In the process of bringing the new monty up to full operating status there are a number of 'necessities' that I'll need. No, this isn't an 'off-roader' charity thread so if you have what I want, just let me know what you want for it. Of course, if you want to consider me a charity and simply send it to me, that would be great too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> TIA!

Owners Manual
Just getting to know my rig better is all. I've already gotten the FSM but want the owners manual(s) as well if anyone has it. If you have a pdf of it, that would be excellent as well.

I checked ebay and there's one I'm gonna bid on (on the final day) and another that some fool wants $119 for. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

longer rear coils
I know there's valley but I'm not too keen on their products as I've had a bad experience with them before. What else is everyone running? Does Iron Man make a set for the Gen II monty? ARB? Yes, I've searched but it didn't come up with anything too conclusive unlike the gen I's (putting Gen II's in them).

timing belt / belts / pulleys / tensioner

All that junk is expensive... but when I was doing my Monty SR, I found the best price to be at Autozone Gates timing belt online for $55 The waterpump will rape you anyway you look at it. Advance auto will tell you the Montero SR didn't come with a 3.5 but I think they had the cheapest index on the waterpump that I had to cross refrence the part number found from Autozone.

Maybe a start for you but I had alot of fun rebuilding the top end of the SR I worked on 2 years ago.. I can't believe its been 2 years. I've become almost an expert after how many times I had to tear the top end apart on that truck to fix coolant leak problems.. Want to fly me out for a weekend? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As far as Coils I got the OME's ,They have med and heavy duty as well as torsion bars which I'll be getting and matched shocks.

I have OME #910. These were designed for Gen 2s and M.S.s.
OME 911 is a stiffer , little taller spring.

Look on "Rocky Roads" site for application chart and prices. That's where I bought mine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I think I may have an owners manual. I'll look around and let you know.

I've been running 2" rear coil spacers with the Stock springs for about 6 years now. Works great nice ride with the extra 2" helps keep the gas tank out of the rocks.

I pitched a owners manual set, in the pouch, even had the factory tire info card. You would not have wanted it anyway, it looked like someone had opened up the glove box and puked in it! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

Try Parts Train for the belt kit stuff. The tensioner is another pricy part, may not come with the kit. I reused one, had to compress it with a vice to pin it back. I would replace it if I wasn't so cheep <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm back in the bay area, have the next few weekends open if ya need a hand. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Are these the ones you fab'ed up a year or so ago? I may go this route too if they're easily available otherwise I may go the ARB/Ironman route. Last option would be the Valleys for me.

Uh..more like 7 years ago..I still have the mold maybe one day I'll make some more. Buy the poly and I'll pour a set for you if you want.

7 years?!? LOL, sorry. You know what they say with age... time flies faster. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I'm getting there I guess. Of course it doesn't help that my memory doesn't work like others... well sometimes it just doesn't work period.

And I forget you've been away on a couple of tours since you made yours.

Anyhow thanks for the offer. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Hi Ray,
I buy the timing belts for these from the dealer, the DOHC Mitsu engines are tough on the timing belt, the 6 cylinder less so than the 4s are but I have seen my share of 40K belt failures. A Conti brand belt has been the shortest lived belt so far.
The SOHC engines I will run any brand belt though.
