Shes got 195k miles, runs and drives great, I just have too many cars. I&#8217;m looking for $3,500.00.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve put a lot of work and parts into the thing. I don&#8217;t want to sell it, but it doesn&#8217;t cover what I&#8217;m wanting at the moment. The CR-Z gets around in the snow pretty well, and I just bought a 05 Ford E350 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel van for towing duty and threw some General Grabber AT\u00b2 tires on it, so it scoots around in the snow and ice decently. It doesn&#8217;t compare to the Montero for winter driveability, but what does.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve done to it.<br \/>\nRebuilt cylinder heads, fresh valve job<br \/>\nTiming belt w\/tensioner and pulleys, water pump, head gaskets, head bolts, revised crank bolt<br \/>\nreplaced coolant hoses, connected rear heater, new OEM thermostat<br \/>\nElectric 2 speed fan from a Taurus with 180\u00b0 and 220\u00b0 switches<br \/>\nDrilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads, new\u00a0General Grabber AT\u00b2 Tires on stock rims<br \/>\nreplaced driver side axle spindle, replaced fuel tank,\u00a0new front shocks<br \/>\nwinch plate, 9k lbs winch, light\u00a0bar wired to fog\u00a0light switch, New Marine Interstate Battery, installed hold down bracket<br \/>\nbluetooth stereo, 1500w amp, 1.7f Cap, 2x 15&#8243; Rockford Fosgate DVC subs, remote start, roof rack<br \/>\n7 pin trailer connector, Trailer brake<br \/>\neliminated cats, installed rear oxygen sensor simulator, 2.5&#8243; exhaust to Hooker Aerochamber muffler, 3&#8243; exhaust over the axle to chrome tip<br \/>\nreplaced a hand full of worn or missing interior pieces<br \/>\nChanged the oil every 3k miles with Rotella 10w30. I bought it with 188k on it.<br \/>\nIt was supposed to be a winter beater, but I wound up enjoying it for a summer and\u00a0decided to start upgrading\/repairing\u00a0stuff.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1503.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-827\" src=\"http:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1503-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1503-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1503-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1503-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1505.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-829\" src=\"http:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1505-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1505-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1505-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1504.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-828\" src=\"http:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1504-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1504-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1504-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1506.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-830\" src=\"http:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1506-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1506-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1506-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ilostmymind.com\/wordp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMAG1506-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time to sell the Montero.
