Offroad-Express

I am new to 4X4's & have been offered a jap import 2003 pajero at a good price however the owner has told me it does not have a LSD. How will this effect it's ability to go off road?
I won't be doing anything too serious, a bit of hunting & taking the family out.

Any help especially from people that may have a 4x4 without a LSD would be great.

it'll be fine mate

If its a facelift it should come with traction control tjat can brake each wheel individually. This acts similar to an lsd/locker by slowing down the free spinning wheel. Npt sure how well it works.

No it's not the facelift, was wanting to know how much of an advantage having a LSD would be over not having one, if it will only be a slight disadvantage I'm sure I could live with it.

Seem to remember something about a common brake problem with pajero's around that year, do a quick search on google ... from memory its not a cheap fix apparantly

I noticed a good difference in my vitara between an lsd and an open diff. You can actually get factory rear lockers for those pajero's.

slight disadvantage but if its the right car wouldnt really be put of by it not having one. not a big deal for light 4wding
