Hey all

Thought I better put a post in here.

My name is Greg and I live in good ol ChCh.

I am pretty new to 4x4'ing - my only previous 4x4 was a Niva - which went terrible on road and surprisingly well off road.

I recently purchased a `86 Pajero SWB 2.5D turbo. It is currently stock and sitting on standard 29" AT tyres. Looking at 50mm body lift and tad bigger tyres

:twisted::twisted::twisted:.

Unfortunately my 4x4 runs an open diff and unless i win lotto I cant see myself upgrading this in the near future.

Anyway just really wanted to say thanks for all your help / input so far

Welcome man. Don't worry about having open diffs. I'm still running opens in mine until later this year and it goes most places I need to go and more.

otherwise known as the maori locker. it works bloody well. if you get out with the chch boys get them to teach you the left foot braking technique, its well worth knowing. :wink:
