90 Paj Build up

[cruisn06]

Hey everyone, here are a few shots of my Pajero that is currently a work in progress for long range touring. the fun 4wding is always great but getting out to the middle of nowhere is always a blast to.

I have a to do mod list a mile long, but for now I have done:

31x10.5x15
2" tough dog lift
41mm foam cell shocks
arb bull bar
custom rear bumper
custom roof rack - still in progress -test fitting everything
built a second battery holder but still have to mount it
and one hell of a wax job

so without further blabbering here are a few photos of the beast.

Looking super clean:




Lift installed:


RTT and Awning:




Custom Rear bumper:


And of Course a few manditory 4 wheeling photos:

The underside of the head is still a mess. but when I get it planed that will all be gone.

Hi All

Nice looking ride you have there.

[cruisn06]

Well, got a bit more done to the Pajero today. mounted the fuse box for power, and redid the roofliner, well a partial anyways, might jsut go the rest of the way now, I like the new colour better. its easy enough to install. I wil touch up the sides, that was my fault for not making sure it was 100% centered upon install... oops







Fuse box isntall:

Well, got a little more done today, I started off with cleaning up my wheel wells and cleaning the wheels since they have been neglacted quite badly.

The wheel wells show no rust, but the old coating was chipping away and I figured it was time to get in there with a wire wheel and peel the rest away then recoat.
turned out not to bad, I am happy with the looks.






Wheel cleaning: This part I like, they turned out amazing. im scared someone will pinch them now... *shifty eyes*

Before:




After:






Start of fabbing up a drawer system, using 25mm square tube 1.6mm wall. very light, but strong to work with.



Will be back in the shop tomorrow to get more done on the drawer system. hope to have it carpeted by tomorrow. the drawers will ahve to wait a bit more. still sourcing sliders.

The paj is looking great.. Where did you find the new roof lining? I would like a set of rock sliders as well.. 1 day?

[cruisn06]

Pretty happy with todays progress, got the top of the drawer system finished, which is a miricle in itself as I cannot do carpentry to save my life... but give me some steel and I can make a work of art.. intersting... LOL

Started with a test fit:



Then I did some carpeting:



Installed:

I got it from bunnings, its marine carpet, now that I have installed it I think a lighter material would of been easier to work with, but this stuff is definitly doable if you have patience
