Update! It has been a LONG time since I've updated this thread... I finally found a roof rack... Surco Safari rack. Its light duty, yes. But its LIGHT. I hate increasing the cog, so a nice light rack like the Surco is exactly what I wanted... found it used, with the tire carrier included. I may...

Another vote for skinnies. I ran 33x1050 BFG ats on my last genII (JDM 2 door) on factory 7's, and now I'm running 33x1050 BFG KM2's on factory 7s on my jdm 4 door diesel. My truck came with 490s in the diffs though, and I think that's what I'd be putting in there if they weren't there already...

I ran 31x1050s on stock steelies for three years... no ideal, and you will see some cupping in the tread after a while, but they do fit. After that I put 33x950s on the 6's, and again, they fit. Much better wear pattern though. My last gen I had 8" wheels with 33x1250s. With some minor...

\ My school runs until the end of June, but I was there last year, and will be again! There are ways of rearranging schedules... :) Calling in favors... The Canadian contingent will be back!!!

WOW! That is one of the nicest one-off bumpers I've seen! Attention to detail too, like the way the fender flare extends into the side of the bumper. Great results! I like the angles too.

If he got the complete engine, the alternator in the 4d56 has a vacuum pump on the back of it. (I found this out the hard way a few years ago, when the seals let go, and I had an oil soaked alternator. In January. Pre-garage. Doh.) 4M40 (2.8) has a vac pump on the side of the block, in case you...

Not too bad to find parts for, since there are so many JDM part suppliers now. Esp in BC. And of course the rest of the truck shares with the USDM Montero. As far as starting, I had an oil pan hear only, and last winter at weeks of -30*C, it fired up first time, very little smoke. My truck has...

Yup, that should be the one. The kit you can buy has the two mating pieces, and bare ends to attach to your deck... as per your picture. IIRC spkrs are on one side, power/grnd/memory etc on the other? Just ensure you get the right SET - As I mentioned, mitsu made a change part way through the...

I can help you with some of this... My Pajero was a JDM vehicle, so I can't help you with the diversity antenna, but the main power antenna is controlled with an aftermarket stereo via a blue wire, which should be part of the existing harness. Speaking of the oe harness, do yourself a favor and...

All good reasons above... If you are going to wheel a Montero/Pajero, you will inevitably lift wheels. Both shorty and limo versions have their strengths, but the lwb is much more predictable when going across diagonal ruts - the moment when you switch from left front in the air to right rear...

Sold! Thanks for looking.

Welded them right to the frame. Thought about bolting them on, but in the end we ended up just sticking them directly. Some guys have also notched the body where the seam sticks down, to get them a little higher, but I elected to just put them close. I also mounted them on a slight angle, so...

Nice looking genII.5! I have the trail gear sliders as well, and just got back from Moab, where they took many many hits, and show no damage except paint... Not sure if you sorted manual hubs or not, but Aisins came on the old Dodge/Mitsu mini pickups (D50/mighty max). These are compatible with...

That's my dog - we had an awesome trip out with you guys. I was happy to accompany my Canadian Nissan buddies down to GONE. They've gone a few times, but I finally was able to tag along. The big Taco in the pics was with us as well. We had six rigs come down from Calgary: my Mitsu, two sas'ed...

We're trying to make up for their error, by grey-marketing them into Canada (until the gov't eventually gets their protectionist back up, and bans our loophole). I like this L200/Sport!! Hood scoop hints at an intercooler underneath it - wonder which diesel it got? That 3.2 DiD is a sexy...

I assume you're okay with right hand drive? Speaking for the Mitsu option... The Pajero will be RHD. Not a big deal, but something to be aware of. Depending on which diesel you got, parts availability wouldn't be an issue with the Mits: body/susp is found on the US Montero, smaller version of...

Rear ring gear is ~9.5"... the compressor is a low pressure unit (I think it's 5psi?) and is in the rhs jack compartment, behind the middle bench seat.

Bump for a nice rig. This rig has the larger running gear, including larger rear diff, larger trans, etc. Oh, btw, rear diff is a factory air locker, not electric...

Just brought one home - the kamprite version. Got it at Basspros here in Alberta for $219. That includes the fly. Set it up in the living room, got in, and one of the dogs was instantly in there with me. :) It is larger packed up than I pictured it being, though I knew the measurements...

It won't change the suspension too much, as long as you allow that extra room, so you're not sitting on the bumpstops. Also, don't crank too much, or even chopping down the bumpstops won't be enough. I think you're going to need a very heavy duty shock to control wheel hop on a wheel/tire combo...
