    Parts from Russia

    Not sure about Iran but other countries in that region have Mitsu warehouses with no exportation restrictions to US. Been awhiles since I researched this and our world has truly changed as who we can do business with.

    Right hand to left hand conversion

    As Toasty brings up, I will add I have never seen a LHD Delica in the common markets. Brazil maybe but they are hard to buy vehicles from recently.

    Parts from Russia

    I have quite a few parts here that I have bought from Eastern Russia. Their dealers have one of the best supply chains that I have found over the decades and the swaps I do need quite a few difficult to source parts. Not uncommon, in the past at lest to get less than a week shipping for far less...

    Alternate Transmissions.

    I have also mated the KM132 5 speed Mitsu trans as well as an RX8 6 speed to our V6, both of these are RWD so probably not of great interest here.

    Alternate Transmissions.

    I am making this thread so I do not muddy up Adam's project thread. This is another project that had been covered back in the days of the Wire. This is a 6 speed manual for a Gen2, a simple bolt in once a hundred hours of custom prep work has been done. This is an Asian/ Toyota derived 6 speed...

    1990 Montero V8 project

    I have a Miller 250 Mig, good old hard wire that welds sweet. I have not used it much, just built a half dozen trailers with it. A Miller 250 Syncrowave is my workhorse, It is an old hardwire machine. I have a few lighter duty Mig & Tig machines that get time. Also a Lincoln 200 Tig that just...

    Hidden Winch

    To me that depends on where you locate the relays, I mount my relay up high on the inner fender and utilize a cutoff switch since my early style Ramsey relays found a way to turn itself on which did me no good when hours from home some years back. Destroyed the battery but not the alternator.

    Hidden Winch

    Here are a few shots when I swapped my winch to the Gen2 SR. No changes from the Gen 1 Turbo. Nothing pretty here after 200K miles over 20 + years of trails and winters. I have plenty of shots of the Gen 1 but they are on slide film and not easy to post. Anyone who claims you can not hide a...

    Hidden Winch

    Yup, I run a Ramsey REP8000 on a simple custom bracket. The bracket is a 2" box tube with one hole drilled through each end that take a long 12mm or 1/2" bolt dropped down through an existing hole in the frame. This was originally installed on my turbo Gen 1 back in 1990. Later transferred to My...

    1990 Montero V8 project

    Take a look at the universal circle track radiators. Mine I used in my turbo swap way back in time is still in use today. These come in various widths and either 16 or 19 tall, the stock location uses a 19, the 16 tall should fit up front on top of the crossmember. Many Chinese or American made...

    Those are good machines, factory is 1 1/2Hr from me. I bought an 800 a few decades back, low hr machine at this point but does it's job every time.

    Pitchblack Rally Recce Raider Build

    Front winch is easy, to me at least, the frame is the same for Gen 1 and 2. I use a 2X2 steel box, I expect it is 1/4 wall. I built this back in '89 for my G1 turbo so details have slid away. The frame has a reinforced 12mm hole that you use a 5 or 6" long bolt dropped through to mount the new...

    They both really want to get out and play rather than hiding under a dusting of snow all day.
