The switch that prevents starting the motor if the cab lock is not engaged.

Haha! Or get your wife to help lift the cab! Well if you need to run the motor while tilted and don’t have a remote starter you need to keep the door open for a while, oh and push the cab tilt kill switch with something..

Yeah I do that too and I feel like it’s a strain on the hinges too so I stick some wood posts into the door handles to take up some of the weight when the door needs to be open for longer periods of time.

My 2007 FG manual states to use the exhaust brake when you want to increase braking and not to have it on all the time because it might inadvertently be engaged while driving which has happened a few times to me on the highways, not so good for fuel economy I guess? so I leave it off as the...

The Michelin’s aired down better then the Toyos, I had the front tires down to 19psi at one time! I agree with Peter it seems like the sidewalks are softer than the Toyos but that also concerned me a bit because the Michelin’s bulged out and I was constantly concerned about tagging the bulge...

One thing to keep in mind with the XDE2+ is that they are a directional tire as in they cant easily be rotated from front to back, they are a great tire though and will go a long way compared to Toyos, I always heard things are dearer in Australia but here in Canada we will pay $650 + for those...

The stock shocks are pretty useless and good alternatives are expensive, I have 4 years on some Fox shocks and they are still doing well, maybe not as good as Yabanjas “Blisters”!

I think you might want to stay with the size tires you have unless you install a turbocharger, if you think you are going slow now having larger diameter tires will make it worse.

No driving to Mexico for us this year, snow instead, brrrr!

I too have been looking at deleting the EGR as my crossover pipe has developed a leak, has anyone seen this video? He seems to have found a way to cancel the code? My Russian translating skills are off.

When you consider that these trucks are designed and came with pretty small skinny tires and meant to operate at high tire pressures then we put on big rubber and lower the tire pressure to make a larger footprint that increases the surface friction resulting in a steering system that needs to...

Tires for sure, rotating them fronts for backs might work, I had something very similar a long way from home and I rotated them also crossing over and that solved it. Bit of a hassle when you have to do that in the bush, two jacks lifting opposite corners at the same time! Couldn’t do that with...

Also when getting a wheel alignment make sure it is a 4 wheel alignment and not just the fronts, most places will only do a pair. Something else to check is the king pin, hope that is the right name for it but it is the pin that aligns the axle with the leaf pack, with a hard hit on the front...

1 to 2 litres less fuel per 100km’s? I lost 1 mpg after installing my Steinbauer unit, I have a hard time accepting the fact of getting more power with less fuel, seems like if that was the case Mitsubishi would have done it already?

Hey Owen, my truck is a 2007 built in 2006 , yeah it worked from the get go for me and I have never done anything with it yet including checking for codes! I get no codes if I don’t check for them, ignorance is bliss! Do these remaps do like the Steinbauer unit as in lengthening the time the...

You didn’t say tires in there anywhere?? The usual suspects for me.

My fourth gear synchro is toast too, last big trip it started to go and now it is toast! Double clutching is fine when moving up the gears but when gearing down from fifth to fourth is the biggest problem and where I live shifting down occurs often. Giving a shot of throttle just prior to...

Thanks guys! 145,000 km’s, how did you know about the T shirt Steve?

This year is the tenth anniversary of my overlander, the truck is older but my first camping trip was May 2010 so happy anniversary!

Yup, that’s it!
