Yo,
Just got my Pajero back with a custom rear bumper - I previously had the trailer hitch setup which goes under the bumper and reduces your clearance by around 15cm.
Lights are LEDs which work well
Guy who did it is starting out making custom 4x4 setups. PM me if you need details - dont want to publish numbers without his permission

Nice!
I see you still have some of the plastic trim, so I guess that's part of the bodywork and not the original bumper. So this setup wouldn't quite work on a Gen2
How much did you pay if I may ask?

mmmmm....
Looks nice! How much and where did you have it made?
Also how does it mount onto the rails of the Pajero body ?? On the first photo it only shows the rear bar. Where are the mounting arms leading to chassis and how does this connect to the bar? With the towbar and hi-lift points on your bar you have to make VERY sure that this is secured properly with at least 3 mounting points per side.

It has three bolts per side, high lift jack test showed no movement and this design has towed trailer no problems. The pictures do not show the inside bar which is used as the mount bracket. I seems v strong and weighs in around 40kg.
Cost was R8k including LED lights and fitment. Done by a chap in Pretoria - Christo - he custom makes based on your requirements.

A real neat setup! Is it a Gen 3? I assume the same can be done to a Gen 4.
