I know some of you have done dual batt set ups, as evidenced by your build threads... Just wanted to house them in one place. Not so much interested in the wiring aspect, as I have that figured out (although it may be helpful to include for others), but the placement of that big lump? I am...

Yes. Rear airbags for levelling. I have measured the coil, but this doesn't help since I'm finding they are sold by vehicle application, not diameter. For my gen2, I used Airlifts, as seen here: http://www.airliftcompany.com/vehicles/mitsubishi/montero/ They worked great. I used my oba to...

I used airlift airbags in my gen2: brilliant for levelling with the trailer on, stabilizing a load, etc. Hoped they'd fit the gen3, but the coil diameter is smaller. :( A check of Airlifts site shows only up to gen2s. Anyone found a compatible in-coil bag, or another comparable brand that'll...

LOL. Jay buddy, we had T87's at the same time, once upon a time... Partrick and FullMonty, keep us updated on any developments - too bad the first one didn't pan out, but the second sounds promising? Back to my "Build". (Maybe build is a misnomer, since this thing won't be changed nearly as...

Just wanted to throw in a nod for Adam (sneaky ninja)... Stand up guy, and will deliver what's promised, in case you're on the fence about ordering or not... You can trust the ninja! ;) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

There should be some info on them from my gen2 build thread (also in my sig) and I'm hoping they'll migrate to the new rig... I've yet to measure the diameters of the coils to see if they'll fit. But I need to get on that. If they do, I'll see about a more detailed write up. I've been using them...

Jordan, in all my rigs, I've never ever changed the stock suspension, unless you count my brief foray with some procomp shocks on Betsy#1, that turned out badly... LOL. One of the things I've always loved about these rigs is their ability to go down a fireroad at significant speed with no...

JeepNmontero, your subtlety is as refined on here as it is on the 'wire. LOL. :friday: I've put about 200,000 kms on 33x1050s in the last 8 years. 100k or so on BFG AT's on my swb gen2 diesel (the smaller 2.5) and another 100k or so with BFG MT's on my LWB gen2 (larger 2.8) diesel. Neither of...

Jay, you're killing me. You know very well that I had a t87 Raider back in the day. It my absolute fave color! Also had t86, t88, and other assorted Mitsu blues. This is the first of my trucks not to sport any blue at all. Unless you've noticed my valve caps...? ;)

It's a Simoniz kit. Around $20 here, so I'm sure you'll find it cheaper south of the 49th. Bigger boots? These are bigger than stock (fractionally) and will do for this truck's purposes. Spare is OE size and does look a little small on the back there, I must say... This rig def needs some lift...

Headlight resto Oh, also restored the headlights, using a kit... increasingly finer sandpaper discs, followed by a buff/polish. You know the drill (pun intended)... Much clearer now, and the headlights are much brighter. Important on any adventure, right? Here is the truck after doing just one...

Just grabbed a pic of my gen3's new boots, to show all four. Still need to clean the white letters properly. :chef:

I shall bookmark that one. Thanks Pat! Tires/wheels are now swapped over: gave me just over 1/2 inch of lift over the stockers. LOL. Not noticeably louder, even at highway speeds. I shall get a better pic, but I will say I don't know why mitsu dropped these wheels in 2003 for the ones that...

Thanks for the info. I just DL'ed it. It's not going to turn my iphone into my Nikon DSLR, BUT...The best camera is the one you have with you, right? Cheers Phil Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 93 Mitsubishi Pajero turbo diesel with no lift, no lockers, but steering wheel moved to the curb...

Maintenance trumps low mileage, IMHO, although I'd like both... LOL. Does your endeavour have the 3.5 or 3.8? 2003+ Monteros all had the 3.8 which runs just fine on regular octane gas, a pretty important factor with today's pump prices. Timing belt and associated bits is the single biggest...

So, while I was in Moab my buddy brought me some early (2001-02) alloys that were FS in Oregon. I have them in right now getting some Toyo Open Country AT's installed - 265-75s, for a slight upgrade in size. I'll run these during the summer and switch back to the OE wheels shod in Michelin LTX2s...

Here's option one:

1. Get a cobra and mount it in the lower DIN slot, in dash. Speaker and mic plug are on the front. 2. Get the all in one version, with everything in the mic/ handset, and don't worry about mounting. 3. Glove compartment. That's where mine is sitting at the moment, ready to go. 4. If you have...

It was a cheapy Chinese unit that my buddy got in quantity... The type with pointy ends, either side. It's "okay" but not bright enough compared to what I was hoping for. I may try and source more, and then do all interiors.

A small update, but not much will happen with this build bread for the next while until I get back from GONE Moab in my gen2 and then put her up for sale... In any event, rear cargo area is now covered like the front: LED light conversions have started, with rear-most one first: And...
