90 Pajero Build thread

[cruisn06]

New parts day!!! yay!!!

I recieved a Redac 1220 dc charger to keep my deep cycle battery running at top performance.


6m of wire to go along:


And because for once I would like to know what is in the tank I bought a new fuel sending unit and gauge.

Got a bit more work done, Middle storage section. Part way there. still need to finish cutting plywood.

I have ordered a set of pull rings and locks for the doors to finish the storage up next weekend.

In for paint:


Looking back from the front:
Its tight, the seats can still bounch. without rubbing.


The front section still needs to be bolted down to sit level.

Well... I guess its time for a big update since I have been off the radar for 2 weeks haha.

In list form:
finished rear of wagon floor idea
rear barrier installed
extra led lighting added
40" led light bar added
arb seat covers
water tank set in place
wiring almost sorted
red arc 1220 installed
immobilizer installed
can now start off key - no switch required
new viynl floor installed
recovery point on rear added
turbo installed

For starts, I got a new turbo installed, overall it works great. a lot more power and actually gets decent fuel economy again:


This is tough to sort out. so let smove onto led lighting

OUtside:
Installed a new 40" led light bar, test shots to follow.


Inside:
new leds inside my RTT. great lighting, even has a switch. haha




no flash:




Rear of wagon:


Just rear door light:




extras:


A little more outside work, finally finished gettig the badges removed...


and a clean side to follow:


Finially got a new floor in. tough install. hard work but worth it.










Moving onto the storage unit now... this took a while to build but houses all my electrical keeping them off the floor, up high and away from under the dash.
keeping most of the factory wiring untouched.









Along the way I had to fabricate a rear barrier for safety reasons:








Some carpet added:





Shot from the back:


Water pump installed:


Air pump on the other side of the water tank:


Almost there... I figure jsut wiring is left now:

I have set everything into a simple box.


A bit of a mess right now. but once the wires are bundled it will look great,
contains:
fuse black
redarc 1220
dakota digital tach box
immobilizer


dakota digital tach box on left, egt on right


under dash before:


after:


switch combo:
contains 4 switches, fuel transfer pump, gauge for main tank, arb compressor switch


seat covers:


finished shot:

A little safety added:


A shot of her all cleaned up for the photo shoot with 4wd action.

Camping??? mud comp??? yes please


A few hours mudding on the weekend, this basically lead to my engine having a valve touch a piston on the way home. luckily it was at idle so no damage, but getting a new head due to cam wear I am worried about. then she will be all new. haha



Lookin sharp:

Nice shot of all the vehicles - looks like it was an awesome gathering.

Mandatory poser shots:

She is almsot done, a few touch ups here and there. need a new fuel transfer pump for my second tank and a bit more wiring.
a few photos as she currently sits:

Cruisn, you're such a poser!

But I gotta say that she's lookin' ship shape and Bristol fashion, mate. What will you be hooking the fuel transfer pump up to for power, out of curiosity?

I park so hard sometimes i'm suprised nothing has broke yet... HAHAHA



A for the fuel transfer pump. it is a 12v low pressure pump, moves about 2-3L/min so low power consumption and if shit does happen I have a chance of noticing before all my fuel is all over.

The power setup is sorta simple, to start I have 2 batteries. 1 starter battery a N70ZZ century battery, the other is a deep cylce 105amp.hr battery.

They are completely isolated from each other, no matter what I run at night I can still start the wagon in the morning, the deep cycle is charged by a redarc 1220 dc to dc battrey charger. which works excellent once you have the right fuse sizes in le derp on my part for that issue haha.

then I run some heavy gauge wire to my power box which has 20 separated fused wires and is all plug and play, it can be unhooked quickly for work but will not rattle loose ever.

I then run wires hooked to a 10 amp fuse to my fuel sending unit which measures the level of fuel, which also has a built in micro computer that runs the pump when i tell it too, but automatically shuts off when the tank is empty.

I love this thread, amazing truck man! Lots of really cool mods and it's properly used to boot. I wish I had thousands of miles of Outback to play in

[mararmeisto]

Excellent thread. Lots of good ideas to keep in mind for my Titan w/ canopy that I'm starting out on the mod-journey.

[cruisn06]

Thanks guys, I actually like it when people want to copy a design, as it means I have done something right, either in weight or the functionality department. which was the goal of the wagon, light as possible yet still tough as nails.

the roof rack will be rebuilt with a lighter material. hould save about 20kg as the pipe I used was pretty dman heavy, so weight saving yet no loss of strength, well a little but lets face facts I never load more than 200kg on the roof rack. that is when I did the jerry can deal with roof top tent.

I will also b redoing my spare tyre carrier latching system, as it broke. haha. the roads are rough, material fatigue. going to go a diffrent route on mounting. simple fix.

otherwise beside routing a new airhose setup and getting ym water tank installed there is not much more to sort out

OOOHHH i know, a magazine stretchy thing that the back of minivans has for my center console area. maps all over half the time.
