Post your Mitsubishi Pajero Pics

Recently I took a day trip up to Big Bear Lake in CA. "the rim of the world" is a nice little drive that loops in and out of san bernardino. The 99 montero is in need of a tune up and has 4.27 gears, previously it had 33" tires and was getting around 14mpg mixed (offroading, city and highway) after going to Yokohama Geolander 31's, even with a lot of steep grade climbing between 1000-7000 feet it immediately jumped up to 17-18mpg (including city and off road). After a tune up it will get better. I'll keep it on 31's until I can put 4.90's in. Then I think I'll step to 33's as this truck wont need big tires and the gears will make it nice for group camping trips, hauling all the people and gear.

what size wheels do you have paired with the 31 geolander's? Looks nice!

@montero98ls it wasn't Diablo drop off. I'm actually headed back in a couple weeks and might do fish creek.

This is the one I did.

And a little video of my creaking truck.

Heres a couple of pics of mine from our last outing, started the day ghetto fixing a coolant pipe that started leaking on christmas eve, when nowhere that would sell any materials would be open.




Spotted this in town a while back and thought it was lovely, 1990 mk1 2.5 that seemed mostly original

What trail book is that? Looks like a Massay book, but it's different from mine....

Love those 2 door monteros, great pics!

I have this book. Funny thing is I was doing a road trip and stopped at a market in Bishop, Ca and bought it on a whim. It has been so useful and made so many trips that much cooler.

Nice photos James. Those both look great.

Stupid phone and auto correct. Meant to say was not wasnt, but anyways sure looks like it. Nice pics.

That is a good book, i've got a couple copies of the AZ edition.

Just got back from a 2000 mi trip from TX to NC for the holidays (and some wheeling!). Truck did great, didn't miss a beat! I'll get some more pics when I get them off my phone.

Potentially a real dumb question, but how did you do the body lift and keep your front bumper up? Truck looks great!

You simply drill new mounting holes.

Thanks! I have the metal to make a new front bumper but didn't have time to do it before the trip. In the meantime I made some spacers out of some DOM to move the bumper up 2" on it's brackets (ie: I kept the OEM brackets the same just spaced the bumper off of them a bit more).
