Rovingmans slow build

[Rovingman]

Well finally starting to look like a 4x4. I got the BFG AT tyres fitted today 265/65/18, have to say they look awesome, very big tyre compare to the standard ones so a little modification was required by removing the front mud guards.
Spare wheel fitted fine.
Rides great

Full set of bushskinz which have saved the paj on a few occasions. Great deal with the group buy and a great product.

Tough dog suspension which is not the typical Forum set up but having it on the TD5 was very happy with them off road, the only down side is, it has to go in tomorrow (3rd time now) as the washers on the top of the pre-assembled front struts are upside down, which has been the small but annoying knocking noise that i have complained about 3 times only to get the old its a pajero thing, so tomorrow if i get a bill i will be loading my voice up ready to fire.
its been on 6 months and has not dropped at all.

I found that out by watching a video on assembling them only to notice it when i had a look the other day just to check out the noise.

Drifta draws with a slide out table and drop down slide came out of the TD5 love this set up, except not all impressed with the slide fro the cash it costs.
I raised the draws 25cm so i could get into the seat well and mounted 2 tie down points on the bottom which i connected to the middle child restraint point.
So no movement at all.

Then made a false floor with a cover to access the 3rd row seat well, turned out great, provisions have been made for a Abber water tank.

Nice looking Paj, bushskinz are far too clean though

Well i took my suspension back to tough dog headquarters as the shock tube was rubbing on the control arm, it has been an issue for a while but i was told it was a pajero thing by a spanner happy don't care about pajero's there shit or know my trade mechanic form OL. Well i said 4 times later. Booked into 4 way suspension and they replaced the front shocks with brand new adjustables, ride is amazing big win!!!

The shock tubes are a little to big to fit and i was told they have redesigned the size.
Well done to tough dog by standing by there product and looking after a customer.
