It started out life as a worn out 2.6L carb'd 5-spd Dodge Raider.  Very early in my ownership (about 4 years ago now), it developed some "issues" as they say.  It ended up being very, very rusted out underneath- holes in frame and gas tank, break lines that decided to fail (on an uphill run of course), compression was low, carb needed attention, etc.

It is now underway for rebadging to a Mitsubishi Pajero (as the rest of the world knows them), during which time much has been done to upgrade it- mostly with scrounged Mitsu parts thus far...

- Base truck included the "off-road package" which included an LSD rear, driver's bouncy seat, headlight washers, and halogen lights.

- Frame off rebuild with most things being replaced/rebuilt.  Basically, took it apart and put back together on... // 4Wheel and Off Road Magazine
