I have owned my pajero for 7 years, and love it. Unfortunatly the v6 developed a bearing knock, and due to the exorbitant prices to have it rebuilt, as well as the fact that they do not seem to be good candidates for rebuild, I decided to do the Lexus conversion. All that remains to do is the ECU, and TCU wiring and fitment. The project has unfortunatly taken much longer than expected, and is an enormous amount of work, but hopefully it will be back on the road in the next few weeks.
