  1. I think IMC or other recovery service provider have some quick charging service. Worst case scenario, put the car on recovery bed and drop them to the nearest charging point. It's better to check with the provider (Tesla or any) that what are there terms for roadside assistance.
  2. I didnt meant for factory dark tints. Google electrochromic feature.
  3. Has anyone thought how cool it will be to have dark glasses at day and clear through night, like electrochromic sunglasses? Why car manufacturers aren't going for electrochromic glasses in cars? What's stopping them? Cost, law, safety.....?
  4. Pitstop Arabia is good service for tire change, I assume they must be selling original tires as they are based in Dubai. I second with Sri, that sparing 30 minutes can actually save you lot more money. You can check more tire shops here: https://carnity.com/business_listing/car-spare-parts/tires-wheels Also you can check Pitstop Arabia ratings here
  5. Means Rav is shy to cross tall dune Crest, no matter whichever angle or speed you attempt...! I think we have seen same in shwuaib also.
  6. Congratulations @Rahimdad for not opening the engine head. Well done @shadow79 for using the drill bit to unscrew the stuck plug. Here are the 9 Nissan used part scrap yards that you can call to get that faulty part - couldn't get its name correctly https://carnity.com/search?&q=nissan&type=cms_records5&nodes=86&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy
  7. Thanks @desertdude for icarsoft recommendation. I am actually looking for something like this Bluetooth device that can hook up with smartphone software for code reading and clearing + live data feed of fluid and exhaust related temperature for offroad use. https://www.icarsoft.com/Product/s-294-icarsoft_bluetooth_multi_scan_tool_i620.html @Frederic can you check when you are free if this Bluetooth dongle will work on our Pajero's MUT protocol? @shadow79 existing one didn't worked on my Pajero but I love his torque dashboard for live readings.
  8. Excellent search and suggestion of this new area by @Emmanuel Thanks @Srikumar for Impeccable planning of 2 diff routes, waypoints, fence, exit strategy resulting in perfect drive even after few nasty recoveries we were able to play in those amazing dunes. Keep it up. Just the last bit was killing to inflate at 49 degrees under the sun and 44 under the shade (watch).

    No one, I quit social media long ago. If you have enough time to waste, then go ahead for 1% useful stuff vs 99% mindless scroll.
  12. Very rare to see mechanic using torque wrench here. This is super rare.
  13. I def need one, save one for me please and ill arrange to pick it up. Thnx
  14. I think you are talking about 2001 Pathfinder, which is good 18 years old now. Ford F150 in above video is also 2001 model and Jeep in second video looks TJ (97-06). Still there is no harm in trying than opening an engine head for multiplying hassle, cost and labor.
  15. Time to buy this extractor @shadow79 In video it looks damn easy and doable with using appropriate "penetrating" oil than opening the head. Another example by using the drill bit to extract the broken spark plug, very intelligent.
  16. Every offroader who is regularly driving offroad and involved in recovery by pulling or tugging should inspect there tow points and tow hook regularly. At least once every month or after every extreme recovery to make sure they are safe to use. Thanks to @Barry for wonderful contact of Mathias in Car Pro garage - a seasoned welder to take up this job during Eid holidays and doing a wonderful work. Sadly Car Pro garage is closing or closed down, so if any of you need quick welding job from expert welder you can contact Mathias on ‎052 926 6714. And he is very reasonable in pricing. He charged me 200 Dhs for all 3 joints ARC welding.
  17. We know that too, and Sri plan to exit by 9 to keep an hour as a buffer till 10 AM for any extreme recoveries or problems. Depending on the situation and actual heat in sand we might play around till 10 AM.
  18. Totally agree with @Javier M as something very similar happened with my Mustang and I kept on charging with my other cars for over 2 hours and in end spotted the metal corrosion on battery was responsible for not starting the car. In my case there was a partial cranking after every a minute or two and I kept on charging the battery. This is the dielectric grease usage in several places to prevent corrosion.
  19. Just checked my Dubai Police Fines to see the 50% reduction for the second quarter. What a great relief......! 500 become 260 400 become 200 600 become 300 I know website fine amount icon has some border issue, but its readable at least.
  20. Hopefully not, as Sri has done tremendous research and bribe the heat god to only wake up after 9
  21. Nice choice Sri, we love Sweihan for grand dunes and most amazing offroad terrain in UAE.
