[color:"red"] 2000 Montero Endeavor Build [/color]

I recently sold my beloved 1991 Montero LS with a 3.0 V6 and automatic transmission to a fellow member. As a replacement I purchased a rare 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Endeavor with 26K miles. This vehicle will better suit my needs because I need the extra seats. The plan is to create an expedition vehicle on a modest budget.

What I have to work with:

-2000 Mitsubishi Montero Endeavor with a very low 26K miles. This is a rust free vehicle and the only owner was a 76 year old man and his wife. (Endeavor was top of the line and it was only available for the 2000 model year)

-3.5 SOHC V6 engine rated for 200 hp and 234 ft lbs torque.

-Aisin Warner AW 30-40LE(A340F) 4 speed automatic transmission This tranny is compatible with Atlas transfer cases.

-KM120 Transfer Case with ActiveTrac 4wd. Marks4wd offers 3.15 gearing solutions for this transfercase. (The ActiveTrac system allows the driver to select one of 4 modes: 2WD, AWD, 4WD High Locked CDL, 4WD Low Locked CDL. The ABS brakes were re-calibrated to function in all modes. You can also shift between modes at speeds of 62 mph. The Rear differential locker is functional in all modes as well.)

-9 1/2" coil sprung, solid rear axle with 4.27 gears (ARB and Mitsubishi both have air lockers available for this axle, most 1992-2001 Montero were fitted with a rear locker which is a direct bolt-in third member.)

-8" independent suspension front axle with double A-arms, torsion bars and Aisin auto-locking hubs. (ARB makes a locker for this axle. Gearing solutions are available for both front and rear axles if needed through Mitsubishi.)

-Driver and passenger side heated leather seats.

-Power Sunroof, windows, A/C, heated mirrors, third row seats etc.

-Roof Rack

-No Rust

-Great adjustable OEM suspension


My Plans:

-Airtec Snorkel

-Aisin manual locking hubs, for better reliability, fuel economy and to reduce wear on front end components

-Camp Chef Stove/oven/grill combo

-Custom drawer system

-33" tires. Not sure on the width or brand yet.

-4.63 gears

-Camping Lab 71x94 Roof Top Tent

-JAOS fender flares

-JAOS mud flaps

-JAOS rear door ladder

-ARB front bumper

-Mitsubishi rear locker

-Rocky Road super sliders (after I remove the running boards)
