    A Radio license is required for commercial usage like security companies, construction companies, etc. For hobbyist using the radio in the desert, we prefer to use license-free to use frequency band (PMR446.0-446.1)

    Thanks Gregory, We've had quite some newbies getting this radio lately. The UV5R is a classic with lots of whistles and bells and online tutorials (popular with the HAM radio community in USA). If you need info on programming, have a look at the Advices section: https://carnity.com/advice/offroad/carnity-two-way-radio-frequencies-r119

    The nearest gas station has fire extinguishers. A medical kit probaby comes standard in your glove compartment. Have a look and keep me posted.

    Is this applicable for Gen 3 Pajero ? In my Gen4 i've tried removing the TC fuses underneath the dashboard, but ABS kept kicking in. Only solution was to remove the ABS relay under the hood.

    I'd usually go to Deira near the Metro station where you have those laptop repair and phone repair shops, but not sure if going downtown now is advisable. You could maybe check with Geeks.ae. They are in JLT

    Unichip and Pedal Commander are two different animals and each have their own functionalities: - Unichip is basically a plug and play unit that connects to your engine management system, and that is made to enhance the car's performance. I've never been a big fan of chiptuning, unless you do it on a recent vehicle with max 50-60k on the odometer. After that the engine has settled, and i would not go for chiptuning anymore, but that's just my two cents and not based on facts that the engine might suffer more. - Pedal Commander is a unit that you connect between the pedal actuator and the ECU. What this one does, is manipulate the output voltage of your pedal as per your desired setting. So for example if you put it on ECO mode, and you push the throttle pedal, the signal to the ECU will be slightly delayed, or the throttle signal will be limited, resulting in a more soft throttle response. Vice versa using the Sports Mode will make the responsiveness more aggressive and fast, which can indeed help to have that big beast to slightly react faster (which you could also to by pushing harder on the throttle). When learning to drive offroad, and especially on newbie level, i would never vouch for spending dirhams on any of these items. But when the time comes that you are completely in tune with your car, and are looking for an upgrade in terms of either performance or responsiveness, than you can start looking at these things, one at a time (don't get them both installed at the same time as it will massively confuse you and how you feel the car). I remember how sensitive @Gaurav was when he changed the rear springs on his car, and later when i reached intermediate and advance level i finally understood how ANY small change on your vehicle can have big consequences and might take you some time to get in tune with your vehicle again.

    What you could also do is buying a short piece of webbing sling (40-50 dhs), like from a gas station tow rope, cut off the metal shackles at the end, and use this piece of sling as a kind of sleeve protection. So you basically loop this one through the hole of the fabricated plate, and then loop your soft shackle behind. Below crappy picture explains it better: So that cheap simple webbing sling just acts as a protection sleeve. If it starts to wear, just move it up a bit or throw it. It will protect your 120dhs soft shackle. If you are really inventive, roll up your latest penthouse magazine, and loop your soft shackle through this one. But it will destroy your precious magazine

    Reese is a household name for tow hitches. I’ll ask Xaf to give it a good tug coming Friday 😜

    Welcome to Carnity ! Lots of people order their radios on Amazon nowadays. Just make sure it’s a UHF radio with manual programming possibilities. recommended and tested models: - Crony / Motorola MT777 - Prolab WT5WD - Baofeng UV5r or UV9r - Crony 888 Under the Advices section you’ll find programming instructions.

    Dobinsons have upgraded suspension kits for Pajero Gen4. I think price wise it’s around 3500 dirhams at least.

    In a future Dystopian society, I’ll be fighting off Skynet as John Connor, while driving a little blue Pajero.

    Nice topic ! So far my rear lip has stayed intact, maybe this has to do with the tow bar that’s mounted underneath?

    OMG..... I once came across a brown Triumph Spitfire 1500 for sale from a retired grandfather that started the restoration but gave up due to health problems. I really really wanted to buy it from him, but my other half righteously claimed we had no space to put it and i had to let it go. That car was like 80% finished and had original paint. I saw myself driving across the Belgian cornfields but alas it was not to be.

    Thanks for your support Alessandro. You're always around, never shy to help, and it's a blessing having you in any convoy of the club !

    @Nayan Shenai i was able to re-program your Baofeng UV5R radio, and also updated the programming instructions. The problem was that: 1) The default programmed channels needed to be deleted first from channels 1 till 5. 2) When saving the frequency under a channel number (step 6 and step 7 in the instructions) you need to go through it twice. First you will hear confirmation voice for "receiving memory", and the second time you save it you will hear "transmit memory". This is necessary because in a simplex radio we always transmit and receive on the same frequency. @E.C. TAN @Chaitanya D if you have programming issues with this radio, have a look at the Advices section, i made a programming manual for most used radios, including the Baofeng UV5R.
