@Alex Sidorov I have JGC 2019 and I bought this vehicle for the same reasons as Brette has mentioned above. In my excitement I went to Maleha alone without any pre knowledge of dunes and even without deflating tires. i got stuck at first dune however was rescued. Later i joined Carnity and realized this is whole new world. I faced the same issues. I removed only front lower facia but was not aware of any fuse options at all. During my 3rd ride with Carnity while doing one arch maneuver i crossed two hidden humps with speed and as a result all inner fender lining rolled with wheel and fell down. Rear pumper was damaged but not fully broken and later while driving on road noticed a bent in excel as it was noisy while full right steering. My JGC is still under warranty therefore I went to Agency for repairs. Agency refused to fix these things without police report and was giving me estimate of 3500 AED. I know someone in Jeep Garage who told to fix it outside if do not want police report. After a little research I managed to fix these only in 700 AED. I bought genuine fender lining from Sajja scrap car market and fixed outside garage. Lesson Learnt!! This is Jeep luxury segment for 4×4 and it is an excellent vehicle for tarmac with all technology. It does a pretty nice job on sand as well in sand mode only if you are crossing some simple dunes but as you go advance in your ride this is not good as others like Jeep Wrangler or FJ etc. Secondly some mod available to lift the vehicle and kill switches etc. But again its everyone's personal choice and money matter. One should consider all risk associated with off-roading before taking expensive vehicles in sand. I decided to keep low for now and look for cheap options before it cost me a arm or leg😄

@Rahimdad, what an amazing trip report and story telling. It was my first ride with you and it was a wonderfull experience. Had amazing time there though i decided to leave early. Thanks for advise for car. Thank God those plastic parts were not of my JGC, only bottom splash gurde and the fender lining was came out of clips and was torn down from different places so could not refix. However, I managed to source very goodone from Sajja car scrap market for 300 AED and got it fixed. Hopefully see you very soon inshaAllah.
