Hey Benny, I’ve been 4wheel driving in Australia for nearly 30 years, in all weather situations and from tassie west coast to vic high country and up to cape York and everywhere in between and I would say with decent tyres you should never really have to worry to much about getting a puncture let alone needing to carry 2 spares you might consider carrying a tyre plug kit instead if you’re worried. A front winch with plasma rope not steel cable will save on weight and easier to handle. Make sure you have or make/fit some decent recovery points on the front and rear. I find some type of rear drawer setup is very handy as long as it’s lightweight. Recovery boards/ maxtrax are handy. Rock sliders/ strong side steps are great if they are solid enough to stop panel damage from ruts/tree stumps when rubbing past them. Diff locks or good lsd diffs make a huge difference especially on cars that don’t have much suspension travel, so when you lift a wheel at least the other one will still drive. If it doesn’t have diff or gearbox breathers that vent up high , fit some. If you get into deep water / mud playing consider a snorkel beforehand.

It's always nice to have all of them fancy tools, you might not "need" them but for someone who does the job everyday it makes life so much easier than having to get creative with limited tools.

that silly little thing is so cute. it looks like a Lada Niva and a Pajero had a one night stand

[@steino101]

Obviously there will need to be a joint trip with those two guys from the "best 4wd channel on KZbin" !!!

I would suggest doing a solar panel on the roof to help charge main battery and or auxiliary battery, especially if you are going to run a fridge.

Just bought a 97 Pajero Junior, this video definitely will guide me on preventive maintenance. Looking forward to your build.

Those wheels look great! Certainly adds to the unique style of a Pajero Mini

[@millsi1978]

Particularly enjoyed the music and commentary in this episode. 👍🏻 👌🏻

[@danielminchev6031]

Go go tiny 4WD. I'm super happy that you decided to go for a 4WD project :)

Needs to do a bush trip with a Jimny and a Kei Tip Truck.😀

Really keen on the Pajero and I've only learnt they did a mini one after seeing yours here. From experience I always find changing fluids, giving it a service etc is a great way to look around your new old car. I recently picked up a UK2000 Impreza as a light project and getting stuck in doing the above has made me more confident working on the car after years of Fords!

[@powermadrooster]

I have wanted one of these since playing Gran Turismo 2. Good Job 5/7!

[@MCP_auto]

Love the mini Pajero mate I got to see it at C&C and it was very cool. Also really enjoy these videos where you just buy a car and show what your process is in doing a full service and inspection. Keen to see more of it 👍🏻

[@samoneill8685]

Great little rig Benny. You might be able to utilise an ATV with with dyneema rope with the Paj being so light.

[@josuheserrano2285]

Hey man, love that you are working on this, I own a 1995 VR2 myself. Can you provide a list of all the fluids required for the diffs, transfer case, spark plugs, etc?

[@D_2_M]

Good to see someone made video about Pajero Mini.

[@ftovr2957]

Thought those Galant wheels looked familiar! New ones suit though. Funnily enough, I remember coming across a forum post from a guy with a Pajero IO (don't know the ins-and-outs, but it looks identical!) who used 16" FTO wheels on his. Never been much of a 4x4 guy, but this little thing looks like a lot of fun.

[@fauxtool952]

[@Stormb1azer]

"Clear prop" 🤣

[@grad0n]
