To anyone who is not sure about taking their bog standard Paj off road, I can definately recommend a bit of greenlaning. Make sure you go with a group, even better a group from PajeroUK!  You will be surprised at what your truck can do even on Road tyres and standard height etc. Even my passenger enjoyed today's run, from being quite sceptical she ended up wanting more Mud so that we could get dirtier!  The lanes we visited today were incredibly diverse, including anything from rocky climbs in the trees to tight GREEN lanes twisting between stone walls, all of them in stunning scenery.  It helps having a great guide (Craig) and a bunch of good people (Shoggy, Hank, Padgy and associated co-pilots).  Please give it a go if you get the opportunity, you won't regret it. Jim |

padjy the led ones are £50 each so very expensive but a lot better effect and you just need a switch and power to them and no controller needed but the strobes i have are £45 a set but i got mine at £35 a set from ardent at leeds and they mail order too |

Definatelay Le Paj great fun!, but being our first shogun we are are probably concerned with water/mud damage and knowing where the grease points are.
Do i need a second vehicle, or will my pride and joy be o.k.?

we can find some easy lanes without causing much damage - but the least to expect is scratches, most will polish out.  As for maintenance you need to grease your propshafts, re-grease bearings after wading but to be honest for light laning you won't get much damage If you off road regular then reduce service intervals - the biggest problem is once you start .... you'll want more .... and more .... and muddier and muddier. Why not pop along this Sunday, the lanes will be OK O0apart from the punchbowl |

You're amongst friends here matey - we don't charge unless there are costs involved or it's a charity event. Come along to one of our laning days and there's always someone who'll happily show you the ropes and/or sit in with you. But as LePaj says, be warned, it is very addictive |
