Got me a new truck!!

[hastings]

;D Evening all,

Car was sold yesterday, it will be sorely missed . Practically gave it away too.
But I got me a Pajero exceed 2.8 superselect today on a L with about 95k on her got a smashing price on her to. And she's not a bad looking old thing if I do say. Couple of wounds,nothing that cant be sorted out with a day or two playing it.
Minor dent in drivers door, almost unoticable but I know its there.
Ariel n/w all the time on cd player
'Key' scratch on passenger door approx 6/8 inch's long.

Stacks of old papers. Dreaded fuel pump seal already done, new brakes and serviced a few months ago.Happy days.
I'll give it a good service,drive chain,lube change,grease up and waxoil for good measure.
Time to go shop and play!!!

[mark]

If u need any help I've got a swb 2.5 and some mates got lwbs and 2.8s so we,ve learnt majority o problems with them get ur parts rom milnerofroad.com they are the best and cheapest just changed my balance belt and cam belt wasn't too bad id suggest u do that straight away cos the balance belt wipes out cam belt and its a sorry story!

Hi,

I intend on getting the belts done asap, just so I know there done. Im going to get some oil and filter tomorrow and do a quick change also, Before I collect a list of parts to complete a major service including all axles oils etc. The guy I bought it from was fairly on it he told me told but theres no service history to back it up,though most fluids eg brake fluid atf fluid is clean.
I'm after a set of larger sized wheels and tires to give it a little extra, I belive 15's are used often? Cant find any for love or money though?
I will get over to the site now for a look.

Thanks very much

they are the type.
most people go for a 33"/12.50/15 tyre, the khumo kl71 are popular and quite cheap.

also if im right in thinking, the frontera rims may have the same fitment, and also stick out more.

also, i met a few members of the pajero owners club while i was camping at strata florida, was on the same tour as them!

they are really nice guys too

U want j 10 rims which r 15's fit a 2 inch bodylift and 33's it straight on pm me and I'll give u my no just ound a little specialist breaker whjich is a mate of a mate

Hi and thanks guys,
I am thinking that j10 wheels with a 2" lift and 33's are a perfect balance.
Did't get time to do the oil change, came out of work and the battery was dead------damn it! So it was a jump start off a lad at work, thankfully he had some leads lol, ;D flew into Halfrauds picked up two batterys,(thought bugger it i'll do the pair) good job I had my trade card with me also! Fitted it just now but only one was needed as the 2nd didnt fit anyway, so return that one tomorrow and get some service bits with the refund woohoo!! More toys. What engine oil grades are you guys and gal, running in yours??
