I have started the hunt for a 2nd gen Montero and had a couple questions.
I found an SR but it looks to be in a little bit worse shape then the other non SRs that I have found. Is the SR worth the additional maintenance and work ? The SR has 168k miles, if it has been maintained properly is this a concern? At what point am I looking at an engine and trans rebuild? Doing the rebuilds or swaps wouldn't bother me I just want to make sure I don't get stuck with a big bill in the near future. Also is there an easy way to test that the rear locker is working?
