YOOOOOOOO! I Have the 06, and my interior is EXACTLY like this. The last time I messaged you guys was a bit over a year ago. Wanting to rebuild one like your 85. Sudden divorce happened, and I had to buy my own house, etc. I couldn't do a project, so I purchased the 06 Pajero/Montero Limited. She has been the best! Now life is stable, I would LOVE to do a tour with you guys someday. If you ever make it to Iowa, here in the states, I would be a pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife! Big Fan, NEVER STOPPED! Much Love Sent To You Guys! Boone Iowa

Awesome truck and just get the job done 🤟 deffo like the idea of restoring an early model but boy you will get used to the comfort 🤣 Would love to travel the states some day! Thanks man that would be epic 👊

[@sheldonmurphy6031]

@@JKoverland Good Morning Sir & Ma'am! Yes that would be epic, and you are right; the comfort spoils you very fast. Lol Thank you for replying, and you guys stay blessed always! 😊

[@nevadastars]

Nice choice , and a glimpse of what’s to come , cool .

[@JKoverland]

Cheers 😀 pretty excited about this build 👍

[@jimedwards8958]

Look forward to the next one.

[@JKoverland]

Cheers to that 😀🤟

[@mikeattheimagebusiness6215]

I’ll be interested in your review if your new tyres in everyday use, particularly in the wet. Like many, I’ve tried lots of different A/T with 80/20% on/ off road through to 50/50%. Currently of Falken Wildpeak on my D4 (best yet IMHO) and BFG A/T on my (old style) Defender. As we live in Scotland we get a good amount of rain and some snow, so wet weather safety is top of my list, followed by off road ability and durability. Some (no names no Grabbers) have scared the 💩 out of me on finding standing water! Love to hear how you get on. Great looking Shogun BTW, interior looks excellent too.

[@shaunmccaw2911]

The wheels and tyres look sweet as 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks Shaun 🤟

[@VanandWaves]

Keep going 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@JKoverland]

Gotcha 😉🤟

[@NickDV007]

Nice one Jack. Definitely improves the look and should give slightly better stability. You won’t regret getting the all terrains one but. They are quieter, harder wearing and help a bit with fuel 👍

[@JKoverland]

Cheers Nick, yes indeed! I think it's going to work rather well for its intended use 😁👍

[@NickDV007]

@@JKoverland It most definitely will 👍

[@darrentwine2590]

This is an inspiration 👍

Cheers! 😁

[@rojitharanathunga]

Man.. you guys are so lucky to get one with a sunroof. I hope you checked for rust and blocked drain paths. wish we had a sunroof on our 4th gen Montero 🇱🇰♥️

[@JKoverland]

Oh really 😂 I had no idea! Anyway pleased you have it 🙌 didn't see any rust in or around the sunroof. 👍👍

[@chesterstorm1]

wheels look better bigger... but I believe if you shopped around would if been alot cheaper.... I only paid £550 for 5 maxxis muds fitted.... nxt a lift i take it.... lol at midland Springs and speak to Luke.... I've the 5+1on my Mitsubishi L200 with G shackles from Brute stratus and extended 2" pro comp shocks...new strut spacers Springs and shock on front.... now feels and rides alot better especially the rear with the G shackles... keep up the good work..👍

[@BrokeWrench]

I've never heard of that suspension here in the states. I believe my 97 montero sport has the same leaf spring suspension as the L200's. Can you link somewhere with info on that suspension?

[@JKoverland]

Haha well this project is intended to keep things sensible and offer the best returns in reliability for touring 😂 otherwise yes I agree bigger would look better. Suspension is already here so looking forward to setting that up! These are on coils so sounds like a different set up to yours 🤟

[@chesterstorm1]

join Mitsubishi L200 uk owners on fb pages

[@BrokeWrench]

@@JKoverland yeah, L200's and early montero sports have the same suspension as molly

[@AB-zg3tc]

Where did you get the steel wheels from and were they just a straight fit? Will normal all terrain tyres fit on them?

[@vaughanjackson2262]

Hope youve got some new wheel bearings lying around. That offset puts alot of pressure in bearings etc. +20 is all id go for personally. But does look the goods though 👍👍

[@JKoverland]

Seems to have been trouble free since so fingers crossed.

[@abdulkassam7530]

Amazing video, Hi mate, last time on your white Pajero you changed the shocks absorber , are you going to do it with this one as well.

[@JKoverland]

That's the plan 😉

[@MFRiley]

I have a Gen3 in that exact color (the best color😉). So jealous of how good those seats looks. My fronts are as hard as vinyl.

[@JKoverland]

It was certainly very comfortable 😃

[@STFSAFFER]

Love this 👍🏼👍🏼

[@atjross]

Really nice vid, I’m looking at changing the wheels tires on my L200… but have no idea where to start… can you recommend anywhere I can do reader hair/learn/understand?

[@JONBOYLEE666]

Hi! Ive got a mk3 just seeing if the rubbed prior to your lift?

[@JKoverland]

Maybe ever so slightly but not bad.

[@BrokeWrench]

I was looking for some steel wheels for my 97 montero sport here in the states. The hubs are 108mm (much smaller on your 3rd generation) I had trouble finding wheels that work. I did find some on the jegs website, listed as 107.95mm. They have 3.75, 4.5, 5 inch backspace models, but I dont know what would be best with 15x10" wheels I talked with a friend of mine and he is going to give me his old steel Toyota wheels. They are 106mm bore so I'll get them machined bigger. No idea what the backspacing is on them, but can't beat the price

[@JKoverland]

Yes nearly fell into that trap too but realised in time 😂 so got a set that were advertised with the smaller bore for the later mitsu's 👌

[@vmanvfx]

Hey nice setup, I just picked up a 2003 Pajero myself in France. Mind sharing where you bought the wheels from and what brand ?

[@JKoverland]

Cool! Great cars for this lifestyle 👌 wheels are a steel model from "Jimny bits" off of ebay 🙂

[@vmanvfx]

@@JKoverland ah great thanks for sharing ...best of this new build, looking forward to more videos. Cheers 😊✌️

[@JKoverland]

[@easyfame3]

Where’d you get those seats !!!! They look great ! My seats are falling apart 😭

[@JKoverland]

These were the original seats to the truck.

[@castleofelephants]

Do you have a link for the wheels? Tricky to get any with the correct centre bore! Cheers

[@JKoverland]

They are on ebay, message us if you can't find 👍

[@ajmtank191919]

I dont like your new tyres....i prefer the name bighorn on the side than worm-drive! 😂👍🏽 Nice vid cant wait to see where the tyres take you, thanks for all Your work and info

[@JKoverland]

Haha fair enough! We wanted to go with an All Terrain tyre for this project because it seemed better suited to its use 👍

[@gloom690]

Very cool! Don't have a lift and a bumper cut here yet?

[@francoishamman2649]

You sure about the negative 5 offset ? Negative on a Gen 3 doesn't sound correct

[@JKoverland]

Yes it's close to a 0 which would be centre but slightly pushed out ie -5

[@bddmedia]

​@JKoverland love them wheels, do you have a link to the ones you purchased. Thank you

[@Setchell1234]

Did they not balance them when they fitted the tyres? Cannot see any wheel weights?

[@JKoverland]

They did, can see it on the balence machine in the video 😉 weights are on the inside 👍

[@adv_duck]

Where did you get the centre caps from for the steel wheels

[@JKoverland]

I don't think there are Centre caps

[@OnCountryWithMick]

Personally Im not a fan of steel rims due to the additional weight but the black rim with the dark paint of the car does really look the part. Those tyres look pretty good too. Ive heard of Maxxis here but never the model of those ones. Do you have a lift in the vehicle yet?

[@JKoverland]

Please to hear that as we think it looks the part 😁 I know what you mean but it's an easy way to get some tough rims that look the part and more tire options 💪

[@JKoverland]

Lift coming soon 😉

[@OnCountryWithMick]

@@JKoverland Ive just painted the standard NM/NP Alloy rims so they look better. As for strength well I dont push my vehicle all that hard and definitely not to a point where I think I may cause damage to the rims.

[@TJ.Outdoor]

What's the model of the AC vent display, above the radio in dash 2:05min , 2:12min also

[@robertmac2713]

that is the new/ present shogun, standard display on the elegance 3.2 d

[@TJ.Outdoor]

@@robertmac2713 on mine 3.2 its slimmer monochrome display. Not like this 2din

[@JKoverland]

Sorry I have no understanding of the details on this subject 😂

[@robertmac2713]

@@JKoverland the other viewer was asking about the display on your shogun (dash display of air circulation) I think he has a different model shogun to ours, with smaller information area.

[@gearhead996.2]

that climate control thing is cool where can i get one .. had a gen3 for 20 years and now finding this channel

[@ardaoutdoors]

Looks sweet! Did it need a lift to fit that 265/75/16 Maxxis?

[@JKoverland]

It helped but not strictly needed 🙂

[@larcawi7360]

Did u also change suspension or just the tires? What size tire please. Thanks

[@promenteryrobbins]

Those wheels and tyres look great. When’s the next overlanding trip?

[@7SlothOCE]

whats the stock offset on this gen of pajero?

[@JKoverland]

Think it's like plus 30 😬

[@jakeworthington5708]

+46

[@stuarthall2180]

Not sure I understand why you changed the wheels ? Is it that the alloy one's aren't strong enough ?

[@JKoverland]

Being a 17" tyre choice and availability not so good plus I don't like how the originals are so tucked in.

[@stuarthall2180]

@@JKoverland Thanks, a valid point. I hope to build similar one day but with nowhere near the extreme off roading you put poor Molly through. Basically just a touring vehicle with odd easy off road. Would original wheels be up to the job if fitted with decent tyres ? Look forward to next instalment, take care guy's.

[@JKoverland]

That's the idea with this vehicle, primarily a tourer :) yes original wheels would be fine with a decent set of AT tyres 👍

[@EdsonLopes]

Will be a lift kit?

[@JKoverland]

Indeed! 😉

[@Tarkanbh]

Nice combo serious look now. Few questions if you don't mind: what was the original offset from the factory wheels?, i might have missed it but what is the tire dimension and did you had any rubbing issues on articulation? Finally how makes these steel wheels? Cheers and good luck.

[@vladimirangelov5183]

❤️❤️❤️

[@SebasHenderson]

Unbelievable, here in Costa Rica just to buy a decent Montero/Pajero same year and state as yours, it would be around £9971.40 JUST FOR THE CAR

[@JKoverland]

Wow! That is amazing the difference 😅

[@1996Dandy]

Which size are the tires? 265/70 r16?

[@DC_888]

I would have kept the alloy wheels & saved the 350 quid for something else as i'm not a fan of steel wheels

[@JKoverland]

[@luisalmeida777]

True that, but if they sell the set of alloys they might almost break even...
