Well apart from Mud tyres I do not know exactly what there is that you can do to it. Have you got running boards on that? you would be wise to remove them.
Thats all the useless info I have for you now.

Re: 1998 Mitsubishi Pajero 1.8 - Suitable for 4WD Driving?
Pajero IO just means its the smaller version of a pajero, and GDI is Gasoline Direct Injection and ZR is probably a model number?

Re: 1998 Mitsubishi Pajero 1.8 - Suitable for 4WD Driving?
they're not that much more 'well specced' than a rav 4 IMO. I did some work on one for a friend of the GF.
They've got a proper gearbox setup with centre diff lock and low range and all that so they'll be a lot more capable off road than a rav4, though. however, one of the main things that stuck out to me was how low the gearbox crossmember is to the ground. that'll be one of the first limiting factors when you're off road.
I wouldn't worry about changing tyres and all that til you've taken it over some basic, and dry tracks. go for a hoon down the river and all that and see if you're happy with where you can go. the first thing that'll cause you to get stuck is geting beached on that crossmember, perhaps, so, if you're looking at anythign too serious then it may be wise to upgrade to the full sized pajero or a suzuki vitara if you're still keen on the wee 4x4s as they're thenext step up in offroading.
you may find that you're happy with it's capabilities anyways
