Hi Scrooge, pehaps you could turn your Caps lock off. To type in all capitals is akin to shouting. there's no need to shout here, everyone can hear you. Good luck with your choice.

too low in stock form for hardcore. we used them for exploration in the pilbarra including offtrack (although thats not overly hard in the
pilbara) everything was tucked up so when bellying out they seemed to slide over.
not the best ride and very skitish on fast dirt but once again aftermarket
suspension would help. panel wise they are solid - more so than comparable vehicles including luxes.
plenty of zip uloaded for an old school diesal
well proven in many vehicles 2.8
as much as i wanted to hate them i couldnt
didnt really have them long enough to comment on overall durability but the only thing i saw really break was some ABS sensor that brough on warning light
at a good price my opnion is they would be worth a look

Get outmore, thanks for your reply. I have never driven a 4x4, i got a taste while at
walhalla, camping. I currently have a one wheel drive (
well two sometimes)which has high ground clearance but it dosn't have the ability to get where i want to go. Dont need a full on 4x4 just something to allow us to go to more
places. Thanks Scrooge
ps what do thinkm is a good price?

This is my opinion only, based on two previous Mitsubishi's that I have owned......DON'T BUY ANYTHING WITH THE THREE DIAMONDS OF THE DEVIL ON THE FRONT!!!!!
Cheers

As said above, They are pretty solid, And yes aftermarket
suspension makes a huge difference. I'm running Bilstiens.
Should be a good buy at the right price
