Crawler Off-road Body Lift

4 Crawler Off Road Body Lift Kit

I purchased a 3" body lift from 4 Crawler Off-road.  These kits are also known as "Roger Brown" kits.  I got the UHMW Poly Ethylene blocks and the heavy duty kit.

The nice thing with a body lift on the Montero is that not much needs to be changed to allow it.  Most of wire harness and tubes are mounted to the frame, with only a few things needing to be moved.

• You will need to relocate the radiator.  I simply used some self tapping bolts to lower where the radiator mounts.
• The front brake lines goes through the body.  This is the only space that it touches the body, so I just cut a couple channels in the sheet metal that allowed the tube to hang lower.
• The ground strap on the driver side was too short.

The main key is to just take your time and lift the body evenly.  I did that by taking supporting the rocker panels on one side with a jack, unbolting the mounting bolts, and lifting the body and adding the new hardware.  Then doing the other side.

Note: Make sure to get the two extra long bolts for the LWB Montero.  They go on the rear most body mounts.
