I had an '89 V6 (4dr) with a big-ass sunroof.

It was fine around town, but had too much play in the steering for my liking, made me nervous in mid to high speed bends.

Went mild wheeling in it once and got it almost stuck with one wheel spinning in the air. I knew NOTHING about locking differentials, or lack of it then.

Sold it and got an RX-7 after that.:D

My V6 is doing the same thing. I found a place that sells those 50,000 Japanese ENGs for 900 and a shop to install it for 595.

I don't have a place to work on it so I think it is a good deal :cool:

The thing runs great just a bit of smoke :frown:

the problem with the old ENG was the valve guide seels. The ENG they installed had the same problem. They are going to fix it. It is at SKN the folks I got the ENG from. we shall see.
 
I just got one in September. 89 four door with the v6 5speed. Fairly strait. Working through the po's "custom wiring" cleaning up a bit. So far I'm impressed, seems to go anywhere I point it.
 
I just sold my Gen3 Montero Limited that was lifted with Ironman stuff and on 265/75's. It certainly had some good attributes that I will miss, but at the same it was no Land Cruiser. Some things I loved were the massive rear storage bin under the rear deck where the 3rd row seat would normally go, the spare is mounted in the proper location from the get go, the seats go back far enough for comfort, and it had a cool blinky light thingy showing which tires were spinning.
