Well deserved @Emmanuel. Always a question to better the situation. Like a child, innocently seeking to better things. Proud to have a Marshal like you in Carnity. So dedicated and always ready to support in any capacity required. Keep up the great attitude.

Trip Report. So we all gathered at the meeting point. One look at the participants and the thought of a newbie drive was out, it had to be a Fewbie drive. All agreed and we were off to the deflation point after a quick brief. After deflation and a quick word from @Gaurav bhai we were off. With me in lead, @G.huz in second lead did an amazing job to keep the convoy safe at all times. @shadow79 was third and made alternate routes to make it manageable whenever I found myself in any trouble. @Emmanuel kept busy in the middle, while @Shamil was closely following and @Gaurav bhai in sweep. The terrain is always pleasurable but challenging with some soft white sand. Some very smooth surface, and some really sharp ridges to cross. We had our bit of adventure with a few refusals and stucks, but all well managed. Finally a pop-out which once again gave me a bit of a chance to catch a little sleep which helped me a lot. Finally after a tough but pleasurable drive we settled down for some tea and snacks. Everybody got some really delicious treats, but it was @Gaurav bhai turn to tell us some awesome stories. Loved this side of him. After pack up we headed out, inflated and headed home. Overall well timed drive with great company and loved the night out with like minded people. Until next time adios amigos.

duuuuuuuuuuude... this is big awesome news super happy for you new BIG terrains, some one is coming at you

Very nicely managed @Emmanuel.

Congrats @Emmanuel what a wonderful news... keep it up.

What a big surprise ! Thanks @Gaurav, @Rahimdad and everyone.

100 Points awarded to @Gaurav for explaining and sharing the "desert recovery training video".

Congratulations @Emmanuel for reaching the Marshal level with Carnity Offroad club. It is one of the most prestigious and sought after title that comes with a lot of hard work, patience, tolerance, and dedication. Just like all the levels in Carnity offroad club is "NOT" only based on driving skills but instead based on the combination of your personality + intelligence + team spirit + adventure. This Marshal title is an epitome for all levels in the offroad grading structure. So if anyone wants to grow, they can set Marshal as a PERFECT example for not only following the driving style but observing their behavior, teamwork, presence of mind, calculative approach, patience and tolerance to teach and support new offroaders. Once again congratulations Emmanuel and best wishes for your next adventure! Our new French Marshal enjoying the desert with Jawaher (Xterra) at Moreeb Dunes, Liwa.

Positioning is very important and then the tug intensity - gradual to constant pull than jerking that may result in flip instantly. Well done @Emmanuel Key things for every offroader to notice and learn here: Tried self recovering first to the max. Clear sand from front tires on both sides. Identify a safe spot to recover with least force - Front and left side. Position car with utmost precision to deliver just a minimal tug at right angle. Stuck 4x4 wheels pointing left to support the recovery process by using engine power. Started with a soft tug and then applied a pulling strength and not a jerk to cause a flip.

Well done 😃

wow this is great news. Congratulations @Emmanuel. Super happy for you. And also, its good to know that my fellow xterra guy is a marshal now 😎

Wonderful news. Congrats Emmanuel. So happy for you.

Wow congrats @Emmanuel !!!!!!! More than deserved, you’ve been giving us so much help, support, guidance, and always keeps a cool head yet always hungry for more challenges and more things to learn !

Impressive...even with that kinetic one which is designed to accommodate tugs

You are right, but the overall contribution of regenerative braking is very small.

congratulations bhai...

Hey @Emmanuel, Congratulations, You deserve it ! This means more sweets for the next drive Agree to @Frederic always keeps a cool head yet always hungry for more challenges 😎

Mabrook!! Keep Exploring Dunes..

Perfection..... Great job @Emmanuel !

RTA Vehicle Testing is mandatory all across the Emirates in UAE. RTA vehicle renewal is a part of vehicle ownership in the UAE as well as many other developed countries, to check for faults that may endanger lives. There are several RTA testing centers in UAE, conveniently placed and open for long working hour for RTA test. Tasjeel is run by ENOC in Dubai, Sharjah and northern emirates with many Tasjeel vehicle testing branches. Shamil vehicle testing is run by EMARAT in Dubai and Sharjah with few testing centers. Wasel vehicle testing is run by BELHASA group in Dubai in Jadaf area. Adnoc vehicle inspection center is run by ADNOC in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and western region. Below is a list of tests performed during RTA Vehicle testing, along with tips to repair or prevent the issues: Vehicle identification: They will match your chassis number and registration. Emissions: They have three categories - carburetor petrol engine, fuel injected petrol engine, and diesel engine. Regular oil changes and visits to the mechanic will keep emissions under control. Braking system: Will be inspected for leaks, warped rotors, worn drums, squeaks, and performance. The handbrake will be checked too. Steering system: Checked for play. The couplings and joints must be in good condition. Visibility: This test checks the tint on your windows, your rear view mirror, and condition of the windshield glass, the wipers, and the washers. Remember to fill up on washer fluid. If you have rock chips in your windshield, you can repair it by filling it with resin. The kit is not cheap, but neither is a windshield. Lighting equipment: Examination of your high and low beams for position and brightness. Your headlight lenses must be clear as well. A yellowed headlight can be restored with some 3000-grit sandpaper and some polish. Running gear: Your vehicle axles, wheels, and tires will be checked. Most cars that fail this test either have worn CV joints or loose steering arms. Suspension problems can be detected easily by the sound your car makes when going over bumps. Put some lithium grease on your bushings to keep them flexible and last longer. Chassis and frame attachments: Any strut bars or braces, mounts, and the frame are inspected to ensure there is no structural rust or unrepaired accident damage. You can repair a rusted frame by cutting out the rusted parts and welding in uncorroded metal. RTA recommends that all aftermarket under body protection gear must be removed prior to the inspection. Key equipment check: Is your driver’s seat mounted properly? Your battery must be secured in position. All audible warnings that came with the car must be functioning as per GCC specifications. They will also check to see if you have your warning triangle in the trunk. Feel free to place the triangle in a more conspicuous place to help out the inspectors. Your seat belts would be checked as well.

The one who voted for this timing is in maybe 🤣

Looks like a Montero Sport crashed into a Prado

Boy that's ugly

Does anyone has experience using the Pedal Commander ? I particularly like the Eco mode which could help you saving fuel, and the sport mode for faster throttle response. i like the fact that it’s plug and play and doesn’t mess with the ECU. It just connects between your throttle pedal. Looking into ways to make my 2008 Pajero a bit more quicker to respond. Now the power comes more slowly when pressing the pedal. https://www.pedalcommander.com/

Have a look at a 2021 Pajero design from Enoch Gabriel Gonzales: https://www.behance.net/gallery/81678393/2021-Mitsubishi-Pajero

When you think about the meaning of Pajero in Spanish, anything is an improvement!

Accuracy has been already discussed above that its more of vehicle issue than the Google maps.

Ok for now I’ve uploaded it to YouTube with the existing audio so let me see if stays or not. Here’s the link:

Yes its there, but you can use any copyright free music. https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music?nv=1 https://www.bensound.com/ https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/download-copyright-free-music-youtube-videos/ https://vidooly.com/blog/youtube-royalty-free-music-sites-for-creators/

Problem with uploading to YouTube is it might get taken down due to copyright issues on the audio track. I have faced this issue before as well.

Make sure they rated for Xterra and reinforced them nicely on the bumper. Swivel neck is good option so we can recovery you now from any angle.

Poor Steve gets so much flak for that one screw up

There is a bigger problem AFAIK if you let a Tesla go completely dead then you are in deep shit and it's not a matter of just recharging your dead phone and it's up in no time.

That’s exactly the whole discussion that’s going on at the moment with electric vehicles. You’re never 100% green with your electrical car until you are sure that the electricity needed to recharge it is coming from renewable sources like solar, hydro, or wind, and not from coal plants. On top of that the mining of rare earths will create a complete market shift and might make South America the new Middle East. cobalt, nickel, graphite, lithium... All these materials and the countries who possess them will be soon doing strategical investments to prepare for the future. The poorer countries that lack the investment power will probably find an investment partner in China, which will eventually result in China taking over that complete business if nobody stops them. https://www.google.ae/amp/s/theconversation.com/amp/politically-charged-do-you-know-where-your-batteries-come-from-80886 Exactly, on top of that you need 40amps according to Tesla, so a regular 16 or 20 amps outlet won’t do it, or will drastically increase charging time.

You can recharge your electric car with any electrical plug. It will take time but it will recharge. Specially in UAE cities are too close. Fully charged electric car making around 450km by today`s standards. Which mean if you are in the middle of Abu Dhabi and Dubai and if you are stupid enough to not check you electric gauge. I am sure that that car will warn you many red lights before electric is fully finished. You can enter any fuel station or restaurant and you can charge your car enough to reach next city in 2-3 hours( you will be already pass maybe 60-70km and you need to go other 60-70km which means you need %15 electric). This will happen once in a 10 year. Since i start driving 10 years past and i never face no fuel or no electric issue.

I’d like to see someone invent an emergency battery pack, something like the size of the old style battery boosters that you could carry around in the boot like you would carry a Jerry can of petrol. Not a full charge, but enough to get you to the charging point. I don’t think it’s such a major issue anyway. You can stick a high wattage inverter in the breakdown trucks which can be used to charge the dead car enough to get it to the charging point. But, I think @sertac is right. Treat it like a petrol car, watch the fuel (electricity) gauge and don’t let it run out you wouldn’t let your car run out of petrol, why would you let it run out of electricity. I think the electric car companies are missing out on a trick putting solar panels of the roof of the cars. It won’t generate massive power but you could leave your car in the parking lot when you’re at work and get a little boost.

SURPRISE. Damn flags on profiles are super small.

Have you ever noticed vehicles with DRL's and no DRL's on your rear view mirror when driving on highways ?

Mitsubishi brand guidelines must be rolling in its grave seeing so many weird brand positioning. Especially the main cactus growing mitsu logo in WWF format. Oh, I think most funny was V12.

DRL's increases the visibility of your car, so that other drivers can see you on the road, it looks kool too !!

I personally haven't used this but a friend of mine has this on his jeep cherokee(hes not very pleased with it) and i have been part of discussions about the actual use of this contraption. Basically what this device offers is something that can be achieved by giving the right gas at the right time. so bottom line is that it is not a must have for offloading as such and the eco mode is something whereby the practical results have not matched the claims of the manufacturer in terms of the percentage reduction in gas mileage.
