This is what the pajero looked liked when we brought it.
This is what our 1986 4x4 pajero looked like when we brought it | This is the side view. We put a 2inch lift kit and extra leaf in the suspension | |
We called it the Dinosaur  | And added golden balls to it |
Firstly we took the last 2 seats out of the back to give us more room
Now we will show you photo's of all the work that went into getting the pajero the way we want it.
The storage
In the back of the pajero we made a slide for the fridge and 2 slide out draws. The table is attached to the back door. When u need the table it fits under 2 lugs near the fridge and draws over the bumper. There is plenty of spare room at the back for extra clothes, beading and so on.

The Water Tank
There is a tap for drinking water, it runs of a 12 volt pump. There is a 45 litre's stainless steal tank behind the back seat and there is a filler and filter on the left hand side back up high.
 This is where the tank is going | Testing the pump on the water tank | |
 The water tank is made | The tank has 3 compartments and holds 45 litres | |

LIGHTS
There are 4 spot lights on the front,a working light on the side and back and there are 2 led lights on the left side.
4 spot lights. 2 on bumper and 2 on roof rack | Side work light |
 Back work light | 2 l e d side lights on the left side. For late camp nights |
CENTRE CONSOLE
The centre console was made to take switches for spot lights,work lights,fridges front and back,water pump and extra plugs for games charges for phone and camera.
The centre drink fridge and all switches and 12v sockets | The 12v sockets. There are 4 of them |
The WINCH
We brought for $530.00. It's a champion I had seen it on display and it was underwater for 3 months. It was green and slime was all over it and it was still working. So that is why we brought it. The winch is 9,500 pound with cable and remote controller. I did fix it myself (david) by using a 200 pvc between the front chassis rails and I modified the front bumper bar. It works well.

The DUEL BATTERY'S
The system we brought for $150.00 from gumtree. It is 150amp very good system to run the winch,lights etc and a good back up if we get a main flat battery.

The SNORKEL
Made the snorkel out of 90mm pvc pipe and fittings with a reducer from 90mm to 50mm and mounted a flex hose to the air cleaner and then painted black. This will help get cleaner air and maybe stop water getting into the carby. It cost about $60.00 in total.

The Bra
We got a bargain with the bra. We got it made by a canvas business in Morley, Perth, it cost $50.00. It is kept in place by velcro on the top and the bottom. Each section comes down and then velcro's in place. To pack it up you just roll it all up together and then velcro it on the bull bar where it stays.

The ROOF TOP
We brought the rack for $200.00, but it wasn't complete so we had to make support mounts for the gutter. The roof top tent was brought for $800.00 from the quokka and made the frame to suit it. When we put the 2 foot racks we had to make them the same height so we could fit the awing on the roof rack. we mounted a spare tyre using a pajero spare tyre mount off the back door. 2 tool boxes where mounted. the large one is for recovery gear and chain saw. the smaller one for spare parts. We mounted a long handle shovel and sand dune flags fitted by using pvc pipe. There is a small ladder for climbing and we fit it inside each doorway, there is a camp table and a fly screen room for the awning.

The MECHANICS
We took out the open diff and tail shaft. We put in a LSD, which will give us better traction with both wheels working at the same time under load. As the tail shaft has to be shorten because the Lsd diff is bigger than the original one by about 65mm
Taking the diff out | The old diff is out |
The 4x4 with no diff | The new diff painted |
NEW ENGINE
We swapped the new engine for the old engine because the timing chain was gone in the old engine. Both engines are 2.6lt
Just took the engine out | The engine is out |
2 engines Side by side | The new engine |
AND THAT IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT OF OUR DINOSUAR.
JOB WELL DONE DAVE, WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU.
