So what you're showing us is that for a fraction of the price you went everywhere the FJ's went lol. JK watched all the vids and loved every min, but why is the gen 2.5 hood raised at the back? hiding something cool under there?
White Montero and yellow FJ are both mine
but yes, despite my beginner's mistakes and totally neglecting montero it's still runs, drives, climbs rocks and hills - still very reliable and extremely capable, my friend takes it out now. I got spoiled driving something without rusted holes, cracked headers and most of all missing AC
Hood is raised because i used to have really clogged up radiator with "holes" which i didn't know at time and cracked headers were running my engine hotter than i liked. After replacing radiator just to be on a safe side i raised hood to remove excess heat. Not seen temp rising ever since
