Hey Pirate, what's with the Pajero stompin? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] I own one and have to admit, it's a hell of a lot more capable than I thought she ever would be, or perhaps it's my driving :wink:
Sure, they are not your hard core machine, and yes it does get the "I hope we don't scratch it" from the handbrake, but to me it's a 4WD and whenever I get the chance, that's how I use it. I think too much is said about vehicles and not enough said about driver skill, I think that driver skill counts for a substantial portion of a vehicles capability, probably as much as 30%, I have had my Pajero (an NM Exceed btw) into some very tricky spots and made it through where what I would classify as more capable 4WD's have been stopped.
I even had one instance where I climbed over a sand dune on Fraser in the NM and a mate could not get his BJ73 Cruiser over after 3 attempts, I asked if I could have a go and did it first time. He was happy because he then got a drive of the NM and I had fun in the BJ73 :wink:
Anyway, it will make you happy that I am planning to invest in a 130 Crew Cab in the future and do it up for some serious off road touring. Still trying to get some info out of the members about 130 Crew Cabs, but there does not seem to be too much on them.
Take care and maybe one day when I get the 130 and get it setup, I might drop over to WA and have a beer with you and possibly wet a line and go see the bush :wink:
