I have nothing to do for the next 4 weeks and would be happy to drive it to you. You'd have to pay my expenses for the trip though.

Hell, it's something to do and proves that the truck is sound :)

J-Top parts

I'm keen to sell my little Jtop but I should replace a couple of parts first. I've broken the plastic tailgate handle and the glass from the driver side mirror has fallen out. Anyone got a clue as to where I could get these things? Nobody seems to wreck jtops... Shall post up an ad in the for-sale ...

Roll cage for a SWB Jtop

The way I'm going, I will kill myself in this thing unless I install some reinforcements. As money's a bit of an issue, I'll be starting with a pair of second hand bucket seats and some 4 point harnesses. They're cheap and shouldn't be too hard to fit. After that, I think I need to look at ...

Yesterday I picked up a set of 33"x12.5" Maxxis Buckshots. Second hand but plenty of treat left. Enough to get me started anyway. I spent yesterday arvo attempting the lift but got snagged on getting the two front bolts out. There appears to be no way of getting the bloody things out. I'm about to ...

Right, perhaps I'm doing my maths wrong. I have a set of Merit ATs on there. P245/70 R16 The spare (now on the front drivers side) is LT235/85/85 R16. It was on the back but I shifted it forward thinking it'd be slightly better there until I can get a new set. My logic was to take it off the axle ...

Noise in back at high speed

No, this is not related to the post just below :-) I'm hearing a noise that sounds like vibration/rumbling coming from the rear of my SWB Pajero J-Top '92. It only seems to happen at high speed (80k+) and comes and goes. Sometimes I can't make it do it but other times I can quite easily. It only ...

J-Top lift project

Right, so I've done a bit of research, asked some questions, beaten the shit out of my truck and worked out its capabilities. I've also pushed my 27" (oooo) ATs to the limit and burst one of them. Twas only then that I realised that the spare on the back was a 33". Needless to say, I'm not driving ...

Mate do you happen to know the dimentions of those bolts? I'm at work and am trying to chase up a set today so I can fix it tonight, put it in for a wheel alignment tomorrow and have it ready for a bashin' on the weekend!

Bolt for a J-Top

I'm chasing a bolt which has fallen out of my '92 J-Top. Where's the best place to go and get one? Mitsubishi doesn't seem to want to help me, so should I try something like NuBolt? Obviously I need a high tensile one, anything else I need to know? Also, does anyone happen to know the dimentions of ...

Snorkels

Need a snorkel for my J-top. Thinking about getting one of these:

It's either that or a more expensive Safari snorkel.

Are they alright? Any recommendations/advice?
TIA!

J-Top lift - what are my limits?

I just bought my first 4WD and want to rig it up to be able to tackle some rough terrain. It's a '92 Mitsubishi J-Top Pajero (2.5L Turbo Diesel). It's had its torsion bars twisted to give as much lift as possible but I hear this isn't such a good thing. I'd like to get a set of 'real' tyres to put ...
