yayyy, well done & congrats @Luke K P , any drives will be lucky to have your Formula-1 Pitstop-speed skills 👍🔥

Nice one! Congrats @Luke K P. Well deserved

Yes looks like it will take more time so unfortunately i will not be able to join . i will remove myself.

@Gaurav I will have to excuse myself from the drive- have a few work commitments which most likely will flow into tomorrow, so want to avoid a last minute drop out situation. Have a great one!

Thanks @Frederic, I will 😉

Welcome to Carnity @juoffroad For now the drive is completely full, but if we have some drop-outs you could perhaps be lucky Keep an eye out.

Congratulations , and very well deserving mate @Luke K P ! Always admired your calm composed attitude and clear instructions on recoveries you were engaged in ! See you soon in sands in your new role

Technically the truth

You will be happy in the long run, if you don't modify your Pajero. As with extensive modification plans reliability goes down and that is the number 1 thing needed while off-roading to come back home in the same car. For Pajero, maximum I think body mods like a front bash plate and rear bumper skid plate are good to prevent sand scooping. If you plan to lift, do not exceed more than 2 inches, as it will increase the risk of rollover in dunes. Again this area is very subjective if you learn to drive properly only, otherwise with stock height you can roll if you are taking the wrong lines, or fighting gravity extensively without the rolling momentum. The bottom line, with stock height, most mistakes will be forgiven. With 2-inch height - some mistakes will be forgiven. Above 2 inches lift - most mistakes will not be forgiven. If you plan to off-road a lot with this car, opt for a slim profile and lightest roof rack and not big and bulky, as any added weight and height over the roof, will disturb the center of gravity and you will feel very tipsy on dunes and even on mountains. The paint job is always my personal preference over a wrap, as it's permanent, durable and looks real unless you intend to change color and try it out with a wrap. This is purely personal preference, nothing wrong with wrap tbh. 3.8 + SWB on Pajero is your good enough starting point, so don't overthink as that much power-to-weight ratio is reasonable and respectable among most good off-road-worthy cars.

Pls note that if you are not promoted by Saturday (which I know is unlikely now) you may not join this drive. I suppose the announcements come on Monday and hardly during the week.

@Frederic unfortunately new to pull out, car is in the garage until next week! Grrr what a bumper to have AC issues this time of the year with the great weather!
