2 of my friend have them one 2010(180.000km) and one 2013(120.000km). 2010 start needing some maintenance and 2013 still holding good but who knows how long. I am agree with Lawrence to go with Japanese brand. Also owner of 2010 told me that Ford place the water pump somewhere inside the engine and if water pump leaks it will leak in to the oil pump and your coolant and engine oil will be mixed. He said this is common issue with 3.5 Ford engines. However i haven`t verify this information. You can check further.

All off road shops are same. You can call them one by one and get price. Whichever is cheaper you can go with that. Just make sure it is at least 6mm. When i was checking for my Xterra there was almost 2 times price difference between cheapest one and most expensive one. Also i heard that time to time these guys are changing their price. That's why best to call them all.

Very well deserved. Many congratulations @David Ortells

Congrats @Ashy well deserved.

For remembering today i will leave this here as well😀. Nothing can stop me i am all the way up!

Today i had a pleasant time. I felt like i got all the off roading i need. Little bit of technicality more of climbing of high dunes some bowl ride. It was totally amazing. We didn`t use any rope if i am not mistaken not even a shovel. It was amazing thanks a lot to all of you guys.

Come come we will arrange a space for you we still have 1 person space no issues

Ok everyone after all the changes convoy numbering as below. We will be using Carnity Channel 2 on the radio. We don't have CF position in the convoy. Since we have tones of Intermediate driver i expect all of you to interfere with the refusals and stucks. As i mentioned before please on the meeting point stay away from each other. None of us want hefty fine from police or getting ban form the club. 1 Sertac Expert Xterra Lead 2 Arda Yagcioglu Fewbie Xterra 2nd Lead 3 Shaaz Sha Intermediate Xterra 4 varunmehndiratta Fewbie Wrangler JLU 5 Jack Thomas Intermediate F150 6 Ashy Fewbie Grand Cherokee 7 Ilya Golubinsky Intermediate Wrangler JLU 8 David Ortells Fewbie FJ Cruiser 9 Ahab Sharma Intermediate FJ Cruiser 10 Jeandre Bezuidenhout Intermediate Wrangler Sweep

@varunmehndiratta can you send me the pictures and details of the car to my whatsapp +905321753410 one of my friend might be interested with it.

I am always using very cheap ones. I don't even know the brand. I even used them with my heavy Mamiya cameras, it was fine. However if you going to use it outside with heavy wind and long lens than what you are using is very important. If i was you i would by anything around 50dhs than lets see if you have any difficulty you can get something more professional.

Since no one else is in the waitlist i am adding @Jack Thomas back to the drive.

I think you should get at least 20.000 for that car. If i needed a car now i would jump on it for that price.

As a proud Mercedes owner now over a 2.5 year and 45.000km(car is 2009 and current milage is 123.000km) I can say Mercedes is not like the other European car makers. It was amazingly reliable. Until last month all i did was just general maintenance. Last month i needed to change the front shocks, lower arm bushes and engine mounts. Which didn't cost arm and leg if anyone wondered. I believe that is normal for 12 year old sports car. I have the full service history of the car before me also it was just general oil and filter change. Currently Mercedes giving 5 years 150.000km warranty on their cars, that also another good point for you. That is my experience with Mercedes however for the sake of holding car value i would go for a Lexus in this country. Since you are happy with the brand you can continue with it.

Since @Sinol is out @Ilya Golubinsky is added to the drive.

Since he hasn`t responded @Jack Thomas is removed from the drive and the first person on the waitlist @David Ortells added to the drive.

Both not a good idea on such old Jeep.

@Jack Thomas If you not respond with which drive you will be in until 12pm i have to remove you from this drive. I found that below members are not clicked on totally agree button of Covid19 Precautions V2.0.
