Behind Macro in Sharjah, you will find Jabal Tokyo and few others having the Pajero used parts. Try your luck, as I have never been disappointed by that market.

Yokohama Geolander ATS has been offroad community best friend since last few years. I am using my second set since last year and the previous set lasted for 3+ years. So in short, I am very happy, satisfied and content user of Yokohama Geolandar ATS since 4 years. It offers the perfect blend of on-road smoothness and quietness yet offroad requirement of good grip and traction for most difficult of situations. They are not as heavy as other competing brands like Cooper, BFG, Mickey etc. so you get good fuel mileage and no humming noise on the road and better hill climb and self-recovery in desert terrain. Yokohama Geolandar HTS is a road tread, and if your fortuner is 100% road car then you are better off with HTS than ATS, as it is tad more smoother and lighter for all road usage. However, if you drive offroad too then go with Yokohama Geolandar ATS.

As the weather is getting better, let's have an easy fewbie level drive from Lisalli fort to Qudra lake and end up with a relaxing get-together or bbq session if anyone like. The beauty of this area, the wide open dunes, and with the occasional sighting of wildlife like gazelles and oryx are all reasons to set your pulses racing. The plan would be to meet up at 2:00 pm as per the below link and then head out to have some awesome fun through terrain that will leave you wanting more, and we will end it with a good spot to sit around Qudra lake and have a BBQ session with chats about the drive, general talk and share some jokes. When: 20 October 2017 at 2:00 pm Where: First Emarat Petrol station on Dubai - Al Ain Road after Outlet Mall. GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/KD4Lath3cB42 Level of drive: Newbie - Fewbie Plan: Drive followed by BBQ What to bring along: Stuff for BBQ like grill, charcoal, lighter fluid and BBQ meat or chicken, water, liquids, smiles, stories, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Approximate finish time: 8-9 pm Please RSVP on below calendar:

So Isn't that even better that yours will be an exclusive animal among common sheeps....!

You being an ex-toyota guy, asking this is unbelievable. ANYDAY TOYOTA over Ford for any/all of the above points.

For me, it was faulty when it wasn't working and when after the complaint they fail to provide credible proof to SEDD and agree to refund than replace it become fake too. If it was original, then they could have simply replaced it from their source. In reality, god only knows what integrity Al Qaswa Spare parts have and time will tell more in detail if they continue to survive with such ethics and pathetic customer service.

Well, Al Qaswa Auto Parts were requested to submit the proof of their purchase of that part and they submitted that in the plain white paper without any name of shop/dealer/agent of Mitsubishi. I assume some action must have taken here from SEDD. After that Sharjah Economic Department officer requested me to call the shop again for seeking the immediate resolution. I was fine for seeking a replacement either as I still need it, but Mr. Boban told me over the phone that they can't order again so they will refund my money. When I visited them for returning, they literally forced me to sign on paper saying - Reason of return: "customer no need" instead of "not working". Salesman: Rajesh was very aggressive, rude and disrespectful in throwing paper around when I wrote: "not working". Wasted my time in argument and when they saw that I won't sign that crap, and was ready to leave the shop they accepted me to sign on the genuine cause. I really don't know what action SEDD has taken or planning, as I just reported my side of incidents to them and they closed my case after that with an email and SMS confirmation.

I realized this long back and changed my signature accordingly. Since then, every day I'm getting at least 10-15 likes. My new learning is that every reader needs to be reminded every time for liking and thanking.

I had 2003 GS430 some 10 years back and until the date, I miss that car in terms of luxury and super silky Lexus V8. I know it's a bit late, but somehow we all missed your post, hope you already own one now.

I was seriously thinking that Audi has some version of katana and crossbow engines.....! Damn @shadow79 your sense of humor is scary sometimes. Welcome aboard robinsonmike, it's a right place for the car enthusiast and we all learn a lot from each other every day.

I'm sure many of us have driven with so many off-road clubs in the UAE and have different good, bad and amazing experiences. Learning from those I would like everyone here to share their good experiences and qualities required to make this a best off-road club in UAE. To start my suggestions are: Safety is paramount, but be friendly and approachable Should maintain discipline but only to a tolerable extent Preserve all drive images and videos with easy to use gallery Well equipped with safety, emergency, medical and recovery gears Should have regular different level drives for a newbie, fewbies, intermediate and extreme

Very well planned and executed drive @baselsm83, congrats on successfully completing your first drive and looking forward to more on regular basis. My pics are uploaded in the gallery: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/46-absolute-newbie-desert-drive-13-oct-2017/
