How come your Raider don't look like my old Raider? Sure made a change or two over the years, eh? LOL...

Soooo, Mitsubishi made a 2 door Montero and Chrysler sells it and calls it a "Raider". Chrysler makes a Dakota and Mitsubishi sells it and calls it a "Raider".

Did they run out of names that fast???


Side note: That is just a representative photo, I have none of mine. Twas before the "digital days". Ex wife took ALL the photo albums on me!

I bought mine new in '89 for all of $11,995, loaded with 3.0 V6, power everything. Only option I did not have (nor want) was an automatic transmission. Had the thing until '98 and sold it for $3800 with 138k on the clock. Only thing ever went out on it that wasn't normal maintenance part was the air conditioner. Used it as a "woods truck" the last year and a half with no A/C. Pretty reliable vehicle if you ask me.

I hope your "Raider" serves you just as well...

Looks pretty cool! How about some close up pics of the headlights in the daylight with the lights off so we can see how they look then. Thanks.

@jkeaton I bought the LED's at Autozone, they are 20$ for 2
The undercar lights were just some halogen foglights from walmart for 20$
The LED's Are wired into the cargolight button, i have disconnected the actual cargolight because i blacked it out and overdid it so you cant see it anyways. The underbody lights and the blue in the back next to the doors is wired to the dome light when the doors open or truck is unlocked.

@Hammer, I hope mine lasts just as long as yours haha, but i kind of treat it bad lol

@Brian, what kind of pics did you want, like all the lights off?

Yes, please during the daylight like a close up of where they are located and how they are mounted. Those lights really set your Mercedes off. Definitely makes it an eye catcher.

Thanks for the day light pics I wanted to see how noticeable they were during the day. I also really like the idea of the ones on the bottom of the truck that light up when you open the door or unlock the doors. Not only does it look good but it is a safety/security feature that you would think would come stock on some vehicles.
