Dear Confirmed members @Luke K P @ChrisW @Giacomo @Aser @Sam Selim + @Andrew John Melvill ( Added you since this is your only drive I see for Weekend) Can you please revisit your plans, keeping in mind personal commitments and vehicle condition. and update RSVP if any changes to your confirmation , since we have 2 more gentlemen in Waitlist. ( @Shahid Mehmood @Beide Worku) Considering the terrain, and planned drive, I would like to keep it a short convoy and with confirmed members its already 7. A no-show would really be disappointing, unless last minute valid reasons . Thank you and looking forward for a great Sunday ahead !

Great topic, @Mike M. – definitely one to laugh and learn from! I still remember my near flip in Liwa a few years ago — all thanks to a rush of overexcitement. I spotted this massive, tall dune and thought, “Why not attempt a sidey? Even reaching 70% height would be thrilling!” As I started the side slope, the car kept climbing effortlessly. At around 95%, I got greedy and decided to switch it up — let’s try a criss-cross! Big mistake. As soon as I crossed over, both wheels on the driver’s side went airborne. It was that classic “Oh no” moment. But by sheer luck or divine intervention, the car landed back on all four wheels just in time. When I stepped out and looked at my tracks, I saw over 5 meters missing from the driver’s side. I just sat down on the sand for five minutes… letting the adrenaline settle.

My Solo Adventure to to the top of Jabal Yanas! (Or close to it :)) The drive to Jabal Yanas started off beautifully, as usual, relatively smooth rocky roads and breathtaking views. But things took a thrilling turn when I decided the third time to push further and head up, as close as possible, towards the peak. Along the way, I passed a remote village (reachable only thru equipped 4x4s) nestled between two majestic mountains. It was like stepping into a hidden gem — about 20 impeccably maintained houses, nicely maintained and high-end farming land, tucked away from the world, untouched by the usual bustle. The serenity and the beauty of that place stayed with me long after I left it behind. As I continued, the trail grew steeper, the path narrowing, and soon enough, my mobile connection vanished. That’s when the real challenge began. I reached a very steep climb, somewhat close to the peak. Climbing in 4LO, every inch forward was a test of skill and nerves. The break at the top point was breathtaking, yet i was the only human for miles. The ascent was tough, but the descent was what truly tested me. The trail back was dangerous and unforgiving. Some descents were so steep that i had to use the emergency brakes to keep some control over the car, not to fall off the narrow roads, and I also had to make sure my brakes do not overheat. For 30 to 45 minutes, my mind raced with thousands of what-if’s — every possible danger playing on repeat. I will NEVER recommend going off-roading alone, unless you’re fully prepared physically, mentally, and your gear is up to the challenge. Even then, don't do it! Sometimes even all that isn’t enough when you’re by yourself. For me, despite the fear, I still cherish these solo trips. They are my go-to place, my mental therapy. This trip changed how I approach my solo adventures. Now, I make sure to have at least one more car with me — safety in numbers, especially when the adventure turns extreme.

Perfectly well stated, as a learning lesson for all leads, stick to the plan and go for another attempt if in two minds. The exit line was brutally covered in tons of super soft powdery sand, losing all power instantly, no matter how I tried with or without center diff-lock, 2nd gear, even in Lo with 3&4 gear. After multiple attempts, we even tried to cool off the car, but still, I couldn't beat the soft patch on the incline; it was like climbing up the slip face. Last resort TEAMWORK (always shine bright). Pajero_in_a_bowl.mp4.c401c62411349770d28e87f1627b4f9c.mp4

Something i learned from my mentor @Gaurav: 1. Visualize your entry and exit points before attempting. 2. Once you commit: do not hesitate (this could result in panic steering or even braking)... At the end we all like to "play" with nature, and sometimes when we are being overconfident, it will gently slap you on the wrist. At that point in time, be humble and respectful. That's why ego cannot have any place in offroading.

Oh no oh yeah for me unforgettable oh no moment ! It was in Wagan at Pajero Bowl when separated me from nasty roll over a thin line of instinct and luck ( two clips one from out side taken by @Zed and on other from the cabin dash cam ) https://share.icloud.com/photos/03adbElyX0Xw-54o7WcknADrg

Freddy prior to leading himself; GOOSE After becoming a lead and feeling responsible for everyone in my convoy: MOTHER GOOSE

Found the LIWA drive video from Feb2020: That big sidey started at 2.30 with attempts from most.

I have been lucky and blessed so far to have had no serious technical breakdowns in the desert so far. I do remember this one big sidey we did in Liwa where i got a bit too excited and we kept trying to climb higher and higher. The video below shows the sidey which worked out fine, but on my way down my little Pajero suddenly felt like fishtailing a bit, which was a bit of a scary moment and by sheer luck and instinct i was able to steer into it and correct it. The descent however was way too fast, and i realized only later that i got lucky. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Omvp0h_PG5j_5cWYdTVQa5NoAV2Gb9Ld-eHA0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Since moving over to the Trooper, which is a top-heavy and bouncy off-road thing, i have become a lot more careful. With the Pajero i always felt like i was 100% in control of the car and where to point it, but the Trooper has a mind of its own and is sometimes all over the place. Not fun when you want to ride ridges at massive heights. 😐

Another one I can rem (with pics & video) going in a huge bowl and not able to come out. Al Quaa - Dec 2018 Last 50 meters, I have to winch myself out (winch line + 3 tow ropes) 1105546011_PajeroBowlRecovery.mp4.f15274f467a5a43f960fcd16551d14dc.mp4

This was my biggest case of “famous last words”. Luke, Zeddy and I did a short local drive by ourselves, and I mentioned before we started that I’d just had a winch fitted and wanted to try it out. Luke very kindly offered me the opportunity… 😂 Happily the winch works great and Luke was the first in a long list of happy customers!

Thank you @Luke K P @Jose Luis Campos @Andrei S @M.Seidam @Davie Smooth_Operator thanks to all the leaders

Great to see you guys get going on the next level- it makes me very happy and hope to drive with you all at the soonest. All the best. God bless.

Well done @Ishak! Today is all about Pajero Power 💪💪 Congratulations and hope.to see you soon in the sand!!!

The best thing you can do to yourself is to learn how to offroad with a Pajero. You master that and you will be able to fly through any track in any possible car. What @Gaurav mentioned to you about lines are the key and the secret ingredient. I used to have a Pajero and I was able to stay very close with the best of them. In the 2.5 years of owning the Pajero there was one or two hills i was not able to do. The pajeros are usually underpowered vehicles relative to their weight. What that means is that you have to compensate in skills what you lack in power. Once you become a true Pajero driver, you will see lines that no other driver can see. Remember me on this statement while it sounds too philosophical: "Not every Pajero Owner, is a true Pajero Driver". After some time and as your driving skills get sharpened, you will see lines that no other driver will see. This is unique only to "Pajero Drivers". Enjoy your discovery journey to mastering driving and not relying on machine power. Hope this helps !

Same happened to me in Liwa and I caught it on film. It was at the end of the day when everyone was setting up camps. I decided with a few others to give it one last run. Huge mistake too. Didn't ride the crest before switching I just did what mike did and it was nearly a disaster. Lesson for me was know when to quit and know your limits. From that day on if there is someone in not comfortable with I will not even entertain the idea. When I find the video I'll post a link here. After the even the adrenaline was pumping. It wasn't good.

So my biggest “oh no” moment that I caught on camera is probably this one. Left side is forward view and right side is looking backwards. Very simple…tall ridge crossing, super soft on top, @Zed managed to miraculously pop across the top of the ridge without breaking it for me (😂), and I didn’t anticipate just how quickly my front diff would plough the ridge and bring me to a stop (you can see the approach speed was fairly high…but the momentum disappeared super quick). What made this an “oh no” rather than an “oh <choose your expletive here>” is @Marek leaving enough room to also come to a stop, and the car behind him in turn having the room to turn down. Great lesson in giving yourself enough distance to watch, think and react.

well done @Luke K P for crossing off one of the Lead bucket list: you haven't led a convoy yet if you haven't nose-dived yet 😂😂😂

oh i was definitely stuck in a ditch 😅

Oh-no, or oh-LOL! 😅 @Zed @ChrisW

Many people have doubts about which engine type of Pajero they should buy, and specifically which will perform best in the desert. Mitsubishi provides the engine performance curves on their brochure but as they are not comparative i wanted to compare the 3.5 6G74 , and 3.8 6G75 engines from the 4th Generation Pajero (2008 till YTD). In above charts you will see the performance of both engines with Output in Kilowatts and Torque in Nm. When you layer these over each other you will get the following: Conclusive results: Output kw or Horsepower: The 3.8 engine performs the best with a max output of 250Hp at 6000rpm, while the 3.5 engine reaches its peak output of 189Hp at 4,750rpm. Up to 4500 rpm both engines react and perform quite similar, which would indicate for driving in the dunes they will perform similar, except for hill climbs where you will need to go beyond that rpm. The 3.8 clearly has the upper hand at that point. Torque: Again the 3.8 shows higher torque values with a max. of 327Nm at an rpm of 2,750rpm, while the 3.5 model reaches 306Nm at 3,750rpm. In Carnity Offroad Club we have seen 3.5 Pajeros performing very well, and while the 3.8 engine has the upper hand when it comes to high-rev hill climbs, they are both capable offroad engines that will do well in the right hands. Purpose of this topic is to consult your engine performance and try to find the "sweet spot" in at which your engine and torque level would be the best for that particular application. From these charts it is quite clear that the 3.5 engine needs to be used more on a lower rpm range and with the proper momentum. Of course these values are theoretical and one will find big differences between each vehicle depending on how well it was maintained, how old the engine is, or if there are issues with the vehicle (spark plugs, injectors, air filter issues). We have plenty of Pajero owners, so let's discuss and learn from each other !

Most Congrats @Ishak well done

“We’ve all had that one moment… stuck on a crest, lost a convoy, forgot to deflate, overheated, or took the wrong line into a bowl 😅 Drop your most unforgettable ‘Oh No’ desert moment — bonus points for photos or videos. Let’s laugh, learn, and admit we’ve all been there 🙌”

Congratulations Ishak!

Well done!! congrats! Luke

@Luke K P today is all good news!! Very well deserved Luke. I really enjoy my drives with you! Congrats and see you soon in the sand!

Great work @Ishak 👏

Man this music makes me want to go right now in my rental car to liwa. Excellent video!!! Freddy I have never seen you drive like this!! That was crazy!

In my opinion, the 3.5 is definitely not underpowered if it's in a SWB model. Of course, the 3.8 will give you that extra punch. If you have purchased that Pajero recently i would recommend to verify a couple of things which might optimize your power. It could be that some horses are sleeping in the car. 1. All fluids (transmission, differentials, engine oil, coolant). When were these last done? 2. Injectors. Have they ever been cleaned? This can transform many sluggish cars back into their previous power specs. 3. Spark plugs. When were they last replaced? The original ones are fine. 4. Tire pressure: better flotation on the sand will mean less power needed to climb. Get some AT tires which are not too heavy and drive on 10-11psi. It will definitely improve. 5. Use of D vs Tiptronic. I always found the D setting on the Pajero transmission to be slow. Once i moved to using Tiptronic and especially when climbing, it kept the car in the same gear and i could go full out, while in D it decided to upshift or downshift at all the wrong possible times. 6. Cold air intake makes more noise, not a lot more power on Pajeros. If there are any gains they will only appear on the top end range and will be marginal in my opinion. 7. Car could be lazy from previous owner. Drive it more in the sand and make it stretch its legs

The first step in off-roading is to know how to drive in the desert. The second step is to know which lines to follow, match to an inch with perfection. Lines are everything in the sand, inch wrong line and you will still struggle with most cars. Watch every move of the lead car carefully and make a conscious effort to match those lines. If you can't make a second or third attempt until you perfectly match those lines. Try this first in the next few drives, and then decide whether to change the car or not.

Hi @Kashx2, 3.8 will make a diffrence but not much, also depends on your skills, but if you going to change your gear, I would suggest getting something that you wont question youself again, like xterra, prado,jeep etc, extra mods wont make a big diffrence, better save it for another gear , good luck

Seems to be a trend here haha "liwa"

We need to create banners with this statement and promote it for all outdoor lovers: ”Check your ego at the asphalt!”

Thanks Luke

@khurramm I believe it is 6:30 meeting. The 09:30 on the calendar is a typo.

Thinking of coming with “Beasty” again. 🤔 See you all on Sunday morning. 👌🏻

Start time is 6:30am or 9:30 am please?

Felicidades Diego!!

Wow… this is serious trip now! wish you great time, much footage and safe return! @Luke K P you are surrounded 🚙🚙🛻🚙🚙 😂 jokes apart, looks an amazing experience guys! Enjoy it !

Is that you in a ditch @Luke K P and the guys are trying to pull you back up? or did i misinterpret the photo ?

auxbeam offers similar gangpanel with bluetooth app control for around half the price, and includes the physical control panel you can mount inside car to use when bluetooth connectivity is failing. (same concept of switching box mounted inside engine bay near battery). garmin powerswitch of course integrates nicely with their other offroad hardware like the TREAD series of navi's. If you are considering going full garmin eco system, i'd say go for it. but otherwise the in-car physical backup would be my pref.
