I guess it depends on which Pajero/Shogun you have..... there is one of Brett's favourite lanes that I still wake up in cold sweats over after taking my Mk2 Shogun down last year, just the mention of UCR5003 :pinch:

It was much less nerve wracking in my latest Jimny.....

Well, a great day yesterday in the Lake District, chuffed with the on-road and off-road performance of the Jimny...

Only had a few little niggles to sort out -

The steering wheel is sitting cocked after I adjusted the front panhard rod, so just need to sort that, [strike]whip the steering wheel off and get it pointing straight when the wheels are straight.[/strike] correction : follow the link below that Brett has posted...

The windscreen washers don't work after I moved the washer bottle to fit the JimnyBits ABS-suitable battery tray... I'm sure I tested it when I fitted it, but no washer jets yesterday, so have to look at that one...

The CB didn't work first thing as it was set to the wrong zone... over breakfast at a motorway services Brett googled it and sent me a link to the instructions in PDF form, that I was then able to read on the iPad on the dashboard, and get the CB set up to the UK setting. BUT, then I had massive interference when anyone else broadcasted, so I need a noise suppressor...

I managed to whack the ORA bumper into a rock, so it's pushed it out of-line on it's adjustment slots, so that just needs adjusting back to sit right, and some way of keeping it in place permanently.

And the reversing alarm, although very useful to let others (particularly Phil-S! :lol: ) know your manouvering backwards, can start to grate on your nerves after a while, and could also be a bit inhibitive if we're trying to be subtle when 'laning, so I think I'll have to fit an on/off switch to it...

The gearing is great...

As said before 60mph in fifth is at 3,750rpm

And touching 70, i.e. 67/68mph is at 4,000rpm

So, ideal for long runs to and from distant areas of greenlanes, such as the Lake District yesterday... particularly on the way home, when you're desperate to get home to a waiting family, cold beer and a hot shower! :laugh:

Offroad gearing is awesome, nice and low when needed, and with ARB Locker there when needed too, which also results in normal road manners...

Superb!
