    A 2wd 4x4 is like a casterated man. You look, act and behave like a man but when it comes down to do it. You just can't get the job done

    There is currently a big law suit against Nissan in the US over this. That Nissan knows their CVTs are faulty and yet still willingly selling and have sold cars knowing this very well i.e purposely sold defective goods

    I know what you mean, been there done that.

    If you been in Dubai for a while now these hardly raise an eyebrow anymore. Because these exotics ain't that exotic here

    I had a 2018 Yaris as a rental for 4-5 months great car compared to the current rental I have, a 2019 Nissan Sunny which is an absolute POS in every way possible. Fuel consumption, comfort level, smoothness, looks inside and out, features. Miles ahead. I think the Yaris is a though act to follow in the mini Jap ecobox segment

    Hopefully but Pajeros by far has the worst rear bumper design of any 4x4 I know off. It made like a scoop which digs into the sand and then rips it's off. Makes me think the engineers totally slipped doing any serious desert testing Only effective way is to negate the scooping action of the bumper by closing the lip and securing it to rest of the frame

    Oh and The Mandolorian is also awesome

    I was subscribed to Netflix but found the local library too outdated and limited so unsubscribed. So I'll just name a few. The blacklist, Lost is space, Witcher. Unfortunately after the The big bang theory ended not much good comedy or sitcoms left. The neighborhood is good though and last Man standing. And there was this one with Ashton Kutcher which also ended

    I thought with everything virtually closed and a lot of people working from the forum would be buzzing with activity as people find ways to kill time at home but it's even more deserted than usual? ( Other than the long list of promotion threads ) Whats up with that?

    I saw a permanent fix for this a few days ago 😁

    You do realize most of your posts are replies to threads that are almost a decade old!

    These are known as V emblems common on many American cars during the 60s and 70s.

    No they are not the same. LSD has clutch plates in it and when one wheel start to spin they catch and transfer power to the other hence momentarily locking both wheels and you'll never find a center LSD diff. Only rear. Similar concept is there for all wheel drives in the center like RAV4 and Honda *RVs but that's called a torsen diff. Working principle is the same as LSD. A.Trac is just Toyotas fancy name for traction control.

    Center difflock is for full time 4wds which lock the front and rear diffs together. So if the front diff is spinning the rear is too. Crawl Control is just useless fancy pants bullshit just like hill descent control Maintains a certain low speed 5-10kms over terrain.

    Shit! Hadn't thought about that! And no not a pic with the worst ride I've ever owned!!!!!

    Time to get my leather pants out from storage, yes I do own a pair back from my rock band days
  18. desertdude
    Yeah traction control will mess with you in sand. And why do you want a snorkel. It just saps power. Even stock filter is good enough for this environment just give it a blast of compressed air after every off road excursion.

    Treks is saying the shackel along with the fabricated point.
  20. desertdude
    Oh ok. Anyways yeah he's already got them, so too late now. For me fir off road and on road use balance has been using HD coils with stock shocks.
  21. desertdude
    Is it too early to start dressing like this? Not its not, just because its got round lights doesn't make it so, probably a chevy bel air or some other old American land yatch

    Although this sounds a bit authoritarian but I total agree with it. I remember how frustrating it was to literally wait for hours just because someone did not have the decency to show up on time and people didn't start because they didn't want to offend or hurt anyone's feelings! Resulting in a tiny short drive for everyone because of one character. I can guarantee once someone is sent back they will never be late again!

    In a Ka?
  24. desertdude
    Good. This Rollin coal thing was getting outta hand.
  25. desertdude
    That's true but you are talking of full loaded and kitted out with steel overlanders. Might work for a empty nearly stock regular swb 4x4. No harm in trying as he's already got them
