Waqas knowing you spend some time in Saudi, so I dont blame you searching and luring for such crapotastic mod ever. This is complete no-no from first 1 min I watch the video for first few of the reason barry stated already. What @Ren13 mentioned is the very first basic and safest step to enter into mod your stock car. I have done the same and adding K&N drop-in filter and felt the good note and free throttle response. Don't fall for K&N from local market as they all bump price by triple and waste lot of time in searching here and there (I have done same). Go to K&N US site and order exact fit in dirt cheap price with international shipping that delivers within 2-3 days. Second step is to play with exhaust and you have two options there and I have done both. Just for improved noise to sound different - remove the resonator with straight pipe. For sound and performance - Upgrade all pipes to 2.5 inch and add magnaflow low noise catback I done both in my Pajero at different phases of its life and enjoyed more on second option that made some genuinely noticeable difference in performance without adding too much doof - doof so that it get passed on RTA without any problem. I got these exhaust from Al Khwaneej in Shj, known for this exhaust mod since 30 years and referred to me by my close local friend who used them on many of his cars exhaust job done with them. Saleem: if you go with second option without cancelling the resonator and catalytic converter and add low noise catback - any RTA in UAE will pass it. Im running similar setup in my Mustang too and it passes every year without any wasta and I do visit Sharjah multiple times without any issue. One must be stupid to floor the accelerator for no reason in residential area to attract cops attention. If you drive decently then no one will ever bother you.

Looks like full house drive guys, I am gonna miss seeing so many new faces. Please RSVP on the calendar as well.

All the best buddy

I would second with Rahimdad advise than Shadow79, just because you need a specialize masters degree in dealing with those small suspension shops in sharjah, as 99% of the time they will sell you something lemon proving that you are a moron. If you want a proper job, find what fits best on your model of fortuner and change the all 4 sides with proper upgraded version. Check with known brands like: Ranchos, Tough dog, Rough country, Old man EMU, Kings, etc. These proper upgrade might cost you more but be rest assure that you will not topple or get broken suspension in desert when you needed them most. I fixed broken suspension once in desert and spend 4-5 hours in heat and later realize that owner has got one of those used suspension from shj shops and it was misfit as per vehicle weight and that's why it broke in second minor jump.

Also you can check endless options in Deira Naif area opp. old Hyatt (near shindaga tunnel). There is a whole car accessory market specialise in these type of systems.

I'm travelling for two weeks otherwise I wouldn't miss any drive. Be sure to have one exciting drive as soon I'm back. Till then prove your rav4 metal to raise the bar of confidence.

Have a great drive guys, enjoy and be safe. I'll miss you all. Show me some action pics of the drive.

Awesome pictures taken by everyone, still waiting to see Sri pics. Here is the video guys:

Do you have a central diff lock in your Pajero? If yes, then use that while extreme long hill climb and it will help A LOT in those last few meters by crawling all the way up. Read the owners manual about the manual overriding the tiptronic fully, it must have some useful info.

Bring this guy to Dubai and show "NONE" of the car involve in roll-over ever exploded. Wrong perception to defend Richard or Rimac..

This was definitely one of the most amazing drive we had in a very long time. Superb area, great cars, amazing drivers, perfect weather and awesome food. We all met at Bidayer shops and started on time with nice cup of tea to energize all. Entered right behind bidayer to hit the much awaited "Area 53". Initial attempt to drive through the tallest dune at entrance went in vain so, drove little further left and entered again from medium set of dunes. And this time it was perfect warm up for all cars to enter in some amazing rolling tall dunes. We drove for about an 2-3 hours and had nice fun and had couple of pop-outs due to high speed soft sand sloping. Due to few delays we couldn't reach the Iftar bowl by 3 AM, so we found a nice clean open are and spread the Suhoor food setup. Everyone bought amazing cuisines and had good stories to keep all of us entertain until the sunrise. After so much food Asif bhai chai was a life saver to kick start the whole convoy again. As we were quite close to Iftar bowl, so after the suhoor we all decided to head to Iftar bowl and play for a little while before we exit. As we reach Iftar bowl area, 2 cars were unable to climb the whole stretch. And there comes our superman in action to walk all the way down to brought both the cars from back side cheat route in a jiffy. Overall it was a great fun and awesome route with capable cars who can keep up the pace in rolling dunes. For cars with couple of pop-outs please replace your HT tires for such demanding area with proper desert friendly tires like Micheline LTX, Yokohama Geolander ATS, Cooper Discoverer ATR, Nitto dune / tera grappler. Looking forward to see everyone pictures. Here are the pictures from my lens: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/23-area-53-to-iftar-bowl-night-drive-15-june-2017/
