Reader’s Rides & Off Road Vehicles

LWB Montero.  Bought it for $750 with a cracked head.  Bought two new heads from a place in FL of eBay for $225 each and it runs like a champ!  Trans is going now... What to *** new trans or drive train swap? Would like to go diesel. It has 246k miles on it. I have had a bunch of trucks/SUV's and this one is the stoutest.  Been wheeling a couple of times. Just picked up some 63" Chevy springs for the rear, I am throwing the coils out!  I would like to SAS the front like most, but am entertaining the idea of putting the GenII A-arms up front and cranking the torsion bars, they are cranked now, but not enough for the rear springs... mods so far are duct tape fix on front seat, 3rd row seat, 33" BFG AT's on Black Steel, High Lift Jack on front bumper and a healthy fearlessness to point it where I think it should go!  My wife likes to drive it too!
