My '83 Mighty Max with 783,000+ miles on its original engine, thermostat included, would like a word. I'm pretty sure it will outlast me if I can stay ahead of the rust.
I have new front and rear ball joints and a full set of suspension bushings waiting for when I have time and slightly warming weather.
I always buy an Optima battery for all my cars cuz they last a lifetime.
I have one (Mitsubishi Pajero mk11983). It has a 2.3 turbo diesel.
I used to drive it pretty rough. It can take a beating. No major problems. Broke a leal spring, but I replaced it for cheap.
I had 2 of those. Swapped the top end, gas tank and some of the interior.
When we had to replace the timing chain we had to carve a sturdy hook into a stick to get the right leverage.
These things are so much fun off-road.
you can slap some new wheels on for a fresher look but obviously do this with number 2 in mind.
I remember the salesman telling us when we bought our outlander XLS back in 2011 was that the were a spartan car company giving you every on the inside. But the doors felt thin to me. We bought it though and I have to say out of all the cars we owned the 5 and 5 and 10 year warranty were amazing. Also that SUV never gave us any issues. We did usual oil changes and had to change the brakes obviously. But nothing other than 1 recall that they took care of. Car was very well built I’d say compared to my Volkswagens Volvos and BMW and minis I’ve owned.
The CVT in it isn’t the best transmission but I’ve always smiled while driving it around curvy road.
My then 97 Lancer GSR broke down in the middle of a highway on my way due to alternator and throttle body issues.
I purchased this “economy” rock auto timing belt (enginetech) however the belt was an evergreen belt in an enginetech box, because i didn’t have much money to spare at the time of replacement and this is what i get for cheaping out.
