Hi Guys, I'll be 5 min late

Sorry guys, have to step out. Duty calls, its just busy before Ramadan kicks in 🥲 Enjoy all.

Sorry guys, have to step back from this one, have to report to work on late Sunday. Have a great time in Sweihan all ❤️

Me too, can't RSVP

Thank you so much guys ❤️

I just rechecked my inventory and I am missing a flag 🤐 I know, I shouldn't be asking this but, Is the flag compulsory for this ride? If yes, then, I'll head out to Dragon mart to get one first not sure if they will be open tomorrow given its 1st Jan 😭.

Dear @Ale Vallecchi, Just checking, if the meeting point is correct? I am getting the whole area "Sayh Madhran" as a pin point rather than a specific point.

Dear Team, Unfortunately won't be able to join today, I am down since morning with flu, cold and fever 🤢🥵. I missed it , 😭. Looking forward for pictures, please do share it here for us who where not able to make it. Happy Iftar to all.

Sorry folks, not able to join due to fast. Hence taken out my name so others can join. Enjoy ☺️

Thank you Ale. I will be fasting so currently evaluating currently with wifey if we should come or postpone it to another ride next week or after Ramadan 🤐

Hi Kailas, Just wanted to check, Is having night lights compulsory for the drive? I currently don't have any extra lights installed, just wanted to check for safety 🙂

Hi Guys, Woke up with extreme body pain and fever, hence I would like to withdraw from tommorow' drive, better to take rest and come back with full energy Enjoy all ✌️

Thank you @Zed for this, Let me check if I can locate these to disable the ABS, I did find another video where a cable needs to be removed from the brake fluid reservoir under the hood. If your airbags didn't deploy during your roll over then I guess, nothing to worry now Lol

Confirmed

Thanks Lawrence, I have crossed checked with @Rawad as well regarding the same thing for airbags. He has confirmed to me as well that there is nothing as such for our y62. He did say about ABS like you to unplug it but I have been on 4 rides earlier and didn't had any issues till now with it, maybe because of the newbie level. Still unable to find the fuse for airbag, tried googling it, reading the fuse box still couldn't help find it. As the current y62 members advice that it is not required then I guess I'll leave it like this.

Bump 😊

Hello Everyone, I was not able to join the off-road drive today because I was not able to turnoff the ABS most importantly the Airbag. Can someone please advise what/where is the fuse so I can test it myself at home now by taking it out to see if it works or any other points that I need to take care of. Thank you in advance for everyone support 😊👍 It is y62, GCC specs 2017

Couldn't continue the drive with you all today. Will post the question in forum about ABS and airbag fues.

Confirmed

Hey Mate, Your car looks cool, exactly what I am looking for mine as well. WhatsApp'ng you as well to know more about the bumper and the bash plate. Thanks a million in advance.

Done and agreed, walking away from the car. Thanks Lawrence, this is what exactly ran through my mind and made me think twice. You guys are the best 👍, still keeping a look out for another car preferably an off-road version as advised. Just one question, do we have any trusted mechanic in house where i can take my next car there for him to check? Appreciate all your feedback and comments.

So an update on the car I have found another car, its a 2011 GCC specs with off-road (Diff lock), Surprisingly the guy has purchased the car back in 4th April 2021 and is selling now, the story is that he has got the loan approved from Al Futtaim for an FJ cruiser and hence is selling the xterra. I drove the car it is was smooth with adequate pick and drive, the body had some visible scratches and one right side tail light is slightly broken. The car has 130k KM on the dash and he had recently changed the radiator the complaint was that it was getting heated so the garage guy had changed it, and he said the only one thing which the guy had asked him to change if required was a Thermostat (he said it would cost 75 to change if required) We have agreed for a price of 25k for the car, Hence i am reverting back here to the Pro's if the price is fine? I don't know a single garage guy who i can take the car to for assessing it, my only option is to have it checked at Tasjeel for Comprehensive test, does anyone knows a garage where i can take it to rather than to Tasjeel, i would highly appreciate it. Even if someone can join me in the test drive tomorrow and assess it first hand as i have don't know what system that needs to be checked. There was something I noticed in the front right hand side, the suspension was a different Yellow color one something the rest of the suspensions were stock but the right side had the different suspension i guess. The Tires were Nexen something 2018's is that something that i need replace first thing to something more reliable or they are just fine? The car is registered currently in Sharjah, do i have to take the car to Sharjah first cancel it ? will i be given an export number or have to take a recovery for this job and take the car to Dubai to have it passed there as well. What moment do i hand over the cash to the seller? while he cancels the car or once the car passes in Dubai? the Car chassis number is 5N1AN0N61BC501592 in case someone can share any insights 😎

Thanks Gaurav, for the feedback. Yes, i can definitely wait and see what deals come out have been monitoring dubizzle and other classified for last 4 weeks now, lol. I agree, i need to take it to a mechanic but which one don't know, hence the easy solution for buyers like me is Tasjeel. Is there a trusted garage that anyone can recommend, i also feel the charges for Tasjeel is an overkill 400+😓😥 There are non GCC variant which are offroad versions, is that something i should look into? Or stick with GCC only? I had xterra, pathfinder the old shape one 2006 or 2007 versions or prado 2008 on the table and almost all these fall into my budget of 20+ exception of Toyota where i will have to shell another additional 5 to 6k. Should i reconsider xterra to these models? This car will mainly be offroad toy rather than family car.

Hi everyone, Looks like i have decided finally that i will get an Xterra but don't want to spend much on it, something around the budget of 20K only. So i have shortlisted one car it is a 2008 gcc asking price is 18k, driven to about 198k km till now. There are others as well but the basic options and offroad version is somewhat around 28 or 29k which is too much in my opinion as i am only getting this to fuel my offroad desires 😎 and if i feel i have graduated after a year and need to go next level then whats the worst this car can sell at may be 15k not much of a depreciation left i guess, lol. Is it a good option for me to look at? Is there something that i should be careful about or get it checked from somewhere? This will be my first SUV, I was thinking about taking it to comprehensive check at RTA is that fine?
