My latest mitsu build-up...

[off-roader]

I did add new 15x10" wheels. You can see them in my trip thread from my New Year's Hangover Avoidance trip to S. Cal.

I have done some maintenance work (replaced fan & fan clutch, etc.) but that's not a 'build' item.

Upgraded from the stock plastic snorkel grill to a metal one from Expedition exchange but that's not a big deal.

There are some upgrades that I'll be buying in Australia and some I already have but still need to install but I'll wait to finish them before I post any more details..

Mr. Ray,

Would you mind revisiting this write up? http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showf...0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=2&fpart=1#Post1143828

What are your long term impressions with this kit?

Could you post the pics of the install?

Thanks!

Which kit? The snorkel or the bumper?

 

[LaOutbackTrail]

Sorry, the snorkel.

 

[off-roader]

Sorry, the snorkel.

The snorkel has been great. No issues whatsoever. Definitely worth it IMHO. I'll have to track down the install pics later once I'm back home from work.

Swapped in Euro-spec tail lights so I now have reverse lights. With my aftermarket rear bumper swap, my new bumpers did not have a spot to mount the OE Mitsu reverse lights. They normally are mounted in the stock bumper.

Nice looking wheels, how about a shot of the whole truck?

 

[zukrider]

why 33's? you down sizing in whole, or just dropping for mileage?

 

[eurosonic]

Ooooh I like the wheels.

Will do... Tomorrow when I get a chance. Was out and about all day.

To increase mileage, reduce tire costs, & ease up stress on the entire drivetrain... Sort of in that order...

Ooooh I like the wheels.

Yeah I like them a lot.

Street tires.

 

[off-roader]

Pic of full rig as promised (brightness adjusted to show the rims LOL)..
Rig looks smaller with these rims IMHO but they are street tires after all...

 

[LaOutbackTrail]

Looks pretty good. Post up more info on the wheels when you get a chance, please.

15x8 Method Double Standard rims. Dont recall the back spacing/offset but theres only one 15x8 size available from them. http://www.methodracewheels.com
Price At America's Tire / Discount Tire was $140.00 ea when I purchased 5 rims and tires.
