Brien, It appears you have a 2wd so you'd be able to use the Hi-Torque IMI-104. Here's a link to a comparison to the Hitachi: http://www.goodvibesracing.com/starter_comparison.htm

I tired installing this in my Syncro but it runs into space problems, especially with the Diff Lock unit. I put the stock Bosch unit on with relay, but still get the starter running on when hot sometimes. At least up to this point the starter works every time where as previously, when the solenoid started failing and when the engine hot, no start.
