My New tow rig for the expanda

[t0ne]

Just got myself a 2006 Update GXL Turbo Diesel Cruiser, luckily for me it has only traveled 126,000km's in an auto.

Man it is a huge difference to the 2008 Pajero i had.

 

[twscoot]

Looks great!

 

[DWWood]

What was the tow capacity of the Pajero?

 

[t0ne]

It was 3T if i had a ball weight of 180kg, once it was over 180Kg ball weight it drops to 2.5T

 

[Pauly]

Smicko!!
Ya won't know ya self now!

Nice rig... there still asking top dollars too. nice choice

 

[17triton]

Wow that's low k's well done !!! They are a great rig.

 

[bigcol]

I like the 100's, they have a nice look about them

 

[Bushman]

Looks like a good pick up, well done.
That ball weight issue with the Pajero is a P.I.A as they are a great tow truck
I'm sure there's plenty of nomads out there towing with Pajero's flaunting the ball weight restrictions
Pushing it myself.:dizzy:

I did for a bit, loved the Pajero it did an awesome job, but luckily this came up at the right time.

some how I dont believe that

dunno why...............

some how I dont believe that

dunno why...............

Maybe I should re phrase that,
As in flaunting load limit restrictions for the PJ

maybe more along the lines of being under, just - as long as you dont have that second cake at morning tea.............

Gets the popcorn out.....

Great looking rig @t0ne. You must be stoked. Awesome kms......should last you a while.

 

[Dobbie]

Exciting!

Maybe I should sell mine......just turned over 30,000. But I can't afford another one.

You should have plenty of grunt. That sliding scale effect on GVM from tow ball reading is a bummer. We really have to keep an eye on it or not take many "necessary" items.

Looks great @t0ne . I'm looking for pretty much the same thing although may have to settle for one with a few more kms. Can I ask if you bought it privately and if so did you have someone inspect it?
Cheers, Shane

Luckily for me i work in the car industry, the guy traded it in with us and the week before he had just done a major service except the timing belt(so thats next for me).

I still had our mechanics go all over it and check it out, all i did was replace the rear pads.

At some stage he had poly air-bags in it and he popped both of these, but ill leave them in till i maybe replace them.

These things really are bullet proof if you can get a good one thats been well looked after.
