Forgive me again, I just posted this to the 'general' Mitsu forum when I noticed the FG is considered a 'heavy truck'...
Hi to all. Bit of a newbie dream here... I want a crew cab 4x4 auto Mitusbishi FG like you can get in Aussieland. Since the head honchos at Mitsu can't seem to justify certifying a crew cab FG 4x4 for N. America, has anyone thought of doing it themselves?
For example, get an early 2000's FE crew 2wd with the 165" wheel base auto for semi cheap as it has high miles to start. Then get the same year 4x4 reg cab FG auto (maybe even a wrecked one with a low miles power train) that should have all the bits you need, front axle, tranny with transfer case??
Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but I did a search of this forum that didn't seem to reveal much... I am up in Victoria, BC. I'd be curious to hear this community's thoughts. Am I crazy, obvious reasons you can't do it? Any of the guys who have done lots of work on these have an opinion? Any names of individuals or outfits that have a pile of wrecks in the back to ask questions??
I have a 5 year old, and maybe another and I need that crew 4x4!
Thanks for your time.
Kevin
