Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Gday

I recently saw a SWB pajero GLS around the 2000 year model, and decided i want to sell the rocky and get one. I just have some questions for all you pajero owners.

What should i look out for when buying one?

What economy do the 3.6 V6 get? Is there a diesel model in the SWB?

How much to ...

Good looking setup, you have done well. Are you pleased with the Projecta Dual Battery Kit, 99 bux is a bargin. Did that include everything you need, all wiring etc etc? Jordan

hotfour0k, can you please post up some pics of the installation in your engine bay, would also be interested in having a look at your dual battery setup. Was it a custon job, or a kit? Cheers mate.

Gday i have an f78 rocky and i want to lift the front end to match my rear 2" lift. I heard you can just wind up the standard torsion bar, does any one know how much lift you can get out of doing this? Or what is the best way to go to get the front higher. Cheers

there is no daihatsu section anymore, this is it.

Shit, i thought i was on to a winner. So you really wouldnt reccomend it. What model rocky did you try it on. Do you think it could be different for other modles?

Disco snorkel? Which model? i didnt know they were compatable. Would all the piping to the airbox be the same?

Good stuff mate.
Do you know if the snorkels will fit a roza?

Dunno mate, i wish i knew. Its best to ring 4wd systems and ask them. I also got my bull bar from them and they are really helpful.

I do know that they fit both new and old shape rockys, they just said that for f78 rockys not to use ...

Well folks after about 6 months of trying to track down a supplier and even thought of getting an MQ snorkel and modifying it, 100`s of emails and phone callls, i found a company that make them. The brand is "airflow" and the you can get them for $295 on this web site: http://4wdsystems.com.au/ and ...

Gday, my rear diff is leaking oil from the seal of the backing plate. and i want to obviously fix it. My first questioin is: is ther a seal on the backing plate or is it just a silicone job. And secondly how much oil does the rear diff hold? cheers guys

Gday i am driving up to Darwin in a few weeks and i am thinking of installing cruise control on my f78TD. I was thinking of thje Command AP50, thats pretty much all there is that is reasonably priced. Here is a link of what it is..... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Cruise-Control-Kit-AP50-Universal-Fit-DIY ...

im with hot4ok, if you can get any factory made snorkle for a rocky get it. Im loking for one for an f78. let me know if you find one.

Thanks tabrocky, i was almost going to buy that one because of the price. But your right if you look at the 2 they differ. Big thanks, looks like the 500 dollar one or the rebuild option. Ill keep you guys posted. Cheers

Gday gents

Tabrocky thanks again for an incitful post. Its good to have a little knowledge on these things. So you think its not an f78 gearbox?? Are you 100% sure? Its a good price if it is.

Hot4ok, thanks for the find. It looks like i may have too go the 500 dollar one if the 300 dollar one is ...

yeah no oil never helps. What i was saying is that after a rebuild 70k kms ago it still shouldnt leak oil.

i would check yours though. Aparently the gearboxes are a weak point of the car. Ill keep you informend as to how much and how easy it is.

Tabrocky, thanks mate for the reply. Very helpful. What happened to yours? Did you just put in an exchange or get it rebuilt?

hot4ok, gday

It was leaking oil from what i thought was the rear main, beacuse it was really black like engine oil. But it must have been coming from the gearbox and ...

Gday all i just blew my gearbox in my F78. Any one know where i can find one? How hard they are to put in, how much to put in etc etc etc? Any help or info would be great. cheers

hot4ok can you give me alex`s email address so i can ask him about it?? PM if you want. thanks

Gday, does anyone know if a GQ patrol snorkle will fit on an F78 Rocky. I have heard they do with a few mods. Has anyone done this ? Any info will be great.

Its the same with all rocky parts, i have searched far ansd wide to find everything. I Brought the last bull bar in the country a few months back from 4wd systems. And it was sitting in the stock room scratched up and looking like shit. Tried finding a snorkel and had no luuck. We should have a ...

Gday, the rear main seal on my f78 turbo is leaking. Anyone changed one of these before or know how hard they are to do? Any advice would be great. cheers

Hows your rig running, is it blowing any smoke, if so what colour. How often is it serviced, what is your usage and driving style. AND what pressure are your tyres at???? You would not belive the difference in eceonomy and drivability that correct tyre pressures will gain.
Layto....

Yeah she is ...

yeah i dont know what is wrong. At 110 km/hr i am doing 3000rpm in 5th does that sound high?

I just got my f78 turbo diesel and i am getting 350kms to a full tank. Does that sound auot right? If not any one know why i am chewing through so much fuel? any help would be great? Also the rear main seal is leaking anyone changed one of those before and know how hard it is? thanks for your help

chev 28 i have checked all the rubbers and they all look good, ill try doing some bending. have you done this with some success?

Also what sort ecconomy do you get? because i filled up a few days ago and ran out of fuel this morning and only got 430 kms from 60l of hwy driving. does 3000rpm ...

Gday i just got my f78 rocky and the car is great but when i go faster than 90 its gets really loud with wind noise, sounds like it comes through the sun roof and the doors near where the miorrors are located. any one else get this problem or have any remedies for it?

thanks mate for the advise, the rocky arrives in a bout 5 days so ill give it a go. cheers

hot4ok thanks, you talk about winding up the torsion bar to get more height, is that easy to do? i havnt got my car yet its on a truck and she arrives in a week. is it something you just tighten to get more height? Is it as simple as that. cheers

Gday, i wanna get new tyres for my f78 but i dont know how big i can gon on near stock height. back has been lifted 40mm thats it i think. what is the biggest i can go? i was thinking about 30"?? I looked at the previous threads but could only find infor on ferozas. cheers
