Talk about a 180 transformation of the truck. I like it and that box actually looks great I was a little hesitant about it at first but it come out great! NICE

Soooo i decided i was going to pull my engine myself and HONESTLY it wasnt that bad. I only got 1 knuckle cut!! I bought a hoist and leveler from autozone for 270 + tax since i have to pull the motor in my montero sport also.. I rented the fan clutch tool from there also everything else i had.. I pulled the oil pan and a connecting rod is shattered... It doesnt look like there is any damage to the cylinder but I will investigate more tommorow because its dark

Too much to fix engine so i went as planned and got a used one for $1000 with 135k on it.. I changed the valve cover gaskets, intake and exhaust gaskets, rear main seal, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs and the rear hoses.. I actually put the engine in myself and saved $800 bucks yay!!!!
