Hello Daniel

Welcome, great pictures. Brazil is a lot more lucky than us regarding our 4wd, you have a lot more aftermarket part than us. I hope that you are going to tell us a lot more to the how you lifted your car by 3" smiley. Hope to read a lot more about your TR4.

It looks like the small plate under the rear number plate, on the bumper, doesn't hold well....mine is lost too ...somewhere...

Happy io...TR4...

Thks!

Hey, Claud... well, your nickname is a very common first name here in Brazil.. "Claudio"... ;)

Thanks for your kind words..

Well, indeed we got some good parts here, since MMC Brazil is still making the Pajero TR4, which passed a "facelift" 2 yrs ago... I have a 2001 TR4 too (is my wife's car..)

I just posted some pics about my lift and a problem I saw with the tie rods, at the Lift Thread...

http://www.pajerio.com/forum/lift-options-tires-sizes-look-here-first#comment-11047

Maybe I'll get a new thread later, with all the fine tunnings I'm doing...

Cheers!

Thanks, Singlecell..

Where are you from?...

I love the 3d Pinin/iO models... But, we simply don't have those here in Brazil.... At the time we had here the iO's from Japan, it was all 5d... and when it became TR4, from MMC Brazil, still only available in 5d model... :(

Queensland Australia, its usally bone dry here so I dont usually get much mud to play in.  Although at the moment we are having a mini flood so there has been some opportunity to play!

Finally

I went offroad this weekend.... the official lifted test drive.... 

WOW.... The difference was HUGE!... I rode thru this trail about 1yr ago, with my other TR4 (2011, original) and had some big bad times.... This time the trail was harder due to raining season, an my lifted TR4 made it with no stress at all!!..

Some pics... (click the thumbnail to see more pics...)

What size tyres do you have on your car?, they look bigger than our standard size 215/65/16.

I got my TR4 on 225/70/R16 Toyo Open Country AT..... I know of a friend of mine's that mounted 235/70/R16, in original setup, no lift at all, but it was General Grabber AT, not Toyo

hey mate,i love your lift

hey mate,

i love your lift option. i am very keen to dot it, as i can get the material with no fuss, but im not confident on actually doing it myself, because ive never done anything like this before, and wouldnt know where to start. do you think you might be able to do a sort of step by step presentation for those of us that dont have the know how? or maybe point us to a website that has that information.
thanks.

Step-by-Step

For sure!

Right now I'm at work (Brazil',s time: 5:14pm)... 

As a note, I'm no way some kind of engineer. In fact I'm a doctor, anesthesiologist... ;)

Of course, I'm a self-learning man, and since I was a kid, I followed my father's mechanics free-time job. Indeed, that was what inspired me...

It's a pleasure to be considered to help anybody to change its vehicle.. and everything I made, was also with help from someone who have already made it. This is the way knowledge is build, and it is useless if you can't share....

As I always say, "Ordinary cars are for ordinary people".. ;)

 As soon as i got some time, I'll sum it up with my pics and post here for yoour consideration...

Cheers!

I really enjoyed that.

Love the multi camera shots.

Looks like you have excellent offroading areas.

What's up with the Suzuki & black Tr4 going around @ 12.00 min?

They should be ashamed of themselves.\"smiley\"

Cheers.

Hey buddies... new video from last weekends ride... this is the "Bicudo" trail, considered around here of medium grade. Maybe it was the first time a Pajero TR4/iO drive on this trail... \,,/

What can I say....whoa!! nice! nice!

I know that your tyres are still good but something a bit bigger and a bit more 4x4 only will make a BIG difference. (not, even, talking diff lock!). I am not sure about the choice of colour for the jeep, pink? really:). The passage at 7mn41sec was a bit limit for the io! No darling, he cannot be saved!!!!

Fun,fun,fun...=D> applause

Thanks Claude!

Here I go with some nucking futs video from our last ride.... enjoy!

I was going down on a HUUUGE down step and my colleague went after with his Troller (the orange jeep)... kind of too quick, an "almost" rollover!

almost?

I think he got lucky! I think that I would have ...turn around!

Don't you love that metal noise that the io makes while doing this sort of move! The bigger problem with this drop-of is that it is in the middle of a bend, and hard to approach properly (perpendicular to the drop, and NOT in angle) your colleague nearly learn the hard way!

Again, NICE,

Happy io

I know... the pics are useful to show the tread design only.... it's not a low profile it's a 225/75, that means, bigger than my actual 225/70

Nah... just did extensive research... 16" rims are sooo hard to find bigger tires... 245/75R16 fit but must put spacers..... and some mods on the wheel arch, and my TR4 is AT, which means it has not  the "highest" torque in the world...LOL... with 30.5 or 31" tires it would be like a turtle.... besides, I'm goin to keep my half-life nice TOYOS to use as a remold with an aggressive design, like yours, as soon as I could manage two sets... 

In fact it is a 29.3".... It misses only 1cm in the vehicle height compared to a 30"...

Ha....at last, some good rubber:) I don't know these tyres, but I think you are going to regret one thing....not buying them earlier:) you are going to drive a complete new car with them on!

The lift is not the only thing to able bigger tyres, as the lower strut plate won't allow anything bigger without spacer, or new rim with different offset.

Next d...l...!

They're Kumho's!

That tyre is exactly what I have fitted - same size even. Here in NZ and I think in Oz also they are sold as Kumho not Marshal brand.

I'm very happy with them.

I thought that I have seen the KL 71 somewhere! I have read some feedback about them and they seems to be a bit better than the bfg km2 on wet road. (only wet road...lol...wink)

Can you share your experience, on yet road at least?

Kumho on wet road

Claude - I think they perform very well off road, on road and in the wet I really have no idea if the level of grip they offer is more or less than any other MT tyre - all I can say is that so far the level of grip has been adequate - I don't expect them to have much grip so I take it very easy in the wet. It only gets used for local trips in the weekend so I'm never really in a hurry with it on road.

Daniel - can we get some more pictures?

Any chance you could post a couple of engine pictures?  I'm curious as to what changes have been made on the Brazilian production TR4s and I'd like to see especially where the air intake is - I want to see if a Barazilian snorkel will fit on a Japanese vehicle, maybe try to get someone to bring one across the border.

 

Thanks much

Sure, here it is... this is from my 2006AT engine coffin.... my 2011 AT air intake is exactley the same setup

YELLOE -> front air intake

That looks pretty much like what I see when I open the hood on my car - at least as far as the intake - I have the GDI engine so that part is different, but my guess is the snorkel should work.

My guess

My guess is that our snorkels wold be a plug'n play...

as a side note, IMHO the MIT iO/TR4 project is really well done. There's a huge contest and debate here in Brazil to see which SUV suits better for the offroad, between TR4 x Gran Vitara (generation II).... on GV's positive side is the body/frame setup, but I have ssen GV's air intake and it is DOWN ON THE WHEEL BOX!!!.... any 30cm of water could easily reach the air intake.... in iO/TR4 I have already passed as deep as the water breifly covering the hood (just some meters, some secondsof course) and have open the hood imeddaitely after. Air filter 100% dry, and absolutely NO SIGN of water into the air hoses...]

Cheers!

What do you consider a Gen II Grand Vitara?

The first Grand Vitaras were released in 1998 (1999 for the US market), and the second were released in 2006 - the 98~05 are body-on-frame trucks, the 06 and later are unibody (like the Pajero iO/TR4), so what you're descrbing is probably a first gen.

Yes the air intake is in the right side fender, but it's at roughly the same height as the intake on the iO (it's above the wheel) - I have both the iO and a 98 GV and you're going to need OVER 90cm of water to get to it.

Sorry

I guess you're right...

we have the Vitara here

and the Grand Vitara (gen I I guess?) that I was talking about

I didnt know the air intake was high... In fact I don't have one, I saw a friend's GV I who was showing me exactly this point, for me it seemed that the air intake hose was donw on the right fender.... may I assume it continues up into the fender, Fordem?

We have some pretty prepared GVs here too... ;)
