  • Pajero Replacement?

    Runour going around is they are replacing the pajeros. Haven't heard anything official but could be some truth since nissans are being taken away and pajeros are restricted to roads/tracks and not allowed off road

      Must have changed the policy again then
      At one point nothing was being wadied on the 10 year rule unless anything major had to be done, cost wise, to them

        why would these 4x4's not be allowed off-road?

          Because they are shit! Just because something is 4x4 doesn't mean that it's capable of going off-road. All they are is fancy officer transportation devices.

            Exactly as FM said. Ground clearance is crap and the tow hitch is low and a protrudes a decent bit from the car which means it can go up sudden and sharp inclines.... Also I think there something to do with the radio in the rear under the floor and Iv heard of water getting into it and causing sparks and potential fire

              How did they not notice this when they were trialling it? Or for the trials did it not have a tow hitch fitted?

                First time I saw a Pajero in a Bks, the poor ground clearance was the first thing that struck me about it

                    Ground clearance is no different than any other civilian 4x4 type painted green. I think the problem may be the horrific wheels they decided to fit.
                    For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                      Back axles keep breaking.Engine maintenance is a pain.Too small for fully equipped troops on the likes of CIT.
                      Ford Rangers being introduced to specialist units and as stores vehicles.
                      "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

                        What's left to buy in terms of Civvy jeeps then? Would the Landcruiser V8s be way out of the DFs pricerange? New Patrols wouldn't meet the euro emission regs I think(they're still made for non european markets)

                          Oops....

                          Too small for fully equipped troops on the likes of CIT.
                          Given the amount of kit that was issued in parallel with them i.e. vests etc nobody seems to have factored all that stuff in.

                          So whats the standard overseas soft skin 4x4?

                            Surely the days of using civilian vehicles in a military role is gone. There are numerous unarmoured soft skin military vehicles on the market. G Wagen for starters. But ideally, 7 seaters are old hat. Get a pickup with crew cab big enough for 4 adult european humans. Patrols, Land Cruisers , even Rangers are fine for bringing the pony to the gymkana with Lottie and her chums Tiffany and Quentin, but were never designed to allow 4 or more fully equipped soldiers travel and egress the vehicle in a tactical manner.

                            Gwagen. Sell the Mitsu "wankers" as a job lot before it's too late.

                              What about that "Spanish Humvee" that the DF had a few years ago, would that be fit for purpose?
