I've heard good things about them but the thing is there are a lot of different sellers and brands so it can vary I'm sure. Another thing I've heard is that they yellow faster than the original oem units so spraying on a layer of uv protectant clear coat might be a good preventative measure...

I guess we're lucky here, I heard that in Australia Mitsu is not fixing them and that the cars have to be destroyed but I don't know all the details.

2/26/20: I live in deer and elk country so I installed this animal warning siren type thingy on the front of Yoshi today. It allegedly emits an ultrasonic noise as air pushes through the hole in the center to scare away animals from the roadside. Who knows if it actually works? The theory makes...

2/21/20: Every time I saw the ARB logo on Yoshi it would bring back horrible memories of the bumper mount installation and their insanely frustrating instruction manual. I had to do something. Much better...even if I was never even that into Mario Bros. video games as a kid.

"SUDAN BEIGE" - Looks super clean, GLWS. For those looking at this, here is what it could look like all kitted out:

The phone will definitely be shaking up and down a few millimeters but I haven't taken it offroad yet so I don't know if it will actually fall off. I'll post back when I test it.

oh wow, I didn’t know there were more vents. Are they under the 2nd row or 1st row, or both, door jamb bottom trim plates?

2/22/20: Time to check another mod off the list. Dust Mitigation - Have you noticed how much dustier the cabin of a Gen3 gets than other vehicles? It's really something that has jumped out at me and so today I knocked out mod 2 of 2 to try and solve this issue. To review, the first thing I did...

Wow, those cleaned up great!

Going to order a new surge tank when the time comes. Going to fix the front spring situation and finish some other mods first and try and hold off on the surge tank for another year or so until I get to 180k when I plan on doing some other engine work anyways.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. On the flats I just kept it at 65mph, even though I could have gone faster, in 4th gear at around 3,000RPM. I don't plan on ever using 5th gear when towing something this large unless it's a really long downhill.

2/12/20 CONT'D: With the trailer brake controller and 7-pin input installed, I bugged my friend to let me borrow his camper and join me for this epic, do or die test. The camper is 21 feet long and weighs 3200lbs. This is one or two feet longer than the camper I'd buy and more importantly, about...

2/12/20: Ok, on to more important things than phone mounts. As I've talked about before, I've been struggling with the Montero's lack of power. It's the main reason I sold my beloved 98 and moved to a Gen3. I have many fond memories of an awesome vacation I took with my Gen2.5 - driving almost...

2/11/20: Car Phone Mount installed. I went with this Scosche brand mount because it comes with a flat plastic disc with adhesive on the back so you can affix it to textured dash materials but then easily remove it if not needed, or if you want to move it to the windshield. Also, I like that it...

If you look in my Yoshi build thread I detail the trans service and provide links to write ups and a video.

you can always do the smoke tests yourself, machine pays for itself with one use. See the Lawrence of Arizona build thread and the Yoshi build thread for all the details.

Ya, gas tank would be the worst situation but it’s 99.9% not that. You might need a gas tank vent, there’s actually a recall for that and you get it fixed for free at any dealer. 2nd worst scenario - surge tank needs to be replaced ($800 part from Mitsu only). 3rd worst scenario- both exhaust...

Looks like an 03?

Welcome to the Gen3 Squad! Sounds like you found a keeper and just need to solve a few little things. I think the first thing I’d do is smoke test the intake and exhaust system. The intake side has a bunch of vacuum lines that can leak and the dreaded butterfly rod o-ring. On the exhaust...
