    How are you protecting your gas tank?

    An inch or so I'd say.

    Gen 3 and Siberian bushings

    @MrGalantguy Yeah, my experiences have been pretty good with them. I especially like how they're not rock hard.

    How are you protecting your gas tank?

    I'd recommend something custom if you're wheeling hard, the aftermarket tank skids are okay and slightly better than stock but they also trap rocks and it's a real bummer when those rocks wear a hole in the tank. I'd raise the tank, do a 1-3/4" tube hoop around the front of the gas tank, this is...

    Gen 3 and Siberian bushings

    @spacecowboy7777 Follow up to this is that recently I've seen a few sets of Siberians sort of melt for some reason and the last set of rears I ran actually unvulcanized from their metal sleeves which made them sloppy. Previously I had run them in several vehicles without issue, my son's '98 has...

    1979 L200 (Plymouth Arrow Sport truck)

    I got some sort of appropriate tires for the original 14's, truck tires for 14's are not super common anymore but 30x10 UTV tires are!

    1979 L200 (Plymouth Arrow Sport truck)

    Yes, I haven't talked to anyone at Spicer about it but from what I've gathered this was the case configuration for most all of the mini truck conversions of the era.

    1979 L200 (Plymouth Arrow Sport truck)

    With the original engine being in need of a lot of machine work I ended up finding a better donor engine from a Montero and went through that instead. I stripped the donor engine down to a short block before reassembling it with new parts. Seemed freshly rebuilt, I went ahead and replaced...

    1979 L200 (Plymouth Arrow Sport truck)

    "ran when parked" When I got it home I put a wrench on the crank to find the engine locked solid, I pulled the engine to do a rebuild and the findings were not great. The engine was badly sludged, had coolant in two cylinders and the mains were scored. The coolant was being fed in via the...

    1979 L200 (Plymouth Arrow Sport truck)

    I was going to get to that, It's actually very interesting what they did. This sort of modification was very common in the 70's for import pick-ups. Most of the Nissan and Toyotas got a modified Jeep front axle and some even got really old closed knuckle axles. There were a lot of companies...

    1979 L200 (Plymouth Arrow Sport truck)

    A while back I went to Colorado and picked up this sweet first Gen Mitsubishi pickup, it predates MMC's official 4WD pickup but was in fact sold new option upgraded to 4WD by Four Wheel Drive Engineering in Utah. This rig has been sitting on my friend's property for 15-20 years and it was...

    Montero SR 4M40 swap questions

    The trans is the same except you'll find the gas valve body doesn't suit the diesel very well. It'll slip like crazy, you can adjust the line pressure and do some other modifications but ultimately you'll burn it up. Since you'd be trying to source a diesel bellhousing and flexplate to make it...

    I've actually wanted one as well but I'm not in the position to buy such a beast.

    Toasty's '98 Montero Build

    Wow, they make a really nice product. Harnesses from scratch is something I'd like to do someday maybe I'll start with an older MItsu for that though 😄

    Montero gen 2.5 Suspension Motion Ratios

    King makes a set for the Gen 2 but I'm also considering doing something custom to be a little better. KRS-20001-274 Mitsubishi Montero 91-00 Front 2.0 Shock Non-Adjustable Stock Front 2.5" Remote Reservoir KRS-20001-275 Mitsubishi Montero 91-00 Rear 2.0 Shock Non-Adjustable Stock Rear 2.5"...

    Montero gen 2.5 Suspension Motion Ratios

    Nice! I think on my '98 I'm going to do something similar. My son has standard remote res Fox 2.0's on his '99 and it rides pretty nice, I'm either going to get the Gen 2 Pajero shocks from King or do some custom work and fit up some coilovers to be one better than the kid.

    Montero gen 2.5 Suspension Motion Ratios

    I changed mine, you just give your measurements and angles to your tuner and they'll figure that out for you. total link length (axis of the pin at the frame of the trailing arm to the front bolt at the axle) pin axis to shock shock angle What shocks do you have that you're trying to...

    is 4x4wire gone?

    didn't even know there was a Mitsu section there. I'm actually surprised Mud is still around, last time I visited that forum it was overrun with pop up ads like the wire was in it's final days. I know, everyone says "just get a blocker" but the reality is that most people (myself included) will...
