Pajero body size to a jeep

[Raven211252002]

I purchase a pajero body off ebay complete and I found a site that sells a jeep frame and wanted to know if the jeep was about the same size as the pajero i plan on putting this on body on a frame and building a 1.9 scale truck but before i do i want to know the sizes so i know what ill have to do

they share the same chassis set to the same wheelbase so likely your idea would work.

You just move the rear shocks and lower links back one hole on the chassis to fit the Jeep body.

jeep and pajero are same 9.5" wheel base so they use the same short wb settings.

Huh? On mine I have to move it back to get the back wheels to line up on the Jeep?

Well, measure your body wheelbase, center of arch to center of arch.
Its my understanding the only bodies that use the longer 10.5" wb setting are the long discontinued MU and the Touareg. Pajero and Wrangler were supposed to be 9.5" wb each.
If you got one handy, measure it. I'm curious now.

I have both, let me check them real quick. Hope this isn't another one of my late night (me being stupid) brain farts!

Ok, I made the right call this time The Pajero is 9 1/2" and the Jeep is 10" So yea, the lowers and shocks get moved.

My Jeep body uses the swb, I tried the lwb but the rear tires were way off.

[TattooKenny]

Guess it just really depends on what tire your going to run. The Jeep is longer though. When I put the Jeep body on with Axial 1.9's and Out Croppers the WB was to short....

thanks for the info yeah i plan on buying a frame from the ultimate crawler store rcrockcrawling.com with a set of d40 axles for a more scale look and plan on a 2 speed r2 tranny with the rooster crawler combo and go with 1.9 tires

The wheelbase on the CC-01 chassis are the same, 9.5" although if you are building using just the body you will need to keep the Pajero at 9.5" and it's really easy to punch out the front end to closer to 10" on the Jeep.

I thought that the CRV was long wheelbase too, not that it matters, even if you could get one why would you want one.

as far as the manuals go. they are the same WB and share the same mounting holes

Well you can see in my picts that the Jeep is longer by 1/2" on the WB. Mounting of the body is the same yea. Again, guess it comes down to what tires you run....

[romulus22]

i do believe the jeep does have around a 10" WB.
if you look at a stock CC01 jeep the front wheels are kinda far back in the front wheel wells.
