Hi all,
I'm the new owner of 97 Montero LS. It has 93k miles and appears to have been sitting in a barn for a lonnng time. I bought it from some guys who got it at auction and the service records aren't that good. The plan is to check to see if the timing belt has been replaced, replace if necessary, and put in a new radiator as there are a few leaks I can see on the top. The front suspension seems to be sagging a bit and the ride is a little bouncy, so new shocks may be in order. After I get it running reliably, I plan on putting 33x10.50s on the stock rims and building a roof rack using an atv ramp as has been posted around here. Eventually swapping an SR rear axle would be awesome but I probably won't be doing to much crawling in it.
I'm stoked to have a solid 4x4 and a lot of projects lined up!
Congrats! Welcome to the Montero World. I loved my gen 2! Solid vehicle! Any questions don't hesitate to ask. If front end is a little low you may be able to crank the t-bars to raise it up.
