Depends what you are going to use the additional lights for. We normally use the LED light bar for our desert night drives. You can go to the Naif Road area opposite Hyatt Recency and ask them to show you a few samples and which ones you would like to be installed. You can get the LED for as less as AED 250 or more, the halogen lamps are I think about AED 80 each. RTA will not trouble you on read, but yearly passing can be an issue, so I suggest you get the covers for them and remove the covers when you want to use them. I believe you cannot use the additional lights on the road, there could be a fine for that. Regarding the fouling I don't know much, but it's common unlike before and you can get it done cheaply and any good workshop will do a decent job. Just ask them to show you any car they have foiled and don't go for their words. Inspect what they have done and decide if you want to do it through them.

I know the trailhead is designed for off-roading, not so sure of the longitude, but join in for a newbie drive and we will try to guide you in the right direction.

Come for one of the newbie trips and I will introduce you to your vehicle, button by button.

In low gear the traction control is automatically turned off, when in 4 high you have to manually keep the traction control button pressed until 2 yellow lights appear on your cluster. You will have crazy power in high. When the vehicle has traction control on, in the sands the wheels are slipping so the engine cuts the power. With traction control off you are good to go. Looking forward to seeing you soon and introducing you to some safety tips as well as your vehicle in a new light.

Weekend after weekend we are spending with each other for the love of driving in conditions we do not face during our daily drives. This weekend will be somewhat different. With New Year quick approaching and trying to keep with the traditions we should be looking for a spot to wish each other as the clock strikes 12. Unfortunately as per the current laws we cannot have a bon fire or BBQ, but we can still share pre prepared food and beverages. The idea is to start at ease in the morning so that everyone is well rested and the current situation with the fog can be eliminated. When: 29 December 2017, Friday Meeting time: 9 AM, convoy will move when dog is clear. Where: Trek bike shop Al Qudra Lakes. GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/oUdEg2hDM2n Level of drive: all levels as we will not be doing much to find the spot. Depending on how quickly we can find a spot and who all are interested for a quick drive we can arrange as per convoy strength. Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 10 inches of ground clearance, anybody not having a 4x4 can join in and park their vehicle at the meeting point. What to bring along: Snacks, whatever you like with little extra to share, water, liquids, smiles, stories, enthusiasm and willingness to learn and share. Approximate Finish Time: flexible to find spot for New Year and for a quick drive for all who are in. Please Note, at meeting point there is no petrol station, make sure you fill your tanks on your way at nearest petrol station. Please RSVP the below calendar:

I'm in with full support.

Most of these products do not deliver what they promise as they know most people would not go on the dyno to check their claims. Only spark plugs by themselves cannot effect the vehicle I'm a big way as well. You need a few more mods to produce half decent results. Just my 2 cents.

As far as I know My tank were only AWD no 4x4 models.

Welcome Arbee. Looking forward to interacting with you. Dank U.

What a beautiful weather, amazing people and awesome terrain for a brilliant day out. Everything does not go as planned, that should be out Moro. The amazing thing out of all of this is we are in for anything thrown at us as a team. Saleem bhai has plenty to keep his hands greasy. The plan to offer Friday prayers at either Pink Rocks or at Maliha entrance was ruled out after an hour into the drive. We headed back to the Bidayer Mosque instead and soon after went looking for a couple of things that could get the convoy moving. Unfortunately the trouble was more persistent than us and we had to park one of the 6 rides at entry point and continued the drive with 5. From here the team impressed me keeping pace and we quickly reached Pink Rocks and crossed to the other side heading to Maliha. The spot where we climb in was soft and sticky and took us a bit of time to clear. But once we were through the first stage we met up with a group of Nissan Patrols that seemed to be migrating in numbers, we joined them for a quick drive through a very nice track to Big Fall. As we glanced at Faya from a distance, all we could see was a Tal Moreeb like atmosphere with cars flying right, left and center. We decided against crossing over and played for some time at the Big Falls. As the sun started to go down and time was the essence, we crossed Ive through a break in fence we had found on a previous drive and started to drive to Fossil Rocks. As the sun set and it was getting dark we were on top of Fossil Rock with only Saleem dinging some soft patch. After recovering him we headed to the top. Here some bossy Locals whose LC had stalled borrowed my car to get it off the angle and getting it started. They got my Pathy stuck and were thinking of easy solution by cutting to rope. I kept reminding them the cost which it seemed they did not want to pay. But these local kids are genius, as he dug around the wheels to cause a decline behind them, just 2 inches as we pushed the car back. Now the rope was free and he had the chance to go around to the front and pull their car down. Once at the base his car started and we were finally off back to the top of Fossil Rock. Sertac and myself took on the steep decline, while Asif bhai, Ahmed and Sallem took the way around. As we drive out Asif bhai took the lead as I swept and Sertac decided to stay back and enjoy the weather further with a nice BBQ. What an amazing day out, thanks to all involved in making this another memorable trip from Carnity. Pics to be posted soon in the Gallery.

I am planning a full day drive from Bidayer towards Pink Rock, stopping at a mosque for Friday prayers and continuing to Kalba Maliha area. The last time we were there we found some amazing rolling dunes, and look forward to some similar excitement. This area offers all level terrain in some easy to medium size rolling dunes, and we expect to finish at the pink rock area. This is an all level drive, fit for newbies and fewbies as well. When: 3 Nov, 2017 Friday Meeting time: 9:00 AM, convoy will move sharp at 9:15 AM Where: Old Emarat Petrol Station at Lahbab R/A GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/gQd1UszDdSG2 Level of drive: Absolute Newbie - Newbie - Fewbie - Expert - Advance - All are welcome Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 10 inches of ground clearance Plan: Morning drive from Bidayer to Pink rock and then on to Kalba Maliha What to bring along: snacks - whatever you like with little extra to share, water, liquids, smiles, stories, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Nice video, as Noor put it we can relive the experience through this work of art.

MT are more aggressive pattern than Dune grapplers, I have not seen dune grapplers in a long time so I use Dura grapplers highway terrain and they are quite good on sand. I have a detailed report on those in the advise section.

Congrats on your first drive post. Insha Allah I will also try to make it for your first lead.

What an endurance drive. Still recovering from the long drive.

Confused, he's right about Not being very tastful for few.

People will do anything to gain attention.

This looks really amazing team spirit even before we step out on sand. Azazing coordination guys. Looks like we have an awesome team.

Mine is 70 litre tank, gives me 550 kms after direct fan. My guess is 250 -300 kms off-road. I will be carrying 20 litres extra.

Wow Gaurav bhai. Excellent plan. In in with full support. I guess we will have to be very selective in picking drivers we feel are ready for such a challenge. No offense to those who do not get selected this time. Just means you need a little more experience under your belt and we need to have more faith in your skills.

Thanks @Asif Hussain for once again choosing a fantastic area. @sertac well managed and our surprise package @Mujtaba. This time you've proved to be an excellent planner in terms of the Last petrol station on the way and for the Friday prayers for Muslims. The most amazing journey became even better as we lay on the tallest dune in the area and caught some meteors on a starry night. @Gaurav bhai, thank you for your guidance, patience, trust and back planning to make sure each trip is an enjoyable experience. @shadow79 most capable with it without the race juice and @skumar83 totally my best buddy to help me with sweep duties. Love you all.

Excellent idea @Gaurav bhai. I'm in with the family and any support required for a short drive in the dunes around.

Back in the 80's Saeed Al Hijri from Qatar used to drive the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet and I've always been a huge fan of this machine.
