Its funny how one of the guys get one and we all follow! You know I dig it, and I'm jealous about the 5 speed! |

I sometimes miss my old one. 2.6 with all the revised goodies besides efi. Still have a pair of superwinch hubs and the front wind deflector hoarded just in case I get another. I fit 33s on FJ 17" steelies without any lift. Of course the lack of articulation helped. A side benefit of your V6 one is the coil rear suspension, not only does it ride smoother and travel more, it's a direct bolt in to upgrade to the stronger gen2 arms, gen 2 axle (beefier all around, and a locker in the SR), and better brakes. Good score. |

Oh and gen 2 coils will lift it, and gen 2 upper front arms will help with camber if you crank the torsions. Man I miss mine... |

Darkhorse, I actually have access to a few 94-95 Montero SR's at one of the local yards. Anything special on those that is a good upgrade? I would like to upgrade the rear end eventually just to get rear discs. Does it matter if the rear comes from an auto Montero since mine is manual? Nate, we've wanted one for a while now but they are so rare. Well, we did have that white 87 a few months back but it was just too much of a project. Glad this one fell into our laps. |

Nice score! I'm not a big SUV/truck guy at all, but these things are damn cool |

That thing looks awesome!!! I have been eyeballing about for a small (smaller than this one) and rugged 4wd to hit the mountains with myself. You definitely found a keeper there if you considered family space. |

You'll have to talk Nate into that. He can pull the engine from his truck . |

Yeah I have to get to finishing that truck swap. No one realizes how much is different between the car and truck engine (dohc and sohc)! |

Yank the truck engine and install 4G63. Done! |

Yeah, but more worth the effort than using a 6G72

Think that I'd want some low-end torque with that vehicle, count the 4g63 out. Even so, that looked like a complicated build on its own. |

2.4L stroker with an auto and a small turbo would definitely make more torque than the V6, but I see what you're saying. I'd just leave it alone and enjoy it.
