Thanks Nap and Clacier! Yes, the on board compressor makes life a bit easier. One of the reasons I did that was when you inflate 4 tyres, the compressor builds up quite a bit of heat. Then, you have to wait a while before packing it away, or risk burning something. Under the bonnet it is protected and the heat is not a problem. It's far enough away from any heat source there too, being right up aginst the firewall. Another advantage is that you can run heavy cable to it, so you don't get any volt drop, which is common with long power leads (often under-rated) and alligator clips that compressors are usually supplied with. The other major advantage is that air is always on board, so if you do happen to be in a situation where you need to deflate, you can do that without having to remember to bring the compressor. The third and final advantage is it allows you to plumb in a little air tank. I have a 4 litre Scintex tank, it is quite small but gives you enough air to use an air nozzle to blow the dust out of the back of the car. Here's the one I have. It fits neatly behind the grille on the Pajero. www.scintex.com.au/products/portable-air-compressor-tank
One of the best I’ve seen Peter, as mentioned the workmanship is amazing. The attention detail is phenomenal I’m super impressed with what you’ve done. I wish I was half as handy as you
Fantastic job, Peter! If only you could go into details of the folding table in rear door. This is the neatest one I've seen! And that spice shelf! OMG! Thinking about fitting one in my Pajero, so pretty inspired with your's!
Outstanding workmanship. I recently bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero for overlanding with my wife. These vehicles are harder to find here in the states, but surprisingly affordable compared to Toyota or Jeep. I love everything about what you did, and more importantly, why. I may need to borrow some of these ideas, but I will pay my respects in advance. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Dizzyish, yep, its always good to use the space you have effectively. These days I look for any nook or cranny and think hmmm, what can I stash in there? But I'm always mindful of weight, its easy to carry stuff you don't always need and it all adds up - surprisingly so. Since this video I have added a rear shelf too, this sits above the fridge and Travel Buddy, it's great for light stuff like paper towelsm stubby holders and walking poles, led cam light etc. I made my own out of an old aluminium window security screen, however you can get them from Kaon - see www.kaon.com.au/
I've meet this mate today and it was my pleasure to meet the owner of the Redtrack Tours. Very accommodating and hope to join the tour very very soon. I can't wait! please visit his website for schedule of the tours. Thank you once again mate.. more power to Redtrack Tours 😎🤙
brilliant build Peter, some great ideas and finer points to inspire us starting on the build journey - I sense and engineering background, based on your level of thought 👌
Looks great, the only thing I would comment on is that the factory rails are only rated for 70kgs and with what's up there, you'd be close to your limit already. Maybe think about upgrading your rails to after market metal ones to increase your payload on the roof.
Thank you Alan, yes, a bit of trial and error with some experimentation and I'm happy with the end result. None of these concepts are original, what I have found is that the internet abounds with all sorts of ideas from some very inspirational and resourceful people and the trick is to learn from them and adapt the fitout to suit your circumstances and budget.
Snap. I converted my 2010 pajero sport with same functionality albeit in a different way. Currently have a 50l water and pump with tap and shower and two independant lithium battery and fridges with separate solar panels. Long distance fuel tank, full 270 deg awning convert able to tent and rooftop electric deploy bundu tent. Opens lotsa possibilities not dragging a trailer. Also designed similar slide drawers and laser cut for a friend's jimny.
I almost had my first Pajero setup the way it suited me for camping and 4x4. Sadly it got written off when another car went through a give-away sign. It has 2" lift, Boos BashPlates, ARB steel bull bar and winch, fabricated rock sliders. I mistake I made was putting in a long range fuel tank. Dual battery system, side awnings. I had upgraded the headlights from MARS. Diff breathers and snorkel. Now I am starting again. Sadly I wasn't fast enough to buy the wreck from the insurer.
@@EdwardQuixote The long range tank was prone to scraping it had a few rock gouges in it, as it hangs down a bit low. It did increase my range but not really made for rock hopping.
Thanks Ian, I hope it gives you some ideas. So far it has been really great for us. The only thing I would change now if doing it again is to incorporate lithium batteries in the design, much lighter and more efficient than the heavy AGM I have in there. Mind you that AGM Baintech Power Top battery has been awesome, its 5 years old now and still works well. You can get some great lithium batteries now in slimline format, which gives you some more mounting options.
@@peterm3533 Absolutely BRILLIANT. I wish I was electrically and mechanically minded as you!. I can't decide if the top mounted solar panel pull out or removeable storage is my favourite!. Thanks for showing us your setup, truly jealous - all the best.
Did you make the wings yourself, or purchase them from somewhere? I’m currently building out my gen 4 Pajero. Would you be able to send me all the dimensions for the water tank?
Hi Craig, the rear door speakers are standard in the Pajero that has the premium Rockford Fosgate sound system. Mostly this is in Exceed or VRX models in Australia. Mine is an NW 'Activ' which also had the premium system.
Hi Gavin, the speakers are standard in certain models of Pajero, including VRX, Exceed, and mine, which is called an Activ. Any Pajero that is quoted as having the 'premium sound system' will have them. Its a Rockford Fosgate system. The speakers are great, although the amplifiers have been known to cause problems with parasitic drain on the battery. Mine did this and I replaced it with a Kenwood amp and modern Kenwood head unit. The standard Mitsubishi one is OK in NX models, has Android Auto/Apple Car Play etc, but mine is an NW and the unit in it was a dinosaur. The Kenwood is awesome. Fully integrates with smart phone and has DAB.
Hi Gerald, the table is one I made from 12mm marine plywood, finished with iron on edge banding. The surface is painted with hard wearing satin black, and the underside (which faces outwards when it is folded up) is covered in black car carpet. This not only looks nice, but you can velcro anything you like to it. I removed the standard Pajero rear door cover which is flimsy plastic. Then I cut some 12mm ply to the shape of the Pajero rear door panel, and made a little shelf which fits into the well normally occupied by the tool bag. On this I place a few bits and pieces like tea bags, spices and so on. This ply is fixed to the original Pajero interior door trim with rivet nuts and stainless fasteners. I also made a little door so I could access the space behind the plywood. This space is only small but it holds some tools and other small things. I then made the table and attached it with stainless strap hinges. It is held horizontal by two stainless cables. These I make up using shark fishing trace and electrical terminals, which are strongly crimped, then a bit of heat shrink to finish it off. I used the original Pajero concept for securing the table in an upright position. To achieve this, I installed some threaded inserts into the table, then used plastic knobs with threads. Attached to the threads are small piece of flat bar that slot into the original Pajero slots when you turn the plastic knob. If you look at the standard Pajero one you can see how it works. With my adaptation, its great because you can tension the adjustment on the table so it snugs up against a couple of rubber bumpers - no rattle at all, and it stays put even on very rough tracks. This is a very handy little table to have, and it doesn't take up much room or weigh a lot. All the stainless hardware I obtained from Whitworths in Leederville. They have a really great range of stainless fittings that you can't find in other hardware stores. Check out www.whitworths.com.au/
What an amazing setup, so many great ideas all perfectly executed. The water tank and plumbing really is mind blowing.
The slide out solar panel is brilliant.
How Peter set-up his Pajero is wicked. I'm also impress how he fitted the on-board air compressor inside the hood.

Good onya Darren, thanks! I hope it gives you some inspiration.
Nice work Pete
Quality build, I'm in the process of renovating my old inherited 1993 pajero. Getting inspiration from folks like Peter is giving me some good ideas
This has to be one of the best thought out set ups I have seen.

Great setup, very inspiring, well done Pete!
This is an awesome setup! Nice one Peter!
Genius, the mods done on the Pajero is fantastic. Awesome mate and thanks for sharing!
I had the same thought for the solar panel under the rack. Nicely done.
Yes, Jason, it works well! You can buy them fully assembled from Dunn and Watson, just have to mount it to your rack. Good luck with it.
Brilliant and very well organized!!
Good stuff gents. Very informative and practical set up.
Awesome build!!! Love the clever usage of space.

Very interesting video and thanks for sharing
Your'e welcome Emil, I hope it provides some inspiration....
Best set up I ever seen
Peter needs a channel and to do a full run through and maybe some tutorials damn I subscribe in an instant
Definitely i will subscribe too.
Wonderful work Peter 🎉

Thanks Tommy, I hope it may provide you with a few ideas for touring.
Very clever design.
Thanks Steve, hope it provides inspiration....
Awesome pajero peter! where was the rear drop down table from?
I have a 2002 Exceed, 3.8Lt petrol. Not sure about water crossings and independent suspension all round.
Brilliant

Greetings, could you indicate if the water pump you use for the water tank is 45 psi or 60 psi?
Thank you
Very cool and great use of spaces, only downside is it’s a Pajero, GO TOYOTA

Where did you get all your fittings and pipe for the water tank?
How long would it take to remove just the drawers? I'm Also looking to buy an easily removable setup

Sorry this happened.
Why was it a mistake putting in a long range fuel tank?
@@EdwardQuixote The long range tank was prone to scraping it had a few rock gouges in it, as it hangs down a bit low. It did increase my range but not really made for rock hopping.
Is this setup possible in the short wheelbase version of the pajero?
WOW !... When can you fit my NX 2018 in??? ha,ha. What a great set up!!!

Impressive setup !
How can we contact him please ?
I have a pajero and if we can share the designs that would be awesome 👍
Hello, I would love to get some more information in regards to the under rack solar panel please!
I will ask Peter for you as he is with me at present on my Bremer Bay Tour!
@@RedtrackTours thank you so much !

this ir porno. looking to get my 2005np kitted out even half as good
Peter, I'm based in Perth as well. Interested in doing something similar. Any chance of getting in contact and picking your brain ?
how much money do I need to throw at Peter for him to do all of this to my NX
Haha, I dunno dars0n but it took me quite a few weekends to get it sorted....
Wow that’s a lot of work . I’m the opposite keep it simple
Great work 👍🏻👍🏻if doesn’t look as neat as this in my pajero.
