Yep, thats me [Wave] I have a feeling more Monteros will jump ship in the next few years. Nissan is selling the kind of products old Montero owners dig, especially if reliability and strength come up closer to Mitsubishi levels. Kind of sad to see the end of an era. I drove Monteros since I was 18, started a club, tried to get Mitsubishi involved, had LOTS of good times...yadda, yadda...Its always hard to move on. But I met some good people at Gone, and began a fresh start. The 90 is being maintaned as best as possible(for 250,000 hard miles), and will still run more difficult trips like the annual Sierra Challenge for a few years, as I slowly funnel off mod money from the Montero to the X, and as 05 parts come out.
