Looks like pics from the dinosaur age. If we see closely we might find @Gaurav🤣that's how long he has been doing offroading

One trick to check if a Pajero LWB has been offroaded is to see if it has a rear bash plate. That's the most basic upgrade you need to do on a Pajero before taking it on the sand.

Isn't this a 2012 car driven 220K km. I believe chances are there for engine mounts to go bad or become dry after such a long time even with normal road usage

Exit the Iftar drive and join this one first. Iftar drive has no drive participant restrictions.

Not when 2 out of the 4 leafs were already broken From my understanding the shocks need to prevent the leafs from extending fully. If not you will have failure.

@Krishna R did only one leaf break or the entire set? I don't think the spacers would have caused your leaf spring to break. I have had a case where both my rear leaf springs set had failed at the same time. But this happened only once in about 7 years of offroading. This didn't happen all of a sudden, but over a period of time which I realised later in hindsight. Whenever I used to overload the vehicle it would sag quite a bit at the back. So what exactly happened is that out of the 4 leafs the smallest ones had already broken and during the final drive in Sweihan while cross-crossing the big leaf gave away. And the same must have happened on the other side as well. In my case the springs had no rust as well, infact they are made of hardened steel that don't fail so easily. Your shocks are the ones that prevent the full flex of the leaf spring. Maybe it has a bit too much travel and allows the suspension to flex more than what it ought too.

There is a typo error. I think you meant XJ model 😅
