New to the site so thought I would just introduce my Gen2 SWB 3000 V6 Pajero.
Here is the short and sweet version
I bought it a few years ago, lady driven, had never seen off road and had about 60 000km on. Mint condition.
But the off road part was about to change. I used to be a toyota man, my last toyota being a kitted DC hilux. But when I saw the Paj, I had to have it, lol. And so a few mods began.
First up was a few power mods, so fitted and did the following:
Free flow exhaust
Headers
K&N
Tops were skimmed and free flowed, valves changed
Engine was Blueprinted
All managed and tuned with a Dastek Unichip.
Then came time for proper wheels, so on came a set of imported Watanabe off road rims, alloy inner with stainles steel dish.
Which were fitted with a set of Yokohama MT's
Then came bumpers, front and back, could not find what I wanted, so went the custom route.
Was happy with the standard suspension, as my model is factory fitted with a hydraulic lift kit, raises body 70mm at touch of a button. But the standard springs got a bit saggy at 150 000km, so went the OME route.
Then realised a little bit more travel on the front wont be bad, as the paj often lifted his leg on some obstacles
So cut the front Bump stops
And Voila
Later added a diy roof rack, but recently removed it as was not 100% happy. New one in the making. I use the paj mostly for kaokoland and damaraland trips. And have been known to do some recoveries in remote areas. Love the little beast.
