My Mk1 Pajero (gen1) finally came to the end of it's useable life with too many repairs required



so i bought a Mk2 Pajero (gen2 in the states, i think <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />)
This is how I bought it standard



and this is it now, with snorkel, winch, 2" body lift and 2" suspension lift, 31" M/T's

Great looking trucks. Good to see pics of the homeland <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> They are Pajeros and not Shoguns?

Yep they're Pajero's, the japanese version all imports, not the shogun that was sold here by mitsubishi. The Pajeros are generally speaking better equipped for the same money and more importantly rust free because they haven't been exposed to our bad weather.

This is my wifes soft top Pajero, due to be traded in for a euro hatch that'll do 60MPG (have you seen how much fuel costs in England <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />)

Awesome. A lot of people here will be drooling over that softtop Paj <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Fuel in the UK? Yeah, my mother stayed with us for a couple of weeks. We worked out that it's the equivalent to $12 a gallon <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Having said that we drive a total of 40 miles a year in two cars which seems normal and you wouldn't beleive how hard it is to buy a car here that does 35+mpg. I still like it here though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My mother runs a Range Rover in the UK on LPG but it seems the subsidy on that is fading away.

Love the new truck. You tested the snorkel yet? Nice discrete winch mount but is the fairlead still the same shape? I would have bent that in no time down there! Dynema (is that how you spell it?) and a low profile hawse fairlead would get round it.

Thanks Matski. The snorkel is untested at the moment but the winch mount has certainly been tested, 4 hours of winching to get myself and another Paj out of a sticky situation and it's still in good shape. A dyneema rope (or similar) is on my wants list but it's all I can do at the moment to find money to fuel the thing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I hear you there. I just put �110 in mine today @ �1.40 a litre! All gone by the time I got home <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I accidently climbed up the wheels of our car hauler while trying to back off of a little dirt hill. City wheeling at its finest.


Smith grind! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />




Me in the green shorts spotting my exit.









It was real tippy when I was on the top of the wheel well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> but at no point was I stuck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> My nephew and his friends were entertained while taking a break from wrenching.
