Cheers mate, I'm going to miss the interior space of the Pajero, I built a set of drawers and dual fridge slides with a storage space behind the rear seat in the rear of the Pajero, by the looks of it this isn't going to work in the GC due to the lower roof height and the short roof length in the rear.
It's odd that the Jeep is so much bigger in length and width yet so much less interior space...

I signed on the line for 2010 Paj Diesel...lovely interior space as you say....took it for a test drive as there wasnt one on the showroom floor, in the diesel format, when I said 'yes'....I found the seating position and drivers seat adjustments very poor, which directly matched the under performance of the diesel which also seemed to effect the ride...was like a drunken wombat, even got out and checked it didnt have one, or two, flat/under inflated tyres...what a let down !.....ended up buying a Honda CRV...less space but 'better'...if you can relate....these rigs are way better than either of those two...for the purposes I need atm....I dont go the drawers and fridge in the back fixtures so the limited rear cargo area isnt a factor...but....I can most certainly relate to what your saying in the comparison between the Paj n our buses

How hard is it to drop the rear bumper? Ours has the parking sensors fitted as well....

Park sensors are on a Deutsch plug on the passengers side directly atthe back of the bumper, can be accesed from underneath. have not removed the bumper myself but if it is anything like the front then only a few minutes, i would imagine.
Youtube is you friend here.

Not hard just a pain pulling the plastic rivets and such ...... while this isn't the page I originally looked at for ideas its close to what I did to get at the bolts on my hitch, no cutting of the plastic bit though. https://www.jeepforum.com/threads/mo...uired.4326493/
