Hi @Abdullah A., I have my Pajero remapped done on May 2023. I am not using unichip, so it is 100% only the software/flash file. The modification are: - Throttle response with faster ramp up time - RPM limiter removal - Engine derated speed removal - Gear Hold / 2nd gear autoshift up removal I did it when my car was still under warranty, and I have no issues with the car, the km now is 88k, I still use factory fitted MAF sensor. However I bring 3 MAF sensors for spare because of @GauravSoni story 😅

DRIVE DESCRIPTION-WHAT TO EXPECT Venture beyond the edges of the map and immerse yourself in the vast silence of the Empty Quarter. Over two days we’ll carve our own route through majestic dunes, untouched desert plains, and landscapes that feel both ancient and otherworldly. This is not just a drive — it’s an exploration of one of the most remote and stunning environments on Earth. We will navigate technical terrain, camp beneath star-filled skies, and share unforgettable moments around the fire. This journey blends challenge, camaraderie, and the profound beauty of the open desert. If you’ve ever wanted to disconnect from the city, test your skills, and taste real exploration, this is the drive for you.

We request every member who joins this drive to go through the information below and strictly follow these guidelines, etiquette, and responsibilities. MUST READ AND COMPLY Environmental Policy Offroad Flag Guideline Two Way Radio Guideline Off road Driving Etiquette's Emergency details for all off-roaders Off Road Driving - Roles & Responsibilities Drive Details For this Saturday, I'm proposing a different plan that combines desert driving and hiking. We will start with 1 to 1.5 hours of driving. More focused on enjoying the desert, looking for nice points of views. Also use our skills and the capabilities of our cars to reach a point in the middle of the desert. From there, we will leave the vehicles and continue on foot. Climb the dunes, listen to the silence (and to our breath), experience the different sand texture, try to read the terrain, consider the slopes, the form of the dunes, choose a line to climb with less effort... The "hike" will be 1 to 1.5 hours. It will involve a few steep climbs and walking into soft sand. Nothing extreme, but participants will need to be reasonably fit. Please wear closed shoes (high-top or over-the-ankle shoes are best, though standard sports shoes are acceptable). No flip flops. If you or your passengers don't want to walk, you can stay by the cars during this time, but no driving around. Back at the cars, we can enjoy snacks, watch the sunset, and drive another 20-25 min to reach the exit before it is totally dark. The driving part includes the crossing of an area of elevated dunes, with a few climbs and steep descents and also some technical portions. Though not really "difficult" I'm requiring a minimum of 3 previous drives to ensure that each driver can enjoy, and to keep sufficient time for the hiking part. Families are welcome, including children. Let me know if you have specific questions.

Congratulations!

copyrighted my friend... Its gonna cost you a CAT baseball cap 😁

Thank you all for joining the drive today. We had a great time out in the sand! I started slowly for everyone to warm-up and get in the desert mode. We could enjoy the beautiful morning light and the fresh air, with great views of the surrounding dunes. After the break, we went for some more action, increasing the pace, and adding a few climbs, experiencing acceleration and momentum. After another climb, we reached into a hidden bowl, where again we could push the engines to climb, and control the speed in the descent. We continued with a bit of practice in the technical dunes, where everyone was remarkably focused. Then we reached back to the exit through an open dunes area. A nice mix of different terrains ! Great driving from everyone, we had only a few stuck or refusal, nothing major, very well done. Thank you @Ana for the 2nd lead, @Mark B for the support from the middle, and @Gaurav Narsinghani for the sweep. And for @Nicholas Hubbard, @Piotr1, @DG707, @Taka, @CY Bong, @Hansmtb, thank you for the excellent spirit and supporting the shoveling when needed ! See you soon.
