whats the go with these things. Will the new lockers coming out fit them. Whats the pick of them say auto or manual? I think some r lear & other coil, drums or disks at the rear. Just thinking about one thats all. Maybe give it to the missus & take the 3.5 back heh heh

What wrong with the 3.5? You looking at trading up? Personally not a fan of the challengers. Paj is far more comfortable.

no, i gave her the 3.5 now I was looking at giving her a challenger and ME having the 3.5. I think I might sell the Patrol. Just changed it to a diesel to. It's just not a Pajero!

just out of interest, i saw on a search that the auto has the bigger running gear same as a 3.5 & that a locker will b available soon. Is this true?

3.5 fronts avail in June. 3.5 rear early next year. But you can get a factory 3.5 rear if you search hard enough.

crap that would be scary is a shorty!!!!!!!!!! I really don't know if i have the confidence to do that in a pajero cause i might f***k it. To tell you the truth, i think i'd enjoy a trip to cape york & simpson much more in the pajero than the patrol.

One capable truck, Ed spent $19K US on this conversion used all brand new parts.
D-44's front and rear, coils, 5.38's, twin ARB's and runs 36"s his last issue was t/case reduction but has just ordered a set of 2.85's to complete the jigsaw.
I personally don't mind Challengers especially the rear coil/disc models. The auto's do run the bigger 3.5 Paj running gear the 5sp runs the 3.0 Paj t/case and rear diff.
