Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Since my last trip to the Richtersveld, I noticed that my Pajero was hanging rather low on the rear side. I was heavily loaded (chock-a-block inside, plus a roofrack with another spare wheel, 2 x jerrycans, etc).

This is what she looked like:

So I decided to make a plan....

I had OMEs fiited at Safari Centre. Here are the details of the lift I got:

Before:
LF = 715mm RF = 710mm
LR = 740mm RR = 730mm

After OME fitted:
LF = 765mm RF = 765mm
LR = 775mm RR = 780mm

In front there was a 50mm lift and back it lifted between 35 and 50mm

And this is what she now looks like...
So far I am extremely happy with my decision. I will be doing the Richtersveld in April again. This time I will be carrying an even heavier load as i am currently busy with a drawer and fridge slide system that will add some additional weight...

Looking good. Excellent decision IMHO.

The official rating is: Q (160 km/h). I doubt I would want to drive that fast with these tyres..!

Please help, I am living in the middle east and trying to source suspension bushes and ball joints for a Gen 3 Pajero, looking for an online supplier - tried contacting Nonathelene but they didn't reply and there was no sign of an online order/delivery option - any ideas?

Mmmm - Might be seeing you in April in the Richtersveld. I will also be there over the Easter long weekend.

Hi CATS

we will be staying over at Potjiespram on 24 Apr leaving the next morning since that was the only available spot for us in the Park (4 or 5 vehicles). We then follow the Akkadis pass, Penkop & Koerdegab pass to exit en route to Kuboes.

During this trip we will stay over at Kuboes, Tierhoek, Bakkranse.

Let me know when you are where, perhaps we can say "hello"..?

The main aim of this trip was not to visit the Park - we are doing an outreach to some people.

Then I will most probably not see you. I will be staying in the park from the 26April till the 1May at various camps.

Enjoy and drive save.
