here's what I did with my 01 monty ltd. (85000 mile)I changed the shocks and springs with ones from OME Suspension(medium rate is preferred). Check out Rocky-Road.com.I also changed the wheels/tires to 17s with 265/70/17 rubber.This mod raises the ride to 3.75 inches higher than stock.The overall effect is perfect for on/offroad performance.Cornering, towing, and full load driving is greatly improved. Also, I changed my stock air filter with cold air intake from Injen Technology(they make one from monty sport ltd.but will fit monty perfectly.this mod adds 10hp and 20mpg per tank. i still have original rotors with no other problems so far.

Does anyone have experience with aftermarket shock absorbers. How does Monroe stack up against OE, or others? Also, will aftermarket springs help improve the ride? Thanks.

I have a 91 Montero 4x4 with the 4-speed auto w/OD. It often shudders into gear and has a hard time staying in gear when the wind blows really hard while I'm doing 50+. I was told that it was the torque converter. That's a $576 repair price. Is this for real, or is there something else I can do? It has almost 200,500 miles on it. Thanks!

I own a 2001 Montero with more than 49,000 miles and have not had any brake problems. I'm sure they are approaching replacement time. I also ran the original Brdigestone tires for 44,000 before they neede to be replaced.

Had a 2001 with 80k plus and no issues that I replaced with a Denali Yukon to pull boat and trailer we got last year.
Now just replaced wife's car with 06' Montero Ltd...really missed it and with the pricing out there now, no better deal for this sized SUV. Looked also at the Commander, but with 3rd row, when folded down, the cargo space is really limited and optioned out, was still going to be over 12k more for us.
The Monty may not have a couple things (nav, memory seats, satellite radio), but for the money, really a great vehicle. I really like the updated white gauge faces too!

Update on my sister's Montero. She still loves it. Has had absolutely no problems with it. Continues to take her to some of the roughest locations in the mountains of NC without complaints. She now has 85k miles on it.
Great vehicle, hate to see them leave the US.
