Thanks. Right now I'm working on my 91 LWB. Maybe I need to start a thread on that. Its a pretty mild build, but I wanted a rig with more room and I'm retiring the 95.
As far as the SWB, I'm going to put an ARB front locker in it soon. That will be my next Major project with it. I Have a set of Gen2 upper control arms, and a larger steering box from a 95 that I'm going to swap in as well along with the beefier gen 2 idler arm. I'll probably do that all at the same time. I still want to add a trans fluid temp gauge and mount a small pusher fan in front of the tranny cooler. There are always things I can do on this rig. I also Have a new carpet kit sitting in the garage. I think I'll wait until I install the front locker before I start that project.
The last thing I did to it was install a set of hella conversion headlights. These are a great improvement over the oldschool halogens.
Oh yea, forgot to add that my wife had duratracs intalled on it when I was in Afghanistan. The MTR's were worn pretty good and one of them got a sidewall puncture somehow.

Just checked out this thread. Awesome Monty! I love the SWB Mitsus. I'm an Isuzu guy on the hunt for an 89 Trooper RS to complement my 91.
Keep up the good work. :Wow1:

Truck Looks Great
Here is a link to some motivational Okinawan 4 wheeling Videos. I own a 95 SWB Pajero. We also owned a 91 Pajero LWB. Great truck except the timing belt broke when I was in the sand box. Any way enjoy the Vid.
