I've used machinehead 4x4 in the past on my paj, and they did a good job. -
Hello @Jakob T. Thanks for the question. Couldn't give you a batter answer than @Frederic's. I would say that if you (or the garage) don't have enough time to check fix your rear bumper, we'll find way to minimize any possible damage to it, if any may occur at all. Many Pajero's such has yours have come into the desert with Carnity, and exited unscathed π. Our philosophy is to teach off-roading skills so that members learn to maximize their knowledge based on their stock car, before they move on with modifications. Frederic's suggestions are just to better protect your car. I would add that it's best to remove the rear bumper even before you consider a rear skid plate, at virtually no cost. If you'll enjoy your outing, and wish to further pursue off-roading, than you can go one step further. Looking forward to seeing you.

Good morning @Jakob T and welcome to Carnity Offroad Club! The Pajero is totally fine for this trail, but there is just one weakness: the rear bumper scoops up a lot of sand during driving in the dunes and eventually comes off. The best solution is installing a rear skidplate. But if you don't find the time, an alternative option is to remove the rear bumper. Sounds like a lot of work but in reality i takes less than 10mins: If you however prefer to install a rear skidplate, Machinehead in Al Quoz does a fine job. @Pierre-andre Nutte also got one installed together with a front bashplate and flag holder bracket just last week on his stock Pajero. Before entering the sand you will need to deactivate the traction control as well. In below article you can see how that's done: You'll find plenty of information in our Pajero forum: Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE - Carnity.com We have plenty of them off-roading with us and they perform really well. See you soon in the sand! Please make sure to watch our Newbie briefing video to get a good introduction to offroading and how to prepare yourself.

@Nagarjun S after consulting with some of the seniors, they recommended the following while driving your Prado: 1. Keep the Center-Diff Lock engaged while driving. It will give you a better 50/50 power ratio between front and rear. 2. Use Sport mode (if you have that option). It disables the ECO mode function. Thanks @Glenn W and @Rob S for your help!

With the ongoing regional conflict affecting oil prices and creating uncertainty around fuel costs, Iβm curious to hear from EV owners and potential EV buyers in Dubai. Have the recent events made owning an electric vehicle more attractive to you compared to a petrol car? For existing EV owners: Have you noticed any impact on your daily EV charging routine or charging costs? Are public charging stations becoming busier? Do you feel more confident owning an EV during periods of rising fuel prices? Have you faced any issues related to charging availability or infrastructure? For those planning to buy a car, are higher petrol prices making you consider switching to an EV or hybrid? Would be interesting to hear real experiences from EV owners in Dubai and across the UAE.
