I sure agree with this. Even though mine has been a littler pricier than anticipated, it's still dirt cheap all things considered, and I enjoy driving it like a rental :-)

It is not easy. I would call it a 7 on a scale to 10, 10 being something for actual mechanics only. However, if you can do the timing belt, you can do the crank sensor. This Montero Sport video had been very helpful: https://youtu.be/vunvsjph9Yk (music is a little off-putting). The AC...

I hear you. I'm 6'7" and can't even fit a 4Runner with a sunroof. Man, this is like my dream rig. Hmmm.....

Yes, could you post a picture of Lexy pulling out of my driveway, with me behind the wheel?

Sunroof?

Nice! The rears are pretty easy to do when you get ready for them.

On the Gen 2.5's, the plastic bushing in the transfer case shift level would desintegrate after about 15 years, causing you to be unable to shift into low range. The replacement part is $40 new, or $5 at the local junk yard, out of a slightly older Gen 2 models. The little dashboard lamps...

Here's an issue: for a little while, the crank bolts used would fall out after a timing belt job. Mitsubishi fixed that with a replacement crankbolt that you now use when doing the timing belts tha prevents that from happening. It costs $7

Does it sound like a misfire? did you replace the spark plug wires? LOL (sorry, inside joke because that just happened to me)

LOL, you really think your wife thinks it for your son?

Where do you get a used OEM version?

LOL, I feel your pain. My limited mechanical skills were rapidly exceeded when contemplating the driver side exhaust manifold. Just simply getting access to the bolts was more than I could manage, so I paid a mechanic a crap ton of money to do it. I now own an impact wrench and a few sockets...

Good news, the wire for #1 spark plug was bad. New wires on the way. I have a loaner installed at the moment from 145,000 mile Monty that is being rebuilt. Engine definitely runs much smoother on all 6 cylinders :-) Now you can really hear the cracked exhaust manifold on the passenger side...

Wow, awesomse stuff. Thanks for posting Bushmaster!

LOL, I can relate

nice stuff Jim!

It was yet another $100 potentially thrown away if it didn't solve a problem. This cheap car is bleeding me dry. My Land Rover was far less expensive to own than this Monty.

Yeah, I agree, but would that cause the misfire?

Thanks Dave. Yes, borrowed OBDII reader gave us P0301 after about 20 miles of driving after the reassembly. Yes, I can access Cylinder 1 with everything in place. I'll try the #1 to #4 wire swap tommorow. It's possible I have a bent valve in that cylinder. A small piece of the old spark...
