You've come to the right place. In almost 20 years playing with Mitsubishis, the guys in this sub-forum right here are second to none, imo. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more welcoming and generous group of gearheads. The people we meet through our machines are what makes the machines so much fun.
Your truck is super sweet, dude. Kudos. My stock height on 31s, SWB 89 has over 200,000 miles on it and looks nowhere near as nice as yours, but it's the most fun I think I've ever had in a vehicle. That thing will take you anywhere you want to go. Even uphill, though it might take a while.
Adam - you're gonna have to share those Bilstein PNs. Coming from the rally community, I know Bilstein are quality, and am starting to think I won't be able to wait until next year on shock replacement.

Coming from the rally community, I know Bilstein are quality, and am starting to think I won't be able to wait until next year on shock replacement. This is what I like to hear! I am already loving my Monty / raider and it wasn't even difficult changing out the rear diff pinion seal. The old one was dry rotted and cracked. Trying to decide on what shocks to put on her ASAP. The monroes on her hit the bump stops very easily. I don't want a tank like my old XJ cherokee but I sure don't like the wallowing cadillac ride either. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!!!!!

Sweet Raider! Exactly like my first one, all those years ago! Mine was an 88 but pretty much the same. How is the 2.6 running? Give that rad a good inspection for blocking (digital temp probe might help) and keep an eye on the temp gauge. With a good functioning cooling system, these engines are great and give plenty of torque.
