location? also, do you have the SWB drive shafts?

last couple days, more of the same. Pulled the passenger side front suspension as well....very exciting. If anything, this truck is pretty easy to take stuff apart. some of the balljoints were a bit of a ********** on the steering but not too bad. Then poured myself a stout and pulled the front...

And stuff being taken apart, cleaned, etc. I pulled the big rolling bench back into the garage (it usually lives in the back of the house since it's so big), beats clogging up my main benches with big suspension parts, and provides some storage. Pressed out the balljoint from the UCA. Came...

Tonight tore into the front suspension. Nothing too complicated here though I had a brain fart and for some reason popped the upper balljoint before I took the CV axle out, so that made things more difficult than it needed to be and tore the diff oil seal (was gonna replace anyhow, so not too...

Got a warm-ish day, so cleaned up the bumper, pulled the swaybar and cleaned it up, and did some painting. I also ordered pretty much everything I need to refresh the front end, other than shocks....so a bunch of bushings, balljoints, and all of the steering linkage pieces that have balljoints...

Yeah, thanks. finally tracked them down on one of the foreign parts places like that. Looks like Mitsubishi discontinued the original part number and replaced it with an "updated" piece...certainly not cheap. Anyhow, here's a link for anyone else who may be looking for it at some point...

So I'm going to apologize in advance, because in most of my automotive builds, the threads start pretty slow as I take stuff apart, clean stuff, paint stuff, etc. Once that's done I start getting into some of the more fun stuff. But that's a while away on this thing, so I hope you'll humor me as...

Got off my ass into the cold garage tonight and after cleaning up, wanted to check out a few things. First of all, needed to get the transmission out of the back and onto a dolly. This isn't a big deal with most of my cars - lifting up most manual transmission isn't too bad - but man, this...

Just digging around for parts I know I need to order in the near future, but can't seem to find any place that lists the main transmission mount (automatic transmission) for my '89 Raider V6 (or Montero V6). Every place just lists the mounts for the 2.6. This is the two big rubber "blocks" on a...

So what's the go-to for parts here? I've been spoiled working on 80s BMWs and Porsches that there are a lot of good vendors that have all the little random stuff available. So far most Mitsu places I've looked at don't have much more than Rockauto, frankly. So where would I go to find smaller...

Found something explaining the head markings, in case anyone cares or didn't already know.

Spent some time today cleaning up the transmission crossmember and the transmission linkage attached to it. Overall it's all in pretty good shape but figured with it just sitting there, might as well scrub it and paint everything. I disassembled the linkage and cleaned up the bushings and...

Yep, that's an option as well - though in this area old FWD Caravan's aren't exactly very common either, most have gone to the scrapyard by now. Still interested in the Montero Sport option, since around here that seems to be the cheapest option perhaps. I guess nobody has pulled that one...

hmm, that's interesting. Imgur supposedly eliminated its bandwidth limits 4 or 5 years ago. I just checked with some friends and they say they can see pics in both of these threads...

yep, I've read all about the 3.5 swap, mostly just wiring, motor mounts, and doing some modification of the oil pain. So that's definitely an option. Just curious about the 3.0 in the Montero Sport since I can find those really cheap around here (3.5 Monteros will cost me more). Keeping my...

hmm, that's interesting. Not sure why they wouldn't load, they show up fine for me......does this site not allow hotlinking? I'm hosting them on Imgur. Can you see them here...

So, for the near future it's mostly gonna be about cleaning stuff up. I want to paint the entire frame (which has very little rust), so will do that section by section, then start on brakes and suspension, though with 240k on the odometer, seems this thing was pretty well-maintained. Pulled the...

Figured I might as well start up a build thread here (which I'm carbon-copying over on Grassroots Motorsports, where I also spend a lot of time). Anyhow, I was recently looking for a new project to work on, as I recently finished my $1000 Porsche 924S rebuild and don't have much going on with my...

So, revising this post.... Basically, there are a ton of cheap $1k or less Montero Sports on marketplace in this area and they seem to never sell. Figure I could pick a runner up pretty inexpensively. Most of these are 6G72s. So basically I have two main questions: 1. i see the montero sport...

lol....I've been around forums for a long time and am pretty good at navigating around the gristle. Thanks for your responses though - i think you've hit all my questions.
