For some reason, I don't like Diesel hood, as I'm looking for Hood louver on opp direction to vent the hot air out. Now I got the donor hood too from the half cut, looking fwd for time to start that project next.

Yes he is the Soarer - proud owner, 1 1/2 Soarer, lol

Some seriously, very well defined dreams from @sertac and @hAwX

A real workhorse and sole survivor in Indian Car market for almost 2 decades.

And more than likely you meet them online or on drives, as I made tons of like-minded friends online and in UAE desert.

You start talking and you never know there must be so many people waiting to listen to it silently, just like your above pic

That's really an ouch memory of the first car to lose the license and have a lifetime of an injury. Mine was Maruti Zen, 4 Cylinder, 993 CC, 60 hp - 5 door hatchback. Real fun to drive in those days, as it weighs 765 Kgs only. I have endless stories of night out's attached to Zen and Esteem (Another Maruti Car of my friend).

My shape Pajero with Pajero EVO Engine + MIVEC head and have a fully qualified mechanic and technician at bay at all times.

You can only do what he did to call Police to rescue, luckily he was on a long highway. God bless the entire team of rescue, police, and ambulance to save his life. Real life superheroes.

Your welcome, but don't go less than 3 cars as this area is quite tricky and filled with soft sand and pockets. That's the whole idea to share the trail and let others explore the world the same way we see it. I will be doing this for my other 70+ tracks soon.

Amazing off-road terrain from Murquab to Lisalli to Qudra Lake in Dubai that offers an amazing mix of medium - tall dunes along with the surprise of small technical dunes. Plenty of opportunities to play and have good dune bashing or dune driving along these set of lovely white sand dunes. Advisable for seasoned lead driver along with fewbies and intermediate drivers only. This area is not suitable for newbies or absolute newbies off-roaders. Minimum cars: 3 capable proper 4x4 cars with recovery points. Sharing the track of exact drive and terrain we followed. Staring: Marquab Waypoint: 24.820579º N - 55.572085º E Finished: Qudra lake Waypoint: 24.849747º N - 55.345336º E Complete route track in GPX and KMZ file attached below - Enjoy.

Thanks, @Binsaloom for creating this most appropriate car club here - Petrolheads. Like you mentioned above I also like JDM simplicity and reliability, especially of older models.

Thanks for the feedback @joe joseph is that OBS thing was of Bilstein or similar type of machine? I'm searching same from some time, please share the location of that Adnoc pump.

I got the bill and it was 1 year and 3 months old purchased. On further diagnose mechanic found and change the starter motor and car started fine. So actually it was a starter issue than the battery so until battery dies I can't blame the battery tbh, but battery branding and labelling looks quiet shady and different than other Yuasa battery on all over the internet.

Welcoming @Rami Hanna - 1999 Pajero 3.5 - Proud owner I just met near my office and stopped him on the busy street to say hi (too bad), as you hardly see these beasts in pristine condition and still running with full pride and honor. Looking forward to seeing you Rami more often on drives or near our offices.

Get your battery checked and changed (if needed), I had this same issue but only once and next day battery died. So this four wheel drive faulty is a known issue when battery dying as it has electronic oil and when that oil gets a fluctuation in voltage it throws this error.

The second point what I was trying to make with this thread is to educate car buyers that every off-road vehicle cannot be used for dune bashing or drive through dunes (in other words). Probably only 20% of the so-called off-road vehicle is capable of such extreme use out of which only 10% does it reliably and without breaking your bank account.

Thank you for answering my concern from a different thread.

@malek is almost correct and then second comes @skumar83 and @Frederic Nuyttens Only slight correction that dune bashing is not always you bash the dunes likes of Faya or big red, but traverse through the dunes means it can be slow or fast but through the dunes. Choosing tracks to drive in the middle of dunes is not dune bashing but offroading, that's the point I wanted to make here. A lot of newbie joins on a drive with tons of offroad experience and get crested on the first dune they cross as either they been to track with other clubs or been to beach sand or roadside sand with inflated tires. @desertdude correctly mentioned that desert safari guys stick to desert driving than dune bashing and just touch a couple of side slope to tilt the car and make tourist scream. Totally different world in that line of business when you have to please the tourist in 30 mins - 60 mins drive and make them jump on sunset point for selfies.

What an awesome choice of terrain after a long time and perfect timing to beat the heat and plus relax at evening.

And then another savior for snail driver comes into play - No overtaking from right, buhahahahaah They can drive anywhere they want and at any speed they want. Period.
