Little more work this weekend:

Bliksem! (that is Afrikaans for "Wow!)

That has now become a very, very nice Gen1!
There is just something about the Gen1 Pajero that I like (must be because I own one )

Congratulations!

thanks, lets face facts, pajersos are awesome and the old ones jsut look so tough. This weekend coming up I will be finishing my dual rear tyre carrier. and some engine tidbits.

I have ordered a 53l tank and pump to fit along with 2 space cases. and have removed the middle seats, allowing me to build a false floor right to the front seats, material was ordered today.
I got a call from 4wd action magazine here in OZ to do .a article on the wagon.

Nice build.

How is the motor handling the 33's?

ever witnessed a fat kid qoing up stairs??? about that fast.. maybe a little slower. LOL

its not to bad, I am on the hunt for 4.825 gears, I have the front diff sorted, just need the rear and I will be laughing.

I got more work done today!
on the way to work I rolled over 300000kms


And started on a dual spare tyre carrier.

LOL...I like the description...

Was just asking as tried 33's on my V6 and he also was not too happy, low end and off roading ok...but long road...so went back to 31".

Do you have the 2.5motor? Sorry if you posted the answer already

the 3L should be able to handle them okay, I am running a 2.5 now and offroad it struggles a bit, hence my need to swap diff ratios. but I can still cruise down the highway okay. I normally dont go very fast anyways.. 90-95ish as I am touring around. or even slower if I am on gravel

Almost finished, jsut need led tail lights and to remount the plate.







I need to drill some stopper holes so they stay open on funny angles.
