<![CDATA[1997 Montero]]>Just picked up a 97 Montero my customer traded in. Planning on doing some tires, safari rack, bull bar and some lights. Any suggestions on parts would be wonderful. I think I am going to have to watch ebay/craigslist to find a used brush guard/ Bull bar. There is none out there that are decently priced on the web.

Anyone who knows someone with a montero this body style, with a bar on the front of it, I would be interested in buying it regardless of condition. Also, any suggestions on parts/mods are welcome, I'm out of my element on this one.

Found these for 12.99 each at Northern Tool. Not looking for quite as big as the 7", but after I put em on, I like 'em.
I need to get the final touches done on the relay/Switch setup, there is a storm coming through on Monday night and I wanna be ready for it!

Decided to try to my hand at a project I found on a Jeep Forum. The plans I found are for a no welding required DIY Roof Rack. But I think I will probably try Brazing it first, just for a cleaner look; And I don't want to grind the coating off of the conduit to weld it.

I made it of out 1" EMT conduit. Measured my factory rails and crossbars, and added 8" to the front of it. Plan to have some lights on the front of it, maybe a couple rear facing as well. I have the pictures of the bent main hoops for now, will post some more once I have time to start assembling.

Should cost about 60 bucks after I'm all said and done with it. Its going to look silly with a rack on the top and still rocking the factory pizza cutter size tires...

I suppose that would be more accurate considering the owner. 😄
