Newbie - Is a Pajero suitable?

(1/7) > >>

freenote:
Hi all,

I'm a total newbie when it comes to off road, but I've allways wanted to get into it, and I've got some spare cash coming my way next month so I'm planning to buy my first 4x4!

I'm thinking of a Mitsubishi Pajero, lifting it up a couple of inches and putting some chunky tyres on it to start with. Is that a good choice, or does anyone reccomend something else that's around the same price range?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I live in Birmingham, but will be taking it out in mid Wales, where my family live.

Jeep, fraction of the money, different league offroad  :cool:

IFS will always be the downside of mitsi's / Isuzu's...

skids:
You are going to get so many opinions about what 4x4 is best, but I think Pajero's/Shogun's are a good choice.
I had a 2.5 LWB 2" bodylift on 32's and never got stuck and used it everyday, now I have a SWB V6 Shogun, with a 2" suspension lift on 33's.

Its all down to choice

Cheers for the advice guys.

Sorry to a complete noob Dxmedia but what is IFS?

And Skids, your Shogun is a beast! I'd love something like that!

IFS is independant front suspension, you dont get a lot of articulation on Pajero's/Shogun's, but it dont stop loads of them out about off-roading and enjoying it :dance:, and getting all the places you want to go ;)

With a shogun you dont always need the same articulation as some vehicles, if I have a rear wheel off the ground I'll just switch the rear lockin diff on :P
