Took my son on his very 1st camping trip this past weekend as my brother in law invited us because my nephew who is in the boy scouts had a family camp weekend. Campsite was at Camp Lanoche just outside of the Ocala National forest. Plenty of activities like archery and BB guns, fishing, etc...
One of the bolt threads for the skid plates war barely threaded when I got my Montero and finally after the last oil change the last remaining useful threads gave up. I thought this would be a good opportunity to teach my son and daughter something and had them help me helicoil the stripped...
Last sunday both my son and daughter woke up pretty early and my son wanted to explore and my daughter has been wanting to tag along. I scouted a area near me a few weeks ago that look like a cattle pasture field with the entrance gate that looks to have been open for awhile with the weeds and...
Great build man...nice to see a Outlander actually going off trail.
You should check out Adventure Driven design...those guys are always happy to see any Mitsu exploring the outdoors.
Found a spot about 7 miles from where Iive so decided to check it out. The entrance is gated but was open so took the opportunity to check it out real quick. Area looks pretty nice...but its been raining every afternoon so there were areas that had a lot of water so I didn't go too further in...
My son wanted to go exploring again so we set out to a place locally known as the Swamp Ghost. Jeepers go here a lot but there have been many stories of many of them getting stuck in the mud mostly by pure stupidity and ignorance. They started putting "No trespassing" signs in the areas that...
Groot needs a front suspension rebuild...so taking this opportunity to upgrade parts. ADD's (Adventure Driven Design) new chromoly upper and lower ball joints came in and Siberian bushings galore. I just need a couple more OEM suspension parts and the rebuild starts.

son is a big avid nature fan , especially when it comes to wildlife. Knowing this has helped us understand him as he is autistic so when it came to therapy and understanding him. He has always wanted a pair of binoculars to sight see wildlife in their natural habitat so I bought him some...
Found a spot out of the blue while on my way to do a errand and ended up finding a awesome quiet trail. I only got a chance to drive on it for a little but planning to explore it a bit more sometime soon.

Got a great deal on Aisin manual hubs and finally had a chance to install them after getting them a few weeks back.

My grandmother passed away recently and my father was recently in the hospital and along with the other stresses in life I decided to just find a trail and drive.

I got 2 pairs of Asian market taillights from my uncles vacation to Hong Kong a couple months ago. He got me a pair of Leibao tails and a pair of Pajero crystal lens taillights. The Leibao tails have some fitment issues as they are "taller" compared to the OEM tails. I am going to have to figure...

Took my radiator to Prater Radiator here in Orlando, FL and took them 2 days to rod out my radiator. They said it was clogged a good bit but other than that the radiator is in pretty good condition. The shop owner highly recommended me to flush out to remaining coolant...
Any updates for those that just purchased these? I am looking to buy a pair of traction pads but Maxxtrax is pricey for something I don't see myself using a lot since my overland build isn't going to be aggressive like some of those that do more hardcore stuff. I just want something that is will...
Its starting to get hot again in florida and after a week 1/2 of constant rain from that tropical storm a few weeks aga and cloudy days the sun has made it debut and its been killer the past couple of weeks. Last week heat index was above 100 degrees and a weakness in Groots cooling system...
Phil knows his stuff...like I said, he recently just bought a SWB Gen 3 and another LWD Gen 3 for his wife ...both straight from Japan.
Thanks...slowly building it, fortunately the previous owner took great care of it. I am focusing on the suspension this year. Gathering a bunch of small...
