Your limo in the snow reminds me of the original Outer Limits tv show, black and white..."we are in control of the vertical"

Looks great!

First post on this legendary forum

My -85 lwb.

Short info
'93 axel swaps w/ air lockers
'97 engine swap Mercedes Benz custombuilt stroked, forged overcharged diesel engine.
Dual winches front+rear

Currently swapping tranny to a '01 ZF GS539DZ 5-speed manual. R.I.P. 3 different Mitsu trannys doh

Searching for a Dana 300, preferably with teralow, to attach

Raole Duke · 02-04-2011, 07:49 PM

Very nice.

JohnEd · 02-05-2011, 03:10 AM

Thank you sir. I am truly enjoying the car.

Welcome to Pirate! Your Rig looks Well Built.

What were the other 3 trannies? autos? 5-speeds? something else?

JohnEd · 02-05-2011, 04:31 PM

Thank you. The trannies were all 5-speed stock manuals. Two died by torque, the last one from an unfortunate landing on a rock. Cracked right through my skid plate and killed it.

I noticed, quite many solid axel swaps fronts on this forum. Impressive.
I have thought about it, but I've managed ok so far with lockers helping when the IFS gets airbourne.
Sooner or later its getting swapped, but I'm only accepting a swap to portals

sneakyninja · 02-05-2011, 07:16 PM

Yeah 406´s would go nicely under your PAJ, might even look into usinage joints to make the suspension more MOG like. I looked into doing that but for what unimog axles run these parts it is cheaper to just buy a complete running driving Mog which will be my next vehicle purchase.

Crud! hate to hear this as i am running that exact tranny in my rig. i have a spare for now but better get another one until i uprade some day if ever.

rxinhed · 02-06-2011, 10:55 AM

Seems odd, speaking from the US market, to see the 4-cyl grille on the LWB. Love the lights!!

I will probably, if it ever happens, go for the Volvo military portals. In Sweden they are more common.

If you're running stock - or close to stock - engine, dont worry. My Benz engine puts out almost 400lb/ft, so I can't blame the trannies for giving up.
I could however recommend the '93 or newer super-select gearboxes. They seem stronger. I bought one, but haven't used it.

Well actually my LWB is a 4-cyl originally. The 4D55 4cyl diesel. I do however have another grille, but I like this one.
Thank you, all of you, for your nice words.

In these few days I've been browsing pirate4x4 I've already learnt alot, and hopefully I will give something back to you as well. Hopefully.

rxinhed · 02-08-2011, 12:29 AM

My wife and I gave both our children Monteros for their Yule presents. My daughter had a selection of grilles to choose from, so she'll be driving a similarly equipped Monty as yours where this is concerned. Cheers.

JohnEd · 02-12-2011, 05:34 AM

Hahaha that thing is badass 88mitsu. Looks like 38 or 39 inch?
How does the steering work? Rubs the frame?
Broken anything in the driveline?

Thank you. 38.5x15" (measures about 37") Steering is terrible off road, but has not broken. Rubs the fenders and tub. I have not broken anything but I don't push it too hard off road.

Funny how that works. You almost have to buy 42's to get a 38'' tall tire.

Zuk Rider · 02-21-2011, 06:35 PM

just got it home today from a 1500 mile road trip. it is a very odd optioned SR.

stock for the moment.

What size are the kumhos? Looks great!

capblack · 03-13-2011, 09:46 AM

they are 31/10.50/15s, i like it the way it is, gonna turn the torsions to level the front and get a 4 wheel alignment at the first rotation. i like the tires, very quiet and plenty of traction, probably more than we needed for a daily driver, but oh well!! the wife wont let me ditch the running boards, but if we tear one off on the trail, then ill have no choice but to remove them and install sliders

capblack · 03-13-2011, 09:50 AM

Another pic of the threads of those tires, I'm running Kumho KL71 as well.

Can you tell me more about that winch anchor? Handmade?

Dude, that hook is serious though.
