Gen 3 Spare Tyre Cover
Hi.

I have a 2004 Gen 3 3.2 DID SWB Pajero. I am looking for one of those Hard Spare Wheel covers. With the Mitsubishi branding on? That I can get sprayed the same colour as the vehicle?

Any idea where I can get one? I recently fitted BF Goodrich All terrain Tyres - 265/70/16. So hopefully it will fit. I currently have a old crappy cover on which is starting to crack on the top. And I like those hard covers.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

I saw one on the classifieds section on 4x4community a week or so ago. Think it was in the Centurion area.

Slightly off topic but still relevant to the heading.

I have a few original vinyl sparewheel covers that Roelf gave me at the last "Tie in the Dots" tour to distribute.

I will take some photos tonight but think two originally came off Gen3 Pajero and one from a Gen2. Used but still good to go.

Give me a PM if anyone is interested.

Just be aware that if you get one of those hard covers it must be for the 2003/2004 models. The Rim offset changed in 2003 with the new look rims. As these covers bolt to the spare wheel bracket they are also offset sensitive. I once bought one and I could not get my wheel in because the tyre could not go in deep enough. So I gave up and got myself a POCSA one with the Pajero cat on it from the club store.

Hi

Thanks BigWill.. I did not know that. I will find out from that guy, if he knows..

I haven't tried contacting a Mitsubishi dealer yet. Can one buy these things from them? I see a lot of same model Pajero's with these hard covers. But never see it to buy it anywhere.

Thank you CATS, I will PM you.

Cheers

Here are the 3 covers I got from Roelf. They are not new and have a tear here and there but still some life in them. No charge. Just pm me and come pick up in Centurion.

First one to pm me gets first dips.

Cats,

Maybe slightely off topic, but here goes:
The one with the little tear in it was actually picked up in the road by my father in law.

This post to remind ourselves that those covers should be securely fixed to the spare. If it comes off at speed, it poses quite a risk to our fellow motorists - even more so to a motorcyclist.

Thanks

Ok. It seems all 3 have possible new owners that will arrange pickup over the next few days.

Thanks Roelf.
