Wow this is so cool, thanks @Frederic glad I joined your drive after office hours 😁 Actually I don't know much about offroad cars, my computer science background makes it simple binary: you can either break them or drive them 😂

Key Moments: Part 1 Minutes 2:16 and 9:35 , Part 2 Minutes 2:14 and 9:10 @Looper where is the tall dune climb towards the end? Memory full / battery run-outs? 😄

@M.Seidam @DP1011 i have updated my signature to reflect my Decision Process: For now, simple: only LC has the night lights 😂

no 4-6pm is my Siesta time aka evening sleeping 😂

@Frederic you gotta repeat this but maybe 9pm meeting time instead of 6pm 😅

I like your calm & composed handling of the senior LC 76 👍🏻, treating it as a precious gem being navigated through a fun journey to reach the rewarding exit 🏆 . I'm still at the euphoria phase after getting my LC 100 back, especially with the Unichip and open cone air filter removed, so at times I push too much on the throttle worrying I don't have enough speed when in fact i have enough 😂 Great driving together, until next time, fellow LandCruiser 🫡

first wait until you have confirmation Insurance will cover 100% of all repairs. Once confirmed, browse Facebook Marketplace, Telegram Buy & Sell Offroad Cars, etc.. you will see ads like 8,000dhs Cherokee, 10,000dhs PathFinder, 15,000dhs Jeeps. Buy it since you need a weekend car anyways, then sell it again when it's winter and once you get your Gladiator back 😊

don't want to be a bad-news bearer, but it took Nissan 3 months to fix my Y62 after rollover, and that is with constant whats-app-ing the supervisor every week on the progress 🥲. Their reason was the roof had to be ordered from Japan and sent via sea as some parts cannot be air-shipped... but I'm not convinced 💁‍♂️

@Looper don't forget to charge Insta360 +bring extra batteries and memory cards 😄 This will look epic on video 👍

Steering gearbox or Steering Rack or Rack & Pinion is expensive. I'll copy-paste original Mopar parts in US$, it might be slightly cheaper in the UAE, but for American cars not so much price difference: 6. Steering gearbox: US$ 364 3. Main Battery $291 + Aux Battery $162 15. The gasket covers are cheap as they are gaskets, but the labour to replace them might go between 300-500 dirhams depending on garage:

Actually best practice is to go to manual car wash after every last drive of the day (so if you drive both Saturday & Sunday you should wash the underbody Sat night & Sun night). I asked my mechanic why I had to replace 2 steering pumps within 6 months and 1 steering rack within a year and he said both parts were cemented with hard-dried-sand and told me I must have forgotten to wash the underchassis for a long time 😂

squeaking is mostly bushings, not related to the shocks... though the top part and lower part have eyelet bushings to bolt onto the frames. If your shock bushings are metal, use PTFE spray to lubricate the top & bottom eyelets first before going back to the installer. Another source of squeaking is Upper Control Arm balljoints, this is easy to check by lifting the car up and slowly lowering it down. Or in absence of high jacks / lift machine, by standing on the front bumper and bouncing it up & down 😂

Well Done @GauravSoni , with a Total Ascent of 520 meters and Max Elevation of 300 meters, for sure you have created one of the most exhilarating track for an Intermediate that starts from As-Saad nearby 👮‍♂️ police station and ends in An-Nabbagh 🐪 camel race track nearby Paratta Street cafe 😜 I'm amazed what you've pushed your 3.8L Pajero through, truly a testament that the right driver knows the strategies to get through the terrains he has experienced 👍 For those Intermediaters who want to re-live the experience, save this coordinate: 24.29542, 55.59138 That is the coordinate for the highest dune we climbed at 277m @Vaibhav sorry about your Jeep, you can tell Trading Enterprise (or Western Motors) that the Error Code it was throwing was Transmission Error P0776 that triggered Limp Mode P2110 and P2118. You can save the article below to reset your Electronic Throttle Body to get out of Limp Mode next time. But it seems you have Transmission issue, solve it in the order: 1) If under warranty ask for Transmission Replacement, the whole gearbox + valve body 2) If dealer refuses, ask them for Transmission Fluid Flush and check Trans Pan for metal shavings. If got metal shavings, ask for a free Transmission Rebuild. 3) If no metal shavings, ask to replace all Solenoids in the Valve Body 4) While they have the gearbox down, tell dealer to check wiring harness from Computer to Transmission, since since P0776 High could also mean wiring issue. @DP1011 do you have the 8-speed or the 5-speed bro? If 8-speed try driving in 4L-5th gear and if 5-speed try driving in 4L-3rd gear. Since you didn't re-gear, you now have to shift down to get more torque than the stock setting. We should sneak into a Newbie or Fewbie drive to play with the gearing and find your sweet spot bro 😁 @Looper great Second Leading, nevermind the joke Second Looping, don't take offence from these brutal Intermediate barbars 😄 It's never easy especially if your Marshal is going fast then slow-down, or hasn't decided to take left or right 😁 Eventually without you, that first car wouldn't have been winched back on track 😂 @Gertjan @Jaro Tuzinsky @Chris Wing the FJ Amigos. Chris is finally proving that the Black FJ is so much better than the Beige FJ 😜 Gertjan and Jaro are now A-TRAC masters whenever their FJs get stuck 👍 Prado Brothers @Waqas Parvez @ASAD. great driving as usual, always enjoyed your creative multiple tries whenever we found a play area 👍 Waiting for your Instagram videos on these... @Benjamin Not bad for a 3rd Intermediate drive, am sure you're getting the hang of it. No refusal with that Jeep and watching you play Catch-me-if-you-Can with the Yellow Looper and 2 Prados means you have mastered to be one with your machine and learning to enjoy higher-level drives 👍 Finally my Sweeper Brother @Mario Cornejo , that complete headers to exhaust system just screams beautifully in every climb-to-the-highest-dune moments. Man, I wish I'd bring the Insta360 to record your actions... oh well, that means I should join your drive again next time 😁 Until next time folks, that was a great convoy indeed.

On a recent drive, our friend's Jeep went into Limp Mode with these OBD error codes: We will talk about P2110 which basically means certain conditions have told the Computer (ECU/ECM) to tell the Electronic Throttle Body to go into Limp Mode (reduced RPM and restricted gearing). In the above scenario, P0776 is probably the condition that triggered the Computer, but it could be other conditions. Anyways, when a Jeep goes into Limp Mode, you will notice that Zeus has thrown the bolt at you: Jeep has these "hidden pedal dances" , the famous one is when you get Oil Service Light and you can tell the computer to forget about it and remind me 5000kms later. The Jeep Pedal Dance to tell the Electronic Throttle Body to "mind your own business, I need to go home (or garage) is: 1. Insert key to ON but DON'T START ENGINE. 2. WAIT 10 seconds for some warning lights to disappear. Check Engine Light (CEL) may remain, and that's fine. I'm talking about other lights like Battery light etc. 3. SLOWLY PRESS gas pedal within 10 seconds all the way down to the floor. 4. SLOWLY RELEASE gas pedal within 10 seconds all the way up. 4. Turn key to OFF position 5. Now turn key to ON and START ENGINE. 6. Test if Throttle Body is not in Limp Mode by pressing gas pedal. 6. Repeat if Bolt Check Light still on.
