Extras - Project Pajero Page 3

  Initially we fitted this dust deflector to brighten up the rather boring look of the rear of the vehicle.  After having done  few trips in heavy dust in convoy with other vehicles it has proved its worth in its primary role.  It really does work well at keeping dust off the back of the vehicle.  It is important to keep dust out when you open the rear door as the vehicle itself has to be the most dustproof 4WD that I have ever owned.

  We now have a set of additional wheels for the Mud Terrains to go on allowing the normal road tyres to be used around town.  Finding wheels with the right clearance for the brake calipers proved very difficult but this set of stylish mags proved to be the answer.

  Whilst the new Pajero has far better suspension travel and good ground clearance we can always make it better.  Here you can see one of the upgraded Pedders springs that has increased clearance by 50mm and stiffened the ride slightly

  The standard steps we built were great but the plastic mouldings hanging down behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheels were not.  These had to go before they completely self destructed.  So we took off the moulding under the sill and modified the front mudflaps and fitted our own heavy duty units.  This allowed us to put on a longer side step for more protection.  Problem solved.

  To compensate for the additional weight in the rear of the vehicle we have fitted a set of Polyair springs.  Every coil sprung vehicle we have operated has had these springs.  They are a really great suspension aid.

  Long Range Automotive have developed a 81 litre auxiliary fuel tank.  This tank fits really neatly below the rear seat and now gives the vehicle a capacity of 176 litres.  Great for those long trips and for filling up when the price of fuel is low.  Still uses the original filling point with a dual filler neck.

  The performance kit that we have developed for the 3.5 litre V6 Pajero is mainly exhaust orientated.  The engine has far more pulling power or torque and is usually a gear better uphills than standard.  The noise level of the exhaust is still kept below the legal limits and is only marginally different to standard but sounds a lot nicer.
