@IR

It is injustice to make us wait for more pics and the ownership review as I personally was looking forward to see this special one very soon

4x4 SUV

Let us consider 80, 20 rule. If 80% of usage on off-road conditions, and 20% usage on road conditions use Mahindra Thar CRDe. Otherwise go for a used toyota fortuner.

I have experience in above all vehicles, except Force Gurkha. Fortuner, and Pajero Sport are fun to drive, but expensive. Only few will take them for pure off-road driving.

Trust Force Motors to give you something you don't want:

Ehh..this is impossible. I mean an extended wheelbase 4X4. What will be the tagline of this thing? "Go offroad with family"!!!

Look at the image below and choose the correct alternative:

A) Japs are great engineers
B) HM engineers wired the MID incorrectly
C) Iron Rock is plain lucky
D) Iron Rock is a cheat, a fraud
E) None of the above

Either (D) is right or maybe (B) is right. In fact I believe that 'D' has a higher probability.

Thanks Sam and Vipul. Sorry I had limited connectivity since yesterday so couldnt post - as with tradition at the Iron Rock household all new vehicles first go offroading

Where is a good video of the 'offroading' you did? The pics you have clicked, that much offroading even my Corolla can also do and that also quite well.

The words of freakdude echo in my years, once you have driven the devil's ride, its hard to buy anything else.

Exactly same words echoed in my ears too when I answered someone of "what do you think is the best on and offroader under 30 lac?". Fantastic decision you took sirji, this car really has no match.

Ill leave you guys with a picture for now - One day of ownership so far and nearly 400kms done

400 kms in a day. Great..

This Pajero Sport comes in a nearly new color - and with both the original MID and the touchscreen all integrated DVD Unit. (done on request)

Sirji its not a mine is bigger than your thread - bicycle is the one of the best offroader with wheels - if it gets too tough just lift it and walk across.
Regarding the MID and Double DIN question check out pics below.

Yes Sir, your wish is my command!

^^Hmm, my guess is correct, that seating looks to be some what special and seats with some perfect angle for best thigh support if I am correct !!

Anyway I respect your commitment of few weeks and look forward for full story soon

Please explain the initial buying experience, and early driving experience. How much OTR price? Any free accessories with the purchase? How is the service intervals?

Congratulations! Excellent decision and a beautiful choice of color. Sad I couldn’t keep in a loop with action going on here. Awaiting to read off-road trails of this Jap samurai.

Drive Safe,

Waiting for a detailed and special ownership report, IR style.

Finally the mystery is over. Congrats Iron Rock on getting this mammoth beast. Going by the pics, color looks amazingly good. Though I'm yet to see one in person in this particular shade. Might be yours itself when I head to Pune next.

Congrats once again.

Congrats IR !!! Wish you many happy miles ahead. Did you buy it used or new ?
