Exploring the Unique Modifications of a 2011 Mitsubishi Pajero SWB
The Mitsubishi Pajero is an extremely popular car on the streets of the UAE, mainly because it serves as an exceptional family SUV and an ultra-capable weekend warrior. Today, Ben talks to us about his unique 2011 Pajero SWB and all the modifications he’s done and plans to do to it.
Current Vehicle
What car do you currently drive?
I drive a 2011 Mitsubishi Pajero SWB.
Car History
Have you owned any interesting cars in the past?
As I am only 19, I haven’t owned any other cars in the past, but I definitely do consider myself fortunate to have this as my first car.
Passion for Cars
What got you into cars?
I grew up playing lots of car games. So when I moved to Dubai around 15 years ago, it was like I was living in a car game. Seeing all of the different and unique cars as well as the cars that had gone through major transformations had always interested me.
Unique Features and Customizations
What is unique about your car? Have you customized it in any way?
I think what makes my car unique is the journey. When I first bought this car, I made a TikTok video showing off some of the first modifications I had done to it. This included a 12.2 inch Tesla screen, subwoofer, and chrome delete. Unexpectedly, this TikTok blew up overnight, reaching 85,000 views.
Following the views, there were hundreds of comments giving suggestions as to what I should do next to the car. From that, I created the TikTok series called Pajero Mods on the3.8way TikTok, doing a modification in each episode. So far, I have done:
- Front and rear skid plates
- Yokohama Geolander tires
- Cold air intake
- Valvetronic muffler
- Interior LED lights
- Bumper cut
- Sidestep delete
- Blacked out rear tire cover
Future Modifications
Do you have any upgrades or modifications in the pipeline?
I have a lot of modifications planned for the future, such as a 2" lift kit, Method rims, chiptuning, and much more. You can follow me on “the3.8way” on Instagram and TikTok to see updates on the car.
Car Swap Preferences
Tell me one car you would swap your current car for?
Personally, I love short-wheelbase cars, so if I were to swap my car for any car, it would be a Nissan Patrol Y61 SWB, as I just love the aesthetic of them.
