    Thanks guys i just want to put it out there out of my curiosity. hi @Wrangeld all valid points. i didn't meant that maxtrax is an alternative for rope. i just mentioned it to show the price comparison. @sertac agree the recovery situation in both video are not common in the desert. Also it is not ideal for recovery of crested situations. Thanks @Rahimdad for letting us know its tested and proven not much useful in the desert. i understand maxtrax is not ideal for crested situation or soft sand. but what about a stuck in a ditch or bottom of a bowl.

    Maxtrax is something I see regularly in most of the off-road videos posted in youtube. Looks like its great tool for off-road recoveries, specially in sand. But I didn’t see this tool widely accepted in carnity off-road club. Looking for our members opinion. As per below videos even a knockoff maxtrax work fine and I found some in amazon for about 500 dhs. Which is almost the same price as set of recovery rope set. https://www.amazon.ae/Universal-Recovery-Traction-Tracks-Ladder/dp/B07RTKKXC3/ref=pd_sbs_263_2/260-3929494-4881948?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07RTKKXC3&pd_rd_r=ae1ac005-54b5-4b81-a4b4-a753c7d06bfe&pd_rd_w=06yLB&pd_rd_wg=zxdVu&pf_rd_p=960b8cc3-7122-48e4-be95-f541be86dba3&pf_rd_r=AYB24322QR3XFKWANVE3&refRID=AYB24322QR3XFKWANVE3&th=1

    update - After 2 months wait I could not hold it anymore, watching everyone enjoying the off road drives. long wait was due to the pandemic I was reluctant to let anyone wander in and out of my car. 😷 Anyway got it fixed last weekend and culprit was warn out pulley and alternator. Nothing major inside the engine. Changed 2 pullies and belt almost 75% noise is gone now. Still there is small grinding noise from the alternator, but as per the mechanic its not major thing to worry about. Anyway he will look for used one and I can get it fixed later. Apparently, quotation for new alternator was 3500 bucks 😬. Along with this took care of some other maintenance stuff as well, radiator flush, Gear oil and filter changed, engine oil changed and spark plug changed. So now ready for rumble. 😀

    @Gaurav I’m in Sharjah, please let me know if you know anyone nearby. Thanks

    Hi @Gaurav I checked the ac as well. No difference. Buy the way I opened the radiator cap and spill some coolant. Also radiator cap was changed recently due to leak. Can you recommend a garage to get it checked.

    Hi @Frederic i checked drivebelt Everything looks fine and tight. Fan also moving freely. Don’t see any rubbing issue as well. I think have to take it doctor soon.. hope nothing serious ☹️

    Lately I am hearing a rattling or grinding noise coming from the engine of my 2008 Mitsubishi Nativa. Initially the sound was very little and goes away after 5-10 minutes driving. But now the sound is bit louder and it don’t go away after engines warms up. when im driving for longer Its not constant sound, Sometimes it comes and go away randomly. Below video clip was taken soon after the engine was started. You can hear the sound like grinding. Any advice or recommendation for good experienced mechanic or garage in Sharjah for a decent price.
