Did you order your tie rod boots from Mitsubishi or come with the rebuilt rack? I picked mine yo from rock auto and they don't fit over the inner part of the rack.

You have to get the Moog boots (or bellows) that are MADE IN JAPAN. I bought the Beck/Arnley's and they were made in taiwan and couldn't get them on. So I ordered the Moog's and the one made in Taiwan was the SAME EXACT boot as the Beck/Arnley. They use plastic zip ties too. The Japan made Moog has metal straps and a different material.
The build looks awesome so far!! Where are you getting all of your OEM parts? Just from the dealer? I figured some of the parts would be discontinued. I bought a bunch of OEM stuff from my local dealer, but they were mostly nuts and bolts, which I'm sure are used on more than one car for a lot of them.

The shop where I had the rack rebuild at supplied those. I just supplied him with the inner and outer tie rod ends.

I am getting from a local dealer near me. I have a friend that works there so the discount is good. Alot of them are discontinued. Nuts and bolts are good as they fit different models.

Awesome job! I look forward to meeting you and seeing your G-ride when its finished. I'm only an hour south so I'm sure we'll meet at the track or gathering.
Sounds great about meeting up. I believe there a few other vr4 in the Orlando area. Maybe we can do a meet or something.
Small update:
Finished painting the hubs and block. Also ordered new front bearings and seal, because one of the bearings doesn't spin as free as the other.

Here's some updates from today.
Installed the new transmisson mount (What a pain in the A--). I guess the last owner had some transmisson work done. Because one of the bolts on the transmision was stipped. The impact almost didn't get it out. So had to retap the thread. Also got the new oil pan in and installed that.
Out with the old.
In with the new.
Oil pan
Tomorrow I am hoping to get the coilovers and the lower control arms installed.
