I’m afraid I haven’t been good this year (my last name is, literally, Baadi)!! If I do ask him for that, he might bring me a Picanto, or whatever the equivalent of coal in cars is 😁

Wish you a very Happy Birthday Emmanuel. May god give you a lot of tall dunes to enjoy with Jawaher (Xterra). Enjoy your day Mr. Velociraptor.

Don't mind to take something with me for you, only the delivery is sometimes unreliable. I only stay 2 days in the USA for work, and when we are going to order something, we have to be sure it will be delivered in this timeframe. Ordering too early, the risk exist that my schedule changes and nobody can pick it up. Ask Santa for a nice 4x4

I’ve just finished Christmas shopping and trip preparation, nonstop since the morning. If I’m not there in time that means Mr. Sandman dictated I stay in and therefore see you all next year! (Unless you organize an afternoon or evening drive before Thursday 😁)

With overnight delivery right......? 😝

now i know whom to approach if i need to order car parts from the states 😎

start on 26th Dec 2019 and ends on 10th Jan 2020

Deep dish rims are good ides to solve both issues but it is expensive and also require some custom brake job to fit them. H&R spacers are good but majority here are fake unless you buy from authorized retailer. It's a very good known brand and that's why market are flooded with replicas. I would go with spacer choice (reversible mod) and stick to your model specific ones even if you have to import from US with xaf overnight delivery option, lol.

bon anniversaire Emmanuel!

Yes wheel spacers can be found as universal ones but these are crap as they don’t have a center hub so alignment might become an issue. Better to order the ones specific for XJ online. Maybe some of the Dubai off-road shops have some on the shelf. H&R is a very good brand but a bit pricey. I got 35mm spacers front and back with center hub second hand via my workshop where a guy ordered them specifically for Pajero but never collected them. When buying rims look at the ET value. This is the offset value.

Happy Birthday Emmanuel! Hope you have many more in good health.

Happy Birthday Emmanuel. Have a super year. Cheers.

Double check if you can use steel rims with the spacers. Mine are saying, "don't use with steel rims"

Ali express is no benchmark, please. Call Gulf star, National Auto parts in shj for quick price check to decide.

@desertdude I definitely do not mind going to Sharjah. I can actually do it on Sunday.

If you don't mind going to Sharjah I can hook you up with a Land Rover Specialist. Works fast and work is solid and very reasonably priced. P.S : AliExpress is all Chinese junk

Ooooh DJ Krush, John Coltrane, Biohazard... Nice !!! but very eclectic You'll probably like DJ Shadow too. (check out his album Endtroducing) France has a LOT more to offer than a Canadian goose called Celine Dion. Just a few: * Daft Punk * Serge Gainsbourg * Air * Phoenix * Erik Satie * Charles Aznavour * Laurent Garnier * Indochine

I think that's because of the time zone. Drive is on 13th Dec at 6:15 am

Hi Srikumar, I don’t know it is due that I am in the US now, but the calendar Is saying that the drive starts at 08:15 pm on the 12th. But the drive is on the 13th starting at 06:15, correct?

Is someone is interested in i have a set of 5 18" rims in flawless condition with older tires (3 years 6mm tread left) and Im looking for a set of 17" rims is someone is interested in trading. If someone have a spare set i might be interested in buying too if price is right. Or maybe can point me to a scrapyard or something that might have? Regards Per
