Buying a Paj

<< < (2/5) > >>

i think im going to go for the 2.8 but will have words with my dad about insuarance on a v6 how much is an air locker then? my plans so far are to put lwb rear springs on the back with +2" shocks and brake lines and wind the torsion bar up on the front and +2" shock i think they have 1 on the front dont they? then 33" tyres on 16s maybe a 2" bodylift if it needs it then when i can afford it an air locker on the rear, sound good or am i talking rubbish and dont know much about pajero's?

mad geordies:
alot of the 2.8,s have locking rear diffs, same rear diff as the v6 the 2.8,s also have the power option button a/t mode
i would rather have the 2.8 than a v6 yes its nice to have the extra power but! off road you will find the 2.8 is better due to lower torque and the v6 over powered and just digs holes

i drive a 2.5 with the rear locker and plenty other mods to it and my pal has the 3.5 pajero and we get the same places and do the same things on the tarmac yes he shoots off but i,m dun with my boy racer years

JT:
ive seen your truck its nuts, im definatlly getting a 2.8 so will this have a rear difflock?

alaric:
Pajeros are more likely to have a limited slip rear diff than a locker, Shoguns are more likely to have a locking rear diff.

Most of the Pajeros that are imported are top spec models and usually have the winter pack option, which gives you:

Limited slip rear diff
Twin batteries
1" (1) body lift
Extra insulation.

For most the limited slip diff is enough!

As Mad Geordie says the 2.8 have a PWR/Hold switch to alter the auto tranmission response - In the centre postition the gearbox behaves as a normal, well set up auto box. In "PWR" (Power) it will keep the revs high for max. instant power. In "HOLD" it forces a 2nd gear pullaway and keeps the revs low for maximum traction on icy surfaces.

PWR and HOLD are very useful for off road work too - select low box and Hold and you'll pull away in 2nd low, which is ideal for a lot of off road work - 1st is just too low a lot of the time.

OKAY Basically i was at an auction the other night and a surf went through which was in mint condition and the ssr with all the fancy stuff, i watched it go through to see how much it made and i managed to get it for £700!!!!! the only thing i can find wrong with it is a diesel leak but i will have that fixed in no time, now my question is do i sell it and make a profit or keep it instead of getting a paj?
