Hello everyone, I currently have a 2010 Pajero with 18-inch rims and 265/60R18 Geolandar tires. I’m considering upgrading to Method 305 NV 17-inch rims (0mm offset) paired with 265/65R17 Geolandar tires. The suspension is stock, but I’ve already trimmed the bumper. Is this setup feasible, or could it lead to any issues? hat are the pros and cons I might face with this change? I’d appreciate your thoughts and suggestions! Thanks!

Thank you so much for your help, everyone! @Gaurav, that’s exactly what I was thinking. It seems the issue might just be with the power steering pump, so I may not need to get into rebuilding or repairing the steering rack. @GauravSoni , to be honest, this is the fifth garage I’ve visited. It feels like everyone’s trying to take advantage in some way. The lack of transparency in this industry is really frustrating. That’s why I was asking for a recommendation for a garage you guys trust-someone who’s honest and does quality work, regardless of the cost. I really hope you guys can help me with this in a private message or anyway possible.

Hi everyone, I’d appreciate your thoughts on a quote I received for my pajero 2010. one of the issues i am facing is with my my steering—it’s stiff and makes noises whenever I turn left or right. I've attached some photos that the garage provided. Appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks a lot!

Hi Gaurav, Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it. I’ll keep what you said in mind. At first, I wasn’t planning to make major changes to my Pajero. I just want the basic upgrades like front and rear bash plates, and maybe trimming the front bumper a bit. I’m also thinking of installing a Dobinson 2'' lift and getting a slim roof rack with an awning. Someone suggested getting a new air filter for the car—do you think that's necessary, or are there any other mechanical upgrades I should consider? What about rims and tires, what size would you recommend? My goal with these upgrades is to go on light off-road camping trips with my family and maybe I will join the desert rides and to make my Pajero look better. Can you recommend a good and honest garage? Thanks again for your input! All the best, Patrik

Hi everyone, I’m new here and looking for some professional advice on modifying my 2010 Pajero for light off-road use in the mountains and desert. I’m not interested in extreme off-roading or dune bashing, just something suitable for weekend family adventures and camping trips when the weather improves. I also need suggestions for adding more storage on the roof, as I have a 2-door Pajero. Additionally, I’m planning to give my Pajero a new paint job but am unsure whether to go with traditional paint or vinyl wrapping. I’ve been considering this project for a long time and was initially unsure if I should sell my Pajero and get a newer model to modify. However, I decided to stick with my current 3.8 because the newer models don’t have the same engine. I’d really appreciate any professional advice and recommendations for a good garage. Thank you so much!
