Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which accessories should I buy first? A: Start with safety: Limb risers and recovery equipment are non-negotiable. Then add the front bumper and basic lighting. Cargo solutions come next.
Q: Do these accessories void my Thar’s warranty? A: Most bolt-on accessories don’t void the warranty. However, modifications affecting structural or factory systems may impact specific coverage. Keep all installation documentation and consult your dealer.
Q: Can I install these myself? A: Simple accessories like jerry cans and bonnet scoops are DIY-friendly. Safety-critical items like limb raisers and bumpers should be professionally installed.
Q: How do I choose between bumper options? A: Daily driving + light trails = ABS bumpers. Regular off-roading = Fibre bumpers. Hardcore use = Metal bumpers. Consider weight, protection level, and recovery point needs.
Q: Are limb raisers really necessary? A: YES. If you go off-road, limb raisers are essential safety equipment. They’re your primary recovery points and can save you from expensive rescues or damage.
Q: How much weight can the roof carrier hold? A: Follow Mahindra’s roof rating for your specific Thar variant (typically 50-75 kg dynamic load). The carrier itself is robust, but your vehicle’s roof has limits.
