If you're going on mountains and rocks better to get ATS. End 2018 OK, 2017 will last lesser as rubber becomes hard and cracks.

@syedyaseer I'm using to Kumho Solus KL21 on my Mitsubishi Pajeo. These are very quiet even after 60k kilometers and still have thread left on them for maybe another 20k kilometers. I have hardly used them off road twice for only a little bit during 2 of our new year drives so can't comment much. But they managed well without deflation even in really soft sand and I'm happy with their performance. I will be posting a user review for them shortly.

@Sharme you can post your question on a new thread in the Jeep Wrangler section and technical gurus can help you out. As per my limited knowledge the temp gauge did not go up, which means your engine is not heating. Hot oil light if I'm not mistaken is for the gear oil. Since the weather is getting hotter I would recommend to put in a transmission oil cooler which is an extra fan to keep the gear oil cool. But learned technicians can help better if you share your problem in the correct section. https://carnity.com/forums/forum/221-jeep-wrangler-forum-in-uae

@syedyaseer drive already posted for coming Friday and all levels are most welcome. Absolute Newbies will be briefed and helping hands all around.

Looking forward to seeing you this Friday. Carnity is a Pajero breeding farm and you'll feel right at home. There are so many threads on Carnity in regards to off road advises, equipment and many more. Enjoy going through the advises and don't forget to like the advises you love or add your comments. You'll be adequately briefed ahead of the drive and we will all be around to help you as required.

@GumbyAKhan don't forget to ask for Carnity discount.

@LewisCocks90 welcome to Carnity and our off road group. Can you please share which 4x4 you are having now, level is for all, so we will brief you as per our absolute newbie advise and include you in our newbie convoy. We have a few members coming from Abu Dhabi like @Asif Hussain and @Panda82. I'm sure you will love the experience.

Yokohama Geolanders ATS are quite on road and capable off road. I'm not sure about Bridgestone, but BF Goodrich are heavier. Yokos are made in Japan, and worth their price point. @Gaurav bhai who has switched his tires several times after loads of research has changed his Yokos for the second time which speaks loads for them.

I was a pro Nitto Duragrappler user, but recently converted to Yokohama Geolanders ATS and am convinced it is best for both on road and off road use. Got it done from Future tires, they have a business listing on Carnity and offer great service at reasonable price.

Remember when I said a new fun adventure awaits, this is it. All are invited. This time we will drive in Maliha Kalba area that offers perfect opportunity to learn in very safe and several level tracks to navigate and enjoy all level drives.

Trip report from a Fewbie prospective. We had 2 weeks of starting the drive with rain in the air. Last week was starting the drive in thick fog. This week was different, cloudy but hot. Thank goodness for @shadow79 nice work with the AC kept me cool. I found Friday prayers in the new mosque near Al Awir and headed to the meeting point. As there were no absolute newbies we had a quick brief from @Gaurav bhai and we were off to the deflation point. After deflation we were divided into 2 groups, newbie and Fewbie level. @Gaurav bhai headed the newbie group with @Srikumar in the sweep, I headed the Fewbie group with @Emmanuel in the sweep. The newbie group also had @Maxiben, @razeen hasan, @AKR, @Sharme and @Chirag S., my group had @Brette, @yogic72 and @Fuad. As decided 10 minutes after the newbie convoy starting we took off on the right side through some technical dunes with some really soft patches. After having 3 difficult stucks taking over an hour to clear we found an amazing stretch which got us close to the newbie convoy in about 20 minutes. Those 20 minutes were the best 20 minutes I had in a long time. Fast paced and zero stucks in those 20 minutes. But like everything comes to an end, we got a few refusals, but still managed to make it to Pink Rocks and meet up with the newbie gang within a few minutes of them reaching. After saying goodbye to @yogic72 we combined the group to cross Pink Rocks to find a point to settle the crowd for a BBQ. Thanks to @Sharme, 3 of us @Maxiben, @razeen hasan and I were able to witness the flying capabilities of the Wrangler. This came with a sigh of relief from @razeen hasan who had just taken his vehicle of the track to the side. Thank goodness for our brief where we emphasize how important it is to wait in a safe place away from the track, and putting it into good practice. With some heating issues with the Wrangler @Gaurav bhai had to drop @Sharme to the road side. We later continued our quest and came across a nice spot to settle down. With a couple of BBQs going on and stories and jokes flying while some of us had to leave early. The night finally came to an end, thanks to @Emmanuel for guiding us out. After inflation and some warm hugs goodnight we all headed back home with some wide smiles all around. For more action stay tuned as the next fun adventure starts this coming weekend, till than I bid you all farewell.

Wow @Javier M, the complete drive video.

What about the beegees and Boney M?

Amir Zaki was the guitarist for Vital Signs but has a lot of other work too. The lead singer for Vital Signs and the most popular person was Junaid Jamshed. He left singing as he became more involved in religion, was recently killed in a plane crash.

I have been across and listen to many bands in my time, out of the popular band of my time in Pakistan are the following: Vital Signs - The first boy band in Pakistan most popular song to date is Dil Dil Pakistan Junoon - was the second band in Pakistan and they were total rock numbers, recently reunited after 17 years gap. Strings - My all time favourite song Najaney kyun from Spiderman the movie. Hope you enjoy the Pakistan flavour on offer.
