Mitsubishi In Moab: We take our Pajero to Easter Jeep Safari
We typically go to Easter Jeep Safari for the annual gathering of off-road enthusiasts, primarily Jeeps—duh. I’ve been to the event for work many times. We even drove our Jeep Cherokee out there one year. We barely made it, but that’s another blog post. This year, we took our 1992 JDM Mitsubishi Pajero, aka the…

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost one year since Andy and I competed in the 2020 winter Alcan 5000 Rally. Who would have thought an old 1991 Japanese Domestic Market right-hand-drive diesel Pajero would be competing in temps that reached -40, much less finish strong in a rally that lasted 10 days and over…

As electrical things break and need fixing on our small fleet of 1990s JDM cars, specifically our 1991 and 1992 Mitsubishi Pajeros and 1994 Delica Space Gear, it’s ironic how much I could use a local Radio Shack these days. Connectors, wiring, capacitors—all in one shop open seven days a week. Yet the brick-and-mortar stores…

It’s been just over three months since we returned from the 2020 Alcan 5000 Winter Rally in March. We came back to a totally different world than we left thanks to COVID-19. But during our time on the Alcan 5000, we had left the real world behind and focused on the incredible journey.

It’s hard to believe it’s been just over a month since we finished the 2020 Alcan 5000 Winter Rally. It was an incredibly challenging and rewarding adventure! We’ve returned from driving the Pajero over 5,400 winter Arctic miles. There’s so much to talk about, so much to share. So, here’s our first feature story via…

Over the past months we’ve partnered with Pickup Truck + SUV Talk to create four Alcan 5000 Winter Rally preparation videos. Now you can see them all in one spot. Here’s a playlist of all four videos, from start to finish. Hopefully they allow other people interested in both fixing up an old JDM diesel…

We’ve made a second appearance on Tim Esterdahl’s Pickup Truck + SUV Talk, this time to further discuss preparing our our 1991 Mitsubishi Pajero for the 2020 Alcan 5000. Hey, what could go wrong? (We hope nothing!) We’re taking the Terra Tractor, our 4D56 turbo-diesel-powered ’91 Mitsubishi Pajero on the 2020 Alcan 5000 winter rally….

As you may have heard, we’re taking our ’91 Mitsubishi Pajero, aka the Terra Tractor, on the 2020 Alcan 5000 winter rally. Today, Pickup Truck + SUV Talk, run by truck and SUV expert, Tim Esterdahl, featured our story, the first of our video series with him.

I’m in the process of rebuilding the front end on the Terra Tractor, our 1991 Mitsubishi Pajero. OK, that’s actually not 100% true. I’m technically in the process of writing a ranty blog post about the front end rebuild from hell while drinking a whiskey cocktail. Anyway …
