Hi to all,
Just recently purchased a 1995 Mitsubishi Montero LS couple of weeks ago. Paid only $1500 for it, 136k miles, engine runs strong with working A/C. The body is in a good shape no body rust, some surface rusts from the front and rear bumpers. Under body as well is in good shape no rotten frame just minor surface rust since Illinois has salt during winter. The Montero has some flaws like passenger window behind the driver door doesn't go down, minor leak from the oil cooler line behind the grille, climate control doesn't lit(any solution?) as well as the right front wheel indicator light from the instrument panel & compass light(fixed changed bulbs), Tachometer doesn't work too(might be no good, anyone know how to resolved this?), power locks doesn't work and driver door can't open from outside, but will open once you opened it from inside(solution?). The 4x4 works great. I'm very excited having this truck, I've always wanted to have a truck like this(but really want the 97-00 body) since I was a kid and this has been my dream truck for decades and now dream has been accomplished. I am very happy with it and I'll make my adventure dream come true with help from you guys. I am very happy to share it with you all. Hoping to learn more during my stay on here.
Future Plans:
*Maintenance, Change belts and fluids(in process) anything else I should be checking?
*Lift, Big wheel and tire setup(thinking about 15x8 0et 35x12.50) but for the meantime I'll use 15x8 0et 32x11.50 without a lift(will fit right?)
I saw body lift kits from seller "xpajun" on ebay, are they any good? Have you guys tried that kit? I'm planning to get that when I'm ready to lift the truck.
