    You've really done an awesome job of planning this one out. I think the 2" extension would've been overkill. A short throw in a 4x4 - crazy

    ...and if you get it glued together by tonight, good luck with the maiden voyage

    short throws for everything. stock shifters are for girls & limp wristed boys....
    this thing is far from drivable, the shifter came out very nice, but i have some engine bay wiring to sort out
    before i can start it again, the brakes need to be bled, AFTER i delete the rear ABS can & load prop-valve.
    and theres no radiator or heatercore, or coolant for that matter, so drives would be super short.
    that wont stop me from driving round he parking lot soon, really just need to re-connect the wires im
    re-routeing & plumb the MAF back in. brakes are for mo's anyhow.
    pick dump.....

    So heres what happened:
    pics are all jumbled & missmashed, i dont have time to sort them out for yall my bad.
    it was an uber bitch getting the upper off the shifter, had to cut open the side and pry it
    open. i deleted the rubber insert, and added a thick heavy piece of 5/8" round stock to add
    some heft to the upper, welded the upper portion to it, and an m10 bolt to the bottom to
    thread into the shifter collar i welded on the lower shifter unit.

    little trick i use to tack-weld small parts together you cant clamp. wrap masking tape
    tite over the seam, then cut a strip out off the seam and tack weld it, flip over and repeat.
    then pull the tape, wash off the adheasive and finish welding. G'nice.
    finish product puts it right next to the steering wheel, throw is about 3-3.5 inches from 3rd to 4th.
    had a helper to finish up the test install...

    Bit harsh with the stock shifter comment Hmm, the gear shift in my Hung Dog wagon does feel a bit like I'm swinging a boat oar though. It sounded like you were a lot closer to taking it out on the road (sans interior). Your pooch wants this thing going so it can do an evaluation. Looks solid

    For sure he does, he loves riding around, but only if its moving......
    It runs and drives, but I've been slacking so the brakes arnt 100% done, that won't stop
    me from going for a short ride.
    Only thing is I just pulled all the pedals & mounts out to get sandblasted & painted, as Mitsubishi
    sent most of it out bare steel, so long as it was hidden up under the dashboard. Sshudve been
    done a while back but now its all modified & ready for finishing.
    It'll give me time to sort out the wires & radiator.
    I still have the entire front end to swap on too, inner fender is back to straight, but the Monty nose
    has yet to be fitted.
    Driveable in 2~weeks
    Done done in like 2+/- months. I hope.
    I got some strict deadlines for the years end, and this rigg is under my ass
    for at least 3000miles overland, an almost 2500 lover sea to where I'm headed
    for winter...

    got the intake piping sorted, just have to cut out the flange to bolt the cone filter to the MAF:
    20190610_154248.jpg 20190610_200653.jpg
    ....and i got my headgaskets, timing belt & water pump in, gotta tear the heads off
    an get it all sealed back up to start driving it around while im building the 4G64T.

    ... and no that was NOT a typo, i am going to build a 4G turbo...
    20190611_181427.jpg
    im assembling a turbo VR6 longblock for my friends vw mkI R32 gti to help fund montgomery here,
    he had a barely-used precision t3/t04 i snagged from him, im gonna sell my vw 16v/aba turbo motor to
    fund a nice 4G64T build. ill make the turbo header and short runner IM myself, think im gonna run it on
    megasquirt so i can have different tunes for ethanol, hi boost/low boost & N/A if the turbo should fail in
    some crappy spot away from civiliation, ect....

    ive been looking at the montero/pajero trannys and i think the 4D diesel gearboxes out of the mkII and newer
    riggs have the removable bellhousings like my V5MT1, im just not sure about weather the longitudinal 4D diesels
    are wideblock or narrow, im assuming they are wideblock pattern tho. thats the only thing i have to sort out,
    is the bellhousing as im aiming to keep the V6 V5MT1 for the time being until i get the funds for a diesel gearbox
    perhaps, i gotta read sommore about the toughest mitsu 4x4 gearbox i can find to hold 3-400hp.

    Im supposed to get the 2.4L 4g engine outta mcant99's max once he swaps in his fancy yota ITB beams 6sp swap,
    so i need to find a DSM/Mitsu 1g DOHC cyl head to slap on it, or im gonna tryin find a mitsu/kia 4g64 to boost.
    havnt had much luck sourcing either at present.

    Anybody got a complete 1g 4G63 cyl head for sale???

    finished up the intake
    20190612_112802.jpg
    went to fire it up again to go next door the other night & get sommore metal work done,
    i turned the key to crank it over, and in the acc & on position, there was this terrible
    door-buzzer noise (but louder) coming from the ECU area... it was the ECM relay right
    next to the ECU, thing is friggin screaming. i know it aint supposed to make noise besides some
    clicking perhaps, so i think its cooked...

    so i ended up tearing into the headgaskets & timing belt/seals/water pump instead.
    20190614_161447.jpg 20190614_161456.jpg
    got the heads off & washed up along with the block,didnt take before pics
    really wasnt very dirty atall inside the chambers or rocker covers, didnt take long to wipe them off.

    found some un-pleasantries. 4 or so stripped out exhaust stud holes will require some
    heli-coiling, and the rear most stud on the right head was sheared off like 3/16" into the hole
    20190618_034022.jpg 20190618_033206.jpg 20190618_033115.jpg
    bollocks. this will take some persuasion....

    heads all scraped and washed up
    20190618_033248.jpg 20190618_033241.jpg
    rocker covers are pretty damn good looking for 30 years old:
    20190618_033224.jpg
    and i got the radiator in. slowly compiling parts here...
    20190618_033609.jpg 20190618_033514.jpg
    and yeah its a lil tweaked from shipping but nothing detrimental, itll suffice. im not tryin to F around
    with returning it, as it was the 2nd to last one they had. salrite.

    I don't remember what shape the body in your truck is in, but in case you are looking for some metal, here's a few pieces you can get for cheap near where you are. The add doesn't say it but I'm pretty sure these are for a 2nd gen, I remember when the guy was selling the whole truck.

    Nice find. If I wasn't strapped for funds I'd go grab that stuff, super cheap.
    I'll check this weekend see if its still round.....

    I gotta tryin get these broken studs pulled, didn't notice but both L & R heads have the same rear most stud
    broken off almost exactly the same. So I've got x2 bitch ass studs to pull. So fun. Wish they left a lil more
    meat to work with instead of sub-surface shite.

    As much as I didnt want to give a white about this engine, my nagging compulsiveness
    along w my father lead to most everything I unbolted to get sandblasted & painted, except for
    the rocker covers which are in very good shape & I can't bring myself to mess up how well they
    look for nearly 30 years old. ( I only washed the lower intake Mani, was NOT feeling pulling injectors
    out & whatnot.... So no blast/paint for that)

    The clean up of the engine was worth it. It's one of those things you regret not taking a shot at when you had the opportunity. Nothing beats a fresh looking motor

    ...need sum mad ITB's and trumpet stacks on it now It's good to get some feedback on what you're doing and yeah, it does keep you motor-vated. And sometimes a pic or 2 can expose a problem to fresh eyes you've missed (like xboxrox and his bad throttle cable I noticed). Once you've got the front end sorted out and the new radiator glued in, you should be rockin' it

    got the coolant inlet sorted out. the new rad i got has the lower outlet on the right side instead of
    on the left underneath the inlet. so i had to make a new inlet flange for the lower hose.

    Well.
    its been a crazy month to say the least. eviction proceedings have begun
    so im in scramble mode to get this thing driving again asap
    padre is moving to fckin maine, last week it was 2 months, now its 2 weeks.....
    so im under serious pressure to finish it, unfortunately NOT to the specs i want and had planned for november

    i got it fired up this weekend, sides the idler pulleys it sounds really good. so happy it started back up w/out any
    bullshit after tearing it down like that. new fuel/ecm relay fixed the fuel problem, did the trick, F'n awesome.

    so next is get it to the body shoppe for the new nose, and at least a coat of primer to freshin shit up a bit.
    i got a pair of gay jeep rubicon sealed beam headlight assemblies to fit, as they have the adjuster bucket
    and everything as a bolt on unit. once i get some funds i can get some baller H4 headlights to drop in.
    ill have some pics up soon, bout to wrap this bitch up a bit, least driving/stopping and registered.
    its starting to get chilly already tho, i gotta sort out the heating/vents/defrost pretty soon here too, might
    be forced to do that elsewhere though.

    more very soon.

    That's tough when you're being told to get everything wrapped up in a short time. At least your truck starts and runs without and grief now the fuel relay is doing it's thing. Good luck with the final touches. Even if you don't get it to the point where you wanted it, you won't need a tow to move it to your new accommodation.

    got the old rad support cut off, made a new one, mounted the jeep wrangler headlight
    assemblies where they need to be. i still have to make mounts for the grille and headlight bezels
    above and below them. the lower piece is also the trim/body panel in between the grille and bumper
    the overall width of the grille and bezels is wider than the maxes hood and fenders, so imma hafta
    stretch the fenders out a tad and scab them in around the montero corner lights. wont be super
    beautiful but its gonna be a 20ft truck, not a 5ft looker
