Toyota's Land Rover. Tough as nails.




Myself, I owned an '83 Mitsubishi Montero, 2-door style, for years in Alaska.
I swear that car could climb cliffs. Deep snow, mud, rocks, whatever was there was driven through.

Loved that car; has it long time. Women liked it; it gave me stud status.

Iron block, aluminum head on a 2.6 liter 4 cyl motor. It blew head gaskets from dissimilar metals wharpage. The factory fix (finally) was to heliarc weld a bead of reinforcing aluminum crossway between the cylinder domes on the underside of the head.

Had to drive backward to unlock the front hubs. I pitied the fools in Ford Broncos out in the snow drifts doing the same thing by hand on the freezing hubs.

Later imported to the US as the Dodge Raider..
