G'day all,
Just purchased a 2011 NT Pajero, LWB '30th Anniversary Edition', cool silver, auto.
My previous ride was an MN Triton GLX-R. I loved the Triton, but really love the Pajero! Essentially sold the Paj for a Triton as we have become a one car family and the Paj is a little more refined as an everyday vehicle for the fam, but will get us where we want to go offroad.
First impressions, noticeable differences: much nicer, smoother ride than Triton (Triton stock suspension is terrible). Better fuel economy (and larger tank). Quieter in the cab. More comfortable seats, spacious in rear (passenger seats). Some really nice dded extras for the anniversary edition also... though, I hate that the voice function doesnt work for the phone on the MMCS, and the maps on the MMCS and functionality are pretty ordinary.
My first steps for the Paj (in no particular order):
- change the bash plates (it was the first thing i did for the Triton, bets investment ever). Ive seen some good chatter about Bushskinz plates on here, so I'll check them out - any other recommendations?
- install Provent oil catch can. Removed this from the Triton before selling, will have a look to see where i can mount it in the Paj. ANyone here installed the provent?
-install battery isolator, then cable and anderson plug into the boot. I've got a Thumper battery and 40L fridge - the next challenge is to work out some tie down points (i had some awesome tracks installed in the Triton, but im not sure how to do it in the Paj given the 2 extra seats in the boot)
- install tow bar. Any recommendations other than the MMA one? Ive noticed the MMA one sits a little low, though there may not be any option. On the Triton the MMA one was terrible, so I went ARB rear bar and tow bar which was awesome.
- tint front passenger windows.
I'll be sure to do some research across these threads for the info im after, but anyone has any recommendations on any of these I'll be grateful.
In time, I'll then change the tryes (had BFG A/T on Triton), consider suspension - though the suspension on this is WAY better than on the Triton - and think about a bull bar.... nice to have dreams.
Pictures of any mods to follow in time, when money and time is available.
Looking forward to learning more about the good, and not so good, things about my new ride.
Love that car.
Cheers,
Matt
