Good recommendation

(1/2) > >>

well folks just wanted to say what a good recommendation ,
 we bought a 1993 2.5 turbo diesel shogun  about three months ago,  if any one tells you they should not be used off road tell them they do not not what they are talking about (just use you head) ours gets used very regally off road and dose not miss a beat , its on road tyres and standard running gear, which makes it even more impressive, we got stuck on one rout (lack of ground Clarence) so going to lift her "2 when funds allow and fit a winch properly,  you wont break any land speed records but who cares when they can and do perform so well and the comfort is lush no more back pains (you no what I mean if you have driven some other 4x4s not slating any though) , the other thing we have found so far is its not a leper (bits don't drop off )lol, a couple of draw backs might be 25 miles to the gallon, and some of you might find the lack of speed a right pain but don't forget they also do a 2.8 diesel and a three litre petrol so if you fancy more power there are other options  all in all a very good work horse and family 4x4 I hope this helps any one thinking of getting one to have a drive in one and be surprised (I was) so we bought one.

Yes matey, I am on my second one, the acceleration is bearable. 

Would definitely recommend the 2" lift kit, saves your side steps, for a while anyway.  My Dad has had landies and was cursing when I bought Japanese, but has since been surprised how well it fares offroad.

When this one breaks eventually, I will probably buy another one and swoop my tweaks over.

I have never been in a 2.8 lwb, It would be good to see what the power difference is to the 2.5.

I got a 2.5 SWB (pajero), i just serviced my neighbours 2.8 LWB Shoggie, WOW, the 2.8 just blows the 2.5 away, when mine eventually dies (or I kill it). I will deffo be looking for a 2.8 SWB :dance:

tom38:
yes 2.8 has more power but fuel economy low on them may as well consider v6 :grin:

chrislj:
Had A v6 once, cracking motor with tones of power but you cannot run it on biodiesel!!!!!
