My husband and his father swear by pajeros. They arnt given the recognition they deserve IMO.

nuggetino said:Seriously thinking about dropping coin on a new suzuki jimny for use as an exploration vehicle outback. Apparently they're largely unchanged in their 15 years of production albeit a the VVT engine. I know they're decent off road, have great fuel economy and still have old school reliability/simplicity. They get horrendous reviews online mainly due to a lack of on road comfort but I do ride 900km stretches on my dirt bike at times so doubt I'd be too fazed. Removing the back seats and adding a roof top tent should make for a good platform for solo travels.

axeman said:My 2c worth, A camper trailer would be good as a base camp then use jimmy as the exploration vehicle. A roof top tent may make the jimmy a bit top heavy. Fit an awning to jimmy (have you heard of a fox wing awning, when they are opened up they provide cover for the side and back), this will serve a dual purpose (1) shade, (2) if you wander to from base camp or you find the big one and don't want to leave, throw a swag under the awning for an ovenight camp. If money and the m.o.f allows, get a deep cycle dry cell battery, (90amp minimum) these can be placed any where and in any position. This'll be good for running a little fridge and lights.

Nuggetino, I have had the temp check on the Pajero numerous times at the mechanics and it always says that the temp is fine. It works every now and then, just have to hit a bump on the road the right way...... I will get it fixed one day.
