@Plinius Anselmo On how many psi you've deflated while driving in UAE sand?

My gps record 😅. Thank you for the recovery everyone 🙏.

I am a Jeeper but have many friends with Pajies. Along withe the bash plate I would remove/replace the sidesteps with something more streamlined as well. I have never seen a Pajero owner who goes off-road without sidesteps that aren't bent. They are the first things to go when you crest or do straight ups and downs. Removing them will give you some extra clearance as well. Other than that Pajero is sturdy as hell... no mods needed apart from maybe a set of geolanders.

A couple of bash plates is all you will require for light offroading and camping... recommend keeping as many stock parts as possible as @Gaurav mentioned. and if getting 3rd party parts.. find the official distributor in UAE and use them only. You will get genuine parts and not need to buy them twice (along with other repairs when the replicas break down) You can go a long way in the rank/levels of carnity off-roading club with your standard relatively unmodified SWB pajero. it will do the job just fine!

With air filter marginal gain, risk of blowing the engine is a huge trade-off. If you opt for one, make sure the air filter housing and plumbing is always secured (not leaking) and the neck is flexible, as when these things fail, the engine sucks free-flow sand - very common failure point. Stock rims are safer, as most aftermarket will break or have an unbalance issue. If you still want, go with a top-notch brand with "OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTOR" as many (or most) tire shops sell fake replicas. For tires, any lightweight AT tire is a must for offroading - Yokohama Geolander, Michelin LTX force, Cooper AT3 are good. That's the only thing we don't to stay unbiased. You can check good garage based on Google reviews very easily or through business listings here.
