Sharp looking ride! Welcome. My first Montero was an '88 two door. I searched what seemed like forever to find one and stumbled on one at a local "cash for clunkers" deal. Bought it wholesale on the cheap ($900) because it ran like crap, but like yourself, have many hours working on 80's vehicles. I opted to drive it the short distance home and dropped in $10 in gas and within a few miles, had run through all the crap in the carb and lines. She purred. A quick tune up and a little TLC provided me with a fantastic truck that took me all over the place. I always enjoyed the looks on the faces of others on the trail when the Montero rolled by and past their built Jeeps and Toyotas on the same trail they are on. I still enjoy those looks now, but from the front seat of my '97 LS. A wonderful follow-up to an already wonderful example of classic over-engineered, Japanese quality. I've been quietly eyeballing and shopping for a Gen 3 to use as my daily while I finally get a chance turn the '97 into the truck I really want. And, if Mitsubishi brings the Montero back to the U.S. In 2017, I will probably look at buying one of those, unless they release anything like the concept. Ugh. Anyways, welcome to the Wire!
