    Congratulations @Salarios . How much did it cost for this change and any suggestions where to get it done? Does it interfere with the Hydraulic suspensions on the patrol ? Let know how do you feel the change with these new set of tyres on road and in desert. They look great .

    @Salarios that body kit looks nice , but I am just wondering if the front over hang is still there which will hit the sand and break. The one done locally is much better because there is no over hang with curved edges which prevents bumping into sand especially while getting down steep dunes.In worse situation even if it breaks one is not losing 10K AED :-)) I got mine changed for around 1200 AED including a aluminium skid plate and installation at Sharjah (pic below). Decent job not 100% perfect, but worked well so far. Contact person Mr Mohammed 0508864047, at a workshop in Al Nahda Sharjah.( sorry i forgot the name). They literally had bumpers of all sizes and shapes for all cars and can fabricate one as per your suggestions See you soon in the desert

    Sorry but can I add something, as a newbie it's too early for me to make suggestions!:-)) When new drivers sign up and are asked about which car they drive, tow hooks and prior off road experience , along with this it would be better to provide them the exact thread advising on what is needed as a newcomer. Just to make it point they read it and be aware because sometimes they may read other discussions/threads on carnity which are of interest.

    Yes that's why we want to learn the correct methods of desert driving from you all Additionally it is useful in case if someone has a medical emergency

    @Frederic totally agree with you on "starting a hobby is not a cheap thing". I am already being taken to task at home for spending on all the off road stuff. Some of which I had to hide from my better half . :-))

    @Nayan ShenaiI ordered baofeng uv 5r from amazon .( along with some other items I needed which were not available on amazon ae)Link below, and they ship to Dubai. Very minimal price difference I think https://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-UV-5R-Dual-Radio-Black/dp/B007H4VT7A/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=baofeng+uv5r&qid=1583216501&sr=8-3

    Thanks @Nayan Shenai but sorry I already ordered for myself from Amazon (probably a bit cheaper).

    Hi @Jorge Stepniak Felippe. For flag you have to buy the detachable AOR one (around 350 AED including the suction cup) or go for some garage to fix a socket and use a fishing rod for the flag . I checked and went in for the AOR because it is detachable , good quality and you dont have to do anything with the body. Available on amazon and at Ramy automotive Best wishes
