I'm sorry you lost your montero. Was gonna offer a buy on your seats. Almost hit send... and then... glad you got a little money back... Still parting it out?... link to where you're doing this? BTW love outdoorsy
Man, that sux. Monteros are such endangered species now that each one lost is a big bummer and especially one this nice. I’m shocked about the airbags not going off too but I think you’re right, must have been at the perfect angle to avoid the sensors - I think the main crash sensors are near the frame horns and if that barrier came in between them that likely is why it wasn’t triggered but even still, I would have thought that there are deceleration sensors that would have triggered them. That said, this is another example of Gen3s doing really well in accidents. And I’ve seen the opposite where vehicles’ airbags are way too touchy and like a 10mph fender bender deploys them and that can total a car out by itself sometimes.
Ah dude, that sucks so bad, really feel for you! Glad for the happy ending though and good luck to your wife with her studies. Big love from Brighton, UK
Uh, you probably just roasted your transmission. Don’t matter weather the transmission was in “drive” or “neutral”. There’s no fluid being pumped in the transmission, but that rear planetary gear set is still turning along with a clutch pack.. You needed to disconnect the drive shaft or at least put the transfer case in neutral….
The only thing i can picture doing that kind of damage is hitting the end of a guardrail. Maybe they never hit the brakes and thats why the airbags didnt go off? I know my Sport looked way worse after broadsiding a pickup turning left, but i locked up the brakes and got the airbags to deploy
Damn man..that sucks. Like you said ..at least the people are safe. I kinda know what you're feeling ....my old Montero Sport ended up in the salvage yard. A buddy of mine saw it a few weeks ago. It's actually going to be one of my next videos.
It hurts my heart to see this Montero in such a state, I have Monteros myself and to see one end up like this is sad. But as you said, the most important thing is that everyone is fine and that you have found a solution for your business. Big support from a French Montero lover!!!
Damn that sux, sorry to hear about it. Regarding the airbags, my first thought was perhaps they weren't wearing seat belts? Though I'm not familiar with the specifics of how montero airbags operate. Glad ya got a plan for the rest of the season, and a positive outcome from insurance.
I know how you feel. We had an accident where we felt asleep and roll our 2006 Montero on the way to Utah. Montero are built tough. The roof never cave in. Lucky we found a very clean 20 Anniversary Edition Montero to replace it. BTw do u still have it.
Sorry to hear about your Gen3 being totalled, I got my 04 Gen3 owned 12 years in the shop here in Birmingham, UK having work done to get it back on the road having failed MOT/Annual inspection. Approaching 200k miles, can't wait to get it back. I feel your pain brother, keep the faith!
That’s a lotta damage!
No, seriously. How the fuck did they manage that?
So sorry :(
Sorry for your loss …… but could I buy the trailer hitch 😅….
Sucks, one less gen 3. Good ones are getting harder to find.
Is the air box still available top and bottom piece and the bellow intake tube that goes from air box to throttle body.
5:30 DVDF headrests were there from the factory? Never seen that on a montero in europe.

Was the transfer case still ok? Those are $250 used. ECU, immobilizer, and key cylinder is $500, and gas tank if not damaged 4-500.

oh damm gutted man. hopefully you can find another nicer one. Proves they are good solid car though!
I know 2002 nm Pajeros in Australia have an air bag recall. (If im not mistaken)
Might follow onto np model like yours?

Just got a gen3 Montero. New to the channel. Love it. Sad to see this but glad you turned it around :)
Based on the damage, it's a blessing no one got hurt. Good move on the Subaru.
I need to start renting Monteros, good idea and they probably don't end up mostly wrecked.
I am sorry. I have a blue 2003 Montero Limited…I would be so crushed if something like that happened.
I would be pissed
Sad. On the bright side, one of the cool things about that gen of Monteros is that they're still cheap on the used market (if a bit hard to find).
You hate to see it. I feel for you bro, that suuuucks!
RIP from ohio! I'm thoroughly surprised the bags didn't go off
I need a lid for the cargo pocket & the color RV meter if still have those
Sell this subaru and buy an another Montero, please!
any chance you would sell me the front shocks
Oh no! What a nightmare, I'm so sorry bro. Thats some carnage, glad they're ok!

That is a crazy hit on that Montero
RIP

WTF!?!? That sux, I feel your pain. Literally.
I totaled my Kia on the interstate a couple weeks ago.
Damn that sux, sorry to hear about it.

Is your buddy still looking for a Montero? I have one that needs someone to take it adventuring again.
Strip the interior! And find another Montero and restore it...and don't rent it out!!
That’s sad glad you got all worked out
Great video.
10:10 is supect it switched itself from nutral to drive. I doubt you could push a vehicle by hand when it is in drive?
I appreciate all the Outdoorsy info...i hope they do as well.
My instant reaction...."SOMEONE cut MY toenails too short"....uhm, yeah...lol "someone"....😂
