Dear @jasonm,
May ask you, which Pajero do you have?
Is it 3 or 5 doors ?
Is it 3.5 or 3.8 liters engine ?
Hi Neasboy. I have also a Pajero and it had the same original metal skid plate which is quite strong but may be not enough as I managed to destroyed it. I went to Best Line garage 2 weeks ago and they made for me anotherone that looks stronger. I will be on the drive Friday afternoon if you want to see it. Pierre.
Hi Pierre, I am coming with my Pajero Adventure (SWB, 3.8L) Friday afternoon. Would like to see your skid plate, don’t think I have one. See you. Vish

IT will be great to see the skidplate and check it’s construction. Guess I’ve not put the original through enough to break it yet :-ss
To close out the thread, I went for the rear and front skid plates, along with a trim of the front bumper that was damaged. Photos attached, feel free to climb under the car at this Fridays drive and have a look. Also got a ABS isolation switch installed for 150 dirhams. saves further crawling under the car to disable it or pulling fuses.
@ extensive7 Car is a 5 door, 3.5 litre.
Took Alex’s advice, got he work done at 5 star. Looking forward to hitting the sand shortly!

JasonGood job man :yesss: How much did they charge u and is that steel or aluminium? what is the thickness?
~ 1200 Dirhams for the front and 800 for the back. Seems to be the going price with the reputable 4×4 shops.
Both aluminum, rear 3mm plates with rubber coating. Front 8mm with Nylon bushings/spacers to help with vibration.
As I was pulling out, another car was pulling in with rear bumper damage to get the same work.

very nice! its a good armor at the front with 8 mm aluminium! its important that u protected engine bay and first weak thing is actuator, at the back 3 mm more than enough. for me it was simply plastic cover which didn’t give rear bumper to be a shovel on tight places!
That front skid looks awesome ! like a Friday 13th halloween mask mate or something from Mad Max movie
