Great drive this afternoon through heat and soft sand . Thank you@Ale Vallecchi for the lovely track. Mix of every thing. For me it had been for a while since I stretched my legs 😄. @Kalaharilong time since we drove together I guess last time was in Qudra. The pop out today was fast in happening and in fixing. 😉 . I guess the only stuck today was mine in soft patch thanks @Gok Krishfor the gentle tug , I don’t remember when was the last time someone tugged me out 🤣 . @Islam Soliman you have been always the expert in all the drives I did with you , glad that you were with us today 🙏. @Thomas Varghese I don’t know but from now on wards whenever I see you in any drive I will keep whispering to my X cool down and please don’t hit the 100 degrees🤣 today i didn’t want to look at the dashboard 😎.. thanks for the pictures in advance 🙏. @Rob H probably we didn’t get the chance to catch up this time but definitely I caught the beast roaring from the back cheers bro👍 . @Ahab Shamaa your presence add a special charisma to the drive. Loved catching up after quite a while bless you brother. @Shaz Shah this is the second time in a raw we meet again what a pleasure . Thanks for watching our back today. Flawless . the summer still blowing its heat in doses please take care drive safe and hope to see you all again soon. I enjoyed being among you fine people 🙏 cheers ✌️

This is the trick that every one is forgetting maybe do it or simply unaware of it and what I always try to point it out . 👍

Dear friends Regarding this never ending and quite interesting topic among all off-roaders and from a humble own and other shared experience as well as knowledge from the internet including our lovely and interactive forum allow me please to express how do I understand it : the electronic traction control with all of its evolution since invented came in the first place to assess the drivers on tarmac when the ground is slippery ( rain , snow , gravels .. etc ) especially during turning for smooth and controllable running of the wheels on ground like in AWD system despite its more of fuel consumption which is beyond the scope of my point.having said that here come the coupling of the ABS and traction control where the least resistant ( e.g patch of water under one wheel ) will receive less power than the other three to keep the others spinning and not to slip. Now the situation will be completely different when you are doing a sidy in inclination in a semi curve path on soft sand . In the later all the 4 wheels need to be kept spinning all time . Now if your traction control and ABS is activated and not off the engine will cut off the power via beaks to the least resistant encountering tire and this may lead to lethal fishtailing and eventually roll over at worst scenario. if the vehicle is equipped by the manufacturer for full shut down of the stability control ( which I doubt due to civil disclaimer and safety ) that you can operate from the cockpit then it’s fine . Other wise two choices no third we are left with , either to pull the appropriate fuses or to press the kill switch. And both options has advantages and disadvantages. while for some they have no choice than to pull fuses because there is no other way or because they don’t wana mess with the circuit by inappropriately installing kill switches . On the other hand if the kill switch done correctly by experienced personnel with the particular vehicle then it’s more than fine. Finally in either way the sequence how to operate it is extremely important. car off , keys out from ignition , fuse pull out or kill switch on , key in , ignition, switch on and the reverse sequence in the reverse order . If happens and you plug the fuse in or you press the kill switch off while the ignition is on then here where comes the mess and disorder ( personal experience ) tip : if you get stuck on soft sand try to crawl and wiggle while the all your fuses plugged in or your kill switch is off , it worked with my Xterra , worked with others in Pagero as example and I believe will work with you as well 😉 cheers

Dear @Ale Vallecchi i added my self but I didn’t know about the make up promise . Please feel free to adjust accordingly. 😉

Congrats @Gregory!

@Marwan Haddad congratulations!

Congratulations @Russ👍

Hi @Super Safari Girl camel double cylinder compressor from dragon mart or online is great , quick and good value for money . However no guarantee! I use it since last year. The ARB what @Alexander Alcalamentioned is good , thinking my self to get one as honestly what I have is dying now . BTW I have damn been serious about off-roading from day one 🤣

@Kailas superb drive report loved your tick points . Kudos and hope to drive with you soon pal 👍

Was this observation after replacement of the shocks ? .. I have changed the upper and lower control arms to the stock ones but the front shocks to Offroad shocks ( belstein ) 6 months ago. I was offered a lift kit and stiffer springs too but I didn’t go for it . .. the shocks might be a cause not sure . Didn’t experience such rubbing though !

“ Oh boy let me understand the 4 wheelers then if I live I might think of more “ ... but it’s me 🤣
