Expedition Pajero LWB

[JamesW]

Hi guys,

I'm not a member of the UK club, because I got banned! Yes banned from having an opinion, that someone else didn't like and reported me, so I thought I'd come across to a proper forum.

I've seen that happen once or twice over there alright

How much work was it to fit the defender coils into your pajero? Did they just go straight in or was there a bit of tweaking in order to get the springs in? I've the HD LWB ones in mine at the minute,but wouldn't mind a little bit more lift. I'm also looking forwards to more pics

Saw this in buckfastleigh yesterday looks spot on like how you have done it and a little different

Yes we took it down to devon, for a few days away over Christmas season, and went on the south devon railway. Thanks for that, glad you like it. I'm going to a few uk 4x4 shows this year, so you may see it there. Donnington 4x4 show is the first.

When the spring seats on the upper body it's tight. Very tight. I had to get some bounce on the car to get them to seat and basically grip the coil ring. But take the rubber spacer out. On the axle you will need some land rover style spring retainers, sit them beneath the spring plate that it sits on and the axle and over the first coil of the spring and sandwich them both together with 13mm bolts that are rated to the highest breaking strain you can find. You don't want them breaking on the trail.

The spring retainers I had made were from 3mm stainless.

A Hi-Lo on a Fuso diesel 4x4 crew-cab chassis would be the schniz...

I just wish I could get that transmission and overdrive sent to Canada! So how exactly was the overdrive mounted! That's what's intriguing me
