Stunning dunes and deserts outside UAE

How do you shout Yallllaaahhh in Chinese when going up the mountain ? -
Stunning dunes and deserts outside UAE
Frederic replied to Emmanuel's topic in Off-Road Club's Discussions
We should go and rent a Chinese 4x4 and explore the area. Like a Carnity school trip -
I made a very similar system myself a while back, It worked fine but i ran across some issues when clipping on the hose to the tyre. Due to some wear and tear on the valve the air came out faster on one tyre in comparison with the other. As a result of that i would have the front tyre at 18psi while the back tyre was at 14psi. From what i see the INdeflate clip-on system looks a bit better so you might not have that problem.

Nope no rear diff lock button on the dashboard at all.

It’s a bit strange. The 2008 LWB gold edition I bought for my wife is a 3.8 but without rear diff lock option. Apparently that gold edition was made for Qatar market mainly according to the seller but I haven’t seen that confirmed somewhere. The Pajeros in other countries got their rear diff lock replaced by LSD and other electronic gadgets from what I’ve read.

Do you think you could pass your driving test again?
Frederic replied to Barry's topic in General Discussions
In UAE. Yes. in Belgium. Most probably not. -
8 speed should be indeed much better on the road, as you can cruise in lower revs on the highway, resulting in lower consumption. For Offroading i am however not so sure if it makes that much of a difference. I am afraid it would be shifting too much constantly in D mode, and it would perform better in tiptronic mode so you can select manually which gear works best for your purposes.

Have a look in attached video buddy. Many comments were made that that black rubber block was suddenly gone at the end of the video, like it fell off. It's nice to give it a try if it does not cost too much but i would not have big expectations on it.

When your Jeep puts you in debt, turn it into a scissor lift. At least it won’t break down standing still.

7 ways you are spoiling your car unknowingly in UAE
Frederic replied to Gaurav's topic in General Discussions
What i see taxi drivers doing often: slowly pushing the pedal for a few second till they reach desired speed, then letting it go, and so on, and so on. So it's like a constant pulsation of gas/no gas. Annoys the hell out of me and i really don't understand why they do it. Not sure if its harmful to the car, but i just don't see the point of doing this. -

Every off-roader must know: What Went Wrong?
Frederic replied to Rahimdad's topic in Off-Road Club's Discussions
At one point his wheels are completely turned while he goes full throttle. That created the breakout which he could not correct or rectify anymore. More power comes with more risk and more skills required !- 524 replies

Bringing my Little Pajero back to life again and then having a decent mechanic do the fine-tuning to restore as many ponies as possible. As my 2019 budget is already blown, not many mods will be planned

Personally wouldn’t recommend doing a timing belt yourselves if you don’t have prior experience. I don’t know your technical level and I don’t mean to belittle, but if it goes wrong with a timing belt, your engine will be wrecked and it’s going to cost you big bucks.
-
100k service would mean timing belt, spark plugs, and maybe spark plug cables according to the Pajero Service Manual on top of your regular maintenance. Low cost and good quality are a bit of an oxymoron. A decent service will always cost a bit but the stealerships will take more than independent workshops. Depending on where you live you can have a look at the workshops listed here on Carnity that could/should give you a member price and you can check the google reviews on the nearby workshops and make some phone-calls to enquire if they are servicing Mitsubishi Pajero. Good luck !

Mine was a massive aftermarket air filter on my 205. Best 60 bucks I’ve ever spent 😂

Like all hobbies, there's always equipment available for all budgets. Since i started looking around on Souq, ACE, Ramy, Speedex, DM, and many others, i've come across utter crap but also pretty decent stuff for an affordable price. If in doubt, google around a bit or have a look on Youtube. Most decent brands for offroad gear will have reviews about users in SA, Australia, US, or other offroad markets. Here goes my two cents: Compressors Bought two models from Xcessoires (ACE homebrand). The Grunter and Big Grunter if i am not mistaken.They are poorly made but do the job. Recommend to upgrade the hoses and supply wires as these fall apart after using a few times. Imho they cost way too much as these are just rebranded Chinese compressors. You can find the identical ones in DM at half the price. Ended up buying the Camel Brand 160lpm compressor in DM and so far is much better. I don't like using the yellow spiral hoses so i bought separate rubber hoses with pressure gauge. No experience with ARB, VIAIR, Bushranger, or other more high-end brands yet. Although read tons of reviews about them. Like engines, there is no replacement for displacement. The bigger the compressor, the less longer it will have to work, and the cooler it will run. Ropes You have a few options here: Either you go for an industrial type of sling which you can find in almost any hardware / general trading shop. This one will get the job done fine as tow rope and also as recovery rope if you are a bit careful. They cannot deal with heavy tugs because they don't stretch. You should AVOID the 40dhs tow ropes from the gas-stations at any time. They are made to tow a car along the road, NOT for recovery in the desert. They will snap if you sneeze at them. A very good price/quality KINETIC recovery rope is the AOR brand one. You'll find them in Ramy, Speedex, ACE, etc.. Price is around 370dhs if i am not mistaken. Mind that i mention KINETIC, that means it stretches up to 20% and that recoil builds up massive amounts of energy. I love kinetic ropes but be careful with them. Shackles AOR also makes the soft shackles which i highly recommend. Metal shackles will work fine and i also use them if needed, but always carries a bit of risk. Try to get rated ones as they should be better than the cheap ones from DM. Shovels Shovels were mentioned a few times before on Carnity. Buy a full size labourer/gardener shovel with wooden handle. I also carry a AOR aluminium one which works fine too. For the offroad drives i take them both along. It might indeed be good to have a separate thread for buying and selling stuff (like a market-corner).
