so, mitsubishi pajero translates into a straw dealing masturbater?

Can't agree with the rot.

1993 Pajero against a 1994 Disco, and I know which one needs sills, body mounts, inner wings, boot floor and front footwells welding in..

That's right, the Disco.

The Pajero? Well that wants a rust scab rubbing down on the roof where I wedged it under a tree.

i must say of all the people i shoot with that drive 4x4's its mostly the land rovers that need welding. if i could get one for good money i would have a fourtrak but they arent exactly cheap for a good one

The early 110 was selectable 4x4. Basically the LT230 transfer box was modified so the diff lock simply engage front output with the actual diff "locked" (I've never managed to find what LR did). Only problem was it meant no centre diff so off road use only otherwise you get transmission wind up like a Series.I put 110 swivels, brakes etc on a Series axle (via machined adapters) and managed to get a pair of the original 110 Free Wheeling Hubs You can now get the parts, including the FWH's, from Ashcrofts - http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/miscellaneous/part-time-4wd-kits.html

early 2.25cc 110s had free wheel front hubs

not many 4traks left that are any good i looked for ages some with 12 months test but still needed a months worth of welding to sort out all the filler etc and bodges

thats exactly what i have found. i shoot with a guy that has a sportrak and he keeps saying that when it dies he is going to buy a brand new disco from our local stratstone but in the 10 years i think he has had it and abused it, it has only needed brake pads and one shock that was bent on a trip

Sportrack was only petrol though

I bought a Fourtrak with short MOT & tax a while ago as an engine & gearbox donor for a CJ5 I had at the time. Quite impressive - especially off road. Only problem was rot - body was falling apart and when it was removed I found chassis was also rotten on top surface that is normally hidden by body. After I sold the CJ5 I looked at quite a few Fourtrak's to see if I could get a decent one but no joy. Mine was a narrow track with beam axles so don't know if the later wide track / independent are more rust resistant but don't like the look of the huge wheel flares.
FWIW I had a SWB hardtop Vitara for a year or so and only got rid because not big enough to carry my mobility scooter. A LWB diesel Vitara could be worth considering - mate has a later (around 2004) Grand Vitara model and that is better than my Discovery in many ways
