Welcome here on the forum and specifically in the Mitsu family. It would be really interesting to measure your personal experience over time with the Pajero Sport as opposed to all the other brands that you have driven. I hope you keep us all up to date on the memories made in the new vehicle. The Sport is starting to be more and more presented on this forum and I look forward to more and more active inputs in this respect.

PS - You are obviously a modest person by nature. Listing Van Zyls as moderate 4x4 experience

Thank you for the welcoming message.
I'm not super active on these forums but I will share my experiences with the Sport (hopefully all good). and post some pics of modifications and equipment added.

I did Van Zyl's about 10 years ago, maybe I was a bit more brave and a lot more stupid back then

Welcome Lorens, from another PS owner and very happy with the vehicle so far. Have done a few long trips, numerous local 4x4 tracks and trails to understand the capabilities and so far we have never been disappointed! Hope you have many solid miles from your PS and would also like to see your feedback on the comparison from your past vehicles.

Andre

Thanks. Good to hear that you are happy with your PS. I noticed you have a few extras fitted to your vehicle. I would very much like some advice on things like roof rack, bash plate etc.

I will post a new thread on the appropriate part of the forum.

Lorens, you are welcome to ask me about the extras and pricing for all the items which include: Bullbar, Bash Plate, Rock Sliders, Winch, Axillary fans, Battery System, Roof Rack, Seat Covers, Snorkel, tyres, suspension etc... You can PM me if you like as I am not sure what the other forum is where you are going to post the queries.
