@Per A I have added a 2 inch lift kit from dobinsons. This has transformed the drive and stability. Added a rear bumper protection just to prevent the rear bumper from being ripped off. Alternatively you may just remove the rear bumper before driving and fix it back later.
I will take another route rather than wade through water so deep that the bonnet will be under it. I'm not that adventurous.
Agree with @Frederic that it helps to reduce intake of dust.
It also happens in 2008 model when Engine rpm crosses 6500 rpm. You can get anything done in a Pajero once you know how to handle it. I'm still learning..
Right Gaurav, One can use an Old android phone, insert a sim with a basic data plan. Load a suitable app (I used MyTackingOnline), create an account and leave the phone in a discreet place connected to a charging port in your car.
It worked well for me. The only cost is of the monthly data that you will use.
