"Repeat customer"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Burns a quart of oil every 300 miles - oooooh!

General comments?

It spends more time on the trail in 4L than most SUV's. Goes anywhere I point it.

Very spartan interior although that is what I was looking for (less features, less parts to break).

Rear disc brakes on an SUV?? WOW! At $2900 it was an incredible deal.

NOTE: with the 2.6 4 cylinder you must remember to have the valve clearance adjusted at recommended intervals!!!! Why is the distributor so close to the firewall?

If I were to venture a guess as to why the distributor is so close to the firewall, I would have to say for off-roading. If you are fording through deep water, you want to keep your ignition system as dry as possible. A manufacturer would tuck it at the top against the firewall to accomplish this. But maybe an engineer would prove me wrong.
