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 raise one a couple of inches?

Pros and Cons??? Off road capability?

Any info or feedback would be great. Thanks guys.

the 99/2000 model was the best shortie they made. there is no diesel model unless u import one, but the 3.5 v6 is a better engine anyway. exelent performance. They seem to hold there value the best of the pajero's so u'll be looking around $17000 for a good one.
They have an exelent lsd in the rear still might be worth getting shimed up though. and the driveline is very strong. with a front locker and some 33's shuold be hard to stop offroad.

lift kits depending on were u buy them from can range from $900 $2000 depending onm what u get and how high u wanna go. but with ifs theres always a limit.
i don't own one but my cus does. so the other guys will tell u what to look out for.

If you find a decent one, PM me and ill buy it

I had a NL shorty for some time. I ended up doing a 2" suspension lift with lovells springs and rancho 9000 shocks. (cost me $400 from memory as shocks were second hand). I also did a 2" body lift to fit some 35" claws. As I had an auto, the gearing was rooted and decided to go back to 33's with no problems encountered ever. Sourced a factory rear diff lock and fitted a ARB front locker and the paj would climb most things I pointed it at. I loved the auto offroad and with the lockers it made harder stuff look easy. Always had plently of grunt and never had any major dramas with it at all. I only travelled 40000kms in it and sold it to a mate of mine who still drives it today. It gets around 400kms to 60L of juice.

Great car and its the second best shorty I have owned and built. (my new one being the best).

The spoken vehicle may be up for grabs soon if your interested....

Some pics for you. Not real good but this was back when a 1.3meg camera was the best....





Only difference now is that it has 16x8 alloys and 285/75 muds on it. Oh and off course outerlimits stickers.

Just a side note, what if anything did you need to do to the front to get the 35s to fit?
