Finally, the most exciting day is here - got new Motegi MR150 Trailite's 16x8 0 offset wheels for the Montero/Pajero/Shogun wrapped with 265/75R16 Falken Wildpeaks AT3W. Got them ceramic coated & then took it light offroad with a friend of mine & his son.

Below are some of the tools/doodads you see in the videos that I personally use & have used “Russian Science” to test & verify their worthiness. If you buy stuff - I get a small contribution to the “Lada Fund Project” aka my dream of importing Soviet cars to the US in the name of science (official verbiage below just in case so I get the rubles):

Raptor Liner Kit: amzn.to/3BFwhDI
Motegi MR150 Trailite 16x8 6x139.7 0 offset: amzn.to/2UBjPUJ
Falken Wildpeaks AT3W 265/75R16: amzn.to/2UwKodQ
PlastiDip 4 pack (used for my mirrors, emblems & taillights): amzn.to/3eKvd7o


Rest of my woodworking stuff:
Cheap basic projector: amzn.to/3eJINYV
A bit fancier ViewSonic (I’ve used an older model for 8+ years now): amzn.to/36SrVL9
Mega Pack of Various JIgsaw Blades: amzn.to/3kOfk3M
Basic Jigsaw that I use: amzn.to/2UDqBZZ
“Sergei The Sander”: amzn.to/3ru9sy3
180 grit sandpaper 5 inch discs (that’s pretty much all I use): amzn.to/3y02WRZ
Really simple basic dremel/rotary tool (to make painting lines): amzn.to/36Re1sG

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
  • @EJDVisuals
    looks badass! I'm in the process of building my 01 monty as well. Thinking about doing the raptor liner for the bumper and rockers like you did.
  • @sleeks9939
    I have those Motegi Mr150 on my 4runner 285/70/17 love it and they are Super lite.
  • @j.r.8477
    "freedom units" haha, haven't heard that before. Thought I was on the Cleetus Mcfarland channel for a second. The Montero is looking great! 👍

    Hey there i bought a paj.3 6 months ago and building it for raids and bivouac…planning to install a +5 cm lift and 285/70/17 … but i am still studying Anyway thanks for your vidéo bro , cheers from switzerland 🍻
  • @theemrtaco
    So I know you said you're getting spacers, does that mean in this video you're on 100% stock suspension and ride height? I'm thinking of possibly getting a montero, so looking at what I could do with it while stock
  • @maconbake
    I'm planning on going with this exact same wheel + tire size for my Gen3 montero. How does the handling compare, notice any issues with the positive Scrub Radius??
  • I'm thinking of buying the 2001 version and doing some modifications to it, exactly as u made
  • @jaydostal5161
    Are the rubber shock lift spacers from Russia safe in your opinion? Up to what height you think they could be safe? I am think of getting them for my 02 Montero. Thanks
  • @gmummy
    What brand shocks, have a clean sport needed some shocks and beadlock wheels
  • @kooob81
    how's the handling with those new wheels compared to stock? is it lighter?
  • @Allantopspeed
    he just got the montero a half a year ago but it was 2 years ago since he got it in december 2020
  • @MSArchery
