Car Passing RTA/Tasjeel?

[LC200Offroader]

Hello Everyone! 

I have a toyota LC200 with a custom made offroad bumper (metal) and roof rack (also metal). i previously used to have my car tested for passing in Ras Al Khor and it went great for 2-3 years with rubber stoppers installed and the offroad lights covered. however, I went today, and they informed me that ALL modified vehicles now have to test in either Sharjah or Abu Dhabi. 

I made my way to Tasjeel in Sharjah and asked the car technician there what needs to be done for passing and he informed me the only thing to do is install the stock bumper for passing. 

Im not sure if anyone else had this problem recently? is there any other testing centers in Sharjah or AD that could pass the car without this hassle? or is this the only way now.

Have u tried Shamil (at Emarat) in Nad al hamar, the best passing center I found?

So took my pajero with steel bumper and lights and roof racks with Sharjah plates to get inspected at motor city tasjeel. Failed due to "off-road modifications only allowed with Dubai plates"

Went to tasjeel auto village in Sharjah and failed. Return car to stock.

Tasjeel Dubai gave me following advice:

Remove plates

Cancel registration in Sharjah

Get export certificate to Dubai

Inspect within 24 hours in Dubai,

Register with new random Dubai plates.

 

Went back to motor City tasjeel, Passed without issue. Seems like Dubai plates with steel bumpers,rock sliders etc are no issues as long as combo above works.

Used some rubber bumpers with double sided tape to put on front of bumper for inspection and removed once I picked up from carpark

 

Good luck to others needing passing 🙏

If it's a personal vehicle, I would get them passed in UAQ Shamil. They don't bother as long as the engine, gear and chassis is in place. Rest don't matter. 😅

Newbie question...do I have to take my bash plate off for rta passing?

And where can I source these rubber bumpers?

bash plate has never been an issue during passing for me. Metal front bumper however is a no-go. Is yours in steel?

Um Al Quwain SHamil accept renewal for Dubai plates ?

My bumper is plastic just cut up..but I have metal rod just beneath it (clearly visible) to support the bash plate🤔

as long as plastic / rubber in front should have no issues.
