Try using 2 pipelines to inflate 2 tires each. I believe I have seen 2 out going pipelines from this compressor to inflate so that you take advantage of the 4 cylinders all at once rather than using it as a double cylinder compressor by using only a single pipe line. 

or put a T joint and take force of all 4 cylinders to inflate 1 tyre in 30 sec. 😎

I had maximum fun with very exiting team. Thanks guys for fun filled drive. 

Couple of dashcam videos from me

@Gaurav, @Ilya @Christian Andras @Ahab Shamaa @Mario Cornejo @varunmehndiratta

last time SEHA in sharjah screwed me. i got my result after 36 hours. and i missed the drive. 

This time i went again to SEHA and got the result just under 24 hours. Looks like sharjah facility is inefficient and delay in processing. 

BTW getting appointment is easy i got same day evening slot.

Thanks carnitys for sahring your experiences, passion & love about off-road and Xterra. I‘ve seen that car many times in office parking and on road never noticed untill @Gauravmentioned. I immediately check out 20K xterras in facebook and found very good and off-road ready vehicles. I fell in love with Xterra since last week. I’m sure that’s going to be my off-road vehicle. But I’m still not yet decided about my family car. I don’t drive much to office. It’s only for weekends outing & road trips. Looking for 7 seater. I have 6 yrs old &  1.5yr old kids. Appreciate your suggestions. If I buy emotionally I would go for Range Rover discovery sport. If economical purchase then I would go for Prado. But still if you guys suggest some nice 7 seater with 4X4 or AWD SUV/crossover/wagons etc. I really appreciate your time and suggestions.  My budget is 80K for on road and off road vehicles.

I think the next best contender is 3.8 Pajero and after that Montero sport both available in 7 seat. 

for 80K budget you can get much never models maybe 2018+ with very low mileage.

Of course Xterra is a powerful car. Ask Xterra owners in the club @Chaitanya D, @Asif Hussain, @Foxtrot Oscar, @M.Seidam, @Tbone, @Rizwanm2, @Shaaz Sha, @Charbel, @Xavier Treasurer, @Joji varghese, @Kalahari. I don't do any preparations which I go for the drives with club - all the off road gear is already in the boot plus there is enough space to take anything else I require. Just check the fluids, deflate, put up the flag and I'm offroading 

@Immortal Cannot agree any less to what is said here.

  Xterra is serious hardcore offroader but doesn't mean its not good daily driver like other serious offroad cars.  I own my xterra for about 18 months now. Bought it as second car for offroad only. But now i hardly drive my other car. 

I agree that prado is very good choise for family use, offroad and for daily drive aswell. But with 70k budget your probably gona end up with high mileage 2010-2013 model. Instead if u decide for xterra you might probably spend max 50-55k for 2014-15 good condition car. Still you will have some spare cash to spend on mods if you wish or some camping gears. 

The major compromise would be xterra is 5 seater instead of 7 seat in prado. And 80l fuel tank in xterra instead of generous 150l in prado. Other than that everything else is almost similar for both cars even offroad performance.  

Sorry for stirring your thoughts, but this is my 2 cents opinion. 

Happy car hunting.😊

Congrats @Looper... 👍🏽

Welcome to the team

Dear @Waqar Sarwar, looks you wait for the WhatsApp notification and you take it from there. This is causing a delay to reach to the drive post. I will tell you what I used to do:

- 1st, I had a weekly reminder 10 minutes before the drives posts, to make sure I have enough time to clear things and set waiting

- 1 or two minutes will visit the web site, stretch my finger and keep refreshing the web site. You need of course high speed Internet connection, that’s why better to use 5G mobile connection

- As soon as the drives are posted will select the drive I need and select going. 👍

Good old days...  😂🤣😂 

Me too did the same thing on every sunday. 

Congratulations @Jona 👏

congratulations @Tareq Al Turq👏

congratulations @Quresh Pajero. 👏

@Gaurav Bhai,

Installed today Skid plate along with radiator protective bracket. 10mm

Compressor, flag, Tyre pressure gauge and other essential stuff will get it tomorrow. 

Very Important for all X-Terra owners from 2006-2015 2gen. must install the skid plate with bracket because X-Terra having the radiator at the nose, just behind the bumper. suppose if you going down on steep dune and found just 20 Degree angle or sudden pocket to clip on then your front bumper and radiator may get damage badly. The skid plate and radiator bracket will protect you from this situation and you can bash the dune perfectly without the stuck.

also if you have mud flaps remove it.  that will be first thing you will lose in desert in case if you get stuck. 

btw i have same skid plate and it served me well. during last 1.5 years.
