I got me an 1989 Mitsubishi Montero LWB. It's got the 3.0 with 180,000 miles on it. I have done a few things to it so far like a new camo paintjob, 31" M/Ts, and some miner mods the the interior such as XM, CB, made the drivers bouncy seat more bouncy, removed rear seat, stuff like that. Future plans for it are Pro-Comp 15x8 wheels with 2.50" backspacing, 3" body lift, new bumpers that I'm going to fab up with 1/4" steel plate, well you get the idea. I basically want a vehicle that is quite capable off road but still streetable. Here is some pics.

This is what it started as

Nice I was really close to getting the long wheel base model but my 89 swb was cheaper and had less miles :-) my question is is there a kit. For the body lift you want to do or are you just gonna have your local 4x4 shop make you something...also what's out there in terms of suspension
