    Just purchased a PB LS Auto 5 seat (white) !!

    Hi everybody

    I've been looking looking and hard for a ride that suits me the best. The Challenger comes closest (not too big, not too small, real 4wd, looks, big storage are the main reasons). Have been following this forum when I was thinking about buying a Pajero and really enjoyed it so now i've joined!

    Anyway I'm picking up a new PB LS Auto 5 seater White next week. Included in the deal were some discounts and

    - Window tint 35%
    - Cargo barrier
    - Tow Pack

    The tyres are getting a change over right away with Bridgestone D694's AT/S ($190 per tyre with $100 trade in factory tyres).

    I thought about the protection bar but the ARB Deluxe looks a bit better (the Sahara even better..$$$) -less bling- probably will have that in black if the Ministry of Finance says 'yes'

    Coming from a part time 4WD/SUV which I bashed up quite a bit I can't wait to tackle with more ease the tracks I struggled before and go beyond!

    Congrats,

    I've got no complaints yet, although haven't tackled any real 4WD so far, but I can guarrantee you will get much further in it than your previous experiences.

    White seems okay, even if mine was chosen by the Minister of Finance.

    If you get a Sahara Bar, please post pictures as I am torn between a white or black bar, possibly by the end of the year.


    Cheers

      I picked the white especially because somehow I always end up with lots of scratches on a car. And beneath the paint it's always white so no I thought what about if I skip the colour in the first place

      In addition to my first post...the factory towbar has been deleted and I'll be putting in a HR towbar.

        Woohoo! Picked up the car this afternoon...the kids are over the moon with it and so am I. First drive was through a hailstorm no less so the 4H sure came in handy right away!

        Booked for a ARB Deluxe Bar (white) in 4 weeks...sweet

          Well done, the scratches issue was the main reason i chose the white as well. Currently have a gunmetal Triton also that has crossed the Simpson desert with a off road trailer in tow, sand blasted the rear tail gate. I posted pictures of mine with the Sahara bar 5 days ago and am very pleased with how it looks. The dealer swaped over the tow bar today to a HR bar and this has improved the back end no end.

                          Don't mind at all. It's the Ngarkat Conservation Park, north of Keith (see thread http://www2.pajeroclub.com.au/forum/...ad.php?t=12488)
