  2. The showrooms over charge by 25 - 30% in the name of ease of paper work and some useless warranty. Try searching for a personnel sale, you'll save enough for a few necessary mods and maintenance for a whole year.

  6. do you mean in Sajaa ? Personally I never had issues to find a part. If not available in scrap market, at least you can find everything at Nissan spare parts or am I wrong ?

  13. I agree ruba is an awesome and ultimate offroader and my dream offroader too, but sadly primitive and truck style zero comfort wont appeal 90% weekend warrior, that's why I didnt mentioned it. "STOCK" LWB lc and patrol with boat weight doesn't stand a chance in front of Xterra and FJC.

  14. WOW! Man thats a broad sweeping statement. And mostly untrue. Available at Al Futtaim right now for 141k. LWB version avialable through Dynatrade or Burami Also available at the Nissan showroom in LWB or SWB form new with the 4.9 VTC monster engine Wont post the Land Cruiser 200 series as some people are allergic to it!

  16. Again somebody woke up at wrong side of the bed. Damn it. Xterra and FJC are only two best, capable, reliable, dependable, competent, purpose built Japanese 4x4 in stock state. @Jamy B. go with Xterra from private deal and you can get within 2012 (30k) - 2015 (50k) benchmark pricing.

  17. Well bright spark if you would have looked it up you would have known the donkey cart sprung Xterra is actually a 100kgs heavier than a 4dr V6 prado. All the weight of those big squeaky donkey cart leaf springs does add up! Oh and the SWB is lighter by around half a ton As for the FJ cruiser I use to love it until I actually drove it. Horrible 360 visibility, its like driving while wearing a niqab. With that tiny slit in the front. Off road is even worse, You go up a tiny dune and all you see is the sky, go down a tiny drop and all you see is the ground. Side peripheral which I sometimes use to aid in these kind of situations is also horrible. I think the new ones are coming with a dual tank set up but the early ones came with a gas tank the size of a small masafi bottle and had to be refueled every 500 mtrs. The rear door and seats are there just for namesake but practicality wise useless. The only people who are real fan of the FJ are the serious modding fan club. With big lift kits and huge tyres, baja style bumpers and what not. Hard to even tell there is an FJ under all that. But then I've seen those FJs tackle some serious terrain too.

  18. Horse power is “as low as” 260, so don’t worry for that... Suspensions are not the greatest you can find on the market, I agree on that, but if you want to go for very extreme off-road, you can always upgrade them (or just listen to@desertdude and buy a LandCruiser or any 4 tons Toyota 😂 ) As pointed by @Gaurav I think you can find a cheaper deal for a low mileage used Xterra. FJ is also a good option to consider.

  19. Why would you want to pay 70k for something which literally has suspension from the donkey cart era

  20. Wow @Srikumar nice trip report. Great going @Javier M looks like you've taken up the sweep position as your own. Heard good things about your lead too. @Shamil really happy to hear positive things about your improvement and control. Glad you're learning well and putting it into practice.

  21. Highly overpriced. Look for private deal than from dealers which will be always 20-30% overpriced.

  22. Trip Report - With the mornings getting more pleasant I was quite eager to reach the meeting point and start the drive in one of my favourite areas, Al Faqa. At 6:00 am I got a call from @AKR mentioning that he had just got up as he missed the alarm. Guess he didn't sacrifice his Thursday night routine after all. So we were down to 3 cars with Shamil in middle and Xavier in sweep duties. After a bit of warming up on some nice dunes we started encountering the famous long range dunes of Al Faqa. Now, when you are ridge riding on long range dunes it's important to know at what point to exit out. @Shamil realised that a bit late and we had our first stuck right down the middle on the top of a tall dune. After a lot of shovelling to clear up the underbelly of the car, @Javier M recovered him in the safest possible manner. Well done Javier. The advantage of a small convoy is the pace that can be maintained and with a good set of capable drivers I was very soon side slopping and ridge riding on every possible dune. Except for a couple of stucks the drive was extremely smooth and I must say that @Shamil did surprise me with his precise car control in some of the places. Also the increase in his confidence could be seen as we drove longer. We totally covered a distance of approx 50 kms in a drive time of about 2.5 hours. Special thanks to @Javier M for supporting the drive. Look forward to more such wonderful drives with you guys. Till then Adios Amigos.

  26. I'm really sorry to tell you that you don't deserve Prado, just kidding. Poor Prado soul must be weeping down in the parking lot right now after reading this. Toyota Prado is one of the best and capable 4x4 in the market that comes offroad ready in a stock state. Going more on 4x4 differentiations: 4x4 have LOW gearing and SUV don't 4x4 have locking differentials (front, central and rear) and SUV's don't 4x4 have better suspension travel and SUV's don't Some 4x4 even have adjustable firm suspension for offroad and SUV's don't 4x4 have front and back tow hook and SUV's generally don't 4x4 have better ground clearance and SUV's generally don't 4x4 most of the time have better tires unlike low profile tires that come in SUV's 4x4 most of the time built on chassis unlike most of SUV's are unibody 4x4 gearing has better torque for a climb and towing that no SUV's offers 4x4 usually carry fewer gizmos and computers for better reliability than SUV's
