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

Good onya Darren, thanks! I hope it gives you some inspiration.

Nice work Pete

Great, thanks, I hope it helps you with some ideas and best wishes for your overlanding expeditions!

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.

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/

@@peterm3533 yea i’m tryin to figure out the layout in my swb gen4,…..gotta be crafty with space, learning from your setup. Thanks man!!

Your'e welcome Emil, I hope it provides some inspiration....

Definitely i will subscribe too. Wonderful work Peter 🎉

Thanks Tommy, I hope it may provide you with a few ideas for touring.

Thanks Steve, hope it provides inspiration....

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.

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.

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.

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, you can get them at Reece Plumbing, there's stores in many locations. www.reece.com.au/

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.

@@peterm3533 grt thank you

I will ask Peter for you as he is with me at present on my Bremer Bay Tour!

@@RedtrackTours thank you so much !

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/

@@peterm3533 wow, thanks for your thoughtful detailed response. Love your work, very well though out and organised. Cheers mate.

@@TheHobsonic thanks Brenton, hope it gives you some ideas and good luck on your travels....

@@TheFugunator thank you

Haha, I dunno dars0n but it took me quite a few weekends to get it sorted....
