with mitsu you will find a depth of engineering that transcends neglect. the fundamentals are so solid that the rig will bounce back from neglect and perform admirably. pay atten to the weak spots address them early, and keep a program of steady upgrade/ maintenance and you will be surprised to...

but i did get the forklift running.... now who could possibly be at fault for switching around the plug wires? id like to catch the son of a buck.

get springs too and trailing arms, and compressor maybe brake master cylinder. but mostly just drive the heck out of it. most of the fellas here prefer the gen 2 rigs for a lot of different reasons. i really like my nimble tiny (tinny) gen 1 lwb. what a sweetheart. she is earnest, eager...

took 3.5 hours.....sheesh

fantastic if two people are tearing into it ;should take half the time. So.....when can you be here? hehe

Dude your too cool. thanks for thinking of me and no hurry at all

got a 94. forklift refuses to start. thus i can't load it on my trailer and tuck it away from the prying eyes of city inspector who is due at my place to see if i have cleaned it up enough to avoid a ticket. she is up in the air on blocks Scrapper is coming wednesday. its raining like god is...

you rock ! now if i could learn to upload foto....

whats that brown stuff all over ur rig? up here we call it mud or a hillbilly paint job. but that there is AZ land of sun and the envy of all we here stuck in the swamp in the 'ol big muddy!

wow my mileage did vary. Every time i have a known case of water intrusion, i change bearing grease. im generally very cautious in sealing the bearing. which provides a double cut, its sealed up good, but i dont know the condition of the bearing due to the Seal! what i have found is that the...

now wait a second, every post of yours I've read, has been right on, but this one stumps me. the idea of packing properly with grease and water never even getting to them.!! i wish i had been as lucky that way, like the time my front driver wheel on my tonner ranch truck came off in a turn, a...

if they slip too easily then the dimple method must be employed to prevent spinning of race/bearing. in fact i would go as far as to say dimple the outer bearing seat on the spindle as a matter of course.

a hillbilly bearing race driver: take the old bearing race you have just removed, and take the grinder to the outside circumference. remove a little metal. this race will slide easily into the hub. use it to seat the new races. b4 u do this make sure your race step inside the hub is clear of...

new windshield (again) and new rotor , caliper bearings, seal, drivers side. battery check alt test. vacuum the carpets. just the regular stuff i do to avoid car payments. took almost all day

Just a reminder to you mitsu drivers. our rigs are old and we spend a lot of time on suspension upgrades -out of necessity, or fun. An important ingredient to ride quality is tight wheel bearings. Today, I replaced my drivers hub and rotor. Passenger side is original equipment. will get to it...

begin by a bath in muriatic acid. do all your PPE safety stuff. then rinse with a heavy solution of baking soda and water. swish with a parts brush after a splash. getting all crannies. let sit a spell, then freshwater rinse. rinse rinse again then hairdryer. then paint, i like wheel...

what hell is that wording in the front grill? really great to see another gen 1 fella/gal on the forum. (if i can get the learnin' in maybe get some pics of mine up) yours is really a standard for the breed. have any more pics? love the rear ladder.

Its been my experience and generally accepted good idea concerning sway bars to eliminate both or none at all. a rig with no bars will sway evenly until tip point. there are no counter forces acting to cause unpredictability, just greater body roll. this is assuming suspension is at factory...

wow i dont get it . you just said it and i checked and they are there. wow thats pretty awesome u must have some pull with them fellas ...so , i wonder if you could ask them where what kinda metal and how these bars are made. by hand in a shop in phoenix i hope? by gnomes kidnapped from a swiss...

a minivan motor will get you going in no time dont give up!!
