Montero
While I agree that with much of what your saying, Ive found the the IFS to be pretty stout, especially on the 2nd Gen Models. The Steering box is a big Koyo with a four bolt mount to the frame where most use 3. The idler arm runs about $50 around here. It too will put up with a lot...
Put in a winch.
I used a piece of 3/8 plate between the frame rails to mount the winch. Added some gussets just for insurance..
Test fit, as you can see ($hittybuilt XRC8000) I'm keeping this build on a budget..used my military discount and pick this 8K winch up for 298 out the...
T cases

Thx
Thanks for the comments guys. Ive been driving these vehicles for a long time now, and your right they are becomming quite rare these days, which is kind of what I like about them. I'll post up some more pics soon. I need to update my 89 build thread.
I have a set of Crawler gears from...
We just picked up an 02 XLS. I'm really taking a liking to it as well. Its the wifes daily driver. I've considered selling my 95 and picking up another gen 3.
