Bubbles Pajero - Winch Bar / Rear Bar / Side Bars

[PR]

Well a couple of months ago I brought the missus a 1991 SWB Pajero J-Top . It has a rear diff lock / 50mm body lift / snorkel and 33”ATRs


On the day I went to pick it up it got towed by the city council as an abanded vehicle as it was on the road with no WOF or REGO but I got it back at no charge

It had a bit of damage to the front right steering as the owner had hit a rock at 80kph
Bumper

Steering Rod

Top Arm

Replaced all the bent parts (except bumper) and power steering unit a couple of weeks ago with the Help of SteveT647 for $120

Then on Wednesday Steve and myself headed down to 4wd Accessories top bend the pipe up for the front bar



And where I am up to today

[Taz]

Should be a good toy and worth a fair bit more than a grand when your done with it. What sort of winch you looking at putting on it?

Also now that you have had practice on that bar you might as well make me one to haha

[red-devil]

when i saw the first pic i throught you had brought my old girl.

you need to find some rear springs out of a lwb, that will lift you 1'' at the rear.
flip the ball joint at the front, then wined up the bars.
body lift easy but the front two bolts are captive.

ill call you later pr.

off to sumner to go play in the surf

Well pritty much finished it today just have to cut the holes for the cable and so you can reach the freespool leaver and plug the ends of the bar and trim the bash plate

[Noeyedeer]

[PR]

[petefj40]

Well done PR.

[PR]

Today I picked up the round pices of round plate that were drilled out of Winch bar mountaing plates which will be the end caps

Then looked at the rear and saw this

So took the bumper off


Cause today I bent these up to go around the back

[Taz]

Any room to raise the fuel tank?

[red-devil]

you can rise the tank on the 2.5 d not sure on the 3 ltr

[NJV6]

They are the same. Best way I reckon is to cut the chassis at the rear to lift it all, chassia and all.

[PR]

Did not get much done today as I tack welded it up and I did not like it so redesigned it Start again tomorrow

I am not moving the fuel tank but should have enough steel plate left over to do a decent bash guard

[PR]

Got most of the bar together today


and got my daughter (Bubbles Jr) to model the departure angle

[coxsy]

ya haven't ground the welds flat yet

[PR]

I have to add alot more weld before I can smooth it off It is a womens truck a she recons it needs curves

And I cant take all the credit for the messy welds Stevet647 had a go at welding tooo

[PR]

Lunch time up date
Cut some plates up to hide the chassie and tacked in place

Made up sme more mountig plates for the rear bar and tacked in place
