  1. Try to sent you a whats app, didn’t arrive. How to contact you?
  2. All respect for the effort, but then I can call all numbers on google maps with more than 4 star reviews.
  3. Thats nice, but do you have experience with them? And what do they charge?
  4. @J J I did a calculation what your recommended cold air tire pressure is, for your tires and car the 35 PSI is the correct pressure. All LT tires should be driven with minimum 35 PSI on the road. Lower than that causes wear and tear on the tire. What I am trying to explain, might not be the reason why you had your puncture, but this is just as information for the future. When we inflate with a compressor after the drive, 2 variables are different compared with the recommended cold tire pressure. 1, the air from the compressor is hot, has a lower density, will shrink in volume when it cools down. 2, your tires are warm from the drive, they will cool down as soon you start driving on the road, due to airflow and less resistance. So what happens when you inflate after the drive to 35 PSI, your tires will automatically go to a lower PSI than 35 and this causes extra wear and tear. Due to your LT tires, you can go easily up to a higher pressure without any risks. I would recommend you to go to 38 PSI and check it the morning after with a pressure gauge how much it went down. This is just to extend the lifetime of your tires. To all other people, this recommendation is only for LT rated tires. Not for P or Metric.
  5. Could somebody advise/ has experience with a good interior car detailing, preferable in Dubai? Mainly for stains in the seats/ carpets and headliner.
  6. Trip Report from my perspective. The trip had not started yet and I was asked to help a stuck Range Rover who went camping with his family. (This was the Omen of the day, a day with refusals and stucks) The Range Rover had a crappy/flingy tow point, I made it clear with the owner that I was willing to help, but on the condition that if there is any damage at my car, that the costs would be on him. He agreed with this and with a gentle tuck I was able to get him out. Please be strong in this, because most of the times these guys are with friends and they all know it better and screaming next to car, YALLA YALLA YALLA. As I said, the first stuck was the omen of the day. Many refusals and stucks, but no shame. Due to the rain last week the terrain was not forgiving. Nevertheless I find that everybody was doing well. @Kalahari gave a good example what you should do if you can't make the criss cross, steer down and make a loop, gain momentum and try again. It should be obvious for the person behind that he should wait, but always announce it on the radio, so that the preceding and follower know what your intentions are. (Kalahari, this is not directed to you, but as a general note to everybody) @Rinelle Sanaani @Tbone , I debriefed you both about this. In general to all drivers, try to think as a group. If the convoy is not moving in front of you and the cars are coming from behind, try to imagine if there will be enough space for them. If space is available, move yourself, if not, please announce it on the radio so they will wait until the convoy is moving again. In these high dunes we often have no vision what is happening in front of us. @Febin Frederic was unfortunate today with a flat tire. I think you cut your sidewall on a bush or stone somewhere. It can happen to everybody. But please first thing you should do, is to find the correct size lug wrench. (we were lucky we had the correct size for you) You have a perfect spare wheel with same tire, not really useful without a lug wrench. So to everybody, check your tools, does your wrench fit on your lug nuts? Don't assume it will! @Kalahari @Najeeb Mohammed @Febin Frederic @Rinelle Sanaani @Tbone You drove all well this morning, I liked what I've seen. Little bit fine tuning, little bit more trust what your car can do, feeling of how much momentum you need, again, it is summer and the terrain is not forgiving. @Colin Jordan @Michael sammy @Brette I think you were all doing well with Colin the least struggling and Brette was left with a chewed up track. Poor black stallion. @EmmanuelThank you for the drive today. @Michael sammy and @Tbone My apologies again for a bit impatient with the stuck of Michael. I was getting hungry and when I am hungry I am not the same Xaf. Due to the heat and time, I did not take time to explain why I wanted that you pull him from the front. To clarify to everyone, it was possible from both sides, 50/50 in my opinion, but due to other cars around and instead of pulling first in reverse and then try again to get over the ridge, it makes more sense to just pull the car out of the shit, instead of dealing with the shit twice. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Xaf
  7. @Emmanuel Could not RVSP earlier due to standby. They confirmed the duty for Saturday so I can join. If not, I understand that. Xaf
  8. I have patience until a certain point!!! Something like this> 😄😁☺️😊🙂🤨🕰🤯 Let them struggle!
  9. Very cool race yesterday, the racing is back.
  10. I agree with you, the Bronco just looks good, let's see how it performs. Time will tell.
  11. https://jalopnik.com/an-extremely-detailed-look-into-the-ford-broncos-engine-1844389830
  12. He was too slow, should have pushed it a bit more! 🤣
  13. 78997 has a bit of value. The boeing 789 > is a version of the 787 - 900, Emirates might get them in the future and pilots will look for these combinations. Porsche 997 Keep it!
  14. I am with you Topgear, this is still a topsport driven by top athletes. Not really interested what the top 2 teams will achieve, most probably Mercedes 1 and Red Bull 2. But very interesting what is happening in the middle. And how will Ferrari save this season? Also strong characters behind the wheel, from a driver that lost his Father and friend and still performed through his career to a guy who is not coming from an elite family and still made it into the sport. This is still an art.
  15. The 2.7 comes only with the 10 speed gearbox. Very curious how that will work in the sand. Maybe 2 very long first gears? I sense a new Omani hack coming.
  16. Morning Wrangled! Congratulations with your promotion, continue with contributing you do, with a sharp tongue, but constructive. See you seen again in the sand!
  17. Goede morgen Jeepie, Congratulations with your promotion, let you be an example for all other drivers; a well balance between skills, interest, talent and communication. See you soon!
  18. Finally some time to write something. Saw my name earlier passing by but due to the hectic I had no time to write something decent. First of all congratulations with your achievement. I have not much to contribute than what already has been said. Haven't seen you in a while and probably this will be rare in the future due to the split drives that are available on a Friday. But at least I have some memes for you! Congratulations Sri.
  19. Mastercraft Courser AXT My review after 10.000km usage: - Compared to H/T tires more noise on the road, acceptable. - Can go easily to 10 psi, didn’t try lower. No issues, hard core off-roading, sliding, wadis, till now no pop-outs/ cracks. - I found them quite heavy compared to my H/T, but my H/T were 285/60 18, the Mastercrafts 285/70 17. I feel difference in performance, need a bit more momentum on dunes. - Same company as coopers, same quality control. Price difference is probably to cover marketing costs for Cooper. - Looks cool
  20. No trip reports, bunch of lazy drivers. @Michael sammy You've missed something, hope to see you soon again.
  21. Thanks all for the recommendations. @desertdude How can he get in touch with you?
  22. I am writing this for a good friend. His wife took the car out without coolant (let the jokes come), it seams that the Head Gasket needs to be replaced. Could you advise a workshop/ garage for us? It's a Landrover LR4 2012 V8 5.0 HSE
