@Jeepie and myself plan on arriving Thursday around 10pm (work permitting we will leave around 7pm). Or were you thiking about Friday night? 

Don't really fancy a 3 hour blast from Dubia and then a full day in the Dunes - better the other way round (hahaha)

I meant on Friday night after the drive

Who is planning to stay the night?

What would happen if all the park assist systems in all cars/vehicles suddenly stopped working? Would anybody still be able to park a vehicle without hitting anything? 

Some people cant even park with all of these cameras. Just go to any mall and you'll find them.  

It think we are overthinking this why can't we just use 446.100 446.200 446.300 etc.

I don't know any in Sharjah bit in Al qouz are plenty of shops. Icon, Offroad Zone and Ramy are the shops I know would put one.

Actually, prices of the CB radios are not that expensive and antenas are not that big and can easily pass as the radio antenna. 

The advantage is that you don't have to remember to charge your radio, range and sound quality is way better than certain cheap crappy hand held. Disadvantage is that you have to be near your car to talk over the radio. 

Source? Certain Mexican's Jeep..

I usually take my Jeep here for alignment and balancing, they do a good job and reasonable price.

I heard good things about TORC but expect to be overcharged. 

This is not a meme, but definitely meme worthy. 🤣🤣

Hmmmm...

Hmmm... but closer

Yup. That happened.

I've added a picture to give you guys more info

You might be interested in Hands-Free Headsets. See attached. 

This will help securing the radio somewhere while still be able to communicate.

Tesla will definitely become one of the most hackable items in the future, creating opportunities for tuners, eco warriors, or just Wizzkids doing it for the fun of it.

Considering that they sell the drive trains to other companies already this basically means that it becomes a commodity item. The software that has been written by a young team of engineers will float in the cloud in a couple of years, allowing other coders to decode it and use the building blocks. 

Its already there, not only Tesla's but other cars too. You can drive them remotely, or even start or disable them too. You've been able to do that for years. 

I have so many questions 🤣🤣 but just replace your tire sensor buddy. 

I recommend swimming every day. That's what works for me. Unfortunately the pool in my building was in maintenance for months. Now that I've moved to a different building and once I stop traveling for work will be back to swimming.

I've found that swimming every day and skipping dinner or having a light dinner works for me.

In a straight line yes of course bigger brakes make a lot of difference. However on the dunes, not really, because you don't use the brakes too much. 

I would also think on adding a bigger master cylinder, sometimes only adding rotors, pads and lines will not be enough, depending on the car. 

When I was renewing my insurance I checked with RSA and it was more expensive than AXA, and AXA had more coverage, so I sticked with AXA, I recommend you just use their website to get a quote.

That doesn’t look good. I’ve been going through some forums and apparently the vehicle does not come with stock front tow hooks. Considering the weight of this truck i would not advise taking it to the desert. Recovery from both sides has to be possible at all times. 
 

installing Mopar tow hooks:

I would recommend have some proper recovery points fabricated. I experienced these very similar tow hooks bended on me while recovering a truck, the recovery rope bounced back to my car, luckily I was using soft shackles. 

Last time I camped inside my car. I don't remember how I got there but that's a different story. 😂

I can't believe I will be missing this. I will be traveling during this. 😭

Sorry I missed this trip I had to go to Brazil for work 😫

Well, this doesn't clarify anything, it just made me more confused
