got a reply from down under

"Thank you for your email and interest in ARB. Yes, the conclusions made in your email are correct, today we do not have an Air Locker for the TDI version of the 1990 Pajero. As we understand the non-TDI version uses a 28 spline axle whereas your vehicle carries a 31 spline variant. You may wish to double check this axle spline specification as vehicle specifications do change across international markets.

The good news is that we are planning to develop the 31 spline version of this Air Locker for release hopefully toward the end of this year or if not early next year.

We recommend you keep in touch with your nearest ARB reseller regarding this new Air Locker, I have copied this email to the importer and distributor of ARB accessories in the UK, ‘GKN Driveline’ who will be able to advise you of your nearest ARB reseller. For your reference I have attached their contact details below."

looks like the arb locker will have to wait,

until then its foot to the floor for these difficult hill climbs

2 inch body lift, Conclusion

Hi The body-lift is completed and I did a 260km test-run yesterday.

She sounds different well the engine is 2 inch lower.. also some noise from the rear on hard braking i suspect the rear bumper touching the body have to investigate. Vibrating noise from transfer case shift leaver.

1. I had to get a longer radiator hose (spiral type) and it rubs to the inter-cooler resonator pipe as it is not formed to fit as the original hose. The air-filter to turbo hose was a bit short but I just stretched it by hand and refastened to air-filter outlet pipe so its OK.

2. The transfer-case leaver is very low and the top boot I had to remove to make her stay in 2wd, the leaver is still rubbing the floor penetration hole steel bracket and making vibrating noise this still has to be modified.

3. I made new rubber skirts for the inner fender wall to prevent road dirt to splash on top of fuel tank and in to engine bay. Glue screw and then silicone on top to prevent water dirt to penetrate in between rubber and fender metal wall. Self tapping metal screws is a good idea..

Conclusion: Can be done in a weekend if you are 3 persons.

The repositioning of the bumpers is the most difficult task and can be solved in different ways. I choose to cut and weld the frame bumper brackets, but bolt-on brackets can be made (time consuming), then a 30mm lift is better to utilize the upper mounting holes on frame for the rear bumper. (Note the rear bumper outer and inner attachments brackets bolts / nut-holes are with different distance apart in height, the outer are approx 30mm apart in height & this is the strongest point.)

The chrome steel bumper part must be well free (cut ) from the frame for a good fit of the outer bumper plastic parts (fender)as this is esthetically most important fit. Check with your local vehicle inspection what you are allowed to do.

2 inch body lift rear bumper

Hi 

1.The front lift block bolts are somewhat difficult to tighten, need two socket extensions to reach the bolt one left side, Note the large washer (stock item) goes between lift block and rubber I missed this one .

2.I checked the pipes & hoses under the engine, small adjustments needed on a few; power steering (converted to left-hand drive) needed a bit reshaping not to touch the lower radiator hose. Brake line needed to be reshaped, not to rub the inner fender, there is a rubber protector for the break line on the inner fender wall hole. Reshape by hand to get the brake line in the center of the hole in fender wall.

3. The radiator fan duct needed a bit reshaping (cutting) to fit the fan, or remove it completely. The upper radiator hose still needs to be renewed to a approx. 1.5 inch longer hose. The air filter to turbo hose is stretched to the limit also.

4. Front bumper see pix for cut to accommodate the chromed center section. I welded the bumper brackets to the frame after a somewhat long fitting process, used c-clamps, lock-pliers string etc to get a nice fit. Note the outer fender panels have to be in place to get the right tilt of the bumper. The two bumper bracket moves up so far that additional steel has to be welded on top of frame to get a strong weld.

5. Rear bumper cut the brackets and move up 2 inches and tack weld, fit bumper and adjust brackets. Outer U bracket (4 nuts inside) cut the U bracket off only (cut top and bottom follow weld) do not cut the whole bracket as done in the pix (right side). Some bolts needs to be shortened to fit. The holes in the bumper are rather large so there is room for adjustment. I need to do a final fitting test of the bumper and then strengthen the brackets and tow hook bracket.

2 inch Body lift kit

Hi

Talking about Gen II Pajero,
Body Lift, 2 inches part two...... 

Started the lift after 2 cups of java... 

1. Removed all nuts to body mounts, some are ordinary bolts without any lock to prevent them turning (M14).

2. After removing all the nuts removed the bolts except in front. Remove carpet in front of front and rear seats to access the bolt head (see pix) some covered by rubber plug.

 


3. Remove the brackets for fuel hoses (left rear) remove battery (all) Remove the inter cooler. Remove front grill & skid plates in front. Have a good look at all pipes in the engine bay under the engine ; fuel, brake, vacuum etc this to determine what can move up 2 inches without loosing the hose / line brackets. The best is to by hand check the slack in the lines / hoses. this is very practical no theory, repeat as you go along with lifting more frequent the closer you come to the engine bay.

4. Remove radiator fan air duct. (loosen up)

5. Remove radiator upper support brackets

6. When doing this removal, return bolts to the bracket as far as possible, then you do not have a lot of bolts you do not know where they belong. 

7. By now you know that you need something to lay down on and some ting to put under your knees on, I used an old door mat to lay down on and a chair pillow for my knees...old man needs a soft touch 

8. I started at right rear corner here I could squeeze in my modified jack no clutter with fuel lines. I used my floor jack and 2 pieces 4x6 inches wood blocks under front door to ease the pressure from frame. Yeah the frame follows when body is lifted.

 
 

9. Jacked up the right rear corner with my modified jack, slowly now its time to start listening to what you are doing if no noises just continue until you reached the required lift In my case 2 inches.

10. Warning jack slowly and place bits of wood between body and frame this to prevent the body to fall down if jack slips. You might have to reposition jack or the leaver during lifting process and add plywood between jack and frame to spread load if not positioned on a stiffening beam.

11. WARNING 2!! WATCH WHERE YOU PUT YOUR FINGERS THE WEIGHT OF THE BODY WILL CUT THE FINGERS OFF IF IT FALLS DOWN!!!

12. Put the lift block in place alien bolt use washers from the original bolt tighten nut as far as to nylon lock.

13. Have a brake and think.................... 

14. Continue to left rear corner it gets a bit more tricky not so much space to fibble with, fuel lines are in the way, but the same procedure applies as on right side..

15. OK the left rear corner lift block is now in place, now continue to left side lifting of the 2 blocks under the front door. Now you have the most heavy load to lift, my modified jack collapsed here, but I did pile wood between frame and body before the jack collapsed. And I was so close so i hammered in the lift blocks. You have rubber on the underside so 3mm will give way for brute force.
 

16. When the left side blocks are in place use floor jack to crank up right side body and the lift blocks will slide in as the left side is already done and attached to the frame. EASY!

17. The remaining front mounts are a bitch,  as they are in a recess and here is where you do not want to lift too much due to all the hoses and lines. Remove the bolts holding the rubber dampers and wiggle the original bolts out. To slide in the lift blocks is only possible from the inside to wards out side, due to the recess the blocks have to fit in to. Push up the body with your floor jack and use a lever to push down the fame and the lift blocks will slide in.HAMMER>>>GRRRR. Here it is better to be two persons...Hey I am strong...and now i need to take a rest.

How to do 33 inch tires part 2

Hi 

The saga continues now 33x12.5x15 tires on 8.5x15 inch rims offset 32mm.

They fit without lift but minor modifications needed, are you prepared to take the grinding machine and start cutting?

1. Remove rear mud flap this to drive the Pajero home from tire shop

2. Front fender; remove lower steel support bracket and cut outer end. Cut front fender lower part tip use electric hacksaw.

3. Remove fender inner plastic lining (covers washer tank) the plastic plugs are a pain....

4. Mark area to be cut with masking tape use grinder to cut plastic fender.

5. Cut following masking tape line.

6. Cut the inner steel plate use goggles to protect your eyes the sparks flye up on the left side.

7. Bend the edge of the inner steel plate with plier this is pending the thickness of your patch material I use 10mm thick rubber floor mat (Foamy rubber comes on a 1.5m wide roll)

8 Clean & paint steel edges.

9.Cut patch have extra material if the first is getting too small hehe

10. Place patch behind edges glue with silicone messy stuff but easy to remove to access later.

11. Fit original inner plastic liner and cut to fit.

Good luck

The Chef

RAMP TRAVEL INDEX / RTI

RAMP TRAVEL INDEX / RTI
A vehicles RTI or ramp travel index is a measurement of a vehicles suspension (and frame) flexibility.  In many situations off-road a vehicles flexibility may be the determining factor of whether or not it can get over an obstacle.   If a vehicles suspension is too stiff this may cause a tire or two to be lifted, loosing contact and traction, especially apparent in vehicles with open differentials.  While locking differentials will help to maintain forward momentum when a wheel is off the ground, good flexibility will help to keep the wheels on the ground and more able to conform to the terrain.
You may have seen at many off road events 4x4's taking a shot at the ramp.   The ramp tells a great deal about a vehicle's capabilities on the trail. It's also very useful for evaluating suspension systems, examining shock length, finding interference points and other things that may only be apparent on the trail while under the extremes of wheel travel.  There are several factors that make up the RTI score.   First the ramp.  In most cases the ramp is on a 20 degree angle.  Some events measure the extremely flexible vehicles with a ramp of greater angle like the 23 degree ramp.  The vehicle attempts to climb the ramp as high as possible without lifting a wheel off the ground.  The distance the vehicle can travel up the ramp without losing contact with the ground is measured from the leading edge of the ramp to the center of the hub on the ramp.  That number is then divided by the vehicles wheelbase (the distance between the vehicles centerline of the front axle and the centerline of the rear axle) and then multiplied by 1000 to calculate the average.   For instance, if a vehicle with a wheelbase of 94 inches travels 62 inches up the 20 degree ramp then the RTI would be calculated as: 62" divided by 94" x 1000 resulting in a score of 659.  This method of multiplying by the vehicles wheelbase allows one vehicle to compete with another vehicle like a CJ-5 to an F-250 Crew Cab on the same ramp test.
 
While you can't "cheat" the ramp, you can get the most out of your shot at the ramp and in the process improve your vehicles ability to articulate the terrain.  One the the easiest things that can be done to improve your RTI slightly and improve trail performance is to "air down" the tires.  Airing down the tires to an air pressure of about half of the recommended tire pressure for normal driving will slightly improve your RTI score but more noticeably it will improve your the vehicles trail performance by smoothing out the bumps and allowing your meats to conform to the terrain resulting in better traction.  Some people air down to as low as 5 PSI on the trail however pressure this low can result in the tire bead separating from the rim.   As a result bead locks are used to hold the tire to the rim.  Always be sure to bring your air pressure back up to normal on-road driving pressure when you hit the road home again.  Another way to improve the score slightly and smooth out the ride involves only to grease between the leaf springs of the leaf spring pack.  Some folks say that this helps more than they would have expected when the hit the ramp.  Other ways of improving the RTI score such as sway bar disconnects, compound shackles such as Revolver Shackles, better suspension systems all help to improve not only the RTI score but the performance off-road.
How to measure your RTI score without a ramp.
So you don't have access to a ramp and you don't feel like building one.   How can you find out what your RTI score would be if it were tested on the ramp?   Since the RTI score is simply mathematics it can be measure and calculated without a ramp.  The RTI is a measurement of how high a tire can travel vertically you will need to safely raise one of the tires until one of the other tires almost comes off the ground.  This can be done by using a forklift with the tire resting on a pallet or by using a floor jack and the tire resting on a flat surface underneath which is the floor jack.  Be sure to do this safely. The main objective is to raise one wheel as high as possible before lifting a tire off the ground.  Once raised measure the distance between the bottom of the tire and the ground.  If using a fork lift you would measure where the tire meets the pallet to the floor.  Since a 20 degree ramp rises at .345 inches per inch divide the height of the lifted tire by .345 (for 20 degrees).   Next divide that number by your vehicles wheelbase.  Multiple that number by 1000 to acquire an average and you have your score.  While the ramp is a true measurement of your RTI this calculation is pretty close.  The calculator below does the math for you and allows for different ramp angles.

Big Tires fitted 2 (33x12.50x15)

 
Info from various forums:
 
"I have 33x12.50's on a 7" rim. I've had them for well over a year. I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone however"
 
"I run the same setup. NO problems that I'm aware of. What's the concern??"
 
" I'm running 33x12.50's on a 15x7 wheel . Can't really say that they're wearing strange. I try to rotate my tires often and I've had them well over a year now. "

Backspacing Definition 

Backspacing is the distance from the inside lip of the wheel to the surface that bolts up to the axle.

Standard Backspacing

 

"Standard" Backspacing is (in most cases) the smallest  backspacing that can be built without reversing the shell. It is also the backspacing that has been calculated as the best average of brake clearance and steering geometry for factory straight axle applications"

Measuring Wheel Offset  ( http://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html )

To calculate offset you'll need the following measurements:

Wheel backspace
Wheel Width
Wheel Center line (outboard flange to inboard flange measurement / 2)

Subtract:

Wheel center line from Wheel backspace to get offset.  
If backspace is less than the wheel centerline the offset is negative
If backspace is greater than the wheel centerline the offset is positive


Section Width
The linear distance between the outside sidewalls of an inflated tire without any load (exclusive of protruding side ribs and decorations).


Pajero  rims:

JJ15 x 7 JJ  Backspacing 4"= 100mm Offset  0mm

   15 x 8JJ  Backspacing 3.75" 95mm Offset -6mm *

(*not sure this is original mitsu rim does not fit the table)

 

 

This is a very good comparison of tire choices by Don poaster at 4x4Wire

Big tires fitted

2" of bodylift, minimal cutting and no rub on 36x14.5x15. I'm now running 35" BFG AT's on 10" rims and it's perfect, almost no loss of power and gears feel more normal.

 

See pix 36x14-5x15


35"12,5 BFG tires, no body lift, 2,5" suspension lift at the back ,torsion bars torqued and minimal cutting at the front, no rubbing and rides great

 

See pix 35x12-5  (the Red 3door Pajero)


2" body lift + 2.5" rear lift with torsion bar crank-up front 35x12.5x15 on 15x7 wheels


 

See pix 35x12-5x15--15x7wheels & lI---35x12-5x15--15x7wheels


Dueler A/T on the Bridgestone website:

    Mitsubishi Air Locker installation

    Vehicle: GenII Montero/Pajero, others similar

    Why not an ARB? ARB air lockers are pretty expensive here in Italy: 800 for the locker, 300 for compressor, switches, etc., 250 for install (ring & pinion setup). More, there are some hidden costs: here in Italy ring + pinion setup is not common work, so you have to find somebody that can do the work, take your diff to him (not on the weekend of course), lose a couple of working days, hope that he knows what he is doing...
