On the hunt for a new radio, the 4 year old mechanic in our house got hold of my UV-5R and now its UV-Nothing... Anyway, any recommendation on the UV-9R which claims to have a better range? - is it worth the extra 20aed? - got quoted 120aed for the 9R vs 100aed for the 5R at DM of course.2 points

Steering rack rebuilt is indeed common. I remember getting it done for our Xterra and ended up around 800dhs. Depending on the type of shop and location this price will vary.2 points

untilDrive Details Level: Fewbie and above (all levels) Meeting time: 8:00 AM (SHARP - Without any exceptions) Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uSSuoGtrzEcxrKvW6 Action Plan: Another drive in one of the more pristine parts of Sweihan's desert. The area most driven in Sweihan, just left of the road leading to Al Ain, and close to a big farm vaguely resembling the shape of the African continent, is also known as .... "Africa". The side of Sweihan on the right of that same road, just opposite, and south of "Africa", is much more unspoiled, and offers just as much variety of dunes, bowls, and scenery. That's what we'll explore, either exiting at the camel drome just north of the Talal Resort, or perhaps going all the way back to Darzood (along the road from Al Ain, and closer to our starting point. Don't come in a hurry to return home, as we may take some time exploring this almost virgin area. Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance. What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Approximate finish time: 6:30 PM P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.1 point

Hi @Imran Asghar It is difficult situation if the spark plug and the cylinder head are seized due to high temperature. If you force it, it may break the thread on the cylinder head. Try to spray penetrating oil like WD40 bit more and soak it overnight. To prevent this happen in the future, we normally apply some anti-seized compound on every thread that exposed to extreme high temperatures like spark plug, exhaust manifold, turbocharger etc.1 point

Better range I don’t really believe, and would potentially only benefit the listener 😅. UV5R was known for lots of static, there’s a small software hack that solves this, I can send you more info if you need. I think the UV9R won’t be having this issue.1 point

You can start with a door pillar rubber seal and beading, remove and re-fix it again with a firm hand to test again. Sometimes car inspection guy removes it to check for an accident and doesn't push it properly with a firm hand.1 point

That's a good point of concern, but hoping and trusting Toyota and LC flagship it will perform well. Turbos and Supercharge need to be perfectly tuned with an engine to kick at the right time for off-road use. Single turbo mostly has a lag, this lag reduced a lot on the supercharger and then twin turbo surpasses with newer tech. Ram TRX is SC Ford Raptor is Twin Turbo Raptor R is SC So going with regular applications and competitors opting for off-road applications, I am more than sure TT in LC will perform well in sand too. @essam ibrahim Is your LC is Twin Turbo? Please share your views on power usage in demanding off-road situations.1 point

Best way is to get to good engineering (lathe) workshop and ask them to remove it. Still if they break, they have a opposite thread drill bit kind of tool with which they can drill on broken head and remove it.1 point
