Naqhra "The Little Liwa" this was my first drive post and big thanks to @Gaurav who encouraged me to step forward and post this drive and to lead the convoy. Friday "6th" morning I was the first one to reach at meeting point and after sometime everyone started turning @gaurav @saleem @srikumar and @rahimdad finally arrived. After having a cup of tea and sandwich we all left to our deflating point. After deflating as usual practice breafing began and it was my job. Gaurav Bhai & Rahim Bhai made me so comfortable that my fear to lead disappeared, after numbering the convey gaurav bhai was in second lead to correct me if i move wrong. We started our drive around 7.30 AM and we all enjoyed a lot and after playing around at Naqhra's tallest Dune by 10AM we were on the top of the dune which is around 250mtrs above sea level. After a short break and picture taking we continued our drive, and here is the real story began, one of our vehicle got stuck while slide slopeing and we tried recovering which was not moving even an inch. After a moment we noticed one of the wheel was not turning and we found that right side tie rod was bend. Somehow we recovered the vehicle to flat surface and tried temporary solution to fix it which did not work. And finally we decided to leave the vehicle in the middle of the desert and come back next day with proper tools and parts. Our drive continued next day it was Naqhra "Recovery Drive" all of us met at a decided point at late afternoon and reached to the spot on time and replaced the parts with the help of saleem's mechanical skills and we safely exited. This whole drive was our longest drive which is calculated roughly around 24hrs... Thanks to all for joining the drive and stayed till the end and special thanks to saleem.

I really hope the consumer protection come to your aid soon.

Too sad to hear that Toyota quality has gone down so much, as people swear by Toyota reliability and utmost quality. Maybe it could be the just one-off case so don't give up and lose hope. In my eyes as a first response report a formal written complaint to the dealer, and if the response is not favorable or satisfactory then report to consumer rights.

Im in!

Ramy in deira and Tazweed in shj deals in lot of good quality motorsports aftermarket parts.

Serck gulf is another master in designing custom fit radiators, but little more expensive than dolphin.

who ever designed such a bullshit way just to fold seats should be shot!

you will have to get one fabricated to match the original radiator dimensions. There are many companies like Dolphin Radiator and Sabah Radiator who do this job. Alternatively you can also goto a small fabricator and give your original radiator and he will be able to fabricate one for you.

Its more of a technique issue. First ensure that the back rest inclination lever is fully pulled and the back rest angle has come to the default position. The trick is that while you are doing the first part of the folding with the back rest almost down, you should start the second folding as well. If you are doing the first fold completely then the second fold will not happen. Try to do both the fold in a single motion. It should work. Let me know how it goes.
