Offroad-Express

Hi all, just got my self a 2.5 td 3 door Paj
Lokking to mod it to make it a capable off road vehilce.

Mods so far completed
50mm rear suspension lift
Wound up front torsion bars to suit.
Removed rear sway bar
Rancho Rs9000xl shocks all round
Front suspension ball joint flip.
Uniden UH7700NB two way
New 31 inch mudders
Front and rear recovery hooks


Mods in hand ( all ready have parts )
Safari snorkel
Trail maxx 12000 lb winch
On board air
Front winch bar being made

What other mods are suggested
Body lift perhaps?

When doing the body lift, cut and tuck the fuel tank, will give you a better departure angle. Then go to 33's

Rock sliders for sure and a set of chains for the 31's for the mean time

Don't forget to add the compulsory mud and dents, best mod's my trucks have had

and a set of chains for the 31's for the mean time

Opps all so got a set of HD chains with ice breakes this week as well

Have taken the side steps off and are going too get a set of sliders made in the next week or so

On my old Paj I had Nissan Rims and by memory they were -23 offset on an 8inch rim. Someone may chime in with the right offset though, but I'm 99.99% sure that is what they were
