So got stuck in some very muddy ruts in my recently bought Pajero (2.8TD Jap Import), bought it just for offroading.

Was not happy about this biggrin Had to be pulled out by the mrs in her Discovery frown

Decided this was not acceptable.

Tyres have now gone from this:



To this:



Car used to look like this:



Now looks like this biggrin



The front wheels *just* turn lol biggrin Biggest ones I could possibly fit on, wheels themselves are 1 inch bigger and the tyres are much bigger. The tread is awesome they are proper mud tyres. Wont be getting stuck so easily next time.

Next mods:

Take out the aircon (mud gets trapped between this and the rad causing overheat)
Snorkel
Winch

Its already got gaurds on the front for the stearing etc.

Thats it so far. I

Looks good. Perhaps removing the side steps would help with clearance?

It has selectable RWD so given the right conditions and correct application of the right foot.....

Has it got non-standard bumpers or something?

Just looks a little out of proportion for some reason?

Check my profile, I already have a discovery biggrin

This is better in my oppinion. Disco will be for sale soon. They just rust to easily and random things are always breaking. Had to go back to jap.

Just removed the side sills and mud guards for more ground clearence. Looking much better now smile
