Wow! Love it love it love it! Next time someone complains there's no aftermarket for these rigs, someone needs to post a link to this thread!!

I will commment on the ditch lights - they are awesome! Mine are lit by the indicator, but they really do light up corners! Too bad Mitsu NA didn't give us these...

Thanks for the AT gauge tips - I have an Autometer gauge in my pod, but still haven't hooked it up yet. Maybe this is the inspiration I need!

Please please please keep us updated. I'm sure everyone can use at least one useful mod from your truck. Probably more... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Hey Scottie,

I would suggest airbags in the rear versus stronger/higher lift springs. Firestone, Airlift & Polyair all make a bag for the coil sprung Monty.

Your rig would fit right in with some of the expedition vehicles down under...

I have air bags in my other montero that I use for towing, but for a vehicle that needs a plyable suspension for off road applications, the air bag makes it too stiff for my liking. I have re-designed a new set that should do the trick.

Off topic, but I see you moved to Australia, for good I assume? How are you liking it? How is retirement treating you?

Since you are down there, I am trying to get my hands on a set of rear tail light assemblies from a pajero that are brand new and have the reverse lights built into them. Do you have a Mitsubishi dealer near you that can order a new set in for me? These would be for a gen 2 montero of course.

X2. I am interested in these as well.

X3. I am also interested. Aftermarket rear bumper from a jeep means no reverse lights for me right now...

I have the Australian spec lights and the amber is really dark plus it has no hole for a light. The Euro tail lights have the correct combo for stop/turn/reverse and they are plug and play where the Aus lights are not because they have signals in the bumper. Do i need to show pics? The Australian taillights look the coolest but didn't work for my application so i made my own hybrid US/AUS (US lights with working dark amber signals)



US = Stop/Turn
AUS = Stop/Reverse
EUR = Stop/Turn/Reverse

I thought it was kind of funny that Toasty didn't know the reverse lights in his new set up even worked until I pointed it out. He's got separate reverse lights that are wired up as well, and I mentioned how one of the four lights didn't work, and he seemed surprised I mentioned "one of four."

It's brighter in reverse than forward. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

So how do we go about getting euro spec tail lights that have the reverse lights built in? Do the folks from Canada get that style? I know we have a couple forum members from Canada. I want new ones ordered from an over seas dealer direct from Mitsubishi
