Hey all, after looking for 2 years I picked up this 2001 Limited with 104,000 miles on it. So far I haven't done much to it other than install the rack, remove all the back seats except for the single one behind the driver for my first camping trip in it, and I pulled off the bottom strip of the moulding. The interior and windshield are so clean it feels like I'm driving a new truck, and I'm pretty sure it's never been taken off-road.
So it's a little balky going from 2wd to 4wd and back, but once in 4wd the center diff locks quickly and I have no problem going from 4hi to 4lo and back. So I have the solenoids on order but haven't received them yet.
I don't know what all I'm going to do with it because I'm short on time and money, it may be just stay the way it is for light 4 wheeling when I'm out camping (mostly desert, with maybe a trip or two to the Sierras each summer). Although I'd really at least like to get some rock sliders or another solution to use for recovery/flat changing with a Hi-Lift.
The big thing right now is the previous owner bought it at auction and I can't determine if/when the timing belt has been changed. So I need to get that done soon and it's the only thing I've currently budgeted for. I searched the forums a little last night looking for mechanic recommendations here in Los Angeles and didn't find anything Mitsubishi specific. If anyone has a recommendation, on the eastside preferably, I'd be very grateful for it.
Cheers,
Greg
