NMNA but this is local to me and could be a very good deal.

The guy is in some Montero groups and i expect he'd take quite a bit less for it, frankly. A few reasons why I post it up as worthwhile:

1. These are going up in value quick, and are one of the few cool 80s SUVs still left out there that are very capable and still cheap.

2. This is the offroad package, which has a factory rear LSD, "trucker seat" bases, and headlight sprayers. 

3.. Most of the issues he posts are easily solved: The starting issue is usually a loose or missing engine to chassis ground and/or a wonky ignition switch on these. The brake warning light is usually the float in the M/C sticking (happens on mine all the time). CEL is probably for the TPS, which trip the light when even slightly out of spec, which has no effect on drivability. Cat: i have a spare OEM cat that will fit if someone buys this. Rust on the front fenders: I have two rust-free front fenders if someone buys this. Rear wiper issue is probably the switch. They get gunky and lose contact inside. Easy fix. The frame rust actually doesn't look bad. These have super-thick boxed frames and mine looked worse than that when I got it, but cleaned up great. 

Anyhow, if anyone grabs this, touch base with me, I have some parts you can have for cheap and I can help troubleshoot the other issues since I literally just totally rebuilt one of these!.

I want to take both of these and smash them together.

Man, i am 1000000% not digging the missing bolts on that tow hitch cool

But i am still trying to decide how to feel about the 'front bumper as a rear bumper' on that silver one. surprise

I would like a suspension seat frame for my Montero..

well geez, I just sold a suspension seat frame a few weeks ago. Sorry I didn't know you wanted one!

Good eyes on the hitch. I didn't even notice that.

It's all good! If it never happens it won't bother me, but i had one in my 94 Montero and didn't care because i never bashed it through anything, but i bounce this 87 around a fair bit and feel like i would actually appreciate the benefit now.

There is one for sale on the Mitsubishi Montero USA Classifieds page on FB, if you're on there. I htink he's asking like $150.
