It will be the family/wife mobile but I still want to add on to it if possible. I am still looking for a gen II or II.5 that's not rusted too. The Gen III is dark green and my wife likes it over a van so that's working for me, but they're asking 11 Gs for it so hopefully the maintenance has been done.

I have been very happy with mine...havent been offroading in last couple years cause of being really busy. But I have built mine to be able to go anywhere I need to go and probably places I shouldn't...lol. Do a simple search for Gen 3s on the board here and you will find a bunch of topics already on the subject that will answer your questions. Have a good one and hope you enjoy the Gen 3.

Still was a really fun trail and will do it again when I get a chance. I dont have anythin to prove as far as where i have been with my gen 3....as many saw a few years back i was pretty detailed with my trip pics....lol.....they are a great vehicle and VERY under-estimated as far as their capabilities imo. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> 03 Montero XLS, OME 2"suspension lift,Full skid plates, Extended Diff/transfer breathers. 34 LTB's, Winch w/syn rope, Locked front/rear.
