Yeah me too. Hopefully it was just an unclip here and an unclip there... let the pigtails hang and find 12V from the radio harness. Still. I think if the center stack was unbolted it'd leave lots of room without hacking...

Looks awesome and makes me miss my shorty. Quick question - did you ever install a pyrometer (EGT) gauge? On my 4M40 that was an important gauge for me when towing my trailer in the rocky mountains. It acted like a distant early warning when the temp was rising. I could stave off engine...

Kept my gen2's superselect in 4hi (center diff unlocked) for months at a time in winter, when I had it. Its a viscous couple similar in principal to an automatic transmission's torque converter, so no harm in running it full time, as long as you're not running mag wheels/tires on the back, or...

I am continuing to bid on Paj-Evos, and one has come up with interior mods that will have to be "undone". The triple meter has been usurped in favour of... what else... TV/DVD player, and some kind of goofy shelf. I've had the top of a gen2 dash apart before, but its been a few years, and I...

To answer your original question, although it may be moot at this point... I think of them as sharing a "character" or a vibe but not much else. Gen3 is more comfortable, more NVH over rough roads, better auto transmission with the addition of a fifth gear, bigger feel and actual footprint. Less...

BTW, nice to see the catch can. Never did get around to doing one on my 4M40 but it was on my list. It should help.

Yep. That's me... I guess since I got the gen3 I've been kinda quiet. Nothing to share in terms of mods. Love the gen3 but I haven't exactly been driving it much. Can't wait to get back in the thick of it! The guy who has my third gen1 is still a buddy of mine too, so we should have a pretty...

2003 XLS with rear AC. FWIW, my two furry friends like it a lot. ;)

Very nice! Great looking truck, and even better that you're out there using it! There are quite a few in the Calgary area now. I sold my last one to a guy in Edmonton who's moving down this way soon. There are also a few Deli's around as well. I currently have a Canadian market Montero, but my...

Well, after a year and a third, I thought it was time for an update. Worst "build thread" EVER. I know it. Anyways, the dealer ended up paying half the bill, for the improperly torqued bolt on the HB. I footed the rest plus rental, plane ticket, etc. When I got it back home, I realized that the...

Your information is not quite accurate. We actually have a 15 year rule. In 2006 I waited anxiously for May so I could import my first second gen Pajero. (Goes off the build year/month). In 2008 I counted down till I got my 1993 Paj with the bigger diesel. Nowadays, we can legally import...

Put new rear shocks on the gen3 today. KYB Gas Adjusts. Haven't tried them yet. But the RR one was leaking oil, and the rear felt like it was at sea, so it should be an improvement?

Don't forget the gen3's Adam, buddy. We're the future! LOL. Until we all get PHEV's anyways, LOL.

We are back online. Be patient with legacy content, but the forums are back up. You can get updates via facebook if you are on there. Here's the latest:

Got my rig back this weekend, but at the end of the 700km journey, the ABS, traction control and skid indicators came on. I tried pulling them with evoscan, but ABS faults weren't showing. Ditto for my obd iPhone hookup, and my handheld OBD scanner. I've read about grounding the first pin in the...

EGT is probably the most important thing to monitor on these small diesels. I found it like a distant early warning system for engine overheating. The 4m40 just continues to pull up long hills to its destruction if you let it. The EGT lets you know when to back off, turn off overdrive and cool...

Well a quick update: the valve train was impacted - no compression at all on one cylinder so valves are ordered, and then the heads are off to the machine shop. This is going to be very costly by the time its done. The dealer who originally did the service (in 2011) is communicating with me, so...

I have had my RTT (a Technitop model) on the roof for several trips now, and have found it very stable. I wouldn't worry about stationary loads as others have said, as long as your base is solid. I'm using cross-bars to connect to the factory rack, and find this more convenient than directly...

I was hoping to do an update, but this project is on hold - went on holidays last week, and the crank bolt came out of the engine on the highway. Put a damper on our trip, and cost me a lot so far in rentals etc, and I don't even have it back yet. I was far from home so the truck is still in a...

I lost a crank bolt last week (03 3.8). Lots of collateral damage when it came apart. I'd be very wary to drive it with a wobble till I sorted it out. Just MHO...
