One HELL-OF-A-MARKETING-TEAM to make and sell the crate engine with all ancillary items to support the swap than leaving the car enthusiasts like an orphan or unwanted child. ALL CAR MAKERS - Please learn from Dodge plug and play approach in a car world to make money in a win-win situation than stuffing consumers with fixed options. Soon the day will come that we can build our own spec cars like PC's

Albert and Ramesh were amazing offroad legends that I have come across in UAE and always ready to help and support the offroad enthusiasm at any time, also Idris, Yahya & James were amazing offroaders. Glad to hear about them after a very long time, last I remember from 2006 when Ramesh used to have a black wrangler. Maybe someday when I have a few free months to practice and little spare cash will see to fulfill the rally dream.

Rallying used to be my all time dream be it on bike, cars or 4x4 than short races. Any clue how much it cost to enter Dakar as a privateer....? (Still dreaming)

BMW trouble-free lifespan is 3-5 years. If you are lucky and get a clean car that has been maintained to the perfection then 6-7 years, must be the case of Sertac X5. I know friend's and family whose Bimmers are failing within warranty but it doesn't hurt as it comes back with free new parts and only cost the downtime in AGMC. Bottom line, buy BMW which is in warranty or ready for gambling.

How can we not talk about SLS63 in most pretty faces in the car world?

Maybe worth complaining to them about this issue if you have spend money for the latest version (than cracked or pirated copy).

Indeed like every other Pajero said, I do agree 2-3 inch lift is good and sufficient for offroading. Also, Ren13 comment is for extreme cornering like roundabout at 80 and above, he is an ex-corvette guy lol. For normal road user and if you are driving the same 4x4 from some time, you will not feel much difference in cornering tbh. For Pajero most important offroad mod is the reinforcing the rear bumper with a solid metal plate to avoid scooping the sand which results in breaking the rear bumper within a couple of drives. Old Man EMU VS Ironman is a tough call but can be decided based on the product you put your hands on. Old Man EMU being quite old and offer a reasonable mix of comfort for road + firmness for offroad as oppose to Ironman that is more oriented towards offroad means you will lose road comfort more unless you choose their adjustable shocks (if they have), which will be eventually more expensive.

@Barry you are not the only one Ferrari fan here, I do share the same passion for F40 and slightly more for F50 GT from where it all started from my school days. I do use to have centerfold wallpaper stuck in my room for these beauties. To everyone surprise, until today I ask my brother to buy me a real Ferrari on my every birthday when he insists on a gift. This one for you Barry

Very nice topic @Barry I have just two PET Hates When someone behind you come close with a supersonic speed + gives you instant flash as if we can't see such huge FUGLY car + Don't wait to see if the car in front can steer right or not (no free lane) + After coming in front brake intentionally. When the car in front of you is slower by 20-30 kmph than road limit and still adamant to drive on the fast lane. I usually go close and wait for few seconds for a person to realize, but some AH don't even realize for minutes and then don't even react with tiny blip unless you flash them full beam x 10 times like a donkey.

Many thanks, @Asif Hussain for well researching this amazing area for a long time and then waiting patiently for better weather. All in all, everything paid back with big smiles on everyone faces after seeing Umm Al Oash enormous dunes. We have done Al Wagan last year and couldn't reach to these star dunes due to the fencing in between but Asif bhai dedicated research found an easily accessible way to these dunes. Excellent navigation and planning skills to scout an unknown territory. Maybe next time we should plan a whole day drive as in such a tricky area every stuck can be time-consuming, so we should have enough time on hand to explore these enormous and almost virgin dunes. Hope they stay like that during the season time too, lol. Everyone's drive, support, and teamwork were at the best and that's why we all could enjoy in spite of little hiccup with the Wrangler. Thanks, everyone for posting pictures in the gallery

Mohammed bin Sulayem is a true UAE legend and I totally agree that he is one of the most humble motorsport icons of the UAE. Last time @Rahimdad got lucky too to get the biggest gift of being his fan from childhood.

Glad you understood the actual point, as that's what has been missed by the majority of drivers. And yes I have also seen driver seeing the sky than the road as if some alien invasion is going to happen today. P.S. My mirror is adjusted fully outward, but I leaned to get the good comparative pic. This is in Pajero

Like always @desertdude you are missing the big point that video guy trying to make like many of other drivers. IRRESPECTIVE of concave, convex, flat and double layered side view mirror, if the driver doesn't know how to adjust them correctly that SUBSTANCE is a waste of resources. People adjust the side view mirror seeing half of their cars and half road, whereas per that video when you tilt toward each side of side view mirror you are 95% seeing the road and just 5% your car. This change in adjustment literally increase the side view mirror reach and showing you every possible blind. I have fixed this in all my cars and literally never again twisting my neck or shoulder to check the blind spot. This is how flat or concave mirror comes in 2012 Range Rover.
