245 70 R16 is 29.5 and thats all that can be fitted with 4" of total Lift? My oh my, now I understand why there are so few GV's on the trail. Luckily I have no plans to make this an offroad rig. Are there MT or AT tires that are 27" or 28" in diameter? Never seen one. Many thanks again. :)

Re: Pajero Solid axle swap and other modifications

After encountering problems during the Sta Ana race due to water ingestion, we decided to make more water resistant the distributor, ignition coil and the spark plugs. We also decided to relocated the air intake hose. here is the relocated air intake hose: http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh109 ...

Re: Transfer case input spline count

When I was about to buy my crawler gears from
Marks4wd i remember that both the 2.6L and the 3.0V6
use the same crawler gears with a ratio of 2.8:1 . The
3.5L Gas and the 2.8L TDI has a higher ratio of 3.5 IIRC.
I hope the info helps. :)

the importance of choosing your builder.

Re: 4WD Illumination Light Switch???

if you peek under your transfer case, there are 2

the other switch. tell me If you need a picture, I can

is there an asian or USA distributor? it normally

acceptable, considering that if what the brochure

When you do a SAS, you make sure that your coil springs are secured to the axle on one side and to the chassis on the other side to make sure that your down travel will be limited and ensure that your slip yoke won't come out from your differential . But if the rig will be abused in serious trailing ...
