Out with the old, in with the new

Hi

 

[grenadierboy]

Very nice Daniel - both actually!

 

[Krabby]

I’m Dan, in Perth Western Australia.
Just swapped my 90 for a Trialmaster diesel.
Cracking on with fitting it out now.

Two fantastic looking rides for certain. I am a sucker for a sharp 90.

 

[Shaky]

Agreed. That 90 does look like a really sorted piece of kit. With it being antipodean I would like to think there isn’t much rust on it either.

 

[AnD3rew]

Nice. I said goodbye to this little champ on the weekend in anticipation of my Grenadier arriving home this week. The Pajero Sport was amazing value for money and a much more capable 4wd than it has any right to be and I will miss some aspects of it (ACC for one and multiview cameras) but excited for my new beast.

Tends to depend upon beach use or not. And if you launch trailer boats into the sea...

 

[Sam]

exactly the trade-up that Ineos hoped for

looking forward to spotting you around

Is that the eibach lifted springs? Also could you give a better side view photo please. How's clearance with the 33 on the rear door?
And lastly new overall height?
And do we know literage of aux tank coming with that muffler removed???

 

[FlyingTexan]

I was looking at the US versions and wondering if there'd be tank extensions since there's no AdBlue. Would love to follow how you're adding the new tank.

Great work @ninetubes
If I may...Was wondering what brand of raised diff breathers you installed, how you connected them to the axles (and presumably also the Transfer case and auto transmission?) and where they're "terminated" presumably in the engine bay...
Thanks!

 

[ORSO]

Great work!
How does it sounds with the new straight pipe?
Can you post one video?
Is this a custom work?

Thanks

I believe in Austrila you guys can't run 35 on the street but do you think a 35 will fit with the lift?

 

[ADVAW8S]

It’d be close. I wouldn’t like to say yes or no either way.

Thanks, the back locks like it would be tight
Maybe when mine comes, I'll mess around with a 34 firsr and see after the lift is installed.

Who did your fit out mate, excellent work...?

 

[bamanuke]

Thank you.
A mate did the muffler and ORS provided the draw kit. Rest was by me. Learnt quite a lot in the last 12 weeks. Plenty of trial and error, especially on the electricals.

and yes, I rate the work as excellent

was the lift spring replacement pretty straightforward? I've done them on my D90 and Perentie. I don't have the luxury of a lift though and will be using floor and bottle jacks.

 

[bamanuke]

It was a bit tedious. Had to compress them which I would have preferred to avoid.
Front worse than the back

thanks!

 

[ORSO]

Yes it was custom fabricated from a few 3” bends and a v-band clamp.
There is absolutely zero difference in the sound. Honestly nothing at all. Not even a bit.

thanks,
how much does the stock exhaust approximately weight?

 

[Tazzieman]

Very nice work @ninetubes!
I think I'll have to wait for Kaon for mine.

Swish!!

 

[Wile E Coyote]

Awesome work mate! I'm very interested in how the LR tank fits.
Can I ask who is making it?
