At least I have one star which means I posted more than 50 times , still I agree with Barry here. People like me are just infants in car technicalities. Can admin make a clear note regarding this?

Thank you for organizing such a great event team carnity. It was a pleasure to drive touching the whole UAE as a convoy. I felt the pleasure of long drive as well as the care of team when Gaurav bhai handed over the radio to me. It was fun and helpful at the same time. Regarding the pictures, I have shared whatever I took in the whatsapp group and unfortunately, I don't have it with me now. I had to format my phone due to some technical errors. I hope you can find my pictures in whatsapp group if you have not cleared it yet. I was expecting to meet you @Barry.

I was super busy and i couldn't see this post earlier. Anyway I am super excited to see all of you. My friends asked me..."you are already driving 350-400km a day and are you crazy to drive on this super hot (holi)day again a 600km?" We dont have to explain our passion right? I just smiled 😀

Thank you @Rahimdad bhai for such a detailed response. taking the vehicle to offroad means we have to be prepared for the maintenance. So it would always be better to go for the machines which are cheaper to maintain. The price tag was quite catchy as well as the looks, thanks to Gaurav bhai for the kind suggestion.

Recently I have seen Dodge Durango 2001 model and I wish to know the offroad capabilities of the same.

Probably my first offroad buddy would be a pathfinder. 2001-2004 model. Have a lot to learn from the masters @Rahimdad @Gaurav

@Rahimdad exactly Rahim bhai. I was using the same moto assist. Anyway usage of the phone is a great distraction for drivers. I don't attend the calls if I can't pull over and I get a lot of complaints from my boss for not answering his calls

I guess i could join you.

Superman suggested the 2001 model and i couldn't find one yet...most of them are 2003 and 2004. What are the main differences?

With all the input i guess its better to choose either a pathfinder or a pajero swb.

It will be a problem while doing the registration i guess. Also the police could catch us incase of an accident. Awaiting answers I also started driving manual since the age of 10 . Anyway I hope I can find one suitable 4x4.

I never thought i would need manual license here. I regret now.

That would a great miss then. I don't have manual license.

Thank you for the correction @Barry & @desertdude

Yeah I have heard a lot about the range rovers which is not so good. So if possible please do break the myths and misconceptions.

Is the Jeep a good option when it comes to maintenance?

Dear all, I have been following this group for the past 10 months and I was lucky enough to float over the sands of UAE with the great carnity team. Needless to say, I fell in love with the off roading. I was eagerly waiting to get my license and as I received it, the next step is to get myself a proper 4x4. Myself I am not a big technical geek when it comes to the automobile field and I am learning. About the car, it will be my first car as well. I really don't want to spend a lot of money on the car. (I will be having company car for the normal commute.) It would be the best if it comes under 10k. Please help me out here: Which are the possible options for me (brand, model etc)? What would be the average maintenance cost I would face? ( It differs with model to model and I am asking just to get an idea)? I guess the vehicle at this price would be a really old one and probably the odometer would have crossed 400k, would it be a correct choice? Thanks to team carnity once again

thank you every one Dear Byju sir, it's Manu,

Sorry if I am wrong...but will this reduce the effective ground clearance and cause the damage to the additional system in off road?

Indeed Barry Thank you so much.

Thanks a lot, Deepak ji.. That's the best appreciation ever.

Can't express my happiness. Driving on the roads officially after the wait of 1.5 years. It was a long journey as it was from Sharjah. Anyway happy that I could pass all the tests in Ist try itself. Thank God.

Thanks alot for the kind advices @shadow79 @desertdude @Rahimdad. I really haven't gone deep into the automobile technicalities before. There's a lot to learn. I'm sure that i can get answers here, gonna start my search here.
