Modified Mitsubishi Pajero NJ, Modified Episode 26

[@mountainconstructions]

I started watching this, having a bit of a laugh. But by the end, these lads have impressed me, they have learned what they needed to know and they are out there having the same experience as people whom spend $120K on Landcruiser Sahara for $8000. And learnt a ship load during the process. Good on them!

[@bennetjanz7307]

Hugh Jazz thanks a lot mate!

[@gimpTHEmaster]

Bennet Janz hahaha alter Verwalter, you guys did an awesome job, I've just come back from the Mojave desert(death valley), with a budget build Ford Explorer 4x4 (bed mod only) $1500 and have been inspired to conquer anything between me and the beauty of the natural world, I am a Carpenter and was considering Australia seriously, but I think it's a done deal, I'll be hopefully heading to Australia this year, buying a rig and emulating you! Top notch! Thanks for the post Ronny, can't stop poaching ideas from this channel, so many cool builds, you Germans keep up the stellar work, and Ronny same to you and keep the quality coming!

[@zjenji]

I couldn't agree more. Very funny yet enlightening.

[@MC-jf6ic]

Why are you having a laugh??? What was so funny?

[@brodypayne2671]

"custom fitted with a sock" lol. so good to see guys keeping it real. you dont need a 100k land cruiser to get out there. I bet these guys go further than most...

[@katrin3693]

Just been to The Cape and back 😎

[@1BrianFantana1]

Felix Hackenberg I've just watched this and I'm in the same boat, got a 4x4 and want to kit it out ready to tackle the trails, how and where did you learn to do all of this? Are you on Facebook?

[@whyohbee]

This is the way to do it, it's virtually a disposable 4wd!

[@carlmenzel8744]

But do they get home lol

[@TerryT007]

[@SolarBlackShine]

finally a Pajero! Love the budget look. Shows you can still go out without needing to spend thousands of dollars.

[@XandersJamesWayne]

Indeed

[@Brgnalf81]

Ha, it's not just a budget "look". It is budget :D

[@quintmister]

Must be THE BEST modified you've done so far. Really enjoyed what those guys have done and how they have done it. They were also entertaining and seemed like top blokes. I wish you both all the best for the rest of your time in Aussie. Thumbs up.

[@TheCommandodingo]

These guys knew their stuff. Definitely not the typical back packers I see around. Gr8 vid.

[@borderdegu7578]

The car still goes. I'm driving it around the country at the moment :)

[@XandersJamesWayne]

Love... they should post some actual footage of the vehicle... will be so great...

[@wafimokhtar1]

Really

[@clintgellekanao5793]

Videos like this means anything is possible in the 4x4 world. Thanks!

[@hillsshenanigan]

My heart goes out to them. As someone whose modified and lived in a 4wd overseas and had to leave it behind. They will be heart broken, you develop such a connection to it.

[@andrewfindlay1421]

There is something about budget builds that leaves you wanting more. It goes to show that you don't need to brake the bank. Hats off to these guys for their quick learning and handy work.

[@lewissilvio4740]

They had it all sorted . Living the dream

[@borathifive]

This is what 4wding is all about ! Notice they weren’t talking about torque figures, kilowatts, mud patterns, and power chips. Keep the dream alive lads !

[@143jkrd]

"Montero" here in the states. very overlooked but great vehicles.

[@ethanmiller1050]

Bravo to Bennett and Felix! I'm currently doing up my own budget build MQ Patrol. Huge respect to these guys for jumping into the deep end in a foreign country and chasing their dreams. Would love to catch up for a beer!

[@katrin3693]

Let us know where you are! Would love to hit the bush with a little mq! we just did Cape York and almost in Cairns now.

[@ethanmiller1050]

Felix Hackenberg Awesome, sounds unreal! All the way down in Melbourne aha

[@fordrac1ng81]

This was such a good episode. These guys look like they're having a blast on a budget.

[@katrin3693]

we are! budget could be less if it wouldn't break so much but hey

[@markbergman2342]

One of the better videos so far, no fancy new stuff but well/smart self-build pajero. Guys know there stuff and not to lazy to dig in themselves!!

[@FulgentFave]

My family has 3 of those Pajeros! ❤️ Bulletproof af

[@seanfrench1029]

Great project. I'm selling my '98 Pajero 2.8L TDI after 14 yrs. Had some technical issues but love it regardless. At 460k mileage now. I considered to re-build it but, time to move on. Good memories.

[@WoodsysWeb]

So happy to see this! my first was an NH Paj the same colour. totally agree on the vac system and super select... never ending issues with it. i would never have changed to the cruiser if I didn't roll the Paj earlier in the year. the petty paj goes so hard!

[@dirtydogg06]

Still the best budget build to date. This beast should be stuck in a museum!!

[@gaz8410]

Reckon this is your best Modified episode to date Ronny. Love their brand loyalty with Gumtree & ebay :)

[@michaelcallon9660]

Good video. I'm getting an old Pajero myself that I plan on modifying. So it's good to see others doing it too. Pajeros are very underrated.

[@Rift2891]

A Pajero at last! hell yea :) Now we just need a vid on a NM Pajero 3.2 DID :) Keep up the awesome vids Ronny!

[@XandersJamesWayne]

'99, 2.8 Turbo Diesel, Intercooler pls!!!...

[@Alienking01]

Best episode so far. Something different.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Agreed. These guys seem so genuine and motivated to enjoy life.

[@blaflaggin]

just got myself a challenger and this has given me plenty of ideas for cheap yet useful mods. thanks for the video!

[@outlawdingo3020]

I had a 96 3.5ltr 5spd petrol paj, no mods. always flogging the motor and never broke down. did 300,000km and was still going strong before I sold it

[@cruizzer77]

Awesome Ronny, thanks for the first budget build, these guys nailed it! I was a bit surprised that rust wasn't one of the things to look out for. No 4WD does not have a potential rust problem but over here (I'm Swiss) the Pajeros have a tendency to be the worst. When we went to Western Africa our mates' Pajero suffered a broken frame three times because it was rusted from the inside to an extent that wasn't visible from the outside...

[@katrin3693]

hey, my Pajero (in the Video) surprisingly has no rust at all even after taking it through lots of salt lakes and water. I've never seen a gen 2 Pajero (worked on lots of backpacker pajeros) with major rust, especially not on the frame. they seem to rust proof them really well over here! schöne grüße in die Schweiz ;)

[@N_ickoutwest]

Hey Ronny! sensational video mate, budget builds are something that should definetly be continued in the future, great to see some cars with good character and history!

[@brodiehope1091]

The mighty NJ Pajero! What a weapon!

[@TabVentures]

So cool. Holiday on a budget. I love how practical these guys are. they certainly know what they are doing. The trusty old PAJERO, so reliable off road.

[@diogoprontox]

The best episode so far. I love Pajero, mine is a 2.8L with diesel engine. I wish you both all the best, and when you come to the Europe, came to Portugal to say hello and drive a Pajero.

[@katrin3693]

we'll let you know! but you should come to oz first. it's amazing

[@MrSilverfish12]

these guys are seriously inspiring. About to sell my Mazda Demio. Was thinking about going after a 80's Landcruiser but they just cost soo much. But these 2nd gen Pajeros keep coming up and I'm really keen on them.

[@dclark6632]

Great work as always Ronny, I really enjoyed this episode and both Felix and Bennett have fantastic can do attitudes that show what you can accomplish with the right mindset and a little bit of cash. Cheers Darren.

[@hemireiri2080]

Best interview! These guys were so laid back u sure they're not Aussies 😀? Good luck lads, so jealous! More budget builds pls Ronny. 👍👍👍

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Hahaha. Spot on.

[@LTT.Official]

Man, Ronny I must say thank you mate for this video. Great stuff, these pajeros are dirt cheap where I'm from and I have always wondered if to go this route.

Great episode of modified. Could be the best one yet

[@olenilsen4660]

Offroading like a Boss! I love easy solutions that work, and adapt well to different shite. Cuz your shite is gonna change. A lot. Nice budget build!

[@aldridgesimeon]

Great rig! Function over form. Roll it over and still have fun and a lot of budget to get another one for cheap. Roll an expensive 4x4 and your done, most insurer wont sound nice when you need them. Long term offroading is about bashing a car while having fun anyway. Its about how skilled you are in bush fixing it, expensive cars arent always bulletproof in the bush.

[@chooseboost]

Good work to kitting it out cheaply and getting out there.

[@MovieMakerZT]

Sweet build and seem like some cool dudes!

[@southerntasclimbers7271]

Nice edit Ronny.! My mate rolled one of these back when we got our first 4X4s that was a life time ago 😁👍 Jim

[@masterbond9]

these are some good ideas, me and my stepdad are slowly rebuilding my 95 blazer i crashed about a month ago. (its my first car afterall and the damage was not as bad as it looked) I got super lucky finding it because everyone drives them until they die, i was able to find a non running 96 that had everything i needed and then some, but i can attest to the blazer's glory. they want to just keep going and if the A-frames on the parts truck werent so roached, it looks like the parts truck could run again. (its inspection expired in august of 2015) It sounds kinda fun overlanding in different countries, and there are a couple countries i would not mind visiting.

[@ElisPalace]

I travelled around Auz this year in my Hilux. I'm in Germany atm and back on Jan 3rd, this makes me want to buy another car when I'm back and do it again. Too many people in Europe

[@MrAirsoftmodz]

had a 3lt v6 shogun, make sure you check the top of the tank, pipes were rotten on ours, water collects here. under the floor carpet there is a hatch to access the fuel pump

[@katrin3693]

already had to change the fuel pump once. luckily before we put the cargo area/bed in because now the floor is covered with MDF. would be a big Job. filler & co seem to be in good nic though

I hate Pajeros but this was worth the watch! Awesome to see them here having fun!!

[@Bluuplanet]

I've heard a late '90s Toyota/Lexus 1UZ-FE V8 engine bolts right up to the mechanicals. Have to move the engine mounts though. Bigger engine. More power but better mileage.

[@GarminPro]

Haha these guys are a trip! Bring them along on a trip!

[@mountainconstructions]

Actually, that is a good idea.... Choose a vehicle from "Modded" each few months to tag only on a Trip with you guys, as a more long term test on their Modded or Budget build. And just to compare it to the benchmark 79 series rigs.

[@929cosmodude]

another budget 4x4 is the holden jackaroo /isuzu trooper/bighorn, similar to early paj's but bigger , roomier, bigger and stronger diffs, and even with the v6 better fuel economy, can be picked up for a steal too... got my 99 jack with brand new tires for $1500 on the road

great to see people having ago only thing I didnt like was the the diff breathers / gearbox in the airbox yes there's clean air but its also negative air pressure which would be a vacum in diffs /gearbox needs netral pressure or low pressure /1 or 2 psi
