker (mechanically actuated?) and a rear differential air actuated locker. A front air locker is available from ARB.

In many cases, a stock mitsu will outperform other stock/near stock rigs on the trail and in almost every case it will surprise those not familiar with it the first time they see what it's capable of off road. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
