If you ask me keep your traverse for your regular drive as it is still under warranty. Spend about max 20k AED on a 2nd car for offroading/overland/camping ( used car like Jeep wrangler/Xterra/Pathfinder/FJ - if you find one). Keep all the remaining money safe with you for your other needs

@Rahimdad this was the drive to get full the quickest . Gone in 60 s🚘

Congratulations @Nizam Deen

Super @Vanessa8580.

Congratulations @RohanH

Congratulations @Desert Dweller. Is it new name for Jamy??🤔

Hearty congratulations @Javier M

I still dont understand why people have to be warned with penalty /fine while all this is being done for their own safety and well being! Stay safe all of you 🙏😷

Quite a "fewbie"ish newbie drive at Qudra today morning. Well directed by @Srikumar super supported by @Ale Vallecchi and @sertac. Nice learning doing a few Crest crossing and the difficulty gradually increasing was getting more fun with very few refusals and tugs. It is indeed getting very hot in the desert once it gets over 9am, as we are getting into the peak summer months. Pictures uploaded in gallery

Great tips as usual on this thread from all the experienced people. Kudos. Well we all know the fun part being in the drives for some time, but you all have done more for sure and you know very well what it takes to get out from a difficult situation. That's what matters and probably it gets more serious and comes with more responsibility that you progress in the experience. I am telling this after seeing few difficult situations where we all as a convoy group came out on road well in time . Great learning 👍

I had signed for sweihan which is now changed to Qudra morning. I am already signed in when I check the RSVP, please clarify @Srikumar. Wallah habibi... no vacancies everywhere 🤣😉!

I would like to add my name to the waitlist for this fewbie drive. @Emmanuel please let me know if any vacancy arises. This current global crisis is causing no vacancies everywhere 🤣

Yes @Kalahari it was probably sensible that we got something to drive carefree in desert... Uglier the better and you are more "less" bothered!If you know what I mean:-))😉 I have the AOr suction cup and flag already. But if you can get some bracket , I feel it's more rigid and strong which will not fall off.Suction cup needs some correct technique to apply each time

Probably needs to rearrange location as there is movement restriction into and out of Abu Dhabi region??

Congratulations

Congratulations @Vanessa8580.

@Janarthan and @RohanH you will end up paying more money with dubizzle which you can get it done from an ordinary mechanic.All the running costs of a bigger franchise are included in what is being charged to you. Considering that you are buying a pretty old car without worrying much about the interiors /paint/ luxury inside, every penny saved is worth it. You can as well use the same money saved to get it thoroughly serviced / for parts. You need a good advise regarding the mechanicals which any other garage/mechanic will do for a much cheaper price. Some garage even deduct that money if you get the car serviced from them once you buy it. Personally once you start inspecting the cars on your own, you will also learn a lot if new things which will make you have a better knowledge to do some things in future on your own. If you are worried about the current covid precautions and not willing to take risk ,then yes you can go ahead with dubizzle assisted buying or report as there is someone else doing it for you. But if you adhere to proper precautions, then it is still possible to do it yourself Good luck and stay safe

@Jun Zamora I dont have much info with regards to Jeep but from what I have heard from friends who do regular works at garage suggest Marshall Auto at Umm Ramool or Off Road Zone at Alquoz. ( No conflict of interest here ) Probably with summer getting even hotter as days go by you need to get it sorted for sure. Cheers
