Most all my cars I have added a Stainless wire from the lever on the latch over to the left side of the hood. I have formed a loop that can be reached/ fished out from over the headlight. Living where the state treats us like ass with the destructive chemicals they force us to drive in makes...

Normally if you can not find the bolt in housing with the ratio and LSD you desire, you buy the proper size LSD that will fit your housing and swap it in. You keep your gears, both parts and swap the new to you LSD into where your open diff was. You generally need to purchase the shim set for...

Sometimes the simple things are rewarding. This Pajero had the fuel tank vented to the atmosphere behind the left rear wheel near the fuel filler. It has the two vapor separators as our USDM Monteros have but no filtering of the vent. Having been caught out when the ethanol was shoved down our...

The early trucks had no more engine support than a 2.0 or 2.6 car from the mid 70s or the 80s. I do not know if it has to do with output torque in low range or the offset weight of the Tcase. Back in '83 I had a Mighty Max and took awhile to notice that mount, found it interesting. This Pajero...

I am going to have the intake on and off over the next period of time as I build out the cooling system. This task which I have just ordered in all, or I hope all the parts from Gen 2.5, Sports and Gen 3 bits that will be a mix & match to build what I need. But the topic here, the original...

Thank you, I am getting the itch to see what this comes out like, but I am a long way from done. A few more pics as I progress, First is the first "high pressure filter" coming out. Then two shots looking up as I start anchoring the lines in place. I have roughly run the new fuel line near the...

Today I cleared out a section of the frame next to the transfer case that I have future plans for a dual exhaust. This took me a few work sessions over the past week. Burned up another speed controller in a Makita grinder, it really did not like a 9" wheel on it, sure was working well though. So...

Much of my recent time is back on some wiring, one task is I bought a RHD column switch from Mitzy Bits in the UK, this provides me with the changes I need to control everything I need and still keep the RHD switch locations since these are "handed" differently between LHD and RHD. Turns out the...

There are some sweet little toothed tools made to hold the sprockets in the proper location. I no longer try to fudge the job. The marks cast in the heads and notches in the pulley are there for a reason.

Recent task, re-routing brake pipe to rear axle and adding an axle vent that will be at the top of the firewall. The front diff will also be vented up high there as well. In view the lines along the frame rail, the red tube is a new fuel tank vent, the diesel was vented near the filler neck...

I pleasantly got out of this one clean, I have yet to crawl underneath and truly do the job right. Yes I did use some acetone where some goo got beyond the gloves. I have a customer job coming in to replicate a 1929 Biplane fuselage. If that arrives early I am considering putting this on a semi...

Can not say I got any real work done today but restoration work is a must to do. Here are 3 before and 3 after of the RR frame rail. I feel allot better getting as much ground off and a good coat of POR 15 on. It is a warm humid day and I kicked hard. Still will need to oil the inside of the...

I am curious what was done to the thermovar when they blocked off the cooler? The oil has to route through the housing somehow.

Yesterday I formed the rear portion of the new fuel lines, damn do I wish I had lifted the body off this thing if not just for this task. I will never say these lines are "pretty". Pictures later. I am glad I spaced the body up the few inches for this task though. The lines however are tucked in...

I do not intend to go over 33s, for now the 31s that were on it, most of it's duty will be on the street which will be some 265 Hakkapeliitta snow tires on 16s and taller 265s also on 16X8s, both of these have been in use on my SR. Once I come up with some 16" rim offroad tires I can get the...

Current task, Replacing factory hardlines from the pump to the engine as well as the rear brake piping that will get re-routed down the trailing arm. As I was working on removing the retainers for these lines I was finding it a PIA to get into the regions above the frame, the body was just...

One more step for the Pajero, nothing at all for mankind. I have a new Fuel pump and level sender installed now. I had bought new assemblies overseas and had no rush to install them. Being this had been a Diesel it did not originally have a pump in the tank. These had been pulled when out west...

Toasty, I went back to Rock to look at Toyota pumps, they seem to be listed with filter socks and other bits that those additional stuff alone change a PN, until I can find a tech catalog I can not truly answer the question about in tank regulation. If I had two good legs I would jump to...

I just got around to ordering a new DENSO 9510008 from Rock, The OEM for the Monteros and most every Mitsu is the DENSO 9510007. It was not till I just got back here and saw Toasty's comment about needing a in-tank regulating pump. That might be what the 0008 is since the Mivec engine has a...

For my Pajero project being this is a diesel to petrol swap I bought a new fuel pump assy, this was bought overseas and is supplied with an unmarked pump. I am mulling through my mind if I should run this as delivered or swap this brand new pump to an actual Denso pump. I consider this to be a...
