Thanks everyone for joining, and it was the most memorable drive for me after a very long time. As my wife and kiddo have joined, and they both kept encouraging me for high-speed dune bashing with their screams and excitement throughout the drive. Everyone missed our dear Superman a lot including my son, who was looking for Rahimdad's car on every stuck and refusal. We all started almost on time, and the weather is getting so much better that at 2:30 - 3:00 PM standing outside was almost pleasant unlike before. We straight head to Lisalli fort and entered through the small-medium technical range, played there for an hour while heading towards the Qudra side. After an hour we cut short the route through a track and headed to nice medium long dune range behind Qudra area and had the best of drive experience. With an amazing experience in convoy, we never stopped or had any major incident and kept playing on those amazing dunes with the spiral track by going up and down on every dune. Cutting almost all the ridge sideways for the real excitement and adrenaline, everyone drove just perfect in that terrain. As this area is famous for gazelles sighting, so I have spotted many gazelles and tried to chase few of them too for good photos and will see what I have got in my camera. By 7 pm we have reached to the Qudra lake and found a nice clean spot next to the lake for setting our bbq and food session. By now everyone was very hungry and looking forward to a quick relaxing drink and some nice food. Thanks to Noor we had some amazing fresh hotdogs, sweet potatoes and marshmallows. Thanks to Saleem we had nice chilled green tea. We spend almost 2-3 hours there and enjoyed every bit of nice breeze and ambiance with awesome company and talks.

In your budget you should be able to get the Pajero 3.8 SWB. Most of the Pajero's are hardly taken off road so you might get a clean one. But try to stay away from the 2009 to 2014 models as they have a peculiar up-shifting problem in tiptronic. If you are checking Cherokee look for the Cherokee XJ (1997 to 2001) models, they are quite rugged. Dont look at the later models. Difficult to get a clean one, but you might get lucky. You will have to do some work on them to reduce the overheating issue. Further, many might agree on this forum that the older vehicles, i.e., prior to 2004 were better built for offroad use than the later versions.

Yokohama Geolander ATS has been offroad community best friend since last few years. I am using my second set since last year and the previous set lasted for 3+ years. So in short, I am very happy, satisfied and content user of Yokohama Geolandar ATS since 4 years. It offers the perfect blend of on-road smoothness and quietness yet offroad requirement of good grip and traction for most difficult of situations. They are not as heavy as other competing brands like Cooper, BFG, Mickey etc. so you get good fuel mileage and no humming noise on the road and better hill climb and self-recovery in desert terrain. Yokohama Geolandar HTS is a road tread, and if your fortuner is 100% road car then you are better off with HTS than ATS, as it is tad more smoother and lighter for all road usage. However, if you drive offroad too then go with Yokohama Geolandar ATS.
