    Let the trip leader know next time in advance and we can plan such stops for drone shots. Love your second video of capturing the side sloping attempt of the black wrangler. Perfect angle to focus straight into the action from an aerial view. 👍
  6. Gaurav
    Thanks @Rahimdad for excellent newbie drive and everyone for there great coordination, teamwork and patience that paid very well at side sloping timing (real dessert of the desert). I could see everyone was like a kid after the first attempt to have one more attempt, lol. That's the real fun for offroad that gets the adrenaline rushing for everyone. @Panda82 @hossein @jibransayed @amir.rophail @Sajith Kumar @Jocreative @Javier M @MansourZ @Emil Please post your feedback here

    I agree on that but I don't think this new Sierra Pickup style Jimny or Jimny Survive looks as plucky and little with those serious mods, roll cage and checkered plates all around
  8. Gaurav
    With a 1.3 liter engine or they going to increase to 1.31 at least this time....?
  9. Gaurav
    We usually have spare radio for an absolute newbie on first come first serve base, but for an exchange of drone footage, I will reserve one from right now 😍

    Hello!

    Gaurav replied to Per A's topic in Introduce Yourself

    I love 13 to the dozen and that's there for a reason. Well if you are open to buying another dedicated offroader then 3.5 LWB is good enough to start with. If you have no specific need for 4 doors, then see if you can get 3.5 SWB (2 doors) that will be more fun for offroad.
  11. Gaurav
    Thanks for the update, do let us know if the infotainment system still reboots the next day or not....?
  12. Gaurav
    When that tak tak noise comes, car start or its a just a self (starter motor) noise and car fail to turn the engine on.....? Maybe starter is dying, as they usually die such intermittent death like this.

    Hello!

    Gaurav replied to Per A's topic in Introduce Yourself

    Happy New Year @Per A and welcome to Carnity and it's offroad club, as both are awesome. As a petrolhead, you will love Carnity and as an offroader, you will enjoy a lot with the offroad club. Just like others, I will also vote for Xterra as the first option for daily driver + offroad due to its stock offroad capability. Second, comes FJC, third Prado and fourth will be Pajero and hell yes for 3.8 and not 3.5 if offroad is one of your main agenda.
  14. Gaurav
    It was an amazing get together with best people in Carnity to welcome 2019. Plenty of fun, jokes, dance, music, stories, karaoke, drinks, and food - what else anyone wants to celebrate the new year eve, oh plenty of firewood too. Thanks everyone for joining and making it so wonderful

    Happy New Year, Maybe worth checking if the battery terminals are loose and causing the system to reset while starting the vehicle.

    Let me not start seeing and owning ga-ga all over again. Looks are ALWAYS deceiving in offroad rides

    Usually, I don't allow any car without the front and back tow hook, but though you are an experienced driver and have a metal front bumper to tug (in case), will allow you for this one drive as an exception. You know how easily you broke your trusted tow rope while recovering from metal bumper in last drive. You can always join with us Asif bhai, remember how I joined Emmanuel when my Pajero engine was busted.
  19. Gaurav
    It's there in other car brands for less famous brands Isuzu trooper very much looks like Pajero and Old Hyundai 4x4 (can't recall its name) seems to me they all are derived from Pajero background, design, engine and 4x4 gearing. Trooper was quite famous and capable too, but less popularity and parts scarcity killed it completely.
  20. Gaurav
    Yes, you meant for Rav4 on steroids with happy go lucky bouncing driver......!
  21. Gaurav
    In simple words, if you already own 2.7 you can learn offroading and then move to a better and more capable vehicle. If you are planning to buy and offroading is one of the agenda - 4.0 is MUST. @sertac over 80% "stock" 4x4 vehicle - Including Land Cruiser, Pajero, Patrol, Defender, Discovery, Pathfinder CANNOT climb faya from the front side. Faya, due to its steepness and height is most difficult dune after Iftar bowl and Bid Red in Sharjah. I would really doubt if 2.7 fortuner or Prado can climb from backside cheat route even.
  22. Gaurav
    Same I told him too on WhatsApp @Mujtaba good to see you signup for this drive, I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot. Have you sorted the front tow hook?
  23. Gaurav
    @Asif Hussain have you done the compression test when the engine was at idle temperature......? It shouldn't be cold readings.
  24. Gaurav
    Ok, guys, first and foremost feel free to challenge anyone technically but don't use foul language please, it spoils the whole decorum. We all are grown up and should stick to better language and communication while dealing with technicalities. Coming back to Asif bhai truck issue, I suspect the same and I have been involved so far with so many self-tests during that drive and seen the symptoms too. Coolant doesn't seem to have any traces of oil and looks crystal clear (visually). Engine oil seems crisp golden without any presence of coolant or water and has no foul smell. Exhaust has no fuel smell while placing the hand for a few seconds. The car has no loss of power yet. The only thing fishy in the whole diagnostic seems is cylinder 4 throwing the water droplets out, that point to minor head gasket leak. I suspect that HG leak is directly near the exhaust valve and that's why water is resulting in the white smoke at the exhaust and exhaust gas is pushing in the radiator to make air pocket to push coolant to the reservoir. While driving after sometime cylinder temperature is so hot that leaking water droplets cannot produce steam and hence white smoke is disappearing. This is my educated guess. What desertdude mention to inspect cylinder 4 internal with a flashlight to see the color seems good point as if you can differentiate that appearance with neighboring cylinder then that can confirm the leak. Wait until Saleem can confirm the factory spec for compression results. @Barry @desertdude @shadow79 @treks is it normal to have faulty (leaking HG) cylinder to have higher compression?

    SO GOD DAMN TRUE.
