I agree with that, these are awesome. All of the old Mistu based trucks and SUV's. From what I can tell, I need a lot, the interior is in good shape, seats are gone, but that's nothing. I really like the Montero V6 swap with the dash, but that's more than I want to do.

I tried all the tricks about getting it out of the 4 low situation, but I'm cracking open everything and replacing seals, bearings, everything that needs it! I have read a lot of bashing on the 145 trans on many sites, but one thing I can tell, is I love the wait it shifts and is very responsive. I'll post as I go along.

Awaiting money to get rebuild kits for the transfer case and trans. If any one has one for sale, or knows a good place to get parts, please let me know. I have not been lucky out here with salvage yards. That surprised me since we have a ton of them. This site is AWESOME!!! Thanks!
