• Creaking Sounds After Installing a Trailer Hitch on a 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

• Timbren Suspension Enhancement for 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
• The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement system you mentioned, part # TMRMONSP, would replace your existing factory installed factory bump stops, and would work along with, but not replace your factory coil springs. This system is indeed compatible with your Montero Sport, even though it has the coil springs instead of leaf springs. The springs themselves offer a 3,000 lb capacity, but they WILL NOT increase the load capacity of your Montero Sport. You will still be limited to the original...

• Fit of K-Source Universal Towing Mirror # KS3891 on 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
• I looked up an online photo of the 2001 Montero Sport, and examined the mirrors.

Although the mirror is about as attractive as a third eye in the middle of your forehead, the mirror is vibration free, works extremely well and is very highly rated by our customers. It's also a universal fit, as long as the lower...

• How To Wire a Trailer Harness on a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
• Installation for a 2000 and a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero should be about the same. Part # HM48925 will work, but part # 119178 is circuit protected and will protect your vehicle electrical system. You could also use part # 119178KIT which will have all the connectors needed to splice into wires and a circuit tester to make sure you have the right wires. If your vehicle has aftermarket LED tail lights, you must use part # HM48925. Use the video for the 2003 Montero as a guide. The installation...

• Is The Hopkins Tail Light Converter HM48925 Correct For A 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport?
• I would be happy to help! The Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit # HM48925 you were looking at is the correct wiring harness for your 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport.

It is different than what is needed for the non-sport models as those models have a harness available that will plug in inline of the factory tail light connectors, and would not require any splicing.
