Hi Rasoul, welcome to Carnity and it's offroad club. Whatever Emmanuel mentioned is the actual club structure and policy to be followed by everyone. Join as Newbie - Fewbie and then Intermediate. However, if you already have more than 10 drive experience you can join any newbie drive first and let us evaluate your skills to be promoted accordingly to fewbie level that can accelerate your grading based on your previous experience. If you are really good with fewbie drives then after 2-3 fewbie level drives we can promote you to intermediate level instead of 10 drives. Another reason to still join first newbie drive as we do an extensive briefing for every new joiner for 30-45 mins that covers the explanation of Carnity, its offroad club, 4x4 orientation, desert driving basics, self-recovery techniques, safety advice etc. that is must for everyone to attend at least once.

Go to an offroad club and join

Congrats buddy, on finally getting her back with new life. While topend was open, have you checked all valves are in good shape....?

@Rahimdad your rotary engine explained in nice video format on the lower left side Nice videos @Jeh

I had a brace on my Patrol front axle installed by the previous owner, as that was the weakest point of 2006 -2012 Nissan Patrol. They really saved my Patrol axle as all three of my friend and one brother bent the axle within 1 year of regular offroading. If creaking is loud and has some known weak point as per internet forums then I think it's necessary.

I love the video detailing of featuring the starting noise, exhaust notes and even in the belts screeching in 1981 model

Nice and neat stuff done, thanks for coming back and sharing the solution.

Absolutely, I'll be there at Qudra by 9 AM to find a good vantage point as I am going with family too. Bring lots of water, drinks, cap/hats as it's warm by mid-morning hours these days. Anyone plan to come let's meet at Qudra or check here for more updates.

I have been on both sides buddy. Having Ford Mustang GT 5.0 and going to office daily but still, I prefer my Pajero over Mustang or even my Range with a blink of an eye. Having a fast road car is limited fun with so many monkeys around and radar. Having a capable offroad ride gives you actual freedom to go anywhere and do anything anytime.

Welcome @audi tech here nice ID, love to hear more about your interest and expertise

Awesome and good luck buddy, be safe. I will send you the PM for WhatsApp coordination now. I will definitely see you on Saturday, 9th March.

That's what Velociraptor is all about. Don't waste time and straight to the kill.

Thanks, James, for sharing this and keep us updated as I would love to hear more about this beautiful event. Wish I knew this earlier, could have made some other plans to join you guys with Carnity bunch of offroaders. Tomorrow we are already committed, but I'm free on Saturday - if something is still there...?

Maybe now Asif bhai can help you lead too as your navigator if he is not too busy these days

OMG, this is a serious amateur recovery scenario: I think they tied a tow rope to bumper than a tow hook as Ford hooks are not so bad that they melt like a foam Guy too close would have injured badly or killed even if the red pickup tow point failed Should have dug out in front of wheels, as they are 80% inside the sand making recovering terribly difficult If he suspects soft sand on the beach, could have made a path firm by reversing and going forward a few times so that he can give multiple tugs on compact sand with slow speed Always start with a gentle tug first and then build the tug intensity after 3-4 attempts (if needed)

Congrats Emmanuel on your first officially posted drive. I'm all in to eat French Macrons, a lovely area selected and a good choice for debut drive.

BUHAHAHAHAHAH, this happens the same with me long ago and spotted this after lots and lots of $hit. My Pajero after an engine rebuild, doing first sidey and car went off. Came down started again, worked perfectly and then on next sidey car went off again. Exited desert with two cars escorting me to home, nothing happened. Went to the mechanic he literally pulled his hair as he can't spot the error. Next mechanic came in and spot the fault in 30 minutes, engine main ECU wiring has been passed next to the manifold and melts the wire to short that monster 100 AMP fuse on battery. Solution: ECU wire should be covered in heat resistant material and should not pass next to the exhaust manifold. If you want I can take my engine bay pictures and post to show the correct routing. You can refer to your old engine bay pic if you have it handy to find a sweet spot to secure those critical cables. See you on Friday

Beautiful legacy with a strong design presence

Isn't RTA fining if the odometer is reversed as that's why they are recording it on every passing.....? However, I agree that used car dealers always have the best buy as they smell such a good thing and pick it up from the owner in a flash. I always, OK almost always buy low km cars and spend 2-3 months hunting as every low km I see and by the time I visit, it's already sold to a dealer (90% of the time).
