  1. 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?
  2. Oh yeah, but why do you need grill in electric setup in first place. No engine, no cooling, no air, no ventilation.
  3. 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
  4. Because it seems they all are made in same factory and different brands putting the front grill and tail light for branding.
  5. I dont think Ford is killing normal Mustang, this is in addition to the existing lineup.
  6. NO Really, I will write so much if I knew which tire......cmmon. Shifting has taken a big toll on your sleep.
  7. Ford unveiled its first electric Mustang SUV Mach-E, to go head to head with other electric cars in market. $44,000 price tag for a 300 miles range seems good for electric segment. What do you guys think......?
  8. In my 2009 Trail blazer, one of the TPMS has gone bad showing the low pressure light on dash all the time. The only way I can think of removing each tire and open it to check all 4 wheels for the faulty one. Is there any other intelligent way to pick a tire that has faulty TPMS and just replace that one than checking all 4 tires. Oh btw, dash has single icon for low pressure and not for all 4 tires icon, its 2009, lolol.
  9. You should get comprehensive insurance from RSA and AXA easily, still double check and compare pricing.
  10. Have you checked these famous routes and places? It's not all offroad and mix with road and mountain tracks https://carnity.com/forums/forum/266-offroad-routes
  11. I dont know which year model Amit has, I just mentioned my wife 2009 model as an example of 10 years old still getting comprehensive, dont know till how long though.......!
  12. Such myth list goes on and on: Drive on LO all the time Drive on HI but in first and second gear all the time Install 10K suspension first before hitting the sand Put biggest possible tire with most aggressive looks and tread Install bull bar before hitting the sand Install snorkel, chip, turbonator, throttle spacer to be desert ready Give strong tug on every smallest refusal to demonstrate the strongest car Shovel and self recoveries are for idiots Why clear the sand when tow rope strong pull will do the job catch me if you can (said / unsaid contest) all the time
  13. Call RTA and ask for procedure to change insurance on the registration card. Its doable. Then cancel the current insurance and go for RSA or AXA insurance. Just before you cancel check with RSA or AXA if they offer you comprehensive insurance for your car model year, as they have certain rules depending on driver background and how many cars you have with them. I have 2009 model with comprehensive insurance, but heard from a friend that they are not offering comprehensive for more than 5-7 years of age of cars.
  14. Not long enough, if you drive good, seniors might promote you in next 4-5 drives rather than 10, which is an outline of the structure. There is no hard and fast rule here. If drivers are good, then they do get promoted early and vice versa for infrequent or slow learners. The only idea is to promote anyone at any level is when we are 100% sure that he/she is ready for the next level based on their drive skills, techniques, teamwork, and offroad gear.
  15. Very nice to hear that. As much as this extreme sport require skills, dedication and patience, it equally requires a team player to trust and watch each other back all the time. Well done @Halit Mert Issever keep it up.

  17. Well done guys, nice drive, nice video, nice weather and nice company.
  18. Yes everyone is doing well, thank god. Mohammed got the cops paper and it will be sorted soon with insurance. Does anyone spotted big dip or bush at 0.07 sec that bounced the car heavily....? Watch in full screen. Also intention to steer left than climbing up as desertdude rightly mentioned would have saved it completely. FJC in stock state is very tipsy, added with 3-4 inch lift is a recipe for disaster. We have mentioned and pointed same last week at Qudra exit and we never knew this could prove fatal so fast. Sad. However, such incident always remind all of us that every sport has some associate risk and soon we acknowledge, embrace and learn to stay clear from such risk, better it is for everyone.
  19. Due to some unforeseen situation, I won't be joining the drive tomorrow. @Rahimdad will lead the convoy and also welcome @Jamy B. to ride along.
