Anyone by chance know the story behind this? (w/ pics)

Just saw this pics on another site where the poster just saw this driving down the road and snapped a few shots.

Weird looking, but i like it!

I dont even think its a subaru, but it has suby stickers all over it

funny thing is, there is a big crowd of enthusiast into this. its those 4x4 wheeling people.

the montero from mitsu is a very popular to use.. hence the Dakar rally championships theyve won several of.. I think better known as the Pajero in some countries.

i do still find it funny when people drive it on a daily basis when it is all dakar 4 wheeling style fixed up on the street, with the huge snorkels and shiz.

i dunno, the thing is kinda half-cool, half-retarded lookin. imo, it'd look 10x better with all that stupid chrome crap and hood scoop taken off.
