Short update, mostly just maintenance. I'm not sure if this is a common issue, but my rear view mirror kept getting more and more loose until it eventually separated from the ball mount. Fortunately 2008-20015 Lancers share the same mirror so I snagged this one for pennies at the salvage yard...

I had previously calculated how off my speedometer was, so plugging in, securing the wires, and doing the initial calibration took me all of about 6-7 minutes. I've seen some yota people run the boxes into their cabs, but the boxes are weather resistant so I didn't bother. If you do want to...

Spent my Friday morning doing a little maintenance to try and fix the grumbling noise I was getting at 3k rpms during highway speed, as well as the excessive driveline slop. After some researching, I concluded the likely culprit was old transmission fluid causing the ever so common torque...

I’d love to because fuel cap is about a gallon low, but not exactly sure how.. did you fix yours?

PM'd!

Update! Following the recommendation from SONICMASD's thread, I too decided to replace my 4wd solenoid. And bingo! Cured the grindy-vibration type noise I was having at 80mph +. Now we're rollin smooth as silk! Also added a generic heat shield to the exhaust because as you can see..things...

33's are on! Carrier flip to fit the spare. Fits very snug! Only about 2mm clearance from the wiper arm! The rear wheels clear just fine and don't scrub at all, but the fronts needed a little help. No scrubbing during slow speed turns, but faster turns or during articulation I got...

Glad to hear you found a cure for that grinding noise! I've been having the exact same problem word for word, so I'm gonna hop right to it and see if it works for me too.

I kept the OEM resonator. I really like the volume, but it does have a constant highway drone from 2200 rpm and up. Especially bad at 2800 where I tend to cruise. I will say though that my girlfriend hasn't complained at all about it and another friend mentioned he could hear it, but it's...

Back to that grill: drawing on inspiration from gen 1 montero grills and the ever so trendy grills of the modern truck world, I ended up with this. The spotties cover it up for the most part, but I still think it adds a nice little flair to the front end. Now, to add a little more bark to...

Thanks man! Post pictures when you do and when you start modding it. I'm excited to see what you'll do to it! Your gen 2 is killer!

Finally got an alignment after doing the lift springs install. Went to a small indy shop to get it done and they did a really great job. I waited for the work to be done and the tech really was meticulous about setting the alignment straight. He didn't just adjust the toe and go like most...

Working out great! I'm very pleased with them. I chose bilsteins over nitrochargers because the bilsteins have a reputation for being longer lasting and valved softer iirc. I had bilsteins on my gen 1 and loved them so I just stuck with the same. Honestly, getting the panel off isn't too...

Yeah, I used the upside down cup but ditched the damper/bumpstop bellow looking thing that used to sit right below it. I'm not sure which way is correct, I'm guessing either using the cup or the included washer would be fine though. I just followed what sonicmasd did on his Yoshi build thread...

I was going to hold off for a while more when my budget has more wiggle room, but a pair of rear MD springs new open box and reduced price popped up on eBay, so I bit. I'm very glad I did though, the truck rides fantastic now! I put the A spring on the driver side. The very next day I...

Thanks! The Gen 3 has already proven itself many times as a road trip warrior in the 4 months and ~7,000 miles I've had it. However, one thing that myself and my passengers have wished for are more power points for keeping devices charged. Mitsubishi actually did a decent job placing 2...

More on that subwoofer...Now that I freed the low profile pioneer unit, I put the old JBL into storage and put the new pioneer with it's respective box into place. Both subwoofers are 8 inches, but the pioneer combo is literally half the size. And, it has these little mounting legs that allow...

That's a great question, and to be honest, I'm not sure either.. Results may vary of course, but with mine on the higher setting I got about 22mm more lift. So amount of additional lift wanted might be the deciding factor.

Next up, literally the easiest mod I have ever done! Literally 5 minutes. Cabin air filter. Shoutout SONICMASD for setting it up on the facebook! Immediately I noticed that the airflow slowed down a little, which is a given since I just added a filter, but I also noticed some better smelling...

Well, the Montero survived a trip down to Baja with no issues other than completely killing my stock suspension off road. It didn't even bat an eye idling for 3 hours in 90 degree heat and traffic with A/C full blast while waiting to cross the border. This was the only pic I took which was at...
