I haven't seen a pic of your truck on a trail that I couldn't do in my STOCK Montero...maybe you've done it, I just ain't seen it.


It has to be said that the first time I went to URE I saw Curtis drive over rocks etc that I didn't even attempt with my then stock Gen II. Despite that I was the one who got completely beached on my rear diff. I would love to see some more pics of Curtis' truck showing how capable it is, but I think you are being a little harsh.

What Nathan is saying is that our community is a bunch of huge pansys where very few are willing to try difficult modifications.


I think a lot of people would modify their truck in a more serious manner if they were able to. My Montero is my wife's DD and our kid carrier. I simply cannot have my truck sitting in the garage with the IFS chopped off when my kids need to go to school etc. Plus modifications are not free. My kids need for shoes comes first. I think a lot of people are in the same boat. I do have future plans though. If I can build a Locost I can mod a Montero <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
