Found a Montero couldn't pass it up.

Well it looks like the alternator is going so the mods I want to do will have to be put on the back burner. Looks like it has a oil leak. Just had the timing belt done so hopefully that is fixed. I'll know once I clean everything and swap the alternator

Alternator should be an easy job. As for oil leaks, there are several common spots, rear cam seal, valve cover gaskets, a bit of googling and visual inspection of where it is leaking and you'll be a able to quickly figure out what seal you need to replace.

Thanks. I talked to the old owner. It did have a leak. It was recently fixed, but I guedd the alternator got covered in to much oil before the fix. This just gives me a reason to start replacing belts and hoses in the engine bay

If you pull the air box, the alternator comes up through that gap quite easily. I just replaced mine in my 98 last week.

Where are you located. If I don't sell them they will probably head to the trash so you can have whatever part you want off them.
I'm located in Seattle. Have you tossed the running boards yet? Sorry I couldn't reply back sooner. Was waiting for a new phone to replace my cracked screen.
