    REST IN PEACE TO MY MONTERO

    That sucks,but that looks like a free for all,those crashes must happen a lot up there. Did you get any chassis damage from it or is it things like the sills and the bulkhead? Onwards and upwards though! You'll have a nice new Montero to use as a blank canvas,and you can fish all the best bits...

    Led wiring question

    I would be sticking a relay into that. Otherwise you'll have 6 amps going through a switch,which will get rather hot. Using a relay isn't that hard anyway,and will save you a lot of grief. Personally i'd use a relay on anything more than 16ish watt. Otherwise you end up trying to suck extra...

    OME Torsion Bars...?

    You would be able to get them as firm or soft as you fancy really,depends on how you index them. The way they come from the factory would have the torsion bars in their "sweet spot"(say the the adjustment bolt is wound in halfway for arguments sake). The more it is cranked the firmer it gets...

    Light system set up review

    This is for the pajero,but being Japanese it's probably the same,they are also negatively switched I've the half size version of your light bar on my front bumper,i'm quite happy with it. I'm the kind of guy that opens everything I buy,and found a screw rattling round inside it,which could...

    Montero Towing?

    I like that idea,once it doesn't look too home made it won't draw attention from the testers. Mine wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have that extra bit that sticks out and hangs down,it's hard to believe the stopping power something so small has. It really frustrates me how different mitsubishi...

    Montero Towing?

    The manual ones haven't got a transmission cooler,they also have a different front radiator to the auto ones without the ATF pipes at the bottom,i'm just thinking that in the US it can get very hot and it will do no harm,and for the money they cost it will give you that bit more peace of mind...

    Montero Towing?

    What kind of hitches are ye using over there on the monteros? Personally I wouldn't use just a plate coming down from the factory recovery eye,by all accounts that thing is only rated for 1500 kg. There is 2 types of tow bar,one is a heavy duty,and the other standard duty,they go into the 3...

    Great pricing on KYB Monomax shocks

    All you do is take off the small bolts holding the motors to adjust the shocks and cable tie them up and out of the way. A wee trick i've learnt for replacing shocks is to get the fattest person you know to compress them,and tie them in their compressed state with some of the orange string...

    Project "Full Restoration" 1983 Mitsubishi Turbo Diesel 4x4

    That has a serious retro/cool thing going on! Can't wait to see more pics I can't believe something with that engine was once the fastest anything though!

    Gen III Montero durability

    A friend of mine has a 05 3.2 one on 33s. It will go pretty much everywhere mine goes. He has the advantage of the independent suspension making the diff higher,so it won't ground out as easily,but the downside to that is that there isn't a whole lot of articulation there,however the traction...

    '96 L400 Delica build and adventure thread!

    Yup I've to 4m40 in mine. I had to get my injector pump sorted too because the poor quality diesel from some places here made some of the seals perish. It's a pig to take it out in a pajero,never mind in a delica. Have you any picture of the engine bay on the IP side? If you do decide to go...

    '96 L400 Delica build and adventure thread!

    When you space out the wastegate you're essentially turning up the boost. What you will need is 2 washers that are about 2-3mm thick. Put these washers under the wastegate bracket so it spaces it out by the thickness of the washers. Then to tweak your injector pump you take the intercooler...

    '96 L400 Delica build and adventure thread!

    That is sweet! You don't see many blue ones,most here seem to be a greenish. The blue really suits it. What you would really benefit from is giving your wastegate and injector pump a tweak,it's the best thing i ever did!

    Post your Mitsubishi Pajero Pics

    Thats a really interesting box you have one the back,what is it for? Here is a few pics from another adventure we had on the weekend,there wasn't anything too tricky,but the water was fun! And a video I made. I got a really cheap dash cam,and I'm really enjoying making videos on it. I fancy...

    Replacing Compass Bulbs in Center Gauge Cluster, Gen 2.5

    Here's mine. Needed a different one for the inclinometer,as the spread wasn't enough. I'll have a look at what I have in the instrument lights and post back,I know the climate control takes the same as the compass

    Diesel Pajero Import

    Are you able to buy a crashed one that has been cut in half,that way it's not the full car and can be imported as parts? I think that the petrol ones are far nicer than the diesel ones,much smoother power,and better performance. I would have one if I could afford the running costs. But I guess...

    Open source 4x4 concept

    A better approach and departure angle than most of the stuff nowadays. Maybe some cheaply replaced bumpers,or else easily removed bumpers for off road. Proper recovery points front and rear would be good. Space inside that can be used for CB radios,sticking brackets onto,storing phone and sun...

    UK Suzuki Jimny

    I have one of them too,The lift really ruins the ride,not that it is anything great standard,but lifted makes a bone shaker out of it! It's possible to get different stiffnesses of springs Mine had bigger tyres on it,made a good difference to the ability to cruise,it got slower to...
