What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

So a 4500lb vehicle doesn't need high performance brakes then? When I'm going down a long hill in my 95 SR with 35" tires and towing a trailer, there isn't too much else on my mind other than the quality and stopping power of my brakes. I'm also a little concerned about my stopping distances when I'm in rush hour traffic, since a 5' decrease can be the difference between a panic stop and a rear end collision. That's why I don't use cheap brake pads and I machine or replace my rotors. If your brakes aren't that important to you, I'm sorry - they should be.

Reassembled the transfer case today with a 2.85 gear set and new bushings. Installed the front diff with 5.29s and an ARB locker. Cryo treated CVs and drag link rounded out the day.

I took out the center console area to clean it all up. Hardest part of this was to take off the gear shifter. The trick to getting that off is to pry the lower part of the cover and locating the screw that holds the shifter in place. Remove the screw, shift to Park and depress the lock and off it comes.

Picture shows the large amount of junk that's underneath the cover in front of the armrest:

Cleaned it all up. Just need to put it back together today.

Felt any difference after replacing the UCAs?

yeah there's a big difference but I had a really bad clunk on the front end. The UCAs really tightened the ride up but I also replaced the shock mounting brackets on the LCAs which had worn so badly from bolts that were too small that there was about an inch of play that would rattle like hell every time I hit a bump.

Replaced the obliterated positive battery terminal connector and made a tool to apply tension to my timing belt with a 1/4 inch socket

finished the front end today. installed cryoed cvs and the arb locker, as well as new bushings, oil seals, & aisin hubs. torqued everything to spec. tomorrow a rudimentary alignment and transfer case swap will get the rig closer to leaving the shop.

I have not been able to open my upper glove box since I got my 2003 Ltd. So I found some DIY instructions on a mitsubishi forum and drilled out the plastic latch assembly to expose a key lock assembly. Inserted my ignition key and it came right open. Old receipts from 2012 and 2013 from a battery and a set of 4 Yokohamaimage.jpg Geolandars which have not held up well at all. They are on now and in need of replacement and according to the invoice there were put on about 20,000 miles ago. That it terrible for any tire.

Since my buddy who use to help w/navigation on off road trips ended up buying a 96 SR I needed some updates for my Montero.
Added this, (currently shown w/Tundra optional compatibility)

I replaced the rear speakers in the 89 Raider. Also ordered a bluetooth cd player and install kit. Gonna bring it into the 21st century. I also ordered a new CB since mine bit the dust and a cheap handheld HAM radio as that seems to be the way all my wheeling buddys like to communicate. Amazon loves me today......

that made me wonder, what radios did you pick? according to chart below CB could be a better option

Removed my radiator, fan, and doing AC compressor now. Finally, cool air in 90 degree weather!! And a radiator that doesn't leak but that's no big deal right? :sombrero:
