Hey guys, im new to this site. well to posting in it at least. This is my car.

It runs off a mitsubishi 2.9L turbo diesel so i spose technically its not a true jeep but its my baby and i love it. anyhow, i was planning on putting it on 33"s, old man emu suspension and running a bullbar all the way around but i lack some ideas and i was wondering what suggestions anyone may have. itd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, dave

Hay Raiden, what you have there(from memory) is pritty much a CJ3b or a 'high hood' but yes its a Mitisubishi not a Jeep. But still a unique little truck, very few and far between.
First get rid of those mirrors,sorry that was one of the first thing i notice. Yuk.
But really whats your intened purpess for this truck??? and how much can you do yourself???
Ill take a punt. If it was mine, ill get 4" lifted spring, but keep it spring under with a shakle revesal on the front and a U bolt flip on the diffs. install lockers front and rear if your buget alows.
Dont worry about the bullbar it'll just add unessersary waight to the front. With the front bar, just cut the ends off close to the chassie rails as possable.
go to Google and serch for mitsubishi jeep or cj3b and press 'Images' and go from there.

Hi Dave,

Nice Mitsubishi CJ3B! Here's my Mahindra CJ3B.

How big are your stock tyres? My Mahindra has 750R16 stock which measure up at about 32". Not sure you need a 4" lift to run 33's depending on what flex you get out of the stock oor OME springs.

I'm not a fan of the front wings on the front guards (ADR coverage thing) and I had planned to get some standard "flat fender" CJ3 guards from Marathon Spares near Tamworth. They import all old military Jeep reproduction panels if you need them. I'll probably just "trim" mine one of these days.

A good Mitsu page for you on the CJ3B website

There was an Aussie guy living in Indonesia who use to post a fair bit on Ausjeepoffroad.com who had a few military/CJ2/3 Jeeps done up for comp work - if you can find pics it might give some ideas for bar/cage work or at least how it looks.
