Hi,

Does anyone have a suggestion on where I can get steel front and rear bumpers + skid plates fabricated for a Pajero.

I have a quote from a 4×4 shop here for 7000 dirhams. Seems expensive and want to get a second opinion.

Cheers all
Jason

Just my 2 cents
Pajero is not worth investing into, except skid plates.
By the time you spend 5 digit amount, you realize there are other things which can’t be modified to do what you want it to do.

Agree. I used to offroad on my Pajero with all stock for one year! The only thing u really need is Skid plate front and bottom (instead plastic) and back bumper cover! Then u will see what do u need else! To be honest u dont need steel bumper for sand drives and at the end with any custom made bumper u will have a prob in insurance (not 100% sure about all aspects)

Just Den yours being the short wheelbase it is a cat in the desert and moves really good…but Are you saying the LWB is more than capable in the desert without spending money on it.? Or it cant be improved?

Only thing i can see wrong is the bumpers and a little more lift but just to stop the rear bumper and runners catching if you beach it onto a dune top.

Jason i’d say just fit a front guard to protect the bumper if you dip too hard. There is a mod online that involves just pop riveting aluminium plate so the rear doesn’t act as a sand scoop. My tow bar has saved me a few times from tearing the rear off.

BTW … Pulled a FJ cruiser out of Qudra last night which got stuck 😉 and he was in a bowl … Pajero power!!

I just took a good look under the front of mine and it appears to have a skid plate factory fitted or am I wrong. It seems to have some armour after this also . Is this just a bash plate or skid plate ?

That looks a nice bit of work the skidplate..much better for the sand

No its definately mild steel plate bolted on

Maybe you could take a look Alex this weekend if your on the drive ?
