Talked to a former employer yesterday. He owned the boat yard I worked at (Plasma, MIG,TIG, Rockport, 16" thruput 120"bed metal lathe) & sorely miss.I did a timing belt change 4 years ago on his SR & it was my first experience with a Mitsu. I cursed the engine like crazy.
He is leaving on his 60 Morgan outhouse in 6 months & offered me the SR for free when he leaves... WOO HOO !!!
The engine was a warranty replacement w/ 40K on the engine when I did the belt ( tensioner, idlers & water pump). Has 72K on the engine & 111K on vehicle.

...if I got a free car every time I did a timing belt for someone, I don't know what I'd do with myself! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Good score though!

Good score though! Ha Ha! And you used to think you were lucky to get some new MTB shoes, and some miscellaneous bike parts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> You took that Schwinn with you too, didn't you? Or some junk I had sitting around. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> That's AWESOME you're getting an SR...that has to be the best deal I've heard here since I signed up! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

LOL, I was thinking the same... Is it a 98 for sure- con blister fenders? Or an SR with fender flares? Regardless, a free Montero is a free Montero! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I remember it has the active trac & locker. Not sure of the flares. I know it's a 3.5 also.
I worked at his boat yard for 3 years & put in around 70 hours a week while the other employees did their 40 & went home. This i more of a reward for the hard work I did & the gobs of money I made for him.
