I would like to know the feasibility of reducing the low range ratio in the transfer case.
If anyone has had any experience with this please let me know.
Lynton,
Your question is going un answered, but I have not come across anybody that has actually done it. I drove Pajeros for so many years, that I just accepted it for what it was, but my new Isuzu has opened my eyes to the benefit of a nice low crawl gear.
Play around on YouTube and you will find a few videos where Pajeros play with other makes in the rough - it is very obvious how much faster the Pajero goes through the obstacles due to the higher Low Range. What is important to notice though: they always make it through. The whole Pajero package is well designed and well engineered.
I'll keep an eye on this post

Thanks for the responses guys... Appreciated.
I should have said that mine is a 2001 Gen 3 3.2DiD Manual.
I will follow up with Marks 4wd in Aus but I was hoping to find something local.
Thanks Guys.

AFAIK the Gen3 petrol and manual has a 4.1 ratio. It is a direct swap. I had 285/75 on my gen3 Did and wasn't happy with the power and fuel consumption and considered this mod, was feasible but expensive. Have reverted back to standard tire circumference. Awesome mod, with 285/75 tires, if you can afford it.
