Interesting to see how a diff lubricates its self and also how the shape of the cover influences lubrication

Welcome to the trip report. The trip was so amazing my adrenalin is still pumping as I type this report. We all met on time and was happy to have @Emil as my companion for the ride. With @Gaurav bhai in the lead and @EmVarlet shining bright the real surprise was having @baselsm83. Saw him almost after a whole year, but instead of his mosterous Nissan Patrol he was sporting a SWB Pajero with a 3.5 litre engine. The younger sibling of Gaurav bhai's Pajero. We entered a bit different than our usual place and that gave us some challenging soft, small to medium very technical dunes. Once we crossed from these we were treated to a quick drive through some more small to medium dunes. As we managed ourselves through the treacherous terrain we were treated to the dunes of my dreams after about 7 years. Here we did everything from side sloping, to riding the ridge, to criss crossing to flattening some sharp ridges. It was just amazing. That was not enough for us, we continued through some more technical small dunes inching our way to the twin hearts on our maps. The suspense was killing as we came closer to this intriguing place. Than Gaurav bhai stopped and gave us options to continue exploring through some unknown spots or head to the twin hearts. Majority wanted to continue exploring, which meant we might have to miss the 2 hearts. Luckily we managed to clear the exploration area and reach the place which was now so close to my heart. As we drove around we realized that it was the love Lake, which is being constructed. My hats off to the thought where it is designed in a way which shows up on the map as 2 hearts. After driving around and circling the place we settled down near one of the lake to grab a bite. It was an amazingly cool night and the stars were shining bright. But like every good thing comes to an end, we headed out, inflated our tires, helped a couple of stuck saloons and headed on our way home. All I can say is @Gaurav bhai, what a lovely drive.

I get so many messages from people asking for advice on their car problems. Sure, if you’re a friend and I know you, feel free to call me and ask, but if you don’t know me personally, please post all questions on the forum. I will be civil and answer personal messages but it’s not the proper way to do it. Information shared in private messages is information lost. Share the questions and answers on the forum and people will be able to search it for years to come and your questions will help many people instead of just helping yourself. I do what I do for free, I don’t receive any payment. I’m just trying to share knowledge the same way it was shared to me years ago.

I sure did miss this one. Hope we can have another one to this area soon 😃

My car is finally fixed and I will be most definitely be joining this drive especially since its early in the morning. Looking forward.

Would love to join this one

Looks like custard. I’m hungry now.

Actually we were turning right. I thought he already move and when i was looking my left i moved. Than bommm. Sedan tiida became hatchback tiida.

Unfortunately the reality of this place is what you are driving that leads to how many times you get tail gated and flashed at. Recently I was driving someone's new rented Sunny and in that short drive I got flashed and honked at more than I would care to remember. Even hiace vans amd canter pickups were coming up to my rear flashing and honking. This never happens in my own car, even patrols and cruisers if ever will slowly creep behind and maybe after a while give a quick polite dip of the headlights at worse. More like a camera flash and not be breathing down your neck honking and blaming full beam headlights like when I was in the sunny!

Who gave you the bright idea of deleting the Cat converter? Dunno about the jero but now you could be running a wonky fuel air mixture which can throw up a check engine light, affect the cars performance and fuel consumption. Also check underneath maybe you are missing a heat shield, maybe previously someone had a similar bright idea and decided it was u wanted and got rid of it, or missing insulation under the carpets if it has any If none of that is the case then it's just poor design from Mitsubishi and look into installing some insulation of your own like dynamat

It wasnt the case for me. My suspensions was very stiff. I was driving 140 Sharjah to Dubai with changing 3 lanes. @shadow79 i wasnt tailgating i was driving trough, like no one in front of me. When they see the huge beast is coming like that, they were moving. Now with Mercedes, my driving habit is changed, i am like our superman @Rahimdad these days.

Jeeps can't drive fast enough to tailgate anyone without shaking themselves to bits.

Only one problem with baogeng, when @shadow79 is talking we only hear kwak kwak. Hahahaha
