I believe this friday i will there for iftar drive.

I would add safety high in my list, especially here in Dubai. You need a car were you have a chance to survive even if a nutcase in a supercharged Nissan Patrol slams into you. This has become even more important since i got kids.

I'll be coming with Wifey's car, kids, and mother in law..., please send me your thoughts and prayers 🤣

mabrook dude, looks really nice... i guess this means we'll be seeing you on the sand pretty soon

@srini62 Emmanuel has just donated 100 points and you can upgrade to Active Membership now without any frustrations. @Dubasel Welcome to Carnity and it's offroad club, if you are a contributor then you can earn these 100 points in a day or two by posting a new topic, replying to others, liking or appreciating any comments, posting pictures in the gallery etc. After 9 years of consideration and observation - Carnity has taken this bold step to prefer 1 active member against 1000 sleeping members, to keep this one and only "Active" Car Community alive in UAE.

My personal opinion on what matters the most for me is the reliability of the vehicle, should provide adequate power on and off road, with a 3rd row fold-able seat when required, In addition to that Cruise control is my good friend during the highway rides by not only maintaining speed limits but also to be fuel efficient. At the end of the day, We get what we pay for !

will join for sure

Sure you and your friend can hop in with any one of us, I always have one seat to spare being SWB and I'm sure others will have more seats to share. Come to the meeting point, as the start and exit point is the same.

As you all know. I bought a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 4.0 Inline 6 engine. So it is like after some break i replace my legendary money pit Cherokee with this Grand Cherokee. I got the car yesterday. Till now i drove around 200km and first impressions are very good. It was a well maintained family car. It is way comfortable than Cherokee. It has the same engine with Cherokee. Seats, mirrors, windows are electric operated. It has infinity gold sound system(not that nice actually). What i like is it is all original not modified and no accident in history. I will try to keep it in this condition. I am not planing any modification or any change.

At Iftar Bowl - Once in a year all UAE Offroaders gathering This unique opportunity is not be missed, whether you are a current or ex offroader. It's a very rare and special sight to witness thousands of offroaders joining in one place for breaking there fast to celebrate the unity in diversity in the UAE. It's being held with unsaid coordination with all off-road clubs and approx 1000 car shows up every year in Iftar bowl area near Rafadah in Area 53. Whether you are fasting or not, it's a must drive to attend to watch the union of off-roaders and witness the love and respect that everyone shares in this small world of offroading. I have never failed to attend a single Grand Iftar Drive in the past 12 years and always enjoyed meeting some of my old off-road friends and making new friends. The plan is to enter from Rifadah side with the easiest track to reach Iftar bowl and secure a good spot - FIRST. Meet and greet, play at Iftar bowl - then break the fast and head for the night drive or exit if you like. When: 17 May 2019, Friday Meeting time: 5 PM, the convoy will move sharply at 5:15 PM Where: Rifadah Entrance GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/BoTQvikrc1rheWYu7 Level of drive: Absolute Newbie - Newbie - Fewbie - Expert - Advance - All are welcome Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 10 inches of ground clearance What to bring along: Evening snacks, food for Iftar - whatever you like with little extra to share Approximate finish time: 8 PM or 11 PM Please RSVP on the below calendar:

so we have a super nice post about good off road cars with a price range, and then sort of a price gathering tool, but what about pick up trucks for off road? are they good for off road? how do they compare to cars? what are the good ones? what should we look for? pros and cons and all that, are they affordable?

Nice one !!

Mabrook. Looks clean.

LC or Patrol swb

Going back to my classic question: How many pickups you have seen in the desert? Maybe 1:10 Friend of mine bought Tundra SWB single cab, I think with supercharged or he added on and sold after 6 months to go back to LC SWB. When he bought it, he was all excited and peppy about Tundra but when he changed, he did it quietly. All the marketing commercials of pickup talking about unleash your freedom, to be more manly and live like a king is a lifestyle touch for people who use these trucks to reach from point A to B in the desert and then camp and have tea, bbq and shisha whole night. Those people have different 4x4 for a different lifestyle needs + 1 wrangler or capsula with LS engine for dune bashing.

Good topic. My neighbor who’s an Emirates pilot has a beautiful avalanche in his garage. Would love to take it out of his hands one day 😁 On the other hand I have a friend who’s driving a Ford Ranger 3.2 Diesel Wildtrak. It’s constantly sitting in the workshop because sand gets in his Turbo 😖 According to the stealership he shouldn’t use it for off-road, while that’s just the selling point of the Wildtrak. Go figure...

Great @yogic72 in that case @Carnity is developing you with car knowledge, off road knowledge and technical knowledge. Where else can you find one forum that can develop you on so many grounds.

Thanks gaurav and Emmanuel, lets hope I do not have to keep getting my points donation begging bowl out each month. look forward to seeing you all on 17 th may regards srini

@desertdude thanks for letting me know.. I am a little challenged when it comes to social media. I belong to the era where we made conversation instead of posting blogs and posts. 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for your offer @Gaurav but my friend is a desert virgin so I want to keep him close to me and take care of him

I would like to have a car thats Reliable and that Performs well. Something that will keep me away from the Garage and will get by just regular Oil Change and Service.

Does anyone have 2 spare seats? One for me and one for my work friend.

Pulled out a guy at the desert near my house yesterday who got crested while taking his first steps with his new Wrangler. We had a lovely chat and he promised to join the carnity off-road club from now on 😂 Welcome to the club Jude 😂😉
