Pajero is known for this just enough cooling in hot month, you will get used to it from second year onward. Just keep driving and you will be fine, don't stop in heat.

@Sidshk Thanks for the prompt feedback and indeed they look very promising other thann bit extra noisey - I guess.

From the looks of it, I just simply love them and I have been seeing in one of the 4x4 parked next to my office daily. Can anyone please provide the real time feedback for 75% road and 25% offroad usage? Thanks in advance guys.

It sounds like an amzing idea, but wondering how do you satisfy the club ego's? Been there, done that for a while and realize all I need is 4-5 friends (at best) to venture and not any clubs anymore.

My dream offroad rig is Pajero Evolution, that has been discontinued since long time and I think @Gaurav here shares the same dream by living with 3.5 swb pajero in old shape. Amazing engineering to win 12 dakar rally with that same car.

Thanks bro, have they showed any dyno results of before and after at least? Was this the original ECU flash or the piggy back (removable) setup?

Well congrats for getting car back, I know how it feels without car when you only have one car. Btw, I am also surprise to hear that prado has air struts which is known devil for all german and uk cars.

Hi @SilverSurfer thhanks for the info and nice words. Do they do the road rolling test as barry mentioned? And how much it costed you? Will wait for the review in sand after Friday drive. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Barry. Do you have chipcenter number and any idea how much they will charge for Pajero chip tuning for adding more hp and torque for offroad usage?

I heard from a friend that Ziebart offers good rust proofing product and also offer annual maintenance package. Galadari is their main dealer her, hope it helps.

Thanks guys for your advices and im on highway tires and should stick to 15 pressure in that case.

Anyone knows the best place for chip tunning in dubai? Whether flashing the original chip or using the piggy back im open to both options, but with genuine and knowledgeable chip tuner in dubai and not just wannabe tuner screwing my OEM setup. Any help is highly appreciated.

I have been always driving in sand at 14-15 psi, after reading this here somewhere. Now last week I was having 5 people in car and car was struggling a lot more. Do I increase or decrease the tire pressure when I have full load or it doesn't matter?

Not bad as a make shift, but I still prefer branded and heavy duty stuff to be 100% sure unlike using scrap parts for off-road (too much risk involve IMO).

Thanks Gaurav, couple of questions:

• Is this fan came from scrapyard?
• Is this fan carrying any model number or make?
• Does this job carry any warranty?
• Have you tried motor sport shops here selling universal tranny cooler that comes with fan in built?

@derik You were advising me to go for Pajero and you are having troubles with it.

So what, every car has some issues but overall Pajero is the king and beast in desert, mountain, wadi, water and whatever you throw at it.

Thanks barry, any idea from where to buy transmission cooler? How much it cost? and how much will be the labor cost?

Please like my first advice here 

None of them, go with Pajero - Real king of desert.

I have tried my Pajero few times before and never seen the AT light popping, but since a month every time I go little offroad I see this light after 30-40 minutes of driving. I know now it's hotter month than Jan-March, but does this means I can no longer drive pajero in offroad in summer months in Dubai and UAE. Appreciate any solution for this, please advise. thx

Thanks Gaurav for clarifying the air, as one of my office mate mentioned this lifespan point that regular off-road cuts the vehicle life by half and with that fear in mind I have been really scared and thinking of killing my family bbq drives even to not to have big toll on my Pajero. Off course I am very careful driver and don't do any stupid stunts, just drive safely to some roadside sand area for picnic over the weekends. Hope that much is fine. If your Pajero can run after 18 years, I am sure mine will last that long too.

Sorry but totally useless answer.

Can someone please help by answering my question with an answer I'm looking for lifespan (in percentage). Thank

I understand that offroad usage put extreme stress on the best offroad car even, so wondering to know more in how much intensity will it impact? 

Example: regular offroad usage slash 25% of car usable life or 50% or 75%, just an approx as per offroaders experience here in UAE sand desert.

Secondly which component dies first by using car regularly in offroad: Engine, Transmission or 4x4, Suspension or any other?

P.S. I don't meant for maintenance, but actual dying of any component due to offroad stress

Wow these are the amazing drive pics. Wondering how Pajero can keep up in such wild track, you have left your car behind and walk across or driven inside the wadi with the cars?

I am from Arizona, US and thrown into this beautiful la-la land since 6 years.
