  1. When you get Geo's if you can get LT AT tyre it should give better side wall protection due to the 10 plies, but it is extremely difficult to find even though it is listed on their catalogue. What they offer as standard is AT but not LT. When I tried to find one, the vendor Juma Al Majid had it in their inventory list but physically it was not LT. In the end I went with Arroyo LT AT which has performed well till now.
  2. @Zed I would always prefer a convoy of 5-6 against one with 13-14 cars. Lets keep it that way for AD drives 🤪...
  3. Hi Dr @M.Seidamunfortunarely I will not be able to join tomorrow. Have fun and see you all soon.
  4. Thankyou @Gaurav Sonifor today's challenging as well as exciting drive. Everyone handled the challenge thrown at them brilliantly and it was real fun to be with all familiar faces. The area was an untouched hidden gem and weather was also really good for a summer day. Hope you will revisit this area soon for another exciting drive.
  5. Hi @M.Seidam Doc, I have to leave the event as some urgent work has come up. Hope some one else can take up my spot. thanks
  6. Congrats @Ahmad Shaker I am sure you will enjoy IM drives. 👍

  8. Sorry @JeromeFJ I will not be able to make it tomorrow as I got a meeting in the morning just got it confirmed. Will catch up with you soon.
  9. Thankyou @munkybizness for bringing up this one. We started off-roading more or less at the same time and this might be a good time to consider this subject even though I would like to believe that I fall in to the category of so called 'purists' in terms of mods. I bought my Jeep mainly for off-roading (its not my daily driver), but I got it in stock form and tried to keep it the same. As of now the only thing I have done is 1- 80Amp Amaron battery as @Gaurav mentioned when my old one died. 2- I had my first pop out on my 53rd drive and until then I had kept the HT tyres came with the car when I bought it. Now I have changed to LT/AT tyre but with the stock measures of 245/75/R16. I had a presumption that changing to a bigger tyre will give me more traction but @Frederic advised me to keep it in stock size and I am glad that I did not change the size. Also to be honest I do not feel much of an improvement in performance by changing my HT tyre to AT (It looks great through!). But I feel the following mods are inevitable for me and hopefully can be accommodated in the next year's budget. 1. Head lights: changing the head lights (I have the stock Neon / Yellow ones and it does not even give me enough illumination on road let alone during a night drive. But I want that retro look and still have not managed to find a retro looking bright head light). 2. Suspension: I have stock suspensions/ shocks which gives me real trouble on bumpy climbs as it is very easy to loose momentum. I eventually want to go with a stiffer suspension. Many people have advised me to get a 2" lift along with the suspension (which apparently will improve my ridge riding abilities 😁) but I am still considering only about a stiffer suspension. 3. A roof rack: A Rhino / equal rack may be a good addition if I want to roam around with family during winter. Bonus will be the looks. Really like what @Ranjan Das got now.
  10. Congrats @varunmehndiratta Well done. Hope to join one of your convoys soon. Love your trip posts and briefs😊
  11. Sorry Sri @Srikumar my car is still not sorted- starter motor and differential issue, will have to sit this one out. I will remove myself from the drive.
  12. Thanks @Looper for the write up. It was different and more challenging than some of the other drives which I have been recently. The car is in the garage and hopefully they will get to the bottom of the starting issue. I think it is time to put up the looper sticker which I have kept carefully until now.☺️
