I had to get new shocks when I first got it.
The water pump was replaced at 175,000 miles.
My incline-o-meter leaked down into my dash and I had to replace the defrost cable.
The fan belt was replaced at 150,000 miles.
I hit a deer going 80 MPH in my Raider and it only made a dent in my front bumper. I have been rear ended and have hit a couple other things, and not a scratch. Tough enough for any situation.
The Raider is an awesome rally truck, the 4 wheel drive works excellently.
This rig has lots of power and I have no problems accelerating or going up hills. The only problem is you have to slow down for those corners - a bit tipsy, a very minor inconvenience.
Definitely not made to haul a bunch of people - 4 people barely fit in there and they usually have a heck of a time trying to get into the back seat.
I love my Raider! My next car is either going to be another Raider or the 4 door Montero.
I have also had the same problem with the inclinometer, where it leaked onto the dash. If anyone else has been able to fix it please send me info. jalittle@comcast.net.
