Its been a while...

... since I posted here, as the Pajero has been sitting a while. A couple years ago I started undertaking some maintenance/upgrade items on my '93 LWB, but since then a divorce, new job, new mortgage, and life in general has just taken far too much of my spare time for me to even deal with basic upk...

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

Same part number, yup. In wondering if my Paj is an oddball, tho. It's a '93, and of the first run of units that was equipped with the 2.8 so perhaps the '94 and up models are slightly different. Let me know how the fitment goes with your install, tho. In other news, I passed a milestone over the we...

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

Hey all, sorry for the lack of updates lately. We had a hot water tank fail, creating a mess in my newly renovated basement. Having had my fill of dealing with the basement lately, we had a contractor come in and deal with the removal/replacement of the old heater and some minor repair and refinishi...

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

Haven't driven it much yet besides home from the shop and to/from work. I'll get out and hit up some of the pothole-infested rural roads. The biggest immediate difference I've noticed is the stability. Cornering with the old tired out torsion bars even with the suspension set to firm felt fairly sof...

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

Yup, I've done some bare pavement highway driving on them as well. Not sure how effective a comparison it is, but I had 33x10.5x15 BFG A/T's on my Tacoma before we bought the Pajero. These Multi Miles are definitely quieter than the A/T's were at highway cruising speeds.

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

I wonder if when I order I can order a longer OME shock? That's one option I'm currently looking into. Failing that, I've measured the eyelet dia/thickness as well as the stem dia/threads and will spec something to fit from Rancho or wherever. Dino, the tires are 31x10.5x15 Multi Mile Wild Country ...

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1

So yet another wrinkle - everything is installed except the new OME front shocks. The tech said that after installing the new torsion bars and leveling the front end that the OME shocks were completely extended, even a little over-extended. So for now the factory shocks are still in place up front u...

Re: Rant

I ran into one of the typical RHD-haters at a local pub one day. Stopped in for a pint on my way home from work and an old codger was standing outside having a smoke. "Where'd you get THAT thing?" "Imported it from Japan..." *grumbles* "Those damn things should be illegal......

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

FINALLY... replacement torsion bars arrived on Friday last week and the Pajero is in the shop getting all the suspension parts swapped over today. I'm not having the spacers installed right now, however... just going with the suspension work. The new tires (31") fit just fine as-is, so I didn't...

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

Hey all, hope everyone had a great xmas break! If it's a 2.8 you can fit up to 33x10.5 without a lift. You can fit 33x12.5 with minor trim and mud flap removal in the front and a little minor rub in the back at full flex. I would be interested in your old springs if you're into shipping them? and th...

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

Longer torsion bars are already on the way and should be here in the new year. And just to clarify, the 31x10.5x15 tires DID in fact fit with no rubbing issues whatsoever, which is great as the General Grabber ATs were well beyond done. I'll grab a picture over the weekend when its daylight out - I ...

<insert huge string of profanity here> Had to delay the shop work til today as I needed the truck over the weekend... just got a call back from the shop a few minutes ago after dropping it off on my way to work this morning.

Re: 1993 2.8 LWB - OME complete suspension kit & 1" coil spa

Spacers finally arrived! Shop time is booked for Saturday for the swap and new tires. Does anyone know if there are already some type of 'seats' where the factory rear springs sit? The reason I ask is that these supposed 1" spacers are nearly 2" tall. (the battery is a AAA, approx 4cm tall...

Re: Trailer Hitch

I think the actual brand of hitch on my 93 LWB might be different, but in style & size it looks identical to this model from that previous link posted:

Re: Pajero Lift kits?

I know what you mean by the bouncing and clunking... its been getting a little tedious (especially with our $h1tty roads here in Prince George). Having some actual shock absorption capacity again is going to be nearly like getting in a new ride! I'll try to take some before-and-after in-car video al...
