Congratulations @sertac wish you best !

@Brette congratulations ! Looking forward to drive with you soon 

Congrats @Najeeb Mohammed!

I would like to add to what @Frederic explained and it’s considered one of the disadvantages of generally non GCC vehicles that they are not fully covered by most reputable insurance companies and off road not covered , possibly due to the risk of being a “ LEMON “ even if apparently looked fine !

Is there a location where the recovery videos can be uploaded? 

 

There is a thread was suggested by @Rahimdad and executed by my self that we can upload all recoveries as one place for easy access and collection 

the greatest of recoveries 

first download to you tube then copy link and paste it 

@Brette 

This is a complete restoration from the scrap graveyard to the most difficult terrain this vehicle would like to be in.👍

Man please don't show me Jeep project cars. You are pushing me to start another one I might not be able to resist if i see a 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9.

Can’t deny it’s temptation 😎

Indeed the JGC is a roaring beast , Ask me about it ,especially the 10 years back models , and still roars till now in , I would say , a delicate fine and sharp way with all of the electronics and sophisticated Data in it .

I agree with @Rahimdad friend about why not , as long as the project within reasonable time frame and budget .

I had to make a tough decision wether to make a project on my existing JGC 2015 and to make it to be Sand “ resistant “ vehicle thorough couple of mods ( ground clearance , High profile tires, spacers suspension related to its trim , under car armor to protect radiator and engine , electronic modifications to kill things you all know ...etc ) and with best hands the coast of all that was approaching a figure near 18000 . Also keep in mind the maintenance which is quite not cheep .So I took a step back and had a second thought. .... eventually I left the luxury for home and got my X with best deal and the parallel projects had almost compatible final price .However with X peace of mind ( personal opinion )
 

cheers 😎🚙👍

Well I can report that it really helped me to set up the mirrors the way it has been mentioned in the video. In my Jeep driver side mirror went all the way out still it did not reach the desired level of setting mentioned in the video, however the new setting greatly helped me in the visibility. After been driven Santa Fe that indicated cars in blind spot, I used to be uncomfortable in the Jeep, and always a bit more anxious. 

All American brand vehicles have always the left side mirror flat and the right curved ( not true image ) , same in my JGC . ... for sure it’s the right way , cause that’s what side mirrors are made for to look into them after you look to the rear one first ( to get the panoramic view ) !

@Rahimdad bro , I Was lucky this time . Last time I missed it at 30 sec ! 
wait list seems to override the original RSVP list soon as well 🤭

@Wrangeld 
Dear Richard

hearty congratulations, smooth Character and desert passionate , looking forward to drive with you once again . 
 

cheers 🌷

Congratulations @Francois Germishuys

@Mehmet Volga congratulations and well done !

Congratulations @Rizwan Waheed .

@Frederic the transmission overheating cause you explained agree with it . When I did my first fewbie two weeks ago I was constantly on D2 and in two or three occasions on D 1 . My X never came over 95 degree on the digital transmission dash reading . How ever for the newbie last Friday I kept it on D always .

OEM xterra rear tow hook

Suppose to be straight and it has bend while recovering. This is extremely dangerous when you do extreme recoveries. 

@Asif Hussain looks like I will edit my X mods summary soon 😄

Summary of mods of my X :

1. bash / skid plate to protect the radiator 

2. High profile A/T tires 

( both done before My very first drive with Carnity )

3 . Finally today I got my ABS kill switch installed and tested

4. Stock tow hooks still in good condition , possibly after a few tug/ pull here and there ... will be needing a replacement later with either fabricated or a genuine good quality ones.
 

last but not the least ( not considered off road specific ) .. Side mirrors Correct adjustment in my all vehicles ( no blind spots ) .

cheers
