I ran by Toby's in Dragonmart today and he showed me some new 22" LightBar they have which produces an acclaimed 50K Lumens... at first I didn't believe him so I made him start it up... I know the guy pretty well so I told him I want to take it and test it for a day. Brought it by to my friend's place who has a 50" Rigid Adapt bar which produces approx 50K Lumens as well, we went to the open beach to light em up.. and this was definitely just as bright and shot a good 700-800 meters. I will be going tomorrow to give him the cash for it lol, China isn't messing around.

TJ All the way! The 2007-2011 JK's have a really bad engine and struggle for power. With a TJ you have an AMC Straight 6 engine which are known to be almost bulletproof and are very cheap to maintain and modify if needed. Yes, if you want something to drive daily also then the rattling in the TJ will be annoying, but its the perfect desert toy!

YesSir!

That one is a 3.8 Manual, this is a 3.0 Automatic

hahahaha noooo! there's a "06 3.0 SWB which has been fully modded too... belongs to a friend of mine. I think I'll put it up in the classifieds section

In Hindsight, you are absolutely correct about the not wanting a newbie driver to be in a fully modified vehicle.. that didn't even cross my mind!

Hi Rohan, buy the second car... If possible try to find one which has been modified already! If its been used in the desert its okay as the previous owner has probably spent enough maintaining it. With the added advantage of saving money by getting it already modded. Any which ways, with older cars you will have a few issues so keep 5-7K just on the side to do any maintenance with it. I'm sure you will get many different opinions as everyone has a different experience with how they have come to use their cars. Hard truth is that no matter what route you'll end up spending a good chunk of money. Having a desert toy means its gonna rattle or make a few noises here and there, which is why always keep a comfortable daily/reliable commuter alongside. This will save you any logistic issues if one car is in the garage too.

To be honest I don't know the Lumens, all I know is that when I switch it on I should see a second sun. It does that pretty well lol.

I have the Hanma lights from Dragonmart too, paid 450 AED for a 22 inch light bar which is mounted on my front bumper. Along with some side mounted flood lights for 270. Both came with a 2 year warranty. They run beautifully!

Thank you for the Drive Sri! @Srikumar Firstly, sorry for holding everyone up towards the end, the car is all fixed.. was the silly MAF sensor with a broken pin. The drive was slow but still the route had good flow and was a pretty relaxed drive! Hope to see everyone next weekend too! Cheers, Jas

Thanks! See you

Hi Sri, My Compressor decided to give up on me right now as I was doing a test of the equipment. Are we planning to exit nearby a petrol station? Just don't want to burden one of you as it'll be hot by the time we exit! Cheers, Jas

I am attaching the Relay to pull and My Air Box, keep in mind with these filters is it important to make sure you buy a DRY Filter (Not Oiled) and after every drive you take it off and air gun it to remove sand.

Hey @andy_macdxb!, Welcome to the Pajero life Gen 3's were only made till late 2006, if your car is a 2008 it is a Gen 4! This opens up a lot of computers you'll have to tingle around with, especially for the gearbox. Send a picture of your car so i'll be able to confirm if its a Gen 3 or 4. 1. So you can either get a traction control kill switch installed (100-150Dhs) at your Garage, or there is an ABS/Traction Relay under the hood, I will post its exact picture in a while, just pull that out before off-roading and within 1km of driving everything should shut off. 2. There is no ready-made aftermarket CAI (Cold Air Intake) in the market for the Pajero but what I have done is made a custom box and mounted a cone filter inside there. The Pajero's intake is already VERY high up and is amongst the best in the 4x4 world today. If you plan on crossing deep water above the bonnet, just buy and install a snorkel which can be found easily on Alibaba or Ebay Australia for reasonable costs. Cheers, Jas

Hey Guys! Thank you for all the support I guess the general consensus is that it just depends on what suits me the best. So the experimentation starts soon! Cheers, Jas

Hey! Its 4 Way Adjustable, so I can control low speed damping and rebound as well as high speed damping and rebound. If you could explain that it would be pretty sick! Would lead me in the correct direction for sure Cheers, Jas

Hey Guys, So I'm trying to understand the concept behind shock tuning. Not to the level where you remove the shimstack from inside the shocks and change it completely, rather about the "tuning" knobs on the coiler suspension itself. Top of the Line Coilovers come with DSC adjusters or Dual Compression Adjusters and I am trying to grasp my head at how you would want to tune the shocks in two scenarios: Road and Desert. 1. High Speed Compression and Rebound 2. Low Speed Compression and Rebound Thanks for the Suggestions in advance! Cheers, Jas

See You Sri! Good to be back. Cheers, Jas

Alllffff Mabrooook Shamil!! All the best with the new level man! Can't wait to have some drives with you soon Cheers, Jas

Hey Guys, Everyone here is always talking about how to drive and the do's and dont's... For me each drive's mood is normally set by the Tunes I'm playing whether it be some wild switches or just a relaxed newbie drive. I thought it'd be a good idea to share some of the songs that we listen to while driving, the language or style doesn't matter as I'm sure there's someone else who is gonna love it too! Here's my Top 5 Tracks: 1. Waqqaberry - BÖ 2. Fast - Juice WRLD 3. Abusadamente - MC Gusta 4. Love You Zindagi - Club Mix 5. Jenaak B Hwaya - Nour Al Zen & Ghazwan Al Fahed What're yours?! Cheers, Jas

How you gonna call this ugly! Probably my go to car to enjoy with the roof down on a road trip from Níce to Monte Carlo a long the coast 😂
