So whats next on the list for the Montero. Lemme guess, bumpers and winch? No wait, gears and lockers.... Or maybe skids and small projects? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> See, there's always something to mod. Man, this sport gets expensive <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />


You hit the nail on the head! I need an on-board air compressor for airing back up. I am gonna need body armor with all of the rocks out here. Front and rear bumpers, rock rails, and better skid plates underneath. With all the stories I read about people getting in tight spots, a winch is going to be a life-saver. I would like a roof rack for putting all of our camping gear, with a mount for a hi-lift (I definately need one of those now too, although until I get new bumpers/rock rails, I don't know where I would attach to if I need to change a tire <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />), and room for extra fuel and water cans.

I will need some additional lighting for off-road, especially since Joe is talking about doing a night run on the Slaughterhouse trail <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />. New 4.90 gears would be ideal, and if I do that, of course I need to put in a front locker. For some of the stream fording, I should also get a snorkel and extend my diff breathers. WOW! That is just the short list of essentials. Good thing my wife is going back to work! Maybe she will give me $10K so I can get started...
