MY2015 NX build

[DT6061]

Had this car for 2 years now but only started to set it up for touring earlier this year. Main role of the vehicle will be a tow rig, currently for 1983 13' Jayco pop top van but with a newer 17' to 19' foot van in mind, something in the low 2000 kg range and suitable for outback/remote/self sufficient touring.

Almost everything included in this car is based on something I have found on this forum or from talking with like minded mates (no Pajero owners but keen on outdoors, camping and the like). Anyway thanks to everyone and anyone who contributed by sharing their ideas.

Changes to date:
ARB steel bullbar
Airtek snorkel
Dobinsons MD 2 inch lift suspension
Airbagman airbags
100 ah agm rear dual battery
CTek dc-dc charger
ARB onboard compressor
Fyrlyt Nemisis 9000 driving lights
Provent catch can
Bush skins intercooler and sump guards
Aldi roof racks and Kings 2 x 3 awning
EGR resistor mod

Latest job was the electrics, completed over a couple of months with some help from my best mate who is a sparky but not at all keen on auto electrics.

Now just waiting on Stedi to release fog/DRL to suit the arb bar, think it's been 5 or 6 months now since these were initially meant to be available.

While running 6b&s for rear battery and compressor also rerouted the electric brake wiring and caravan fridge hotwire that was originally run under the car - this now all goes through the big grommet and runs to third row seat well under LHS door sills. Just peace of mind having this all tucked away safely even if I have no intention of any crazy rock crawling etc.
Pics are pretty self explanatory - the Anderson plugs shown are for running 12 volt fridge and connecting solar panel, these tuck away inside third row seat mount covers when not required.
Still need to run air connection from compressor into rear cargo area. Also will be replacing ARB air hose fittings with Nitto fittings.
Will see how I go loading pics.

Looks well done mate, heaps of work with the electrics.

Out of curiosity i'm looking at getting a catch can installed. would you recommend the Provent catch can? also how much are they installed?

Cheers

Thanks, I think the catch can was about $330 supplied/delivered with bracket to suit the airtek snorkel. Very easy to fit, bolts in at driver side radiator mount, remove the engine cover and trim it a bit, remove and attach a couple of hoses. It seems to collect a fair bit of oil so hopefully doing the job intended. Annoyingly it leaks at the bottom of the drain hose where the tap fitting attaches so haven't been able to measure volumes trapped. I have replaced the hose clamp already but need to have another crack at it.

No secondary filter? This was one of the most important mods to me. Rural as well as city area servos have been known dish out shitty fuel. The EGR blank as well as a Provent catch can went in from brand new on my 2014...no issues with either of them 3 years later.

So far so good with fuel but secondary filter wil go in before any more remote travels. Have her resistor mod.
