A couple of things we have found as we put together our new Pajero:
The headrests in the NX are not adjustable like the NP, this was important to me so we stole the headrests from the NP - they fit just different colour. But that's ok if you're covering them up:
We have bought multiple seat covers over the years from this place - http://www.coverupcaraccessories.com/
We went back recently and picked up a full set of custom made for Pajero cloth covers for around $170. A mate of mine was in the car the other night and as he got out he said "you're going to have to look after these nice seats" - he didn't realise they were covers the fit is that good!
They also sell RM Williams brand canvas covers for a good price but not for the back. We used multiple sets of these in old Pajero.
The front seats don't go back anywhere near as far as the NP - quite stupid actually - may consider NP seats down the track, more comfortable anyway.
The small storage box at the left rear of car can be made into a very large storage box. Either remove the panel and remove the inside skin of the box OR just cut the bottom and the rear side out from the top. Once done you can now access a huge area for storage, we cut some carpet and lined it to stop things banging around. Pop the lid back on and you can't tell.
You can poke a yellow tongue from the 2nd row area under the plastics that sit above the rear wheel through to the 3rd row seat mount for pulling cables through without removing the plastics (big job).
You can also poke the yellow tongue through from 2nd row area to front seat area under the centre pillar plastics without removing the pillar plastic.
The factory tow bar kit leaves the plug a long way under the car and on the underside of the bracket which makes it prone to damage. At the very least flip it onto the top side of the bracket. I moved mine to the other side to suit my camper trailer (there is enough spare length for this) and mounted to the underside of bumper very close to tow bar and as rear as possible, much better position now.
I bought the electric brake harness with intentions of fitting myself, looked at the instructions, too much plastics removal and work. Paid an auto elec that the dealer recommended to fit it for $100 - took him about an hour & half, I think it would have taken me all day!
There is an alarm, even on the base model NX. Follow the manual to enable it. My dealer didn't know there was an alarm! Base model has no ultrasonic movement sensors, upper models do, you can disable them if needed.
After some research we have ordered this light bar, will hang it under the top bar: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Led-Light...item19f488c989
NP Exceed / VRX 17" wheels do fit on the NX
D697 in LT265/65/17 116S does fit (just) on the spare mount with the spare wheel lift kit fitted.
Will add more as I go, hope it helps save others time.
