At Shingwedzi, The S56 Mphongolo loop. Drive slowly, check the riverbed thoroughly. That road can be absolutely magic. Also one of the prettiest roads in Kruger.

I think if you read it rather to be a "don't" than a "check this out!", then it's actually very good advice.
How did you skirt around the facia issue, if I may ask? Did the unit come with its own facia? Or did you manage to squeeze the radio into the existing facia?

Lekker. I only suggested Henk because your location says Pretoria. Arnold will definitely get you sorted though. The dude's a magician.
Wynand, have you spoken to Henk from Pajero Maintenance Services in Annlin? 0833061848.
I'm also keen on more info and pics, if and when you get time.
I live in a complex. This makes back-up power difficult during the Eskom Incompetence Hours. No gennies allowed. No Solar installations allowed. Since we live in Jo'burg metro, loadshedding comes in...
Thanks for this. I've got a brand new set of Good Year Wrangler AT Adventures on my car (265/65R17). When I enter Kruger I'll drop it to 1.7bar, and drive the mixed combination of tar and dirt, and...
What kind of damage will you do to your tires if you drive at 1.5bar on tar? Albeit at relatively low speeds... The reason I'm asking, is I go into Kruger quite often, and each trip I average about...
Have you tried to delete other paired devices from your phone to "free up" some space? I did this when I tried to pair my Parrot to my old phone and it did the trick.
To explain the parking procedure in a little more detail:
What I do is, once I come to a complete stop using the foot-brake, I put the vehicle in Neutral, and apply the handbrake. Then I release the...
My fickle brain just says that at 120km/h an 8-speed or 10-speed box will sit at a lower rpm than a 5 or 6-speed. Fuel consumption is the only factor in that assumption. Since I don't have a trailer,...
If I had the cash it would be a tough choice for me personally. The Triton is beautiful, and I'm a big Mitsu fan, but that 8-speed auto box in the new 2l Ranger is a big draw factor. It's a shame...
Hindsight is 20/20. I didn't know exactly what the vulnerability with the lock was, but SWAMBO found out about the "fix" and made the arrangements. It is really simple to do, so I'm going to do my...
I paid R250 for mine. It may have been due to the lock already having been replaced by Ford, so there were no broken parts on SWAMBO's vehicle.
The pins were indeed removed. The cover over the lock is basically just an indication to the criminals that they shouldn't try.
SWAMBO has an Ecosport which got broken into a few months ago. Luckily we never keep valuables in the car, so they didn't take anything. We had the lock replaced through Ford who didn't elude at all...
Agreed. It's well below spec for what the Aussies proved can be put in the vehicle. It's a shame, because I reckon it's the best looking bakkie on the market. If they added more bells and whistles,...
From the Mitsubishi SA Website, the 2019 Triton comes with:
A decent place to start would be https://www.mitsubishiusedspares.co.za/
It's basically a scrap yard of sorts that has a bunch of cars that were involved in accidents, and you buy spares off them....
Also applicable with the SWB, however the rear seat headrests must be removed in order to close the boot.
There are also daily flights from Cape Town to Skukuza. Avis has rental cars available from Skukuza airport. If you work out the travel costs to and from KNP/JHB, then you may as well fly into...
Keep us updated please.
I put 2 layers of Megabond Themo-Sheld paint (https://www.megabond.co.za/thermal.html) on my "sink-dak" a few years ago. The garage used to get incredibly hot. Now, after the paint, I can place my...
It's a cheaper hobby than cocaine!

Here is what Canon has come up with:

I can't recall ever seeing spots on a Pajero's stock bumper, but I have seen a lightbar installed behind the bumper, below the number plate. That might be worth looking into?
I tend to shoot in Aperture Priority, and change my ISO to increase/decrease the shutter speed.
Unbelievable. Just when you think they're getting their act together.
My family is expanding, so I was seriously considering getting the new PS. I'm not so sure anymore. It's a shame, because it's...
I usually drop it off at Arnold the day before or on the day of the service, and collect it the day after. I work in Pretoria so it's far to do a same-day delivery & collect.
Nee man Sniper. Jy moet mos wag vir ons amateurs om ons fotos op te sit voor jy ons weg blaas met so 'n foto. Anders raak ons te bang om ons fotos op te sit ;D
Goeie werk daar. Daai het baie mooi...
Good decision. It's often a far drive, and a bit of a schlep to get there and back, but their service is brilliant. I hope it stays that way.
Where does your son guide? Are they allowed to drive off-road there? If so, then I rather recommend a 200-400 IS or a 70-200 IS lens for wildlife.
If they aren't allowed to off-road, then a Sigma...
Just for interest sake: Does the Driver's seat go that flat even if it's the electronic seat? (I'm not with my vehicle at the moment so I can't test it).
When I was at Mitsubishi Menlyn last week I saw a poster at the parts counter advertising that select Mitsubishi dealers can install a "lock on ignition" on Pajero BK, PS, ASX and Outlander models...
