Just got this baby in today. Came in on a big trailer, dropped him off at the Walmart for me. Been waiting a long time for this guy...
A little back story first...the first car I ever owned was a 1991 Montero LS. It was my dad's hunting truck he passed on to me. I was a stupid high school kid...had no idea what I was in possession of...so 4 years, several run over mailboxes, missing passenger side mirror, dented front bumper (from running into the house...have mercy) and monster oil leak later, I pawned it off to a family member to help pay for my graduation present... a 3 year old Jetta (hands down the worst decision I've ever made...sell the Montero for $600 and purchase a dang VW...it had the infamous paper-thin wiring that within a couple years wouldn't allow any door, trunk, gas cap door, turn signals and sometimes wiper blades to operate properly if ever. And my cousin blew the Montero's engine and sold it for scrap metal...geez...).
Fast forward many years and I got the old Monty itch...spent the past couple of years looking for the right one and (fingers crossed) finally found it. 1989 Pajero 2.5TD. 130k miles, brand new tires, good paint. Nostalgia nation...
Lots of plans for this guy. I'm looking forward to many years with it, climbing trips, fishing trips, camping trips with the kiddos. Not too knowledgeable (yet) on car repair/maintenance, but looking forward to learning from and sharing with you guys. Looks like a great community here. To the Paj!
