2007 4WDOTY Pajero and Challenger/Triton/Delica Owners Thread

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Ok Mitsubishi owners, it's time to revolt!!

Tired of being down troden and frowed upon for driving the 3 pointed diamond?

Getting no respect from owners of so called other "iconic brands" that presume to be better than our rides?

Here's a thread to vent our spleens or just to talk shop for our "far superior" vehicles pros and cons.

So lets see how long we can keep this thread alive and on top.

Paj's rule!!
(in the Mitsubishi world at least!!!)

ANd they look great in Blue

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Knew u'd b here in a flash madpaj. U'd have a whole lot more time to put in on the "madpaj" now that u'd b on holidays.

Rockynl, i'm sure with the rate that u'r bolting on bits the Ed from 4wd monthly will be knocking on your door for a feature article soon.

83ladaniva: where are you and your old man goin fishing?

[BMS]

Quite a few years ago I had a 91 Triton Club cab and pulled out the 2.6
and fitted a VR Commy motor and 5 speed box into it,AWEsome !!

It didn't get an easy life especially off road and I never had anything
break and was running 32"s with a 2 ihch lift. THe only prob was finding a
clutch to handle the grunt. I guess that's one of the reasons I've ordered a 3.2 GLX-R
as the Ford/Masda Bravo I have hasn't impressed me much.

[83ladaniva]

42 mile S.A bud just bought a brand new 12' rod all i need now is a reel :D

[Whatsthatbeeping]

I've been told that the fish are big down there, you could always use the winch on the 4by instead!

[mrbishi]

Right on - go the three diamonds !

[83ladaniva]

Yeah mrbishi thats the way

whatsthatbeeping - im in the market for a nice winch btw :) and bigger wheels aswell as the little 4 cyl screams at 80ks anyone know what the best wheels i can get for it are?

[sudso]

I've been told that the fish are big down there, you could always use the winch on the 4by instead!
A bloke from Murray Bridge caught 3 big mully's this weekend near the 42, one was a 90lb'er!
And when the Missus and I stopped at the Shell roadhouse Kingston for lunch on Sunday a guy was weighing his catch on the scales there, 140cm mully and fat;) .

Yes its the time of year to be mully hunting at the Coorong. Dont quite need a winch though unless you hook up to an 8' ray

Problem is that when I'm out and about no-body seems too interested in taking pics of the "little old Paj"

great idea...


I want to be in this, and show nasty pictures of the family Paj in dangerous off-road situations....but...since the auto quit last time we did dat, I'll have to less show some extreme pictures sometime sooooon.....

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Does anyone else thinks that it sux that the issue 101 doesn't have a Paj included in the best 4WD of '06, and if you got the back issue from "05 there was'nt a paj in that line up either? Whats going on ED, Paj's not good enough for the test. And you can't say that there wasn't any new models that were released in that year, when the Prado, jeep, Nissan models were nothing but upgrades anyway. Come on 4wd Monthly give us Mitsubishi drivers a look in here.

Any one else agree?

[crankycruiser]

Hrmmm wat about triton drivers!!!???

i've gotta 2wd triton.. and my 4wd one is gunna turn up any day soon!!!

[Whatsthatbeeping]

no-body seems too interested in taking pics of the "little old Paj"

We Paj drivers just do things quietly, without any fuss, and still get to where everyone else is going. Nice articulation on the little shorty BTW mate

nah its a new one.. waiting for it to get here:(

[disco_nex]

Would be good to see some of these Mitsubishi products in the mag modified. Surely there is a hardcore modified Mitsu out there? Someone would of had a crack at it?

[Spimon_NH]

There's Bitamissin's SAS NH Paj (on Outers. Not sure if he's on this forum). One niiiiiiice, hardcore Jabber :D

Best Pajero moment was at Stockton. Entering via Lavis Lane (the steep way, if you go straight instead of turning where the sign says 'Beach Access') we came across a GU Patrol stuck and almost sliding off the edge of the track. Owner reluctantly accepted a tow (with a kinda 'oh well, if it'll shut you up' attitude), thinking it was useless. GOLD look on his face when the little Paj pulled the big GU out. That was one very happy customer :D

Go the Pajero's!!!

[Whatsthatbeeping]

nah its a new one.. waiting for it to get here:(

Filthy!!! An NP, cool!!! Come on, what colour? what spec? Rear dif lock? Oil burner or petrol? Are you keeping your cruiser? Can I have a drive:D Congrats matey, i've been looking at all the Mits dealers as i drive past for the last coupla weeks,waiting for them to be delivered to see what they looked like in the flesh. And they are a big improvement on the NM's (sorry NM owners, no offence)

Can't wait to get some real world reports about it from you.:D

I did look at the Paj's but i wanted a ute ;)

And OF COURSE IM KEEPIN THE CRUISER!!!!!!!!

Cant get rid of that!:eek:

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Lol, that's still cool matey! I do like the new shape, and the interior, it looks as if (it would feel as if it) has a lot of room inside. If you know what i mean?

[patroler]

Hey guys,
we have a 1999 duel cab, front locker, Ironman susp, 31 inch tyres.
Gave up on the bloody thing (mind you, it is not afraid to fly), gave it to the missus as her shopping trolley:D .
Went and bought the Mighty Patrol and have not looked back - Go on you know that you want one - Just give up on the Triple diamond, not worth
it :p Spoil yourselves and get that Patrol you have all been wanting, i won't say anything about jumping on the band wagon - it's ok.
:D :D :D :D
and yes i'm ducking to avoid the knives.

[crankycruiser]

Yer there is heaps of room inside..!

and they are nice to drive.. oiler goes really well.. definalty light years ahead of the old models

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Yup, O.K, I know. The old man has a '03 ST oil burner It's a nice rig and I like to drive it, and if i was the only person that had to drive I would maybe....maybe have one in the garage. but the missus has to drive it as well and she don't like the "truck like handling of the patrols" so the Paj won out.

Don't worry Mits fans, i'm not crossing over !!!

There has been some interest/talk of featuring my Challenger once I finish it :D Just priced up a steel bar, front locker and reduction gears today. Getting some custom sliders made up and custom rear wheel carrier too.

Apart from that just a few small things and she'll be ready to rock :D

Yeah i would have thought that 4wd monthly would like to see some more paj's in the mag too, but after sending in 2 letters, and 2 emails with pic's of my paj and getting no reply, i guess its not a toyota or nissan displaying TJM or ARB's catalogue. So still awaiting atleast a showing on the back page.

Have been around Aus in my shorty last year with my partner, seeing places like the W.A coat, kimberlys, Tanami, red centre, VIC High country, Fraser island and Cape York. Great little rig and tough as nails.

Here are some pic's, might have to upload them a couple of times, let me know what you reckon,

Forgot to add, my shorty in the pic's has been modded with pretty much every useful accessory there is for a paj, with the bigget mod so far being converting a 3.2 'Did' out of the new paj into it. Some may have already seen this on the pajero forum.

Yeah have done a bit of damage to them, not so much now with the 2 inch body lift and 33's, but managed to get a decent size stick jammed up between them and the L/H door sill 2 weeks ago up in the high country, put a real nasty ding in the door sill.

Reckon some rock sliders would be the go, but would meen taking the mudlap sections on the side of the gaurds off, which might look a bit weird?

Yup, thats maybe the worst thing about the NL design with the steps bulit in to the guard flairs.

Hey shorty... see anybits on the delica that you might like for your shorty?

does that look like a 2 foot body lift maybe?

Was seriously looking at a delica for about 6 months. Long wheel base, low roof,
(high roof wouldn't fit in the garage) Had 1 picked out and the Nl to look at one sat. I thought that i should ring RACQ to see what the insurance was like before hand and was flatly told, NO sorry will not insure delicas. Dang! so i got the NL instead (a bit cheaper that a 2000 model delica too!)

PS check the inclusion in the forum thread heading D hall

For Paj owners here is some gooood news
stolen from outers posted by Bitsamissin
3.5 Rear ARB Locker Update.
Well this project is comfirmed.
The tooling has been ordered and I've been told that they should be available to the public around April/May next year.
Interestingly the IRS centre is identical to the live axle axle version except for the axle spline/diameter.
IRS = 33 spline, 36mm diameter
Live axle = 31 spline, 33.5mm diameter
This means only the side gears will be different btween the IRS/live axle versions.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I for one, would never buy another Mitsubishi vehicle as long as my arse is pointing to the ground.

Sure my NP had issues - I expected it to have them - but the total lack of support from Mitsubishi Motors Australia has ensured that I will tell everyone who will listen that Mitsubishi (the company) are a bunch of arseholes.

And I voted with my wallet. The replacement will be a Disco 3. I pick it up next Friday. And that's 90 Grand that Mitsi didn't even get a sniff at.

For those who are interested, do not fit a winch to a Paj if you want to keep your warranty. If you have an NP, fit a safety device to the bonnet to prevent it from flying open when the standard catch fails. Do not fit any tyres that do not match those sizes specified in the owner's manual - unless you want to void your warranty on suspension components. And I have just found out that Mitsi have a zero use policy when it comes to bio diesel for the Paj, otherwise guess what? You'll void your warranty.

In short don't modify it at all and don't drive off-road and you'll be fine.

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Can't wait. Wonder what the pricing will be?
Thanks for the heads up timespast

[Whatsthatbeeping]

I think i can remember seeing your woes in the pajeroclub forum Away. Would that be right?

Sorry to hear about the total lack of respect that MMA has shown you and any other Mits owners in regards to the warrantys on the NP's. So much for the 10y/5y deal eh?

Always suspected that the NP's may have been a bit iffy, thats why i'm none to worried about my NL as i would assume that Mits Motors would have pretty much ironed out all the bugs by the end of the model.

PS> if I did have $60-$70k to spend on a new 4wd I don't think that I would be buying a NS either, Be going Prado or disco3 myself

Thanks Otis for the heads up matey.

Could you pass on my sentiments regarding the omission of Paj's from the "Best 4WD of the year" isuue as well. Seems a bit sad that the Mitsu missus out for this face off 2 years in a roll.

No wuckers. I agree, the Pajero's a a good thing, but the mag chooses the best six or eight fourbies that they believe at the time. I think the Paj would come just outside that lot at the moment, so that's why it's not included. Keep in mind, the mag takes a fairly strong 'off-road ability' stance, and while the Paj is no shrinking violet, You'd probably agree that the Disco's, cruisers / Prado's are more capable. Maybe they should change their selection criteria - whaddayareckon? Not my ballgame anymore!

[4wd26]

Based on the "fairly strong 'off-road ability' stance, why persist with the IFS cruiser when the live axel is still produced in the gxl and standard model 4.2 diesel trim. Just a thought based on off road abillity and not what the manufactures want to give you to test.
Rant over.....

Will have to see if the Pajero gets included next year as with a rear diff lock, as well as the "new big thing" traction control, would have to rank up there higher that the models mentioned for off road ability.

Cheers

Dont agree with a few of your comments in regards to the pajero itself ( we all have our own opinion), but have been reading your woe's with mitsibishi and can't believe some of the troubles you have been through with them, they certainly need to pull their head in big time.

Good luck with the Disco 3, hope you don't plan on getting it wet like the boy's did in the trip to the tip in issue 99, maybe they were just unlucky?

Hey pat, would love to see a paj in some of your tests, be great to see it mix it up with the toyo's and nissans etc. And while weve got you here, what you reckon about my shorty, is it worthy of a spot in your mag?

[myilux]

Would someone just put his picture in the mag, on the bottom left of page 901 in the next issue.

[nate]

i dont mind pajero's actually

[daveg]

well i cant say enough for the pajeros. i have an NM DiD and its great off road and on road. It will blow the doors of any Prado and has better fuel economy as well. I have lifted it 2" and have fitted ST coopers to it and it will go were most wont. The IS give it great grond clearance when lifted no diffs to smash into everything after its been lifted and would recommend one to anyone.

go the paj

Hey guys, great to see so many posts in such a short time. We're even getting people that don't own Mits posting picks and singing the praises of them!!!

Keep it up guys, we may yet get the recognition that we deserve!!

[Muddydigger]

Would be good to see some of these Mitsubishi products in the mag modified. Surely there is a hardcore modified Mitsu out there? Someone would of had a crack at it?


There was one done in Bundy real nice job too! It featured in one of the mags a year or so ago. Id be interested if any one here has a Delica and have they taken it off road, i dam near bought one but the handbreak siad it was a box on wheels so no go, but im still impresed by them are they any good off road?

Cant imagine one of the newer Delicas being hard-core modded, but a fella at work has one and is happy with the work it does on Stockton Beach and some light tracks. The older ones would be sweet to modify!

it runs 2" tough dog springs and 41mm bore shocks, 265,75,16 at tyres, underbonnet arb commpressor and 8ltr air tank.
pics show home made rear cargo system, rear swaybar quick disconnects and a few action shots.

[D Hall]

The 1994 to 1997 model delica`s are the best for off road work.The swb ones the pick.There is a palathera of goodies for them.Arb have since they first come out in 94 had lockers to fit front and rear.Any where up to a 8" lift is possible.Snorkel,iron man suspension kit,heavy duty bash plates,wheel arch flares and more.All ready most have two batterys as std.All have the battery tray to suit 2 batterys.There is already a space for the compressor for the lockers.The std air intake on the diesels is alredy half way to a snorkel as is draws air fom inside the drivers door.So they are as a std bus a reasonably well thought out 4wd.

Go the White and Silver NL's

[crankycruiser]

Yeah i would have thought that 4wd monthly would like to see some more paj's in the mag too, but after sending in 2 letters, and 2 emails with pic's of my paj and getting no reply, i guess its not a toyota or nissan displaying TJM or ARB's catalogue. So still awaiting atleast a showing on the back page.

Have been around Aus in my shorty last year with my partner, seeing places like the W.A coat, kimberlys, Tanami, red centre, VIC High country, Fraser island and Cape York. Great little rig and tough as nails.

Here are some pic's, might have to upload them a couple of times, let me know what you reckon,

Dont fell too bad.. im havin troubles gettin my 80 in there!:(

you'l have to save some of that money that your throwing into the beast for some leather seats (with the electric controls) and door trims.

[mitsi challange]

i own an 02 challanger and absolutely love the thing. will go where most others will go, and surprises a few hardcore patrols and landcruisers as well.

i agree with all concerned that there should be more of the mitsis in the mag. i have seen a few on the gold coast, and they look hot.

am trying to modify my challanger to be worthy of an inclusion in the mag, but it is a slow process. in the meantime, i am having fun showing up everyone else on the tracks.

[cookie monster]

Nice bit of air under the front wheels there too!

hows the quick release for the swaybars going?

actually it is my daughter in the pic and she was screaming that she was going to 'die' if i didnt get it down quick!
rear disconnects work well and give approx 50mm extra travel. a bit hard to re-fit though when everything covered in mud!

and i have to agree with RockyNL, that white and silver is the go

[BMS]

When I had my V6 Commy powered Triton I even went to the trouble of
biulding new upper wishbones to give me more downward wheel travel.
Not real legal, but I reckon they were stronger than the originals and
made a Big differance (offroad).
Took em out before I sold it though.

I like fondiling mine too, the roof rack that is. Like your rear draw system and your sway bar disconnect cookie monster, how long does your draw system take to get in and out? Made one up for mine for our trip round aus, works great but takes a bit of time to get in and out. You make up the sway bar disconnect yourself?

We are off to Coff's harbour/woolgoolga for crissy, hoping to hook up with kev (woolgoolga offroad) for a days four wheelin round coffs, check out some of his locals. Should be fun!

the main part of the drawer system is bolted(4) to a set of rails mounted to existing anchor points in the floor. once the bolts are removed then the main section can be slid out of the truck(usually onto a forklift as i havent got round to making a trolley yet). the side pods are bolted to the main section, as is the cargo barrier. all in all takes about an hour to remove everything and to bolt in the rear kids seats.
i made up the rear disconnects after a member on the outer limits forum gave me the info on how he made his. basically i made a new longer bolt, then turned up the removable section and milled a slot in it. then a couple of holes drilled through the removable section to take the R clips. you could do it easier if you had some 3mm plate folded into a U shape.
i also made them longer than std to suit the lift.

Hey Whatsthatbeeping, would be up for a day trip over the hols... but please let me take the Patrol, i couldn't bare to make the family squeeze back into the Triton.
1 positive with the Triton (it is a 2.8d) we get between 8.5 - 10 k/100k.
That is the only positive i will admit to in public also :D

[Whatsthatbeeping]

LOL, only if you prise of the Nissan badge, replace it with the Mitsu badge and stay at the back of thre convoy so that when you get stuck you don't hold us up!!!

Might have to take the Triton:o What if i got stuck somewhere and someone got a pic of a mitsu pulling out the Patrol hmmmm....
I didn't think of that... I would be laughed all the way back into a Lada.
Thats nearly as bad as being pulled out by a Cruiser:mad: :mad:

I did the same trip when i lived in melb back when i was a tacker and my uncle had a old mq patrol

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Love to take the wife kids down there for a holiday next year but they want to go and see the snow so i don't think that the roads would be very good then for 4Wding.

I spent many a weekend at Mansfield when i lived in Melbourne 10yrs ago and loved the place

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Where in melb rocky?
I was in Eltham, Templestow, Lygon St, Greensbourogh

[Rocky4.4]

I have seen a 4wd video from early 90's from some melb 4wd club that did it the snow. Full on :eek:

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Not a solo trip i guess!!

[Rocky4.4]

There was about 8 4wds and in one part down to there axles a nissan broke all left front wheel studs, Other trucks took one off each and installed them in a half a meter of snow to get him out.

[Rocky4.4]

Not worrie mate they look pretty ruff

[NL Shorty]

Yeah not sure how many tracks are open that time off year, most off the good ones would be shut. Sometimes can get lucky up there during spring/summer/autumn and get snow.
We were up there in april and found a fair bit up around craigs hut area. Got some pic's here somewhere, can't help myself now.

[Whatsthatbeeping]

Don't know the Orrico's in Eltham by any chance? Adercroft st

[Whatsthatbeeping]

No welder!! Was thinking maybe hose clamps.

The snow photos look awsome. I would love to take the family down. They haven't seen snow b4.

I don't know about the legalities on rod holders. See them every where though, Might post a general thread see if anyone knows ( also see whats on the outside from this tread!!!)

We get a bit ever now and then, Soon as it rains i'm out the door!

[patroler]

In QLD we can have the rod holders on when we are carrying rods. As soon as the rods come off, the holder has to be either taken off or undone and folded up so there is nothing sticking out past the bullbar.
I still havn't heard of anyone being pinged for it though. They have been on the Triton for about 3 years and i havn't moved them, or been told to move them.

I think the cops probably have better things to do, unless you get pinged for something else and p!ss the copper off.

water seals seam pritty good, havent had an issue with them.
the thing you have to look out for is if you get stuck in mud/water and have to reverse, then the water(if it is deep) will come through the rear cabin vents next to the rear light cluster. i filled up the cargo area with mud the other year going through the puddle that i posted pics of earlier(sequence of 5 thumbnail pics).
