What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

[The Viper]

well not necessarily today, but in the last 2 days.
1)1st ever (i assume) full synthetic oil change with mobil 1 filter

2)new ceramic break pads all around

***I cant believe my 2003 has floating rotors all the way around, this is beyond awesome!***

my old gen 2 had captive rotors in the front which was an absolute pain to change so this was an amazing suprise

Just installed a 2" body lift from 4Crawler. My '98 Montero now rides high, and view from inside is awesome. Couple of weeks ago redid the complete front suspension... What a change. Now to look for tires...

Finally changed out my crank bolt, as well as finished up my DIY rack.

All in I have about $200 in it. 75 for the rack, 35 on extra aluminum bar to stiffen it up and help expand the width. The feet are from Garvin, the 7" rise versions @ ~$25 each. If I was going to do it again, I'd spring for something that would cover the entire roof and not just the back 2/3rds...

it's plenty sturdy, I can stand on it and bounce... it does flex a little, but not enough to make be concerned with an actual load up there.

What flares are those?

What flares are those?

No idea... My brother gave them to me... they were on his Montero, and had them already when he bought it used...

Got him all shined and packed up to be strapped in a container and shipped overseas!

well, determined my Monty has an oil leak. Understanding that the 6g72 and 6g74 are know for the rear camshaft leak but they looked fine. I can detect the leak to be coming from above the alternator. I would assume it would be the front camshaft seal which will need to be replaced with timing belt which is due. I have decided to park the Monty until I can take care of that as it goes through 1-2 quarts of oil every 500 miles. I have noticed it doesn't leak nearly as much when not running.

If it's coming from above the alternator that's probably just valve cover gasket, if camshaft seal leaks the oil comes out way lower

i just did my timing belt and had oil on the alternator and nearby areas, turned out to be the passenger cam seal. valve cover gaskets might be seeping a lil but there was a good amount getting thrown around from that cam seal.

A few days ago, but finished my aux trans cooler, fan, AC fan replacement and blue sea fuse box install. Now I have an on demand switch for AC fan to cool the car when going slow off road and another for a separate 7" fan that feeds the new trans and oil coolers.
Back to working on my template for a trans skid plate. :sombrero:

Replaced the alternator on my Gen 2.5

It took half the day, because I'd never done this job before, but I got it right (I think). Had the battery and A/T lights on intermittently for a couple of weeks. In-dash volt meter showing 14.4 sometimes, 12 at other times. Looking good so far. Got the alarm going off when I re-connected the battery, but quickly found the key-to-on-push-orange-alarm-button instructions on the web.

Last weekend I started with Quick Fists: a pair to replace the back door handle for a shovel, and an single huge one on the front of the driver's seat frame for a fire extinguisher. Also mounted a MagLite on the back of the center console.
