Anyone have any experience with Mitsubishi Monteros? I found a 2002 locally. Probably a street truck its entire life and appears to be in good shape. Any stock weak points that make it a no-go? I'm not sure if this truck has the rear locker but does have BFG KOs.
Overall I'm looking for a stock 4x4. Cheap but shouldn't be too much of a pain. I'll be keeping it stock, using it for driving around on the tree farm, camping, and trail scouting (tons of trails about an 1-1.5 hours from my office, would be nice to ride up there after work and take a look). Also maybe look at doing an OBX trip or similar to FL early next year. Oh and I'm going to park it on the street here in town. I'll keep it nice for when I take clients out but at the same time if it gets bashed, or magically disappears, I won't care.
If I keep the price low, I can offload it super quick if needed. Also considering an old chebby blazer (the S-10, not K-5). Once again. Should just work. If I smash it, who cares. And I can probably sell it quick.
I know Jimbo is an advocate of the Explorer...but I'm having trouble finding one that I like around here.
