I've owned two Pajeros in the past, a 1996 LWB GLS 3.5 V6 and a 1997 LWB GLX 3.5 V6.
I now have a 2000 NM Exceed, 3.5 V6.
Two things.
Firstly, a lot of my mates into off roading own Patrols and Cruisers and they put shit on me for having a Pajero. They say the Pajero's off road capabilities are not very good. They do say these things in moderate jest, however it annoys me all the same.
First two Paj's I owned were very capable off road, and I didn't do any mods to them with the exception of AT tyres.
I know Pajero compared to Patrols and Cruisers probably can't go quite as many places, but am I a sucker for wanting a decent off road truck after having bought a Pajero? Fact is I looked at Patrols and Cruisers and I didn't like them as cars. My truck doubles as a family wagon, and my family and I appreciate the luxuries of the Exceed. My best mate tried to convince me to go with a Patrol, but I like Pajero's. I would now have my third if I didn't.
Secondly, I'd like to do a lift, suspension enhancement and bigger AT tyres. I've seen a lot of info on this topic, but never before entered into the discussions because they were all very technical. I have no idea of the terminology used to describe what I need, so in basic speak, I want the lift for the reasons mentioned, so I have a car that is still nice to drive on road, with the capability to handle most off road conditions as well.
Any recommendations on what I need to achieve this would be welcomed.
Cheers.
