Awesome bike and awesome ride, I'm seeing it for the first time. Go ahead with bikers club too, ill join and I'm sure few more bikers will jump in.

Use Google Satelite, it's crispy clear on 16 x zoom level. In some area, it has an overlap of images and discolors from one tiled image to another but still, dunes formation is fully readable. If you can't read dunes now, then I am sure after few drives and comparing the phone screen to real life dunes in front you, you will pick up that art very soon.

If you have Motion X then you don't need anything else, just import the track in motion X, go to the place and it will constantly show you that track and also it can record your track if record track is switched on. Motion X is one the BESTEST application I have tried for offline GPS that supports the topography maps to show you the dunes formation even. That's how I first drove in this area in 2017, by avoiding the small technical dunes and going over the medium and big dunes. Of course, you need mobile internet for constant topography update, but in UAE Etisalat coverage is awesome unless you are deep inside Liwa. Btw, @Rahimdad has recently used one of the Motion X track by intelligently importing in some Android App, so will wait to hear from him and see how he did it and how good was that.

I have 2012 Range Rover Supercharged since few months and I also noticed this similar loud fan noise almost all the time now. I assume that in this peak summer when AC condenser is working overtime so the engine fan or AC fan must be working hard to keep the engine cooled. Have you experience this in a cooler month, as in this hot months, when you start the car inside of the car is, even more, hotter than outside and AC cooling must be working hard in summer months, to bring the cabin temp down asap. Secondly, when you cold start any car, revs, and fan is always high (1500 rpm) and then settle down in 15-30 seconds in all Land Rovers to 800-900 RPM. However, you can try this that start the car in the night and drive for 5-10 minutes with AC on. Park it outside in open area and step outside to listen if AC fan speed is slowing down after a certain interval or not. It should cut off for a few seconds in between and then restart again like 30 sec ON - 5/10 sec OFF. @Barry and @shadow79 can advise further on exact intervals. TBH, I wouldn't worry much if the dealer has inspected it and said it's fine.

And Land Rovers are second last 🤐

As recently pointed by @skumar83 and a very brilliant answer provided by @Barry, identically same advise has been published in Gulf News Abu Dhabi Police issue guidelines for motorists in case they face such an emergency of car cruise control failure https://gulfnews.com/news/uae/emergencies/what-to-do-if-your-car-s-cruise-control-fails-1.2275163

For your shape Prado, there is a modified bumper available for offroad - part metal + plastic + rubber that should suffice the RTA clause of no full metal bumper. Go to tires and accessories shop near Sahara center before Troy university crossroad and many shops have ARB, TJM and ARB look-like bumpers for Prado. My price guess will be in range 1500 - 2000 dhs max depending on your bargaining skills. Choose less aggressive to retain the same looks as you are not intending this car to modify for 100% offroad and it will be your daily driver too. Basically look for a bumper that can keep similar front looks and trim the sides upwards as that's what the impact area in this shape of Prado. Also, my suggestion is to avoid bullbar as we don't hit Kangaroo's here in UAE, as it will shave a bit of weight on the nose, which is better for a long hill climbs. And for adding additional light, I highly suggest LED bar on top than the front nose, to have a better spread and saving it from nosedive impact. Get the front bumper sorted first and drive for few drives and then judge if you need firm suspensions or stock is reasonably good for your usage.

There are these three rated 5 stars from members, but I haven't used them. From pics look nice though Btw, which year Pajero you drive...?

For some reason, I don't like Diesel hood, as I'm looking for Hood louver on opp direction to vent the hot air out. Now I got the donor hood too from the half cut, looking fwd for time to start that project next.

Yes he is the Soarer - proud owner, 1 1/2 Soarer, lol

Some seriously, very well defined dreams from @sertac and @hAwX

A real workhorse and sole survivor in Indian Car market for almost 2 decades.

And more than likely you meet them online or on drives, as I made tons of like-minded friends online and in UAE desert.

You start talking and you never know there must be so many people waiting to listen to it silently, just like your above pic

That's really an ouch memory of the first car to lose the license and have a lifetime of an injury. Mine was Maruti Zen, 4 Cylinder, 993 CC, 60 hp - 5 door hatchback. Real fun to drive in those days, as it weighs 765 Kgs only. I have endless stories of night out's attached to Zen and Esteem (Another Maruti Car of my friend).

My shape Pajero with Pajero EVO Engine + MIVEC head and have a fully qualified mechanic and technician at bay at all times.

You can only do what he did to call Police to rescue, luckily he was on a long highway. God bless the entire team of rescue, police, and ambulance to save his life. Real life superheroes.

Your welcome, but don't go less than 3 cars as this area is quite tricky and filled with soft sand and pockets. That's the whole idea to share the trail and let others explore the world the same way we see it. I will be doing this for my other 70+ tracks soon.

Amazing off-road terrain from Murquab to Lisalli to Qudra Lake in Dubai that offers an amazing mix of medium - tall dunes along with the surprise of small technical dunes. Plenty of opportunities to play and have good dune bashing or dune driving along these set of lovely white sand dunes. Advisable for seasoned lead driver along with fewbies and intermediate drivers only. This area is not suitable for newbies or absolute newbies off-roaders. Minimum cars: 3 capable proper 4x4 cars with recovery points. Sharing the track of exact drive and terrain we followed. Staring: Marquab Waypoint: 24.820579º N - 55.572085º E Finished: Qudra lake Waypoint: 24.849747º N - 55.345336º E Complete route track in GPX and KMZ file attached below - Enjoy.

Thanks, @Binsaloom for creating this most appropriate car club here - Petrolheads. Like you mentioned above I also like JDM simplicity and reliability, especially of older models.

Thanks for the feedback @joe joseph is that OBS thing was of Bilstein or similar type of machine? I'm searching same from some time, please share the location of that Adnoc pump.

I got the bill and it was 1 year and 3 months old purchased. On further diagnose mechanic found and change the starter motor and car started fine. So actually it was a starter issue than the battery so until battery dies I can't blame the battery tbh, but battery branding and labelling looks quiet shady and different than other Yuasa battery on all over the internet.
