    They are doing a desert safari, instead of self-driving 😝

    @syedyaseer Where is the Prado Pie in the pie chart?

    @vsmano @ARS @Shamil @Anas Assaf @Yagya To All Absolute Newbies, please make sure that your car has front and back tow hook for tomorrow drive. Also, appreciate if you can share which car you drive and if you have any previous sand offroad experience?

    My skill set matches exactly with you on this.

    Leave your concious at home on Friday then or else you will feel guilty of 6k rev at times and 2-3k revs at all the time.

    I have read many car owners manual and never spotted a section specifically for what to do after offroad drives. They all have how to check and inspect fluids, quantity and there specs in general. I think @edouard has hit that nail very well with his thread.

    Welcome @vsmano to Carnity and Its offroad club, this drive will be perfect for absolute newbies.

    Good input @Javier M and thanks for sharing the full-length video to get these little cuts for learning Let's see what others have to say more......!
  11. Gaurav

    See if you love this Gen2 Pajero for any reason, old memory, old love, some soft corner then go ahead and buy and live with it and you will enjoy it. If Gen2 Pajero is just another beater 4x4 then stay away from this, as they get pricey very quickly due to Mitsubishi expensive spare parts, long wait for some special spare parts due to unavailability. Buying a 10 years old Xterra is better than 20 years old Pajero (older engineering), that require a lot of money to bring it back to the suitable state for weekend warrior - suspension, steering, engine, AC, engine cooling, transmission. I remember spending tons on engine cooling when I first bought it. On road - no heating, engage 4x4 and within 5 mins it starts heating up. You just can't buy this 20-year-old Pajero for 8-10K and straight into the desert for the next 1 year. You might have to spend 5-10k more to bring it to 100% usable strength for offroad so it can take a weekend bashing.

    It's not on Saturday, this drive is on Friday
  14. Gaurav
    Just like to mention, that timing is 6:30AM and not 7:00 like previous drives.
  15. Gaurav
    After buying 10k ride and spending 5 -7 k for mods and overhauling, better to buy 20k Xterra, in stock condition it can outperform most of the capable 4x4.
  16. Gaurav
    Naah, don't do that strength doest multiply in metal like this that 4x2=8 Drive it for now and when this gets bad hit or deform, change it to 6/8 mm.

    You mean with 500K and not 500 Dhs. lololol. @AKR bash plate was a must in your case and good you sorted it out. You should have discussed the thickness here before getting it done as 4MM is borderline OK and might bend with a hard impact. Ideal bash plate thickness should be 6-8MM at least.

    It's a good decision @syedyaseer to have a separate offroad ride than your daily driver. Go through this classic post, solely made for this advice

    Thanks for this heads up @G.huz I always wanted to try these out to be honest after seeing several marketing videos. However, I have spent all my life in marketing and advertising so believe too little on those videos and always shy to buy these stuff because of my single concern: Breaking or damaging flaps inside the wheel arc. Can you please explain more in detail how these can damage the wheel if the car has enough clearance?

    until

    I think you already joined the newbie drive I posted. Looking fwd to see you again. Hi ARS, you can join the offroad club and then start with an absolute newbie drive first so that you can get detailed briefing and 4x4 familiarization. If you have previous offroad experience, then do share with us on drive thread, so that we can monitor your skills and promote you to the fewbie level as per Carnity Grading Structure

    Superb article on almost all points well covered. Slight addition I like to make on a few aspects: Kinetic recovery ropes or straps have plenty of advantages of softer pull, elastic effect but also has few downsides. After every tug kinetic ropes need some time to recover the elasticity. You can't or shouldn't use kinetic ropes on stuck that require hard tugs to reposition vehicle nose or back - when stuck in a wedge situation. Straps if it's from a proper offroad brand like bushranger or TJM, they need not be a 3-4 inch wide and still do the job very nicely for years as per what they are rated for. I think @Srikumar using one of those and still works fine. Industrial Webbing, often confused with rated straps as they look similar but that's where the logic of 3-4 (min-width) plays an important role. I'm still using (occasionally now) 5-inch wide Liftek Webbing Sling since more than 10 years now and its really capable of dragging heavyweight uphill or giving a hard tug to reposition vehicle with jerks, as sometimes you need these jerks when straight recovery isn't possible. @Mujtaba @Melvin Martin now you know when buying your next webbing, brand rating and width is very important than breaking them frequently.
