Hello all. New owner my very first montero. 1989 LWB LS. Currently lifted 1.5" in the front and 1" in the back. 31x10.5's and rear SR coils. I'm stepping into it with 178,000 miles on original motor and trans. Its well maintained and drives well.
Immediate issues:
1: Sometimes it starts right up and other times it acts like the battery is dead and takes a few tries even though the starter and battery are newish (usually after being driven around for a while, parked and then restarted). Any thoughts on that?
2: oil is leaking from somewhere, working on that one.
Also, where can I find tech articles or walkthroughs? I have the hydraulic seat rails that I'd like to put in but I dont know anything about these cars.
Thanks for having me all.
