Mitsubishi Jeep and Type 73 Light Truck Introduction

- An introduction to the Mitsubishi Jeeps that were produced in Japan under license from Willys. Based on the CJ3B, this vehicle was in continuous production for 45 years, going through evolutionary steps in powertrains and chassis from F-head Hurricane to Astron and 4DRx diesels. We explore the development history through the decades and cover the major milestones along the way, on all three wheelbases. Video contains over 130 images from catalogs and JSDF archives, plus auctions of surplus vehicles, a few of my own Jeep, and a few belonging to friends. I had made a few mistakes with the military variants in this video, which I've corrected in this new video: • Type 73 Light Truck mi...

It's amazing in retrospect that they kept building them for more than a decade after the Pajero was launched.
… and in the same plant!
Great information/history source, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it There's a lot more content on the Mitsubishi Jeeps over on my other channel, Tall Jeep Tales.
_Very_ thorough.
I appreciate all of the information.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@LesSharp I did, indeed.
I'm in the U.S. and have owned a few 'flatfender' Jeeps.
I presently drive a hot rod 'flattie' with hopped up Buick 'Odd Fire' 225 inch V6 (gasoline) with 4 speed and Warn Overdrive.
I'm fairly well versed on Bantam, Willys, Ford, Kaiser models but not as much with Hotchkiss, Mitsubishi, Willys Do Brasil, Mahindra... .
This video is the most concise reference I've seen, including printed material, regarding the Mitsubishi models.
Great video.
Thanks!
Mahindra was given a license to assemble/ manufacture Jeeps in 1947 onwards…for most of us in India, who grew up in the countryside, Mahindra and Jeep are synonymous and freely used interchangeably.
Yes, I remember. I spent nearly two years in HP and J&K, I think 1986-87. Every govt. official, engineer and surveyor traveled in one. Lovely machines.
@@LesSharp oh that’s wonderful! So happy when people from far away come to our lovely country….
You have no idea how much I miss those times.
Very informative thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!

@@LesSharp yes we have alot of j23 and j24 in sri lanka but very few type 73s . anyways keep up your videos. they are awesome.

秀樹感激Goodです=3
my big interest is how is the chassis and suspension different than the civilian Pajero?? I know that the military G wagen, I own one, has a considerably heavier duty frame and suspension. Is the J73 the same??? I am looking at a 1993 model.... any information would be greatly appreciated.
While the Type 73 can be seen as a forerunner to the Pajero, it’s a very different vehicle. The Type 73 Shin is based on the Pajero but the newer platforms really don’t have anything in common with the 73 Kyu.
@@LesSharp but does the type 73 have a heavier duty suspension and chassis? Or is it the same as the pajero?
Hi Les, do you know of a snorkel kit available for the Jeep? , mine has a 4DR6 motor, Thanks
It should already breath from above the fender. I don’t think there’s a kit available but all the guys in Sri Lanka have them. DIY!
@@LesSharp Thanks!
