Thanks for putting Elgrand out there... it would be amazing to know more about what bolts on across from proper 4x4s. And you gents didn't even show the interior amenities or accessories. So I very much look forward to a follow-up :)

More and more Japanese import are coming to OZ since collapse of OZ car manufacturing. Vehicle sold in Japan are more luxury and comfortable. No wonder Jason went for that model! But I prefer old vehicle without electronics as I feel they are more complicated and more wiring makes engine room look messy and confusing. Because I am snob, so I go for classic land rover!

I did this upgrade, it's great to have good clearance now, but Did you find that suspension now is stiff and has very little to no room of travel, so as in you go over a speed hump the thumb sounds vibrate up into the dashboard. Was that your experience?

#Seriously series Sorry I might have missed this point. Did Jason (or his suppliers)convert a 2wd to 4wd? I have an E51 2002 build with only 135000km. Have bought a Rodeo 3l turbo diesel and enjoying the ute features. It has relatively fixed fibreglass canopy with roof racks braced to floor, which I was thinking to change to a steel or aluminium canopy with kitchen fitouut and bed on top. But I have seen very nice Van fitouts in Elgrand- and it is hard to part with the Elgrand- on account of its superb comfort and 7 seater versatility (including an electric turnout seat that is great for helping people with limited mobility get in and out with dignity. Thinking to keep the Elgrand in the family. One son has a penchant for crossing creeks etc, but like Jason, I am more interested in being conservative and 50mm lift is plenty of clearance if you aren't hopping rocks or driving through mud. I drove LandCruiser ute a lot in Sahara and rarely used 4wd mode as keeping speed up is mostly effective, with 4wd in reserve.

Nice van you have there Jase. I have a Pajero, mine’s white over silver, and I’ve been thinking of going to an awd van, similar to this, so I could have more “living on the road” room. How would the kilometers per gallon compare to a 4cyl turbo diesel Pajero, considering the Pajero is a fairly heavy vehicle also? Cheers.
@seriouslyseriesaustralia5 жыл бұрын
Living on the road is a nice way to go. Occurring to Jason the Elgrand gets around 15 liters per 100km so I would say you would probably get better overall fuel economy in your Pajero. Thanks for the comment, cheers Geoff
