    My 1999 Montero mostly-adventure-but-build-when-necessary Thread

    as for trans cooler, cheap is not the way to go unless cheap is only the price on a good quality stack plate cooler mounted in the wind, away from the a/condenser. if thats what u mean by cheap then u won the prize. use good trans cooler line, and check clamps during service intervals.

    Stuck crankshaft pulley bolt
