    Hahahaha no need for a heatgun in that case 😂

    Gilette...the best a windshield can get... Probably a heat gun to make the glue loose, and then an old creditcard or cutter blade. That should do the trick.

    I would try the shaving method: * Take a Stanley cutter knife and remove the blade, make sure the glue is hot or heated up it should come off easier. Then put on some gloves and by sliding / shaving over the windshield in a 45° angle you should be able to remove the glue. Just imagine you're working in a barber shop

    Rubber boot is also meant to keep dust and sand from entering the unit.

    Now Superman is really back ! As I mentioned this was for me one of the best drives I’ve had in the club so far. The terrain was challenging at times, but thanks to the experienced convoy and great lead, we had very little stucks and refusals. The pace and rhythm was good at all times and the atmosphere was as usual unique. Closing off at the lakes with some great Karak Chai, fantastic samosas, and some chit chat, I drove home with a big smile on my face and crashed happily onto my couch. See you soon back in the sandbox !

    I totally get the wrapping thing if you have a super valuable car of which you want to keep the original paint intact and if you have plans to keep the car for a very long time. For a regular commuter car it’s nonsense. Same as keeping the plastic on the seats and interior. Makes you look like one of the Goodfellas Mafia guys.

    This is what we might see between Murqab and Lisaili coming weekend 😂

    Great article with details. The Diesel springs look like a good solution. If they are not to your likings, you can always revert to the OEM scrap springs as you were happy with the OEM ones before and i can imagine you are so used to it that any change in your current setup feels a bit 'off", and could force you to change your offroad-driving style to compensate for that.

    This is how my trailing arm bushing looked like, and the clunking sound on speed bumps was really bad. On top of that the car was driving very "wonky" and unstable: While the arm is removed, best to do the other bushings also. @shadow79 did both trailing arms with aftermarket bushings, and the difference is night and day.

    When you’ve spent your entire budget on your car, but really wanted to have those 24 inch rims

    Come and live in an Emaar community like Arabian Ranches or Mira. It is far worse.... But Sports City is the only place i ever been where they can't even seem to align the manholes to the pavement. They are installed like 5 inches higher. A real sportscar would break its crankcase immediately. Oh and it took them only 10 years to have some water in that canal.....

    I have the same sound on my wifey's 2008 Pajero. I always assumed it sounded like the rear diff teeths locking into each-other, but come to think of it, it is probably the rear bushes on the arms. In this climate they tend to dry and crack.

    YabbaDabbadooooo !! Due to circumstances I have been missing out on this area several times although it’s the one closest near home. I’m definitely in !

    Exactly, even many taxi drivers are like that. It frustrates me like crazy. 🤬

    Yes, on mountain offroading your brakes will have to work a lot more than in the desert. I think 35000 kms with the same brakepads is fine. Again this depends on so many factors. I drive 55 kms to work and all on E611. Hardly need to use my brakes if i drive a bit "smart".
