Re: Prado - Southland Vehicle Project

I got some Hankook RT03 MT's as they are a fairly close pattern for an MT - so probably a good option if you want to split the difference between an AT & an MT. They were fairly cheap, handle well on the road, not too rowdy & are wearing well so far. Cheers Clint Thanks mate, I have actuall...

I am looking to over time modify the vehicle, not for mud bogging/bashing, but more as a trail, fishing, touring and camping vehicle and for my wife, 4 year old and mys...

Re: 3.2 DiD motor - shite or alright?

I just bought one of these with 240k on the clock and the engine feels fantastic compared to some of the older Pajeros I owned. Had a problem with smoke coming out of the back after a week, so took it back to the dealer and Diesel and Turbo looked at it. Turbo wastegate was seized, EGR was stuck in ...

Re: MCC bar with fog light inserts, how strong is the plasti

Ive seen a couple of these bars mentioned in mods people have made to their trucks in Aus. Comments were basically the same as above, poor mounting a some movement. Guess they are cheap though as I have been looking at one for my NM Pajero.

Re: Rear bar for 1989 Pajero

Hey Taz I take your point but I am out in Upper Hutt and work as well so its tricky to get out there within those timeframes.

Really just after a rough estimate and if it sounds good I would arrange to bring it in and have it done, and transport back out to Upper Hutt.

Any recommendations on someone who can create me a simple rear bar for my Pajero in Wellington, prefer Hutt Valley?

Hey mate, when through this process a few years ago. In my honest opinion, go the Pajero. I dont have anything against Bighorns personally except for one thing - they feel incredibly heavy and like driving a bus, both onroad and offroad. I have had a few Pajeros and always found them to be quite cap...

Bridgestone Desert Duellers - great wearing and still relatively capable. Owned two sets on two different trucks and they are a great compromise. Pid $185 per tyre at Tony's in 31" size.
