hey all im verry new to this forum but it looks like it may have some good info for me !!!

im just gunna give some info on my car so u get an idea

-1982 mitsubishi L200 Express 4x4
-converted from 4 speed to 5 speed curtesy of a pajero
- converted from 4g52 or 4g56 cant remember to a 4g54
-extractors with straight through 2-1/4 inch pipe
-modified front guards a bit so bigger and fatter tyres can fitt basically cut the wheel arch out and moved it out so the diameter was bigger and welded and boged it back on
- and painted in a home mixed version of metalic gun-metal grey
-and a bull bar

and here is the finished result

3723

so there are a few things i want done for example
- LSD's rear and i hear u can get the center our of another mitsa and use it in the front also

- lift one big issue at the moment as ive wound my torsion bars up almost as far as they go and cant go any furthur due to bump stops and control arms gettign in the way of a piece of steel attatched to the chassis that the bump stops hit

so what im trying to get at here is - is there any type of aftermarket or another car that i can take longer control arms out of another vehicle that will fitt so that the control arms clear that metal dealy

-power steering i would love power steering and im wondering where to get a pump and box to do that i had a pajero once that i took the trans and motor out of for my car and it looked pretty much the same ca someone confirm !?

thats all for now ill add if i come up with anything

cheers

sean!

Your LSD can come out of a Montero. There are ways of using Montero arms on the front to give you a lift. IDK what year. We have had some guys start to do the swap over but never finished there thread. So I'm not sure what year they were going to use. If you find there thread send them a PM and ask them. Try using the board search, here is some of the ones I remember.
