  1. Actually the Wrangler didn’t decelerate at all, as if he couldn’t see that the first car was cresting. Lack of attention? Do Wranglers have a visibility problem at this angle (I don’t know, never really drove one)?
  2. Not really, as you can see on the the light pollution map sent by @Fred : https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/#zoom=6.779569363430645&lat=2642784&lon=6010985&layers=B0TFFFFFFFFFF The best area (which is huge) is located between Al-Aïn and Liwa : Wagan, Al-Quaa, Umm al-Oush, etc. That said, there are many many good reasons to go to Liwa, first of all, the stunning views.
  3. The location mentioned in the article is actually quite far from Al-Quaa, on Razeen Rd. Here is another spot referenced on Google maps and easily accessible by road : « AL Quaa Milky way Spot » Unnamed Road - Abu Dhabi https://goo.gl/maps/7X9jqFxJeJaL1kwT6 In this area especially, it’s not recommended to venture off-road if you’re not an intermediate level driver - and of course, never alone, at least 3 cars. The sabkhas, not only the dunes, might be a danger : they look perfectly harmless, because all flat, but you can get stuck after a few hundred meters with no obvious reason. It almost happened to me once in this area.
  4. You can also go to Ramy automotive in Al-Quoz, maybe they sell mounts for LR4. Might be more expensive though

  7. Sorry I’m not sure about the size. It looks less than 10 mm but maybe I’m wrong. I’ll check tomorrow morning.
  8. If you buy it from JZX shop in Dragon Mart, it comes with a box.
  9. I would suggest to call it Lisayli Stonehenge as there are many of those sand formations in UAE.
  10. Ok then if we hear your rpm above 3000 then you will have to organize a mexican fiesta for all Carnity off-road club members 😜
  11. And, sorry I didn’t notice, but welcome back to you also @Javier M
