I accept they are more expensive than the basic (and when I say basic I mean in price and quality) of the generic stuff on the market. In the time I’ve owned these I’ve had zero faults, prior I had 3 ‘basic’ ones fail. In the time I’ve owned these I know my caravaning friends have had many failures (all the ‘basic’ type). Based on my experience the price of these totally outweigh the risk you run by adopting the ‘basic’ systems that appear to often fail. You get what you pay for and I’ve paid for quality and reliability, which is a winner for me. Thanks for your reply by the way.

Thank you, after all this time I still haven’t ‘secured’ the cables, and I have long ring clamps in the shed, I’ll give it go and see how they look. Peace, and thank you for the reply.

Hi @dayrcrayr , thanks for your feedback, appreciated 👍. You are heading down the same path as us , the NX is a great truck, my fav 4WD wagon, but, the ‘weights’ made it difficult for us to continue with the NX. We have a 2100kg caravan and it left us with no ‘spare weight’. So the NX was replaced with BT-50 with Lovells GVM-GCM (I have a walkthrough video coming up on our BT-50 build). The suspension upgrade and air bags on the NX gave me nothing ‘official’ other than peace of mind it was capable. Good luck with your build- we loved the NX . Peace ‘The Seagull’

Glad I could help 😜

Hey I’m not sure. It was our first Pajero NX, I’ve read that earlier Pajeros had ‘troublesome’ DPFs, but by the time NX arribed most problems were ironed out. Your question might be answered on one of the many Paj forums. Peace

Cheers buddy. I know for sure that the NW didn't have a DPF and from what I'm reading the early NX didn't have either (2016) but even in all the forums I can't find a definitive answer. To be safe, I'd better buy a NW😂

Hey how are you, thanks for watching. The 40x40x is 740mm long (I think I originally bought a 1mtr length and trimmed it to get it over the top of the tyre). It’s aluminium to save weight. I’ve since had to change the camera, because it’s install as it is it was very easy to swap in the new camera. Peace and enjoy.

Glad it helped! Other videos didn't give a proper demo , peace :-)

G'day mate, I hope you enjoy our Pajero videos :-) Enjoy

Hey, thanks for the question and watching. You ar correct, We did have to update the Projecta display as the amp hours had increased, this was easy to do via the LCD on-screen settings option.

hey mate, thanks for the question. I'm not sure if the Rhino-Rack bolts were the same as the Bush Company ones (it was a while ago now and the awning is now on my BT-50 Fleet Trade rack). I had to watch the video and at about 4m30s mark you can see the bolts are tightened and are slightly popping up above the nuts, so, I'd say they were close to the same (I'm assuming your question relates to bolt length). Nut/bolt selection is probably dictated by what you are attaching it to, my Rhino-Rack used the slot bolts whereas my current Fleet-Trade rack I had to buy new nut/bolts. Not the best answer, sorry, but I hope it helps. peace, and thank you for watching.

@seagullsontherun Thanks for responding, I appreciate it. I was actually referring to the girth if the bolt. Bushcompany sent huge bolts and I wasn't sure if the Rhino-Rack bolts I already have where going to be heavy duty enough. Have a great day

Hey bud, to me the Rhino bolts were just fine, nylock type bolts which are super reliable, and Rhino are well respected so their gear is quality.

love that idea, thank you. I might have to brush up on my silicon skills to make sure I get nice neat lines, silicone can look a bloody mess if a hack job :-) Thanks buddy

umm, that's a tough one, we didn't have that problem. The wheel lift was primarily to lift the spare over the drawbar of our camper trailer (bottom of spare wheel hit the handbrake and we could open the door fully). When we lifted the spare wheel we only had to remove the top part of the wheel cover, and to trim a small amount of plastic trim, as shown in the vid. We hope you find a solution to your challenge, and if you do put it on UA-cam because we bet other Paj owners have the same challenge you have :-) Peace and thanks for the comment.

@@seagullsontherun i find my way. I try to fit up a little bit but the problem is the same: the two steel hinge touch the wheel. Finally i put only 1 bar on the wheel and so, close the pannel became little bit easily...sorry for my italian english)

Thanks to you, and, it is a bloody excellent piece of kit, one of our best 4WD purchases.

Nice one 😜

Esas subidas de nivel aceite son porque se corta la regeneración....si se hace la regeneración completa no tiene por qué devolver el gasoil al carter. ¿Eso es así? o siempre pasa porque el motor está mal diseñado para un sistema con FAP?

I wouldn’t expect rust on this NX, it was way too new 😝, I’d be going back to Mits with my 10yr warranty for sure if I saw rust there. 😛

@@seagullsontherun different country, different car state. in the UK even the 2016 Shoguns have rust everywhere

Hey, 👋 thanks for your feedback, appreciated 👍

No problems, we should thank you for watching 👍 peace

You’re welcome 😊

Hi, PSI on the BT-50 is 37 all round. After the GVM/GCM upgrade the tyres were upgraded to ‘truck’ tyres and their PSI is lower than ‘car’… that’s what I was told and that’s what is on the tyre pressure plate. Peace.

Hey Don, glad you noticed 😆. The Paj was my pride and joy, plenty of time/cash splashed on it, however, we are preparing to travel forever and the ‘weights’ were too close to max with our caravan, so an upgrade was needed so we didn’t drive ‘illegally’ , BT-50 incs full GCM/GVM upgrade so are well within our limits. Peace ✌️ Thanks you your question.

Hi, Thanks for the question and we are real happy to provide feedback. Our set up was as follows:- A 40mm lift kit plus heavy duty air bags. This consists of front and rear Bilstein shocks. Front and rear Terrain Tamer springs to suit bullbar & winch on the front. And a 300kg spring rate for the rear. Heavy duty Firestone airags and a wheel alignment. Yokohama AT tyres The car did plenty of 4WD in Vic High Country without any issues, plus a 4wk trip through Flinders Ranges (on and off road towing an off-road caravan) and through all of this we had zero issues at all, the whole thing worked perfectly, not a single hiccup, so, I’d say that was evidence enough the choice was a good one. I hope this helps, and we wish you many truely amazing adventures. Peace ✌️

Thanks 🙏🏻, I found some of the others were not very clear (and missed out important info), so I made this. Peace and enjoy 😊

Sorry but I believe you are wrong. Constantly towing an off road caravan with larger tow hitch means no access to the boot as the tyre hits hitch and cannot open fully, spending a SMALL amount of cash now allows us to fully open the boot even with caravan attached. In my mind, and probably in the minds of many others in the same predicament, it is money and time well spent. Thank you for watching and commenting. Peace

Without this mod you couldn’t change a flat tyre with the trailer attached!

That’s a very interesting statement. I hadn’t thought about the ability to remove that piece of trim and fit a larger tyre, was it planned? Was it fluke? Was it just the easiest way manufacture the whole cover? I’ll side with Mits being ‘thinkers’ and the whole thing was designed on purpose 😂 Here’s one for you, why don’t Mits devolve an ‘insert’ that can lift the top cover so it can be retained if you add larger tyres, now that would be genius I think

Hey hey hey, thanks for your feedback and question. The covers are the SUPERTRIM neoprene seat covers. We loved them that much we bought them for our BT50.

BT-50 Mazda Supertrim Seat Covers ua-cam.com/video/rhT8Ys3Svlc/v-deo.html This is a short video on the BT50 Supertrim install.

No worries - it's easy when you know hey ... some of the other videos out there are a bit vague - Enjoy all that extra time you have now - haha :-)

That's a bugger ! I've never taken the spare wheel cover completely off so I'm unfamiliar with that problem - I would normally say id have a look at mine but sadly i've sold my Paj so cannot ... sorry :-(

@@seagullsontherun Thank you, I manged to line up with difficulties

Phew 😅 glad to hear that all is good now … peace , and enjoy your Paj

Thanks there, That’s a tough one. The roof rack and bar are from here in Aus: roof rack is Rhino-Rack ( www.rhinorack.com/en-au/products ) and the bar from MCC Dandenong ( www.mccdandenong.com.au/ ). I’ve just checked and no mention of uk based suppliers 😞 ARB over here have a great bar for the Paj, I notice ARB have a presence in UK ( www.arb4x4uk.co.uk/vehicles ) might be worth getting in contact with them.

@@seagullsontherun Thanks a lot, that's really helpful. Thanks for looking into it

Hi, good question and one that would need to be directed to BOS I feel, and possibly the caravan manufacturer . There is nothing on BOS videos that would suggest chassis issues, and I currently have our caravan ‘levelled’ using the BOS legs and it all appears ‘OK’ … but is there potential for chassis ‘twisting’ ??? I don’t know !!!

Cheers mate, if you have one of these, or thinking about it I can honestly say it’s the best ‘major’ purchase I’ve made. I’ve had years of the roll out version which worked just fine, but the 270 is a gazillion times better and well worth the $. I’ve since change car and it now sits on my BT-50 canopy and is just as rad’. Peace

Brilliant! Going to buy one for my troopy shortly 👍🏻

Hey John, the two new batteries were connected in parallel , maintaining 12v providing 240Ah (120 each), then we used the caravans existing red/black cables from the Projector PM300 and connected to the +/- of one of the new lithium. Hope this helps.

Hey, thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I have sold the car so cannot get a measurement for you, however, i know it was full length of Pajero NX roof (possibly 2.1mtrs!). Noise: I had no wind or creaking noise issues at all. I installed it myself (a tricky job as entire roof lining has to come out and there are airbags up there - I suggest you get it installed by others to save you the headache)

Hey Paul, thanks for your comment. We cannot say these are the best neoprene seat covers out there because we haven’t used any other brand, but we can say they are bloody great quality, fit really well, wash perfectly and come out like new, and ,Supertrim are a good business to deal with, so our opinion is that they are a fantastic product and haven’t let us down . We also had a set in our previous Pajero and they were spot on.

Thanks KP, I'd say it's nearly to PP's standard ... well almost nearly ... nearly almost nearly ... haha :-)

The only thing ‘chickeny’ in that canopy would be eggs in the fridge 😂

hey, our my case we did not remove the original studs that supported the spare wheel, the lift-kit required them to remain in place to attach to - if you do not have them I cannot understand why they were removed.

No worries!

No worries, hope it helped as some of the other videos did t really give correct info’. Peace ✌️

Hello, Would that be the new version of the scan gauge? I used Ultra Gauge because at the time it was used by MM4x4 to demonstrate the ‘goodness’ of the torque converter, so I bought the torque converter and gauge at the same time as there was a track record of their compatibility. How’s move on and improve, which is great for your 4WD hobby. Peace ✌️

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks for the tip mate. Thankfully we have no concerns because our roof rack was only installed for the 270 and MaxxTrax, nothing else goes up there’. According to the RhinoRack calc table a 28kg Bush Company 270XT and 25kg MaxxTrax/ Kaon brackets we are OK. Peace.

Hey there, thanks for feedback, much appreciated. It was a simple EBay purchase, I cannot recall from which provider. The plate was good quality, I did buy a ‘dearer one’ and didn’t opt for the cheapest. It’s a good thing to do if you tow often like we do. Peace ✌️

Enjoy your fit-out of the Paj. I installed about 80% of all my mods, that way I knew how it all 'worked', so if there were any issues down the line I could resolve them. Unfortunately, we have had to sell our Paj as we are moving to a larger caravan and needed more tow capacity which the Paj couldn't provide - sad - it was a very very very well appointed car and I'd spent a LOT of money on it.

Our Pajero does a re-gen on it's own approx every 500klm , we are unable to do a forced re-gen - I believe only a mechanic can force a re-gen. Sorry I could help you with this one. Peace.

do ns pajero have active burn or passive would you know by any change

Hey, Toughie for us to answer because they only go on when we tow the caravan, and at that point economy is 'through the roof' ( actually, around 17L/100 avg ). Secretly we hope they improve economy by forcing the wind/air over the caravan ... we live in hope. haha :-)

Hi Colin, thanks for your feedback and I can understand what you mean. I go forward because of ground clearance, especially departure angle from the rear. So, when I think about it the front would be best to swing backwards for front ground clearance ... something to ponder as we crack open a forthy at our next camp. peace :-)

Thanks Brad, we love our NX that’s why we’ve spent so many $$$$ on her, 😂. The 270 is expensive but WELL WORTH IT, you will not regret it. Yes, we got the position wrong initially (too high) so that prompted us to adjust it correctly taking into account the tailgate. A bloody great piece of kit. Peace.

@@seagullsontherun Hi - me again - if you get 5 could you measure the height of the top of the packed up awning above the roof or a point I could do the same on mine? Need to sue if it will fit in my garage. Cheers 👍🏻

@@bjp107 no worries, but our car is currently in workshop for some work. As soon as it’s back I’ll drop you a message with the measurement. Peace.

Hi Brad, here’s the numbers : at the B pillar it’s approx 220mm to top of the zipped bag, measured from the ‘rubber gutter’ on the roof. We have a Rhino Pioneer roof rack on a ‘backbone’ system. Hope this helps you bruv.

@@seagullsontherun Thats awesome - thanks so much!

Good question, and one I can give you a very accurate number as I have just had our entire rig professional weighed with "WeighStation". I will admit I totally loaded the Paj with everything possible to travel (tents/kayaks/maxxtracks/water/fuel ... ect) and the GVM was close at 2939kg (3030kg on compliance plate). The only concern was tow ball mass at 260kg (Paj max is 250kg), this was easily addressed by moving weight off drawbar. Caravan only weighs in at 1880kg, so we are under GCM of 6030kg.

@@seagullsontherun are those figures including tow ball weight? Tow ball is included I gvm. I recently purchased a 2600kg caravan and with van attached and family on board I was at 3.1t. I am over in my gvm and trying to work out a solution. My nw pajero has steel bar, dual battery winch etc. Don't want to sell but want to keep it legal.

Now getting technical, and this is where the weakness of the Paj is exposed. So, GVM of car = 2939 (everything on it) , + TBM of 261 = 3200 (GVM combined) - so we are over the compliance plate 3030kg by 170kg when we hitch up the caravan. We had to strip back everything to get the car lighter (so no kayaks/bikes etc), and get the back of the caravan heavier to reduce TBM - it's an annoying balancing act - what is interesting is the GCM max on a Paj is 6030 and we did not exceed that with caravan and gear on (we are 5079). The problem with the Paj is that piss poor 250 max on tow ball, if it was the 10% rule and goes to 303kg we'd be laughing. messy reply but i hope it helps you ... this is why we are selling and going to a UTE.
