First problem will be...

First you need to accurately identify what vehicle you have - Mitsubishi equips the vehicles differently based on the market they are intended for, so you need to be able to specify exactly what you have, which can be quite difficult if it's used JDM - or what you call "roll on/roll off" - you need to be especially careful with the fuel pump & throttle body - is your engine MPI or GDI - dipstick should be standard based on the engine size, and the radiator cap is an off the shelf item that you can pick up anywhere.

Unfortunately these were not sold in the US, so there are very few parts available for them out of the US, you'll have better luck sourcing stuff out of the UK and Europe - you could also (as a last resort) try Simpson Motors in Barbados, but that's going to be ridiculously expensive.

Hey fordem, I actually kno

Hey fordem, I actually kno exactly what type of vehicle I have. I also know the exact part numbers of the parts that I need. I got the part numbers off the system from my dealer. The only place online I have foud that seems fairly legit is amayama.com do you know anyone who has bought anything from them? Perhaps some of the Australians have contacts for some cheap iO parts?

Have you tried Suriname?

Mookumz - I was speaking with a friend of mine this morning and from what he tells me the Pajero iO seems to be very popular over in Suriname - perhaps you could/should check there for parts.  You may have to be cautious due to the RHD/LHD issues if their vehicles are coming out of Europe.
