front bumper

Had some leftover steel from the rear bumper I built for my LWB a few years back. I decided to build a front bumper out of the leftover. More to follow

You also missed the cool green gen II parked on the curb.

I didnt miss it. I have seen his SR on 4x4wire. Dont tell the LC guys but I often considering getting rid of the 80 and going back to a Monty. I had a 95 SR. How do they Gen I do on MPG?

Depends on your tire size and engine. My 2 door v6 (89 w/out a lockup torque converter available in the 90/91 automatics) gets about 12 w/ 33x12.5 MT's and armor.

My 96 gets about the same (city/highway) w/ 35's.:Wow1:

Justice R, what a transformation! :clapsmile


I love those Gen I's. Glad to see some of the Wire's finest finding their way here and speading the word about Mitsubishi's.


Welcome to ExPo - :beer:

How do they Gen I do on MPG?

My bone-stock Gen 1 4 door with a 5 speed and stock (235/75x15) tires got about 16 in the city and 19-20 on the highway depending on how I drove it.

Nice thing about it was the 24.5 gallon tank which meant I could figure on a minimum 400 mile range and on more than one occasion was able to go nearly 450. I got spoiled by that tank because now I consider any vehicle range < 400 miles/tank to be inadequate. My current Taco is good for maybe 325 or 350 if I drive like an old lady and feel like pushing my luck.

I like where you're going with it so far. Nice job. Anxious to see more.
