Looks like the whole world is amazed by Ford attempt of launching a capable off-roaders and not just an imposter in a plastic skin. This def need a separate topic only for Ford Bronco Meme.

I hear you completely @J J but not all drives are the same. I agree if wadi's are dry and flat, it gets monotonous and boring too quickly, but if it has ongoing challenges, inclined gradients, it adds to the thrill. I absolutely love mountains, just because of the heights, scenic beauty, view from different vantage point are totally amazing to drive or to chill out on top (after COVID finishes).

As part of continuous improvement and diversification, Carnity off-road club plans to add few mountain and wadi drives regularly to the off-road drives calendar. Depending on the interest, we might continue or alternate those drives with the help of senior off-roaders and marshals. As UAE mountain and wadi are very dynamic and seasonal, so we like to hear from the mountain explorers here who have recently visited such scenic places? Place should be safe enough to schedule a drive of 10-15 cars. You must have recently visited that place in the last 6 months time. Suggestions open to both levels - newbie (preferable) - fewbie (acceptable). It shouldn't be of an extreme rock crawling level (as of now). Feel free to suggest any place, that you must have heard from your friends/family recently so that we can plan a recce trip and scout the area before posting the drive. We really appreciate if you have tracks, route, coordinates to get in and out, would be really helpful in getting these started.

Me too and I already knew what to reply to Barry - no brainer.

OMG 😱

Totally Agree, Sharjah and Dubai consumer rights and DED are awesome and saved me 3 times with monkey mechanic and fake parts sellers.

Again you are EXACTLY doing what your mechanic wants and you will get no results. He wants you to pay for stupid parts for his mistake - You are doing it He wants you to take your Jeep when he has made a mess - You are doing it. Call him and say, return my jeep in same working condition as I gave you or in 24 hours I will go to Dubai Consumer Rights and DED to make a legal complain.

@syed salman raza I'm really sad to see what you are going through with. But you are simply toooooo good for this world and that's why your Jeep is in black hole since 10 days. Going to @Barry is a bad idea atm. Let this mechanic sort out or you will pay dearly. Call Dubai Consumer Rights and explain your side and ask them to resolve this for you. Ask your mechanic to return the car in same shape as you have given him. You shouldn't have wasted 700 for PCM repair and then scrap cost as that is the EXACT Rabit hole your mechanic is pushing you into. Stop FIRMLY and get legal help.

Of course because not everyone has a shiny resume like yours to race alongside Alonso and Vettel.

Oman?

@Rinelle Sanaani please upload photos in the Gallery under respective drive category. That's how Social Media team will reach. And photos should be portrait / squarish (preferable) rather than landscape / panoramic.

Then u should better keep your current 3.6 SC Wrangler.

Hi @Muzurisani welcome to Carnity off-road club and yes tow hooks are mandatory for every vehicle. You can find good quality and rated (very important) tow hooks in ACE hardware or Speedex. For installing them check the business listing here for general workshop category within your emirates.

You mean this one....? @J J sent me this last night. @Javier M must be super excited with these BIG numbers. WhatsApp Video 2020-07-13 at 9.11.11 PM.mp4

@Lisa Pemberton this drive is for absolute newbie and though you have already driven once, so you should join another morning newbie drive in Sharjah, please.

Has this Jeep flipped in the desert? To loose the top?

RIP Grant Imahara

of course yes, I totally agree with Fredy. So who paid for new PCM and how did he manage to shot the PCM of YJ (literally bomb proof 4x4)?

With lifted springs, bigger tires, offroad lights, looks like it's nicely used/abused (god knows) in the desert. If I am in your place, I would not buy this two main reasons: 1) US Specs 2) Already used in desert. Often YJ are pushed to extreme in the desert, so buying beaten up car with job loss story/fact doesn't sympathize me, as it simply doesn't check my all boxes.

As your current OEM setup is very close to Bilstein 3 Inch so I would suggest to go for 4 Inch shocks for various reason: To have an extra two inch of suspension travel when off-roading in tight uneven places. If with almost same size you are hitting bump stops, then choosing tad higher is better. I know old one must be worn out, but so as new will wear out in few years so to have a bit safety cushion is better for extending usable life. Last but not least if you change your mind to lift 1 more inch in future, you can do that without changing the shocks.

Do you want to lift more than 3" in the future? What is the stock suspension height? (fully extended and collapsed)?

I have been hearing about Bronco since 2016, finally this time looks they are going to be out soon. Love the Ford research and """""""THOUGHT OVER"""""" designs, gizmos and engineering. Surely they have employed real offroaders than just a designer to make things look pretty. Super Duper Like.

Thanks @Sreejith Sreenivasan for the info, this drive is for absolute newbie and though you have already driven once, so you should join another morning newbie drive in Sharjah. Same for you @h1fny please. Once you both sign in there, please notify me, so I can remove your RSVP from this drive. Thanks @Vineeth John Joseph @Neale Faulkner @Hennie Schoeman for the info and the confirmation. Please buy any tire pressure gauge (the minimum) for deflating your tires to 15 PSI. If you have radio (walkie-talkie) then please configure all 5 Carnity frequencies as listed in above tutorial. If not, I will hand you a spare radio for this drive. If you have shovel, flag and basic first aid kit, please bring it with you but it's not mandatory for Absolute Newbie drive. Please keep checking this space for more updates, prior to the drive especially on Thursday. @farazcan and @Enoch Mbatiah waiting to hear from you now.
