I work in a factory, so we always have leftover pieces of scrap lying around. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

asifk Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Any idea if this type of fix would impact the warranty from al habtoor ? My Paj still has some sort of warranty cover. thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case I wouldn’t think so but if you want to be sure you can easily unbolt the rear part with the 4 bolts you can see on the picture before you go into the dealership! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In such a case this fix is not needed. On 3/22/2020 at 12:07 PM, Srikumar said: yes, the tow bar ensured that the entire aluminium lip doesnt come off, but still it got bent. It would be good to get a permanent fix for it. @Srikumar Please see the images below of tow bar I have it for my Pajero. Do you still stink I should have plates? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mels Wolf Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 @RohanH, It’s a risk... I know that @Frederic also even though having a tow hook added something here as the bumper on steep descending still scoops and can break... Is breaking the bumper risk worth the 450 aed... in my case it was.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also assumed that due to the tow bar the risk for damaging the rear bumper was low, but at some point it still popped out. I have put a stainless steel plate on both sides that’s bolted onto the tow bar and the bumper. It basically avoid the sand from entering so the « scooping » cannot occur. 1 1 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Srikumar Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 @RohanH that tow bar would help a bit, but it doesn't eliminate the entire problem as there is a gap where the sand can enter the aluminium lip and the aluminum part is still held only with 4 screws. I would recommend a proper plate that covers and supports the aluminum lip 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RohanH Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Is it ok to use front Bumper guard instead of front bash plates. Please advise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 The front bumper guard is more to protect the front side of your bumper, while bash plates are made to protect the bottom underneath. In the desert I don’t see the value of having a front bumper guard. Bash plates will definitely help to protect you. 3 1 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
