The bumpers on short wheel based cars are more prone to breakage compared to long wheel based cars. Long wheel base cars fare better but the desert terrain is such that sometimes unexpected events happen. It was stock for him and mine too for the first 3, even the Mopar bumper number plate holder broke for me before I lift the car that’s why you see a number plate relocation bracket on my car. My suggestion is to buy an aftermarket rear bumper if you are going for a Mopar look alike bumper. It retains the parking sensors and does not come in contact with the rear tail hook. For front go for mopar, or ensure that the front tow hooks from the original bumper are kept if you are going for the Mopar look alike bumper. AOR makes bumpers that look alike the Mopar bumpers. They are made of aluminium I think and are light and half the cost.

What a wonderful drive we had today. There was minimal radio chatter, helping me meditate during the long spells of radio silence, simply loved it. Everyone drive so well that I forgot I was supposed to be supporting the drive and felt like driving a normal newbie drive. Hardly any refusals or stucks - great showing guys. This drive is perhaps one of the last drives in winter schedule, mercury did scale new highs and it was quite warm by the time we ended. Get ready to be at the meeting point by 6. Alarms must go off at 4 instead of 5. @jeetu sharmaexcellent work as a second lead. @Alfred Alinazar I am sure you had a wonderful drive at the tail end. So much more to do in the sweep, or rather nothing, choice is always yours. Last time I saw you, I was shadow supporting in my wife’s drive. Initially thought you are are fresh newbie, but looked up the profile and realised the number of drives you been to, I salute your simplicity in the drive preparation, not many have the patience as you do. a big thanks to @Frederic for the drive. @Azam V2.0 - you changed your name…. Lucky you, you had first hand experience of how unpredictable sand is, just a few meters to the right of us and you found yourself in on of the most nasty stucks just like that, for no reason at all. @Zulfikhar Naiyar see you tomorrow. @Paolo Morresi, Jeep in UAE bring their worst bumpers here to UAE. While the car is most capable of all- the bumpers are designed to fail. I don’t know if it is deliberate. They have a nice low profile steel bumpers in US, which they sell with Rubicon as standard and optional on other trim levels, but for some reason they only bring the worst bumpers for sand to UAE. I am on my fourth, bumper, so I have gone through the entire process. Even the Mopar steel bumpers fail. I was able to break the number plate bracket even on the metal bumper. My first recommendation for you is to buy some heavy duty zip ties and continue with this plastic bumper as long as possible. Then, when this bumper is a 100% write off for good, there are two options. 1. Somehow get the same bumper and cut the long number plate bit and relocate the number plate or 2. get an AOR metal bumper. Second option is definitely more elegant option, I would personally go for it. The recommended bumper upgrade for Jeep Sport & Sahara is to go for AOR for rear bumper & Mopar for front bumper if you want to install a winch. I did the reverse, I know, I did wrong.

@Haitham Khattab PCR is not needed any more to visit Abu Dhabi, it is only needed to enter into some buildings there such as shopping malls.
