@Ale VallecchiI won't be able to attend due to Family Emergency, Please remove my name from WL.

@Wrangeldmy wife tested positive, I will have to drop from the drive.

Please waitlist me for second drive

Yes, I rarely disable the abs.

@Humayun Ghias it would interfere with the terrain selection modes you have. When you choose sand mode it is actually adjusting your pedal to sand driving.

@Gok Krishi'm not an expert but did you check your coolant and engine oil? Is there any sign of water mixing with oil or did the coolant level decrease? As these are the main sings of a blown head gasket. Also Was it really a white smoke, not greyish or blueish smoke? I have a feeling it is an engine misfiring issue, might be due to faulty ignition coil or a faulty injector...

2 bolts won't take the load. The rear recovery point on my patrol is fixed to 5 bolts for a reason! Some on the side and some on the buttom of the ladder frame.

Sorry off-topic , Seems we work in the same field, which company you work for? I work for NOV

It is safe if it is padded and I guess the driver must wear a helmet. Otherwise might be more dangerous.

Is it an ABS KILL switch? If yes then you should switch it off (abs active) when you want to use your crawling system. As far as I recall, Also the diff lock must be off for crawling to work.

This works perfectly on your facelift model as you have 2 screens, the upper one which i guess only shows the useless nissan map will be used for the android module (off course you can switch anytime to your original display by pressing the back button) and the lower one remain the same untouched. The system, is running android 10, cortex A72 cpu, 4gb ddr4 ram, 32Gb eMMC. I Got a Data sim from etisalat on my same package, and connected it directly to the device using a 4g dongle. The main reason I got it is for using google maps/waze and Gaia gps without the need of an external screen or device. The system will connect to the cars speakers using bluetooth, as if you are connecting your phone to play music, however your phone will remain connected to the car's system directly as well for phone calls. ( In our cars you can have a phone connected to bluetooth for phone calls and another phone connected at the same time for streaming music) Basically what the device doing here is running an android system in parallel to the cars infotaiment system using the same screen, like switching the HDMI SOURCE at your home tV. You can see it and test it on my car if you like anytime you want.

@Rawad

Sure, not a shop as well😂

Thanks @Gauravfor the advice. I have a torque wrench, I will double check that the bolts are torqued properly.

The pintle hook is still installed to the cross member, that plate was just added in between.

Yes Rawad.

Thanks @Danish Mohammadfor the updates, honestly I never thought that noise has something to do with any Plastic, it sounded more like a metal squeak. Thought it was a wheel hub/bearing or a drive shaft issue. Glad you sorted it out and was an easy fix. See you on sand..

Glad it was sorted out @Danish Mohammad, what was the issue?just in case we encountered such thing in future. Hope to see you soon on sand.

@Kailasplease add me to waitlist, will be my 2nd drive.

I would just go to the scrap yards in Sajaa area (Sharjah), you will find 10s of shops selling used parts, I got both my front and rear bumpers from there, spent some time looking between all parts until I found a clean one that doesn't need to be repainted. As far as I remember I got the front at 150 aed and the rear around 300. I usually get any cosmetic item from these yards, for other parts I will stick with the agency. Btw if your car is till under warranty, any mechanical part will be covered by warranty. Sand managed to get behind the buttons on my steering wheel and they are getting stuck sometimes, when I took it to service I told them the same, they were very helpful and ordered a completely new steering wheel and will replace it under warranty, just waiting for it to arrive from Japan.

What kind of parts?

Great drive as usual @Islam Soliman with lots of fun. Its my first time in this area, it is really amazing. Thank you all for the company, it is always a pleasure driving with Carnity members. Have a nice weekend.

@RooRzOntomorrow😃.

I don't think 2 month is considered a long duration that can cause any damage. Best thing to keep your keys with a friend to start it up every few weeks so the battery stays alive, otherwise disconnect the negative terminal. I used to leave my car for 5- 6 weeks and didn't even remove the terminal, it just starts immediately and never faced any issues with the tires.

@Islam Solimani added myself to the drive rsvp
