    HOLDEN VS PAJERO - old skool super kool- Roothy
    This Bushmechanic challenge features old mate Pat driving a diesel Isuzu - ok it's a Holden Jackeroo - he picked up for less than $2K. I spent about the same for a 1991 Pajero, bloody beautiful, one of the most comfortable four wheel drives I've ever punted over outback distance. I reckon this really showed the inherent strength of the Pajeros, especially the older ones.
    It also reminds us all of the days when you could still buy a cheap fourby that would go places. These days it's much more about buying, fixing, and then going -
    In this case, to the outback. It was one hell of a trip, but the real hell was what we put the vehicles through.
    It does kick off with a couple of new sets of tyres which, quite frankly, if we'd had to pay for them would have cost more than the bloody vehicles themselves. Hey, welcome to the wally world of 4WD Action at it's very best.
    As usual it features some of the great blokes in the trade too with Mark 'Lowmount' Lowry, Brad Smith, Mike Ellem on camera, the list goes on -
    Here's something you won't see - on the way back to Sydney, a long time after the cameras have been put away, the Pajero literally spat an axle. The lads were driving along, the wheel started moving out and the axle fell out. Hmmm, maybe we did bust it?

    My first 4x4 was a 1990 jackaroo, now have a 1988 Pajero both turbo diesel 5 speeds…I miss the barn rear doors of the jacky but she died a noble death, Pajero is a 7seater so can take my half a footy team with me now

    My parents had a slightly older Pajero with the leaf sprung rear end when I was learning to drive, it was a turbo diesel though. The things I put that wagon through as I taught myself how to drive offroad would have killed most other vehicles, they really did make them well back then.

    I complained about this back in the day - destroying 4wds for no other reason than just for the sake of it..
    Plenty of young kids get a start in cheap 4WDs and unfortunately this is an example of taking opportunities from 17 year olds on apprenticeship wages to get into 4 wheel driving. These days a young kid can't get into a 4wd for under $10k.
    Long gone are the days of buying cheap vehicles and spending the endless cycle of drive, break, fix, and repeat. Getting out there enjoying the weekends while learning the art of minor repairs at home so you can get to work on Monday.
    The trend all over the place went to destroying 4wds for fun instead of preserving them.

    toyota

    MItsubishi
    FORD
    HOLDEN
    everyone else
    IN terms of repair from a local garage and secondhand/new parts
    Toyota
    Nissan Patrol
    Mitsubishi
    Ford
    Holden
    other brands.
    I would love to see a comparison starting from the toyota 40/60/70/80/100/200/300 series toyota repair
    vs nissan
    vs mitsubishi

      Not sure I agree any more - I would have a few years ago. Probelm is with most of the new stuff being built highly computerised it's only dealerships that can make computer repairs. My list probably starts with cars I'd never take bush - VW - and works up. Forget 200 and 300 Tojo repairs in small towns - doesn;'t happen unless it's tyres. Or a unique mechanic!

Those truck are good you should use it as a normal 4 wheeling. I will not buy that mickey thompson anymore your just showing how tough your tyres but how about those trucks.
