Happy Bday @Gaurav, wish you many more!!

Yes, indeed @Varun Mehndiratta, it didnt. 🙂 A tyre shop gave me couple of temporary replacement tyres (used), in place of 4 of my tyres (Yoko Geos) removed from my previous car, which the shop guys "lost" for some unknown reason. It was a stop gap arrangement until they could locate my tyres. I saw the treads of these tyres before they put them on , but did not get a good look at the beads, as it was stacked one above another , and higher than our eye levels. Yesterday, I directly went to them and had it removed, and found that the beads were damaged/torn at couple of places. Looks like the previous owner was using them on bead locks and took some heavy beating. So thats it - bad beads; i was deflated to 12psi, and the beads were not holding on to the rims as it should have, lost air, ended up flat with a semi pop out, which is why we could not fill the air back , They put the tyre back, with that paste thingy, and it held perfectly at 35psi - no leaks. Now negotiating with the shop for a solution and aiming to sort out before the holiday drives 🤞🤞 Thanks for all the help and patience in sorting this out and installing my spare tyre - @Varun Mehndiratta, @Looper, @Mehmet Volga, @george charbel and sorry to keep you waiting and partially ruining your morning - @Juan R @premindra rajaram, @Sebb Am sure @Looper must have made up for it by taking you through a fantastic drive, making the best of what was remaining of your precious saturday morning !!

Updating now 😁🙏

Removing myself @Varun Mehndiratta, i have an opportunity to drive at Sweihan with a group of friends same day and time, ...so looking at the WL, i think i should ease up the competition and give some respite to @Simon D Lets see if our convoys cross each other 😀

Hi @Benjamin, i have hurricane shocks with 20 point adjustable, remote reservoirs on my Fortuner, got it fitted in October '22 after i broke the stock ones on a Sweihan drive... so far, i am perfectly happy with what it can do.. i was a bit budget conscious when i wanted to upgrade, and this one fit my bill perfectly after hearing some good reviews from some of my friends...stopping here, lest the post crosses the line and becomes a brand promotion 😀

great drive, as usual @Hisham Masaad, redemption achieved , except for @Ranjan Das 🙂 @Imteeaz ..just recalled that you had an insta mounted...any interesting shots of the fortuner 😉 ? i was driving behind you
