Great write up, it was a nice refresher of the original that I followed on your build journey.

Does anyone know where I can get a fuse block for my gen 1. Had a wire go bad and melt a section of the block and harness. So I'm pulling things apart to fix, fun. Just kidding.

Thanks guys

Thoughts??

Need help establishing the value of my gen 1 2 door. I am debating on whether or not I need to sell it to fund another of my projects. Its a 1984 4cyl. with under 10K on a rebuild, 5 spd with new clutch, header, double bouncy seats, body lift, custom front and rear bumpers. I wired it to take...

nice, all we need now are pictures

The transmission was weak in those, 4L30 if I remember correctly. Not everyone took care of them and serviced them regularly. I would ask for service records. However they were also used in a lot of different vehicles. I had a 95, if the coil packs are at the front of the engine it's a single...

If I remember correctly there are only 4 bolts holding the seats to the frame. It was a easy swap. I should clarify though, all I did was unbolt the factory seats from the frame. I drilled new holes for the news seats and bolted them down.

I'll check them out. Thanks

Couple more pics, I upgraded the seats, had both the heater core and radiator cored to take care of any cooling issues. I installed a pressure regulator for the weber since the factory fuel pump was to much. There was no carpet when I got it, thought about finding some, then decided to skip...

So I have lurked here over the years, sounds creepy, I know, anyway finally got around to joining, so thanks for having me. Thought I share my with you my gen 1 swb. Its a 1984 Montero 5spd with LSD, shortly after I got it the oil pump seized as I was tinkering on the weber carb. I rebuilt...

Thank you! Yep I'm mechanically inclined. Currently have a 84 SWB Montero, I rebuild the 2.6 in it and did a bunch of other stuff. It's been fun but I really want a JDM one, so if I get serious I'll put this one up for sale to fund the next project. Anything else that I should know that I...

I'm thinking of getting a JDM montero diesel and it has to be at least 25 years old to import. What if any are the differences in the 4wd systems in them, what models have the rear locker and of course what other important things should I know. Oh and what does the difference between the exceed...
