Here it is, our mode of getting to the far away places via the road less travelled.

That does look nice, give us some detail on mods and extras (suspension etc.)

Aha! I think I have identified those rims. They are off...
...a pre-facelift Fortuner

(or post-facelift new Hilux, which is the same thing)
I actually think they suite the Paj quite well, styling wise.

they come from a 2007 - 2009 Ford Ranger in 16"

I just made custom centre caps with the Mitsubishi logo in a gloss silver on the matt silver of the cap.

Why did you fit the Ford rims? From the looks on your vehicle I am guesing GLS spec 2002 model, maybe 2003 . They still came out with 16 inch OME rims, why the change?

Hi Cats, whichever way you look at it , it boils down to. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

With the OME suspension and of course the lift it had, the OEM 16" rims looked a bit "flimsy" all nicely tucked up INSIDE the wheelarches and somehow I don't like that look. The offset on these mags are different and the tyres run flush with the wheelarch extension.
Even the caravan looks the same . . . . same pic, just not cropped
