They say it's not exacly easy. The real motiviation I think is due to how readily available they are, how cheaps parts are, and how they can be found anywhere.

I think it was Landraider who recently posted about losing the waterpump whil on trail. Headed out in another's rig to the local store, got a new pump for something cheap, and had in installed on the trail in no time.

Try doing that with a Mistu 3.0...

Seach for the 4.3 and for users. try users Landraider, BobShaw, BigBlue, Don, and LeeRaider.
