I just came back from that trip, made 3800km in 7 days including mountains, wadis, desert, 600km unpaved roads. All this in a Defender. With an LR3 the drive will be just more comfortable but also without no issues regarding the distance. As Kim said, just give it a good service before since there are not many garages on the way down and you might not wait to be recovered in the now rather hot period.
My worst was recently a damaged clutch cylinder that lead to the problem of being unable to shift gears. Happened in a remote area in the middle of Oman, but made it down to Salalah where it could be fixed within two hours. Good thing about (most) Land Rovers is the simple mechanics.
Oh Udyan, as if I don't have other issues than playing it that way, really no need for that. Don't assume, that doesn't lead anywhere. Pretender. I still don't share the number on here. Whatever.
Hi Silvera6, I seem to be blocked for private messages, can't read yours. Send me an email to [email protected]. Don't want to post a phone number officially on here.
I am a big fan of the Front Runner roof racks. They are slim, versatile and not overprized. Icon Auto has them or can ship them. Slimline allows you to get still in the parking with 2.10m, if no roof tent or other stuff mounted.
Hi Callen, since I am not allowed to send private messages on here anymore...hope it works out. Should be well looked after. And for the tomorrows drive, we'll have more in the future. The one tomorrow is an easy one. You'll enjoy the next one on a Saturday I hope.
The location has been selected now. We will meet at 2.30pm in front of the Dubai Outlet Mall: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.074567 ... 1&t=h&z=19
Please bring food, water, maybe a grill and firewood. The BBQ spot will be located close to a main road for an easy exit at any time.
Great to meet again, Gaurav. You can as much of your family as your ride can handle. I think there will be more families around.
