Thanks @Gaurav. As you suggested, I kept a space in the drive for @Badar Tariq cousin/friend, but will be checking identity of the driver in the morning and will only allow the named driver on the convoy. Please follow instructions from Gaurav or you will arrive tomorrow morning at 6am and not be allowed to join the convoy. This is a 'no exceptions' policy. 

@Gaurav @Wrangeld dear i have subscribed and paid for his subscription l. Please replace his name with mine @Mohammad Imran Khan we will be using the same pajero 2012.

Please confirm.

Dear @Gaurav @Wrangeld i didnt knew the process of buying one day absolute drive for my cousin. Surely we can make new registration but due to time constraint i did it from my login. Please let me know what can i do now so that we can join the drive tomorrow?

@Wrangeld dear i am using Pajero 2012 3.8, and i will be with my cousin on the driving seat , this would be his first experience. We are also geared up with everything required.

Badar

@Emmanuel hi i have to suddently drop todays drive. Sorry

@Frederic overheating problem is only when i push during off road rest all fine.

And strangely the mechanic is asking me not to change oil bkzhe says  in pajero if u change ATF then chances are it might create problems in gears.

@Frederic hi dear, can u plz suggest which transmission oil is good for pajero 2012 AT. And of which grade?

Dear @Gaurav & @Rahimdad thank you for being cool minded with us (Newbies)😀 and leading the amazing drive. The whole convey performed really well with v less refusals.🥳

@Gaurav as you are aware my pajero transmission light switched on twice during the drive, so is there anything i need to check or do to avoid it next time. I haven't changed the gear oil since i bought it (used), so if gear oil needs to change plz suggest any good brand. Also guide if anything else to be done.

By the way you suggested Mobil1 engine oil in your other post and let me tell it did make a difference " Thank you" the sound of my engine just changed and drive is much smooth now.

Thanks dear , will try

@Frederic hi dear, i have just installed android LCD and four head sets LCDs in my pajero 2012 3.8 and i am facing a weird problem..all LCD screens works fine when engine is off but as soon as i start my engine all seat header LCDs starts showing horizontal waves. The shop who installed it are also not able to fix the problem.

Can you suggest any solution or recommend any electrician?

UPDATE: added detailed picture of how the plate is attached to the chassis

Hi Frederic, As you can see the metal is completely curved to fit directly onto the chassis and will provide the bumper a sliding ability once the car going down a steep hill comes to the bottom

 

Hello dear can u please share the contact details of the person who made it for u..

@Srikumar @Vanessa8580 thank you for the wonderful time and help. I was really tense bkz it was my lifes first off drive but your support helped me overcome my fear.

See you soon on next drive..:-)

Hi @Badar Tariq, Looking at your budget and the performance of the vehicles in our club, i would recommend the following:

1) Nissan Xterra. Even the basic model is an amazing offroader that will fit your budget. 

2) Mitsubishi Pajero LWB: 3.5 or 3.8 (3.8 has bit more power). Generation 4 

3) Mitsubishi Pajero SWB: 3.5 or 3.8 (3.8 has bit more power).Generation 4 

4) Nissan Pathfinder R50 model. Go for the 3.5 model.

 

 

 

Hi @Gaurav I have short listed some pajeros but i need your guidance to understand that how much is the gain i will have in 3.8 over 3.5. because i was doing cost vs gain analysis between 3.5 to 3.8. the question in my mind is that How much important is to have 3.8L engine? bkx i found some good deals on 3.5 with full options but i am not touching them and only searching for 3.8L.

Thanks. Searching now....

Hi @Gaurav thank you for the welcome, i really feel excited to join the club.

Thanks for making me understand the diff lock main purpose because i thought its a must to do off roading.

Plz find below my thoughts on the questions 

• Max budget, Max 15-20k, but cheaper the better but ofcourse i want to spend weekend in dessert not in workshop
• Purpose: Sand, Mountain, Wadi, Beach, Camping or all... All but with family not too extreme
• Size: LWB (5 doors) or SWB (2 doors) LWB
• Any special preference of brand of origin like Japanese, Jeep, Nissan etc. No preference just need good performer.
• Before checking out the discussion in this group i was looking at jeep grand cherokee but i read tbat it has engine heatup issues..so confused now...

Hi, i am a new joiner. So i have one basic question and that is about diff lock system.Can i install diff lock system in an old 4x4 and make it work till the high level. under same budget of 10k?

if not then can any one recommend an old 4x4 with diff lock option. My plan is to have a seperate vehicle only for dessert off road.

Thanks

Dear @Badar Tariq the latest Pathfinder unfortunately has less than the minimum 8inch ground clearance as is required. The approach angle is also extremely low and not suitable for off-roading in dunes. 

OK , thanks then i must quit this time.. But i am not sure if this is the right forum to discuss the right choice of 4X4 vehicle for off road. My plan was to buy an old one with diff lock option, only for off road purpose. 

Hi,

I am absolutely new to this dessert world. So please confirm if my vehicle is ok to go?

I have pathfinder 4wd 2016 model.

Regds,

Badar
