I have been a 4WD owner for 30 years but only recently took possession of my first Pajero. It's a beautiful 3.2L Diesel MY11 RX and I am delighted already with it's power, comfort, economy and off-road ability having done some day and weekend trips on some sand and gravel around Perth.
Previously I have owned a Daihatsu F20, series 3 LWB Landy, Ford Raider and then the Holden Jackaroo I just traded on the Paj but apart from adding roo bars I really didn't spend anything on mods. The Jackaroo was my first diesel and now I will never go back.
I have about $10,000 to spend on after market accessories and will be getting an alloy bar, UHF, snorkel, compressor, roof rack, awning and deep cycle battery installed soon.
The things I am considering but am unsure about are a lift kit, any other suspension mods, a power chip and bash plates. I'm heading from Perth to Lake Eyre and Flinders ranges in October and will be doing 5 weeks along the Gibb River Road to Litchfield and Kakadu national parks next year.
We tow a camper trailer weighing about 1000kg loaded with electric breaks.
I'd appreciate any suggestions about the merits of going the extra mile and doing the lift, suspension, power chip and bash plates and recommended suppliers/installers.
