Glenn,

My Daughter fell in love with the Dodge Raider/Montero last year and we located and purchased a 1988 Raider for $1000. I thought for another couple a thousand I could restore and paint the truck and she could have her dream vehicle. Now, I am not very mechanical so I would have to pay for most of the upgrades. 8 months, rebuilt engine, transmission, A/C and $8500 later I am still having problems keeping her on the road. A faulty steering box the latest problem. Beware that it may become a black hole for you and a nightmare to find parts. On the other hand, my Daughter is still in love with this beast!
