  1. Thank you Dubai Police for making all my fines ZERO. Although I'm little surprise to see this happening earlier than a year in nine months precisely, maybe because I sold this plate car and they wipe the slate clean. Phew. A 46329 - Range Rover plate showing ZERO Other car plates showing ZERO too.
  2. Tesla Cybertruck launched yesterday in the category of all electric pick up truck. Very weird and different design, seems to disturb initially but eventually it will grow on you (I think). What do you guys think of design..........? Single Motor: $39,900 - 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 sec with max speed at 110 mph Dual Motor: $49,900 - 0- 60 mph in 4.5 sec with max speed at 120 mph Tri Motor: $69,900 - 0- 60 mph in 2.9 sec with max speed at 130 mph All Cybertrucks have an adjustable air suspension that can be raised or lowered on the fly and provides up to 16 inches of ground clearance. Add that to its 35-degree approach and 28-degree departure angles and the Tesla pickup could prove to be a formidable off-road machine. The Cybertruck measures 231.7 inches long, 79.9 inches wide, and 75.0 inches tall. It features a 6.5-foot cargo bed that has 100 cubic feet of volume. Musk says that bed can hold up to 3500 pounds of payload on every version, and the strongest model can tow 14,000 pounds. Figures seems really impressive to beat the best in competition from pricing, dimensions, performance, capability etc.
  3. Congrats Frederic on your first wonderful lead, 64 kms in 2 hours seems rocket pocket dancing a lot with velociraptor. Shamil kudos to you for keeping pace between the two and seems you are almost there with Intermediate drive level challenges and pace, keep it up.
  4. This is exact shit you will see in MARS series. It's not a show off business, but real business in a quest who will strike a gold first, as towards end another chinese explorer make there way to colonize too and things start getting dirty with no boundaries, no rules, no ownership etc as space treaty signed in 70 -80 is very vague and meaningless. Btw only way to survive on Mars is inside huge lava tubes to place a dome and colonize, as outside radiation is too bad.
  5. So all the space lovers here do watch MARS both seasons on netflix and you will love it. I'm almost at the end now and it shares hell of a things what an average Joe cant think about mars, distance, time, challenges and big disasters. Sadly in end its turning out that space exploration is never been a scientific discovery but purely a business. Same way humans exploited earth, now they are in need of another planet to exploit. Overall it's an interesting watch with little bit of drama and lot of thrill.
  6. Coils and sensors (electrical stuff) are always better OEM or aftermarket (if pressed for pricing). Reason is electrical scrap part get bad by mishandling very fast (by dirt, water, moisture etc) and there is no easy way to check before buying. You might get lucky once in a while, but 90% you are shooting in the dark. Again if its low price, worth a try to test your luck. I got my Trail blazer headlight SSD relay from scrap for 50 dhs, because liberty need 30 days for ordering and priced at 350 dhs and my wife cannot drive car with one headlight off. Thank fully its still working fine after a year and half, so electrical scrap depends on your stars positioning tbh. If I have a chance to buy OEM, ill stick to that as my first choice. I changed my Pajero coil 6 years back and they burned a 1000+ dhs hole but thankfully they havent failed as it was OEM. Another point is if you are using scrap electrical parts for any reason, then try to see if that part is already in the scrap car or component then chances are its safe to try to great extent. If its kept on shelf, boxes or floor then its worth nothing.
  7. This is exactly how offroader mind works. I was thinking same of telling desertdude that in 250K USD imagine how many Range (for road, as he love it) and other capable offroaders you can buy........? After little bit of offroad experience, I like to split eggs in different basket so I can have a backup of backup even.
  8. SSSSSShhhhh......! Dont tell this secret to wifeys, or else this is THE ONLY way they can loose weight and will force us to replace gym membership with space travel ticket.
  9. Electric and recovery cannot go in same sentence. Small fuse, wire, switch, short circuit can impair your recovery process. I rem when my winch controller switch failed in one of extreme recovery and we spend next 4-5 hours joining ropes, and finding suitable angle to tug.
  10. Is this vibration since the last major service? Then ask the workshop to check the manifold and manifold gasket as if they have removed and re-fixed that, there is a possibility to misaligned or have a little bent on that thin metal gasket. I experience something similar on 4k rpm band and disappear at 5k, little whistle and vibration.

  14. For a moment I thought you have vibrations at 220 kmph, and I was scratching my head how come bro u cross the sound barrier of pajero at 180 kph. Have you check air filter, engine oil, spark plug basics first?
  15. If chassiss being damaged, get that fix first, then get measure by RTA approved center and get the passing to be 100% sure it's worth spending all those money. Also more you get into detailing, there is no end to it for perfecting every nook and cranny for offroad use car. I explored the rust proofing option too in 2017 but realized that my factory done rust proofing is still 90% fine after 20 years, as we drive in sand that regularly sand blast it and plus we aren't in wetland with road salt that eats the car like in colder countries. Btw the drive line mod means are you planning some power mod too?
  16. Oh yeah, but why do you need grill in electric setup in first place. No engine, no cooling, no air, no ventilation.
  17. In such level job, do look into Line-x application for under body protection, one of my friend's friend got the whole car cover in Line-x top and bottom - Black Tahoe. Regarding full paint and tidying the wiring system, I highly suggest to do once you are done with all mods and tested them for few drives, so that you are 100% sure that you will be living with that setup for few years. I got my car painted in 2017 and soon after we need to open the engine and few electrical and mechanical work and It wasn't nice. Let me know when you find one in Dubai, Im also looking for good place desperately. I have used Autotech in Aweer for part paint job and they were nice and reasonable, not sure about their mechanic or electrical work yet. https://goo.gl/maps/Y6rf1We72xcKDGXg9
  18. Because it seems they all are made in same factory and different brands putting the front grill and tail light for branding.
  19. I dont think Ford is killing normal Mustang, this is in addition to the existing lineup.
  20. NO Really, I will write so much if I knew which tire......cmmon. Shifting has taken a big toll on your sleep.
