@Heisem thanks for the tire advise...but i hate to let go my BF KO2 just purchased it.... the last time in Pink Rock drive we did that approach in the climb 1st and 2nd but was not a success.

But i have recently revisited that place and i was able to climb the same spot. I guess i need have more clock on practice and attend as much drives in carnity for more learning

@Mels Wolf thank you for your advice and suggestion. this would be well noted.

@Vanessa8580  thank you very much. i guess i need to practice and practice. that is why I am hear in this club for learning.

@Srikumar  yeah i understand my tires are heavy on my car. But I love this tires anyways there are still possible things to compensate this issue. Also one thing i learned is to practice. Remember last time we went on the Pink Rock. I was having a problem on that hill climb. I have revisit that place last time and i was successfully climbing it on one go. Probably the key hear is practice and timing.. But still looking to improve the car power to compensate the heavy load of tires.

1. nope I not using but trying to practice still.

2. also figuring out the element of momentum

3. Tire pressure. will check it.. I usually use 12 psi

4. Will try this suggestion next time.

Thanks for the the tip...

@Frederic i have an LWB Pajero 3.5 and done lifts as well with 17 inch rim with KO2 tires. Sometimes I lose a bit power in some high climbs. Any suggestions 

@Rahimdad  any advise for Pajero users on what adjustments needs to be done. Specially with climbing issues? Any suggestions that would help and also don't break the bank. hehehe.

Thank for the reply @Frederic and @Sinol . I do also fixing of this fan as per the thread discussion.

this topic is very informative. So this issue will resolve the A/T Overheating During the drives?

I will also do this for my Pajero since A/T his heating as well on some of the drives.

Do we have to buy some special A/T oils that would help as well.

@Lisa Pemberton Another good shop in al quoz Juggernaut Motors they are doing skid plates and rear plates at a reasonable price and good quality

@Pancho congrats. Keep it up

TRIP REPORT

It was a day of side slopping in the massive play areas that Mahafiz can offer.

As I reached the meeting point at 4:45 AM, there were already 4 cars getting ready for the day's action with the remaining cars trickling in by 5:00 AM. After the briefing, we headed our way into the desert under the guidance of our headlights till the break of dawn. The terrain of Mahafiz is not what it used to be about 8 months ago. With all the cloud seeding in April and May the desert has turned into a Jungle with bushes and plants at every step of the way. This results in a more bouncier ride compared to nearby Tawi Nazwa. But through this bumpy terrain you arrive at some amazing play areas that only Mahafiz can offer. 

@Vineeth John Joseph was performing the duties of second lead for the first time, and he almost nailed it by maintaining adequate distance and rerouting the convoy as needed.

It was good to see @Nitin Mohan back after a long time, and his initial hesitation to push his Prado had all but disappeared as the drive progressed. Though initially doubtful on whether to attempt the side slopping seeing the enthusiasm of the entire group he decided to join the party.

@Ashok chaturvedi impressed with his Pajero and he was a very good sport to try his hand at side slopes in the play area. And ofcourse once he got the taste of it he along with Nitin were queuing up to take turns at the play area. Well done guys.

@RaYan E though you felt your car was a bit under powered today, but for me you provided the real highlight of the day. Your self recovery by listening to the instructions and crawling out of that position was truly beautiful. Offroading offers lots of challenges with hill climbs being a small portion of it and as you gain experience you would realize that having the most powerful car is not everything. 

@Ajiesh George Kannankara your Patrol is not an easy beast to tame, but you manage it well. Keep practicing and you will start to enjoy the black beast even more. 

The wrangler boys @Javier Lucero @Ilya Golubinsky @Edgar @Miguel Ibarbia @Pancho enjoyed the play area the most as they were able to stretch their legs. Some impressive climbs with Javier, Ilya, Edgar and Pancho crossing over the play area dune and going to the other side. Well done guys. 

Finally, a big thanks to both @Tbone and @Janarthan for helping out in recoveries and for getting the convoy moving as smooth as possible. 

Hope you guys enjoyed. See you next weekend on the sand.

Thank you @Srikumar and them of Marshall. Indeed it was a good day and full of fun. Till next time
