Mitsubishi 2.7 litre Jeep

These from my Banff compadre, Toby Clark. He introduced me to a lot of back country Banff and we paddled a bunch of Rocky Mtn rivers...the Bow, Kootenay, Athabaska. Also West Texas and the Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande. For the past 25 years Toby has been spending most of the winter at a fishing camp/resort he and his family founded and own at Port Barton, on Palawan I., in the Philippines.  He has alway owned extraordinary vehicles,,,the Chevy sedan Suite 50....the '52 truck we drove from Banff to Texas one winter, hauling 6 canoes over Raton Pass.

This is the jeep Toby keeps on Palawan. His notes:

"1993 Mitsubishi military jeep 2.7 litre turbo charged diesel engine, high low range 4x4. Roof rack was built here in Puerto Princesa. It has allowed me to partake in some amazing adventures...considered by many to be one of the best 4x4's ever built. Not fast, but in all the yrs I have only ever been stuck once--and with the help of about 40 villagers– men women children– a few rocks and some huge hardwood planks, I was on my way again.  My youngest daughter and I once drove it onto a homemade bamboo raft and floated it across a major jungle river that had flooded then washed out the highway bridge. The raft was hauled back and forth by a huge diesel donkey winch similar to those used to haul out  logs in the early days of logging in British Columbia. The jeep was built from the 80's until 1998 for the Chinese agricultural market, so the steering wheel was on the left hand side same as USA. A Chinese farmer could plow his fields haul livestock to market then clean it up and bring the family to town all with the one vehicle
