What an amazing clicks habeeb. In such big group we don't see all actions around us and relive the missing moments with others camera lens, like I never saw my son wearing that hat, damn cute capture. Duck close-up was also very nice and high quality. Waiting for all others camera pics now.

Born and brought up in Delhi, India. Living in Dubai since 2000

Welcome back buddy, looking forward to seeing you after long time.

Just got the confirmation from Mujtaba and Srikumar for joining tomorrow's drive. All names updated.

So I can see that my Pajero surgerieeeeesssssss experience going long way.....buddy. lol.

Very well put thoughts from @ayman_khateeb this is truly the same thing we have witnessed in offroad clubs in UAE since 2006. Just FYI, person who rolled here has an Oman Insurance and only paid 200 dhs excess without any fuss, also AXA and RSA are very good in honoring the offroad claims. Just in Jan one of the off-road club member rolled in Liwa and his insurance made endless drama to honor his claim and ask for pics and video to show the place. In my understanding if you have good company off-road insurance then whether you take / share pics or video it doesn't matter. Whereas in shady insurance it's always gonna be tough to get the claim passed so again whether you take / share pics or video it doesn't matter. Secondly as per my understanding all rolls/flips are unique as there are so many factors (drive style, center of gravity, weather, accidents, bad luck, lack of experience, mechanical failure) affecting it so the more we analyse and share, more awareness we will make for fellow off-roaders and make this sport safe for everyone. Off course we don't encourage name and shame even, but as a process if person car and name goes public, this serves another secondary reason for everyone to be more careful and sensible. I personally know a Marshal in one club who rolled 4 times in last season and if his name or incident gone public, he would have trimmed his aggressive drive style or correct his vehicle center of gravity than showing the sideys on top of risky dunes. Sometimes little fear of failure is good in such adventure sports. In my honest opinion club branding should get better by reducing the number of flips/rolls than hiding it, by giving new off-roaders confidence that nothing is brushed under the carpet and they are in absolutely safe and seasoned atmosphere.

Here is the video of Zakher lake from last week drive

Thanks for reminding me for posting an update on my setup:

As an update for all, I have finally installed the new head unit from Pioneer that supports 100x4 RMS output and I'm totally happy with its performance and quality. Now I don't think I need additional amp and sub unless I get bored with this setup. So overall, it costed under 1000 Dhs for complete upgrade for blasting music in my off-road SWB Pajero. 370 Dhs: Pioneer DEH-X4850FD Audio Receiver WITH MIXTRAX 150 Dhs: Front door: Pioneer TS-A1686S (6.5 Inch)- 350W - 60W RMS 200 Dhs: Back Seat: Pioneer TS-A6996S (6 Inch x 9 Inch) - 650W - 100W RMS 200 Dhs: Speaker installation labor 50 Dhs: Head unit installation labor For further improving the noise on high levels, I also got the oxygen free cable that I am yet to install as soon as I have free time. However with pioneer supplied cables output is already amazing, but want to try this oxygen free cable to see what difference they will make as everyone recommends it.

Hi Waqas, there is no further link or sign up required. You are at the right thread, just leave your mobile number and I will update on the initial list.

It's a perfect time for enjoying some wadi excursion now after few sand off-road and on-road trips. Next on the card is picturesque landscape of wadi shawka in RAK. This will be soon next green tourist destination of RAK. Thanks to the Shawka dam that holds 275,000 cubic meter of rain water to slowly disperse evenly to protect farms and enhance the greenery of this beautiful wadi and preserve wildlife. It is ideal location for family recreational and picnic get together with bbq. Plan is to enjoy the Shawka dam surroundings and find a good spot for lunch and bbq like always. After the lunch we will explore the wadi shawka track more deeper inside and hoping to exit from the back side of the shawka if condition permits or else return to entrance for safer exit. Read more about what all you can do in Wadi Shawka What to expect: Mountain track, Shawka Dam, Water ponds, greenery, birds, hiking trek & great company. Date: 03 March, Friday, 2017 Meeting time: 12:30 PM Meeting point: Last ADNOC at sharjah - kalba road GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/sr2UeSoppzt Level of drive: Slightly challenging after lunch, hence only 4x4 's with reasonable ground clearance are preferable What to bring along: Stuff for BBQ or lunch with a little extra to share with all, grill, charcoal, lighter fluid and BBQ meat or chicken, water, liquids, smiles, stories, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Approximate finish time: 6 - 7 PM

Thanks everyone for joining with such great enthusiasm and community spirit. We had yet another fantastic carnity drive to explore the hidden gem - Zakher Lake inside the desert of Al Ain. Thanks @Rahimdad for showing such great place and supporting every bit of the drive from leading a short adrenaline filled dune bashing to pushing a 2WD drive in deep sands. Overall we had 7 cars - Nissan Pathfinder, Volkswagen Tiguan, Toyota Prado, Ford Escape, Jeep Wrangler and 2 Mitsubishi Pajero's. All cars with little push and pull made it to slightly deeper spot for better view of dunes and lake. We had lovely barbecue and late lunch filled with multi-cuisine dishes. We all enjoyed the awesome weather in super awesome place with amazing company of easy and fun-loving members. Here are the pictures from my camera, hope to see other's pictures soon:

Seems like it comes with unlimited kms service, maintainence and warranty for 5 years.

I'm using black and decker car vacuum cleaner from souq for 135 dhs for my wife car and sometimes for my offroad car, reasonably happy with its performance as suction is just enough to pick most of the stuff, but not like home cleaner as it runs on 12V.

Just another thing to check if this is 100% onroad car or you plan for offroad on weekends too. Although both are capable offroad but also check the ground clearance, approach and departure angles, performance and offroad protection required for both before making up your mind.
