That's a very very good practice to change tranny and other critical fluids in second hand car as soon as you buy them. I have been doing same since many years and never faced a tranny issue. Stitch in time, saves nine. For Dexol, you have my highest recommendation too as they are one of the best in gear maint and rebuilding business. Also look for Hoorani guys, they are also very well known in Shj. Good luck.

Agree with @roburton flush is advisable. May I know how you come to this conclusion of flushing or changing the tranny oil? Any issues with tranny? Or just doing preventive maintenance as you just bought it without any previous service records? Mitsubishi transmission oil usually advisable to change every 60k (still refer to owner manual) and share more detail like present odometer kms and which model is that?

hahahah, Thanks treks for correcting. I am sure some days my idea or thinking will be picked up too (never mind) lol.

WOW, totally stunning. Idea of top rear view mirror on door is awesome to not to bend and twist the neck.

Everyone please arrange the flag for your off-road cars, as it's a safety requirement to install flag on your car so that person behind the tall dune can be notified in-time. Something like in pic below

Just to accommodate our lovely member's as much as we can, I have created the poll on top of this drive post. Myself and Rahim bhai are fine with both options of Friday and Saturday. Let's wait and see what other's like. Btw, people neutral with both the dates can vote on both as poll set as multiple choices option.

Thanks Saadia, added the Waqas name in the list. For next Friday, we will see what we can do in next few days time in case other's also have an issue for 24 March, or else we will plan one more family drive soon after.

Hi Saadia, please forgive us and waqas bhai for this drive even as it is gonna be bit fast and challenging, not fit for kids for sure. However, on a bright side just last night we announced nice family drive in sand and with bbq in end for next Friday. As I've been getting lot of calls and email for one since we did Shawka drive. Please sign up here and I def need your hand made tikka, it was just awesome.

It will be an honor for us to meet your mom Rahim bhai and I'm fine to bring the convoy out alone if in case you need to push early to guide your wife. Looking forward for this great family get together drive.

It's time to call another newbie level family adventure desert drive ending with bbq, chit-chat and jokes. Especially for the folks who missed this last month, here is the chance to recap. Secondly for many of you waiting desperately for newbie desert drive to get the sand bug, this will be the perfect drive for all who wants to enjoy nice day drive in moderately easy desert terrain. 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 and have a BBQ session with chats about the drive, general talk and share some jokes. Our last drive video in same area: When: 24 March 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: 9 pm

It's a cross of BMW and Hyundai to my eyes.

Thanks @waqaszohair @Rahimdad and @Mujtaba for uploading your pictures, every effort counts. I am still waiting and hoping to see some drive pictures from @skumar83 and @jason200 Here is the drive video:

Finally the route is ready for Friday drive, by eliminating almost all of the nasty small technical dunes. Pure fun at high speed. Total offroad track coming to 20 kms so we really got to push at high speed and hope for minimum stuck downtime or else we will be driving in dark again. Everyone please charge your radio (overnight), check all tires (including spare), check tow hook, and check everything in your ride to be in perfect pristine condition for this drive.

Done sir, nice suggestion and it will save more time for deflation and briefing. Thanks. Hope he is riding with you.....? If he is driving, please make sure that he is at intermediate level and his experience and car can support this level of drive.

Thanks buddy, will do that for sure as I myself got stuck in those nasty technical dunes few years back chasing the gazelles. Those gazelles are trained to make any 4x4 crested, after all they are running for their life.

With every carnity drive setting newbie level higher and higher, so this week demands bit more challenging and thrilling terrain of Murqquab to Lisalli. It's a combination of various set of dunes from small - med - large, where smaller takes the name of nasty technical dunes and big dunes demand good momentum to continue riding until you are through to a flat area. This time I plan to introduce ridge riding, slip face attack and side sloping. These all three are expert level skills, but we will start learning these in the intermediate terrain to give time to absorb and react. This area is very famous for Gazelle sighting so riding with your best long range camera is highly advisable. When: 17 March 2017 Meeting time: 12:30 PM Starting time: 01:00 PM (SHARP) soon after Friday prayer Where: Mosque inside the Marqquab area. GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/n3iAGB7m2KJ2 Level of drive: Intermediate Type of drive: Although it's not a typical family drive, but feel free to bring them if they like more of drive time Plan: Lunch and Learn advance sand off-road driving What to bring along: Ready lunch (no bbq), water, liquids, smiles, stories, enthusiasm and willingness to learn Approximate finish time: 6 PM Safety advice: All vehicles should have proper tow hook in front and back Drive is open only for proper 4x4 vehicles, not for SUV's and Sedan's Vehicle should have minimum 10-12 inches of ground clearance Every vehicle should have proper shovel, tow rope, tire pressure gauge, deflator, inflator and two way radio
