So, metal fab projects all this week.

It a tight fit... Can only back in, If I put on 33's and 1" body lift I highly doubt I will even be able to fit..

well, its sunday here in Oz and I have been getting a bit of work done to the pajero. I have a full week off coming up so I am only doing a few hours per weekend. and a bit of custom fab on the weekend. works well for me.

I have installed my new slave cylinder, whihc now holds pressure. so that is another item off the check list. no photo of that, maybe one later.

I also installed the new drive shaft I got, perfect fit, looks great. I am pleased with the quality of the work.

Moving to the outside I ended up test fitting my new headlight covers, to find that it has a set prior and now there are to big of holes to use now.

But they look good:

Moving on I also installed the uhf antenna.
A shot of the front end: looking the part now. I am super happy so far. included is a test fit of my new roo light

Here is a side shot of the lights, there a little big and protrude a bit. but not to bad:

Now onto the big purchase!!
58L aux fuel tank, with electric transfer, this one is a huge increase in quality over the main tank replacement. no spatter, great welds, good paint. I am pleased.

transfer switch and gauge:

All fittings included:

With this tank I am now able to carry 190L under the pajero with 40L in jerry cans on the roof rack for emergency.

Thanks, I guess I need to do a large update since I have a lot more added, but since I was heading out bush, I slacked on the updates.

here is a photo of it all prepped for my trip.

Has been a while since I updated this thread.

I have almost finished the engine bay, I need a few sensors hooked up still, and to finish mounting the intercooler. but it is coming along nicely and looking quite nice

Well, the weekend is coming.. well not really, but its a great excuse to work on the pajero. tonight goal was a rough mock up of how the led strip lights will sit under the awning and to test light output, I am rather impressed with them. I will soder the wires and heat shrink it all so it never shorts out over corrugations.

In place:

Thank you, lots to do still. I have a shop stall lined up so I can put the wagon up on jack stands and get all the running gear freshened up, along with getting the wagon prepped for inspection for the engine swap.
