Project Pajero, Entry 3.

Entry 3. Time to change shoes.
I decided to get my favorite rims for the pajero, the RalliArt Webs. Unfortunately, I can't find original ones and can't afford them as well so I went for copies (16"x8"). The copies weigh a bit more compared to the stock "flower"-style rims. I also got new Yokohama Geolandar AT-S' (stock size so one of my old tires can be used as a spare and not look different from the installed tires) tires as the old tires were all bald to the point that they did not have any tread on them at all and they were simply too old so I changed them for safety's sake. I've also got the wheels aligned and balanced and I also got that ugly roof rack removed from the paj.

Project: Pajero, Entry 2.

The first thing I did to my paj. The first step. Re-genesis. Here it is.
The first thing I got fixed was the underchassis as it was beat up and worn-out as hell. Like I said in my previous post, at around 60-80 kph, there always was a grinding noise coming from the front end. Also, the steering wanders at high speed. Well the things done here addressed those complaints.

Here it was getting sorted at banawe.
Things done to it:
-New wheel bearings
-The wheel bearings were repacked
-New CV shaft boots
-New idler arm
