- Excited would be an understatement! Building an Overland Vehicle on a Budget is the brand new series where we take a 4x4 vehicle from factory standard to adventure ready whilst keeping to a strict budget. Starting with a 4wd that we think is readily available and at the reasonable end of the used 4x4 market.

Hi
Kristina can't stop smiling, is this going to be her baby ??
Please show as much details as possible, this project is going to be so helpful for novices like me who want to do the same thing but have zero knowledge.
Can't wait for the next episode. 👏🏻👍👍
She absolutely loves it! 😂😂 Will do that is exactly the plan 😀
JKoverland
Jack would you still purchase this model year even if you had more to spend say up to 8k
What was your reason for this model type engine etc.
Does it have cam belt or chain.
Will you be lifting it ?
Probably would yes! With that budget could get a mk4 a little younger. It's the 3.2 diesel auto and it is a cam chain on these. Solid motor and trans of you look after it 👌
Shoguns are very underrated off road, because most were driven on roads! I had a 2002 manual which was excellent and I regret selling. Have a look at the Long way round motorcycle series, they took a stock 2004 lwb Warrior, stuck a couple of bash plates on it, and drove it around the world via Mongolia, Siberia, and the road of bones, it never missed a beat!
Exactly! You said it!! They are often looked past and that helps with the prices being reasonable and not going up and up like some others we all know 😂
Salut from France
I did same choice as you 2 years ago...got a 2001 pajero 3.2 DID Exceed I use every day and for overland with kids. Currently few mods on it: 3rd raw seat has been removed, replaced by a 40l watertank below the floor and homemade drawers in the trunk. Once rear seats are folded I can put a 2x1.4 meter airbed to sleep.
My pajero has mix tyres at original size (oversize tires not allowed at technical inspection in France). Nothing on suspension yet. I believe it will be next mod, this car needs to be lifted..., but have to change bushes first that are stuck into chassis... :(
Waiting for your next videos that will give me good ideas for sure :)
A bientôt !
Very good to hear you are pleased with the same vehicle that you have for overland and it has also been good to you 😉 suspension needs to be done here soon too 🙌
Id call it a blue steel color...good choice, I own a 05 with the 3.8 in the US.. 243k miles on it and going strong. Love it..
Like the sound of that! 3.8!! Cool 😀
I was worried for Molly, glad you are keeping her.
I would have gone for a 2nd generation montero, but thats too similar to Molly.
The 3rd gen isn't as modification friendly but the engine and drivetrain is rock solid.
The independent suspension is super comfortable but you can only do a mild suspension lift (I think the front axle is the same 8" as most of the monteros had) and a body lift isn't an option.
The plastic rear bumpers are famous for working more like a scoop, so you can carry around a bit of everywhere you go. I'd be interested in what a set of bumpers would do for that. That probably has stock skidplates, I dont know if they will be able to cope with anything offroad
Excited to see what you do with this. And once again...jealous you've got a diesel
Oh no worries there she is going nowhere 😁 it's a good base vehicle and enough gear out there to turn it into a solid and sensible tourer which is the plan 😀 maybe we have more parts here in the UK but certainly mods not as available like some vehicle we know 😉
I always enjoy budget builds. Hope you share every step with us. Best of luck on your travels guys... love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰♥️
That's the plan! Thank you 😁✌
Great video and best of luck with the build.
After years of owning my gen 2 Paj i took a deep breath and bought a Disco 3 which has taken us all over the UK and southern Europe.
2nd battery install with extra LED's and power sockets has been a winner along with tinting the windows.
Like yours will be, mine is a work in progress with an engine remap and EGR valves blanking kit to come plus a few body mods such as tree sliders and maybe a raised air intake.
Regular servicing is key to longevity and reliability.
Looking forward to the future videos
Sounds like a good and comfortable set up 👍 it's all about the adventure and what gets you there at the end of the day right 😃🤟
overlanding on budget, thats what i like, looking forward to this project
Let's go 🙌
just inherited a shogun nt myself and looking to do a similar build! keen to follow along
That's excellent! Hope this helps 🤟
What a great coincidence. I am following you since HIGH ROOF CAMPER days. You bought new shogun and I also bought Shogun. Mine is 53 reg. Now anxiously waiting for your build. It will give me good ideas but obviously I can't afford expensive OVERLANDING shops.
Have you thought about using extruded Aluminium profile for roof rack?
So cool to hear that 🤩 all coming right up 😉
Wow! I've been following you guys and you've inspired me, somehow, to get a Pajero/Montero/Shogun. But I got a Mark/Gen 3 a few months back and now you guys are going with Gen 3. Coincidentally, we have the same exact engine. Woohoo! Would love to see more of it and how you maintain your truck. Kudos to you both and excited about your journey. Love your all-stock new rig inside and out. Saying hello 👋 from the Philippines 🇵🇭.
That's so cool to hear 😀 thanks for sharing and kind words 😊
looking forward for your vids i just bougt 1 aswel thy are so nice to drive
Thanks!! Yes so comfortable 😂👍👍
I would choose exactly the same what I did 1,5 years ago. Can't wait to see what you are doing with the car. I am still working to get it 100% rust free as we have salty roads in the winter here in Norway.
It's a great base for a tourer. We also suffer with the salty road syndrome 🙈
Congratulations! That should be a fun build.
My thoughts exactly 😁🤟
I'm going to follow this serie! As a adventure motorcycle rider starting a family a overlander is a great option for family vacations!
Woohoo!! That is awesome! Best of adventures! 😃✌
My dad the same one with 3.5L petrol here in kuwait, miss riding in it to school and long trips to other Middle Eastern countries, very reliable.
Recently I got the 3.8L 2017 pajero, but in-terms for comfort and built quality the 3rd gen is incomparable.
Great cars! I'm surprised there is that much difference between the mk3 and mk4.
Great channel! You won’t get better for the money. These motors are soooo under rated. My 04 swb shogun has 194000 miles on the clock and still going strong. I’ve probably had all the problems you may encounter along your build. If I can help I will, cheers
Thanks!! We are enjoying the process taking this car from stock to tourer 😀
heavy duty shocks & coils (2 inch lift), rear bumper, 1 inch bigger on tire, roof rails with rack, DIY Aluminum Extrusions for rear loading area. extra battery when you want lighting and freezer. if you do side steps then just add some additional reinforcements.
That pajero with its MAT tech can climb trees, you just need to learn and get used to it planking and wheel lifts.
That sounds like something very similar to what will be happening here with this build 😉 good base vehicles 🤟
I’ve chosen a td5 disco. I think you made the right choice. Congrats guys
Nice! We are pleased with it!
Hello guys!
Hope you are happy with new car, share with us the assembly steps of this car.
Big hug!
God bless you 🙏🏻🇧🇷
Yes yes we will! 😁 thank you! 😊✌
Wow really looking forward to the next episode.
Woohoo!! Happy to hear that 😀
Nice choice! A underestimated platform, but very capable!
You said it!! 😁🤟
Great stuff, looking forward to following the build. I have a 03 model and love it, a 2inch suspension lift was a great mod.
Cool! Yes suspension is needed 😁🤟
This is the exact same van we tour with , can’t wait to see your build !!!!!!!!!!
That's awesome! Please to hear it 😁🙌
Post more, your content is excellent!
Thanks!
This is the plan 😁✌
Hey guys, I’m really looking forward to watching your progress with the Shogun.
I have been looking for a Shogun in good condition for ages, they are like hens teeth! You have found a very rare beast with all of the fuel pump work already done. Cheers for the amazing content 👌👌👌
I keep hearing this and I am amazed how we must have walked into this one 😁 looking forward to getting this adventure ready 🤟
The colour is GREY-T.
I like it 😁🤟
Great film and looking forward to the series! Did I see a casette tape player? If so you have to buy some tapes!
You did indeed 😂 funnily enough the cd changer was full of golden oldies 😁🙌
Hello,
your new acquisition is very beautiful, I really like the color,
this new 4x4 will take you to great adventures.
Thank you! We are most impressed 😊🙌
You’re definitely a Mitsubishi guy. Great vehicle. I’m actually looking at getting a 2010 Pajero Sport Turbo 2.5L to convert. Would be following your build videos closely.
Hahaha what makes you think that 🤔
@@JKoverland all your vehicles are Mitsubishi. They’re good also right, especially for your off-road adventures.
Niiiice find!
Cheers to that!
I love this ride
MOLLY!!!! 😭😭😭😭
Just as an aside the Gen 3 onward has a monocoque design. Not as strong off-road and less flex. Take a look at 4x overland and Andrew's take on them. Good choice for a build though, it'll be interesting to watch. 4M41 engines are tough as nails and pull like an ox!
Still love the V6 Mitsubishis, bit thirsty, but great sounding 😁
Don't worry Molly is only taking a break 😉
It's blue, right? I can't unsee the grey though. Nice project! I would have gone with a Prado 120, same age, but I don't know how available they are in the UK.
Looks blue to me 😂 maybe a grey tint. Can also get the prado here to! Good choice 👌
Be interesting to see how this goes.
My only real experience of modern Mitsu's is working on a friend's L200 Warrior which is, I'm afraid, a pile of cheap & nasty, rusty, unreliable, garbage.
One thing that gives me the heeby-jeebies about modern 4x4s is when the infotainment system also acts as a control for things like the satnav, traction-control, air-con etc.
I'd rather just have switches and knobs controlling stuff and gauges displaying information cos it's all much easier to add, remove or modify things.
These are a pretty solid base as an overlander from what I've seen. Seems well put together, tbf almost anything will rust in the UK with the salt roads 😂
Looks a mint example, with having all that done already may also be worth doing the timing chain on that, the 2 main things that kill the 3.2’s the fuel pump/filler issue and the chain guides disentegrating, people think it’s just the top guides that is the issue but my mk4 the top guide failed completely and when replacing the chain the other guides all had cracks and one was completely missing and half way through the metal aswell
That sounds crazy! How many miles did you have on the motor? You don't often hear of the t chain failing on these. Cheers!
@@JKoverland its not massively common but it definitely does happen. mine was only 78k ish on a mk4 3.2... and supposedly the recall had been done for the top guide only couple of year/few thousand mile ago from when i got it. whether it had actually been done i dont know. but if i ever got another 3.2 id definitely want the chain and guides doing after seeing my first one. the chain was running metal on metal where the top guide was supposed to be, and the bottom one there was barely anything left of the metal bracket the chain had already ate through it.
That's crazy! How unlucky by the sounds of things but obviously yes happens if there is a recall. You must of been having some funny noises by that point!? 🙈
@@JKoverland yes and no lol....i checked as i thought i could hear a faint tick whilst driving along at low revs. so that made me check it, but it never sounded any different after it was all replaced lol. you can inspect the top guides through the oil cap incase you didnt know, worth a check every few thousand miles
I'm in the process of turning isuzu trooper into overland Vehicle Probably not gonna be done for another year In the process of changing cylinder head At the moment
An interesting development... Lookin forward to the build👍🏻
Getting there now 😉
Me gusta su nuevo TT
🤟🤟🤟
Nice ones guys, looking forward to watching the build progress 👍
Ahh pleased to hear that Nick 😁👍👍
Booooo, not a Defender but cool project. I'm excited!
Haha brilliant 😂
I have gone the same route as you. Pajero Gen 3 (but went with 3.5 v6 petrol instead - diesel pump failure on Gen 3 is common and very costly!). Took out 2nd and 3rd row of seats = loads of space! Want to do sleeping platform (if weather is really bad) with drawer system underneath.
Have ARB front bumper, steel aftermarket back bumper and rock sliders installed. Bought Frontrunner roofrack with water and fuel tanks, and frontrunner rooftop tent. Have 270 batwing awning.
So slowly building mine up too! 😅
Looking forward to see which route you guys will be taking 😁
BTW mine is blue!
Good trucks often looked passed but with a few mods it becomes a weapon of a tourer and so comfortable you just want to keep on driving! This has had all the pump work done so it's sorted thankfully and is avoidable if the filler pipes are not left to rot out 😁 loving the project 🤟 yours sounds well kitted out already and with that motor 👌
Very nice guys, looking forward to the build. 👍👍👍
Cheers! Us too 😁✌
It's blue. Gunmetal blue. It actually looks alot like bluing
This is dope... looking forward to watch and learn...
Cheers! Getting into it right now 👌
Timing chain, injector pump, rust everywhere. Otherwise they are solid as a rock.
She's gooden being solid underneath and all pump work done new pump tank and lines plus extra filter/trap. Not sure when timing chain needs doing as she's only on 109k
@@JKoverland Wont need a timing chain anytime soon, but the top chain guide should be inspected and replaced preventatively. If the plastic on the guide wears it can cause the chain to jump teeth on the timing gear which will obviously result in ugly things happening since its an interference motor. The chain and tensioners are rock solid. Only change the change when the tensioner is at maximum. We will be replacing the chain on our Gen 3 3.2 in the next few months for that reason. Its just on 400k km now and its not had an easy life touring around Southern Africa.
The injector pump has never needed work (the pump does not like running out of diesel so never run it dry as fuel actually cools the pump). Gearbox is the auto and its still 100%. We change ATF fluid with genuine Mitsu spec Dia Queen SP III every 80k km or less if its been offroad a lot.
We don't have salted roads in SA so the only rust issue we get is in the sunroof frame (water ingress when the rubber seals lift due to debris/dust). Seal off the area between the glass and the rubber seal with a good sikaflex and it will last a lifetime. Enjoy the Paj, its an epic vehicle that just does its thing without any concerns.
Thanks for the information 🤟 so I will inspect the top guide when I change the rocker seal, so if the plastic looks in good condition should I change it anyway? Very pleased with this as our base vehicle for the project 😀
Hope Im not too late, but what extra filter/trap did you use?
It’s grey. End of. ✌🏼
Haha others would disagree 🤣
@@JKoverland Not here to agree or disagree, only state the facts 😂
Should be a good watch , budget build when you make your own drawers , slides , drop tables and can’t afford £2k on a RTT so you have to camp on the ground , they were the fun days when I had my old XJ
Sounds good to me! Budget can still be budget with some creature comforts 😁
Exciting new project, and the car is an absolute bargain. You'll pay about €12 to €15k for it here in Portugal.
Amazing the price difference 😅
NIce. amigo Hi from mexico .
Thanx!
I have 57 plate shogun Chech the transmission pipes for rust for the gearbox mine rusted through and leaked oil all over
Yes thank you! I've checked and looks good for now 😀🙂🙂
Were it gose to the oil cooler under grill
Gotcha 👌
Looking forward to what you do with your new purchase. I’ve got a 2011 and love it but so far ive had a new tank just fitted as their prone to rust?
Check the sun roof kip as mines blown a bit there as well.
Tanks do rust as well as the filler pipes. This one's had new all too 😁
His and Hers wagons?
Haha I like your thinking 😂
Wow cars are expensive in Australia. I just got one 2002 model for 10000 aud, but i guess its alright being it has engine and trans rebuilds
Good find by the sounds of it
@@JKoverland yeah we pull the car apart a bit and confirmed that both have been rebuilt the suspension, brakes and steering need looking at
finally, been waiting for this
Glad to hear! 😉
Sweet looking Mitsy.
One question though: all the modern electrics do mean more things to go wrong and hard to locate/repair on the road, don't they?? Moly and her age fellows usually have mechanical gremlins only, that can be sorted out with some grease and a nice big hammer I guess 😁
Halo
the topic
Iron running boards side pedal Mitsubishi Pajero 2002 - 2003 equipped with side lighting
I watched the video of your car and the work was excellent, as was the explanation, and I really liked watching it
I have a question: where can I buy what is shown in the message above, or the correct name for the foot pedal under the doors, or if there is a specific site? If you know, can you send me the name of the site?
Thank you and have a nice day

From the State of Kuwait
Do yourself a favour and service the auto box asap, and don't just change the ATF, change the filter in the auto box, and use only Dia Queen ATF from Mitsubishi - I skipped that step and had to replace the auto box , which cost a fortune !!!!
Wish someone had told me that when I bought it, most people just change the oil and don't Bother replacing the filter as its a mission to get to, but do it asap, for your own peace of mind.
If you see the next video this is what we have done 😁👍
Glad to see you got another rig. I have to admit, while I loved my early Pajero it was amazing unreliable.
You did not mention it, does your new one have the factory rear diff lock? If not, do you plan to add it?
I'd imagine they can be had at a decent price in several wecker yards by now.
Must have been unlucky there. Molly the mk1 has never left us stranded and we put her through hell and back 😅 only the recent turbo but that was our fault for fitting a China core only 6 months before 🙈
@@JKoverland Keep in mind, this was in the US. We had the 2.8 non turbo petrel. It was notorious for over heating. 5 speed was also well know for the 3rd and 4th syncros going bad. At least it was easy to work on though. Thought about getting another one, but living in Germany now.. parts are hard to come by.
Nice. Just out of interest how come you only get autos? You just prefer then off road?
Must admit do prefer an auto 😁
@@JKoverland me too
Great choice with the Mitsubishi, I think it's only a matter of a few years or a year before they start skyrocketing too now when people are realising how good they actually are for what they cost. You can get them for pennies in sweden. Would you recommend one for a first time overland build on a bit of a budget?
Looking forward to this think this is going to be good 👍 🏴
Cheers to that! 😃
Looking forward to this 👍
Nice car for the offroad what the differenc for DiD and GDI
Hey guys I want to ask you something about the engine, so you always use diesel engines but what if a 4L V8 1UZ patrol engine is fitted in a 2001 Pajero? Does this make sense? I recently found one for a decent price but am still hesitant due to the lack of my experience... Wish you both best of luck with this new project btw, I'm really inspired by what you do, almost going to change my life actually
Hey 👋 well that sounds pretty cool to be honest! The 1uz v8 is a toyota motor normally out of a Lexus so will be completely custom so if its an overlander may not be the best first vehicle considering parts etc will all be different. Might work better getting something stock and working with that 😃✌
@@JKoverland That is actually very accurate, although this is a reliable engine but it is made for lexus and toyota cars, it wouldn't be very ideal to fit it in an overlander mitsubishi. I appreciate you puting the time to reply to my comment, I'm a big fan already.... love and respect from Jordan.
Hows molly?
Wierd hearing yous call the Pajero a Shogun
Topppppp
Good choice, who is the beautiful young lady you are hanging out with ? 👍
I thought so 🙌 haha
Guess I might Subscribe and watch this build. Love my 2002 NM 3.5L V6 Pajero. If you need any ideas check my channel and see how I've set mine up in the back for touring/overlanding. They are a great vehicle and such a pleasure to drive that's for sure. Have to say your one looks very nice and clean. Well looked after by the looks of it.
Good to have you on board ✌
Wow okay I think I would’ve gone Toyota for reliability but downside to Toyota cost of buying its most definitely blue I think it was Show lots of scratches maybe see if a sponsor would wrap it definite remove all the backseats and maybe the towbar on showguns protrude along way out oh yeah seat covers black leather gets hot and if you Forget and jumping in shorts on a hot sunny day you will regret it One last thing a name for her😁🇬🇧👍
Ah yes I gotcha! Looking forward to building this from the ground up and getting it adventure ready 😁
