  1. And then we have these, to rest leg on leg guard heroes. Spotted an hour back.
  2. Nope, by now I think everyone should know that my riddles aren't so easy. Second clue: he always find a way to do things differently.
  3. Specific speed vibration - 90% wheel balancing doubt and they do tend to disappear or reduce after you cross certain speed. Get the proper wheel balancing done and see zero and zero on both sides. I keep screaming this as majority of guys accept 5-10 = 0, whereas it will still have this vibration. Perfect 0 and 0 on both sides for all 4 tires "MATTERS". CV joint does make click clack on full turn and your gen Pajero prone to breaking CV joint after slight lift. I have been changing or re-greasing them almost every year, its usual wear and tear if front is slightly lifted.
  4. Thanks @Frederic for sharing this wonderful video of how world is changing so fast towards a Sharing Economy. If you have time, watch from beginning whole 1h 45m video, if not below starting point is good too to see the possibility of future.
  5. OK before you take this as a joke, which is not a joke. He really really got big balls, if not maybe the biggest among all of us. I'm really serious. First Clue: He do things that normal offroader can't even think of doing it.
  6. Guess the offroad driver: He's got big balls
  7. In theory ONLY, but not in reality. Anything useful but new or unconventional, people have solid resistance to pay unless they are choked out of oxygen to make them realize that spending 100 dhs on right car valuation can save them thousands. Secondly people happy to waste months in finding right price (for free) by lowering advert price by 1K every week, than paying such services 100 dhs to find the best price. Penny wise pound foolish, statements are made for real people. Thirdly, anything starting new will be put up against the giants for comparison, so unless such idea is embraced by big known brands, it might not even take-off due to lack of authority, no matter how precise valuation they can provide. Real world people expect new born baby to run in marathon from day one, sad reality. I wish if I have more time in hand to write few hundred reasons here.
  8. I used a huge cool box (metal reinforced to strap it) to store all stuff, but soon things outgrow and moved to layers and stack up style and then securing all with spider net. Almost double the stuff you can store and easy access to almost anything anytime than digging inside the box.

  10. If you stack up stuff nicely, you will be surprise how much stuff you can "safely" store in your boot. Looks like you haven't had a look at my SWB minuscule boot space. And I'm carrying this jack with 50 other items.
  11. Remember saving 100 - 200 dhs will equate to one time recovery if you need to pay from your pocket which is usually between 150-300 dhs depending on distance and inter-emirates. How much did you pay @Shamil recently?
  12. WOW, nice to meet you new 2020 Toyota Corolla, new styling looks quite exciting. Loved your engaging writing skill, humor, sarcasm and candy crush. Absolutely perfect.
  13. I don't have any claims since over 10 years and btw now all insurance claims are centralize and any insurance can track your claim history, but they don't openly say that. At the time I renewed Pajero, lowest I got was 1050 and RSA quoted me 1138 (just checked) so for 88 dhs extra I went with RSA for my convenience and other party convenience if I bang into someone. Car Insurance prices in UAE are very cyclic and it must have lowered now and that's why I asked Fuad to check their latest pricing.
  14. Yes Pirelli and Michelin both are good, you cant go wrong, just compare the prices before you buy. Al Nahda tire market in Sharjah will def offer better pricing than online alternates.
  15. Most of us here has a JZX 2 ton jack with swivel neck (150 dhs) from Dragon mart. Without swivel neck 130 dhs, swivel is better to reach and operate from any angle. Looks very similar to this image @Jas Gajaria I am not sure if money or weight is a concern but in both cases failure rate of 50% and above is sufficient to consider safer jacking option unless you bolt bottle jack base on a wide metal/wooden base.
  16. Of course you can ride a bicycle on dunes too, but its pretty tricky. PLEASE DON'T USE SCISSOR AND BOTTLE JACK IN SAND, if you love your car and limbs.
  17. Go through this first, if you still have any doubts, lets discuss. Thanks @Javier M
  18. Welcome back, how's diff doing now. So @Javier M are you going to accept 3K challenge to keep gas under 3K RPM
  19. I use it once every 6 months in all cars and I'm happy, I used every 2-3 months in beginning but haven't seen any noticeable gain after the initial use. If it was locally available product I wouldn't mind pouring every 2-3 months.
  20. It's not shitty, mine is very similar too to give 320 in mix. Might get 350 in highway. Try Redex fuel additive to bump up as that's a very good fuel system cleaner and only genuine product I found that decreases fuel consumption. Sadly not available in UAE. You can try from Canada and bring it along.
  21. What is your on road fuel mileage? Fuel Consumption in offroad is totally dependent on how much you push your car. I have swb, with 60 liter tank and crossed liwa few times with additional 20 litre Jerry can. For saving fuel in offroad, we generally advise everyone to switch to 2WD on flat track. Liwa is no different as it has few kms of patches of barren land where you can cover lot of distance in 2WD. Also if you are passing through moreeb do check adnoc fuel tanker as a temporary gas station, usually available in winter months little before and after Liwa challenge.
  22. I used Euro Gulf for bumper hole repair, they were good. RSA gave me 3 places and then I picked Euro based on their reviews. If it helps.
