I bought the 80 with only a handful of basic mods. Stuff like suspension, bullbar and snorkel. Since owning the 80, I’ve added the following: GME XRS; towing mirrors; Stedi driving lights; Drifta awning; Stedi LED headlight upgrade; blacked-out grille; black D-shaped sunnies; 12-volt system; Roadsafe recovery points; Brass Monkey centre console fridge; Rock lights; and a part-time kit with AVM hubs. It’s my daily drive and a work in progress, future mods I would like to do include an aluminium roof rack, an Ocam rooftop tent and awning, a rear bar, and a set of sliders - Shane Jenkins

On Country With Mick’s Mitsubishi Pajero has had a makeover. All of the old fishing club stickers are removed and the car is now sprayed in Predator Protective Coating, the roof basket has been replaced with a platform, and more lights and GME UHF gear has been added, including a 140ah lithium battery - Mick Graham

This photo was taken on top of Big Red after I’d completed a double crossing of the Simpson Desert – west via QAA, Knolls, Rig Road and French Line, and then east via the Madigan Line, south on Hay River Track and then the QAA back to Birdsville. Loved the trip. Car went great. It has EFS suspension all around; a Catch Can; Direction plus fuel filter; Ironman bull bar and winch; 200ah lithium in the canopy powering a 65-litre upright fridge and 40-litre freezer via a DCDC charger; and 160w solar on the roof keeping it topped up via a Victron MPPT running parallel to the Redarc charger - Paul Snee

I’ve had the 80 Series for 19 years and I’ve done the Cape three times, far western Queensland and South Australia twice, and a lap of Australia in 2020/21. Now lapping it up in the NT since 2021. Great old rig - Tim McMaster
