  1. Hi @Ale Vallecchi is it possible to join only the morning session? Can't really spare the afternoon as there is other unavoidable arrangement
  2. yes we have a bond , I used to drive an old Volvo S60, that had engine oil leak, coolant leak, and some tramission issue, I never got dumped on road. Guess I m kinda lucky on this. but truly thanks A lot for waking my car up that time, without your help I would have been going home by siting in recovery truck @Thomas Varghese @Anish S I agree with Thomas, that you should have a battery check-up, the corrosion I had disappeared after I changed the dead battery, and I believe the summer heat more or less contributed on shortening the usable life of the battery, especially those of us who have been driving in desert during the summer time. and I just read that Fred had battery failure as well...
  3. Very enjoyable FB+ drive with @Anish S's favorite spot Lisaili, where we had a bit of everything, technical, long range, night drive and shoveling. Thank you Anish. Good job @S Jacob, I never lost the sight of yours in my mirror, no matter technical or long range, you are very capable. The rest are all familiar friends whom I have been driving with for quite a while, Good to see you all, and thank you being on this drive. @Charbel @Anoop Nair @Pacific @Chris Wing @Sunil Mathew
  4. Not sure why but many Japanese 4x4 cars are sold as 4x2 in US, I have seen 4x2 Xterra, Pathfinder, Tundra, QX56, Armada, 4runner. Maybe more My dad once got an 4x2 American tundra by mistake, and its for export to Africa, luckily the friend over there still accepted. One common for those 4x2 is that they don't have the control nob/lever for 4wd system
  5. It sounds very challenging yet interesting! Let me pass my Absolute newbie night drive first
  6. looking forward to my debut night drive! This relates to my motivation to join a offroad club: A week before my Absolute Newbie, I was with friends in Fossil Rock area, and struggled to find the way out as the sun started to come down, God blessed us that we eventually reached pylon just 10 mins before the complete darkness, but I was totally terrified that we definitly wouldnt make it out of desert in darkness Right after I joined the club, I installed a small 20 inch light bar and replaced with brighter LED fog lights just for my sense of safety. and here I am, to test that if the lighting is sufficent. It looks sexy as decoration on your roof rack @Chinthaka Ruwan
  7. Hi @ayra Shihab, I see that you have no prior experience with Carinty, hence you will need to join the Absolute Newbie drive on Friday morning, if you have prior off experience you can declare to the drive lead during the briefing. The drive on this Friday seems to be full, but leave your comment in the post, and drive lead may still include you if there are drop-outs
  8. Congrats @GauravSoni, New suspension for the new rank, I see 😁
  9. I came from north E16 to Sweihan today, and ADNOC 960 Sweihan is the nearest station, you should refuel it up there, Pajero SWB has a small tank I believe. @Adhir Saxena
  10. I reached home safely 1.5 hrs after being escorted to tarmac, (torturously driving 80km/r on 140 km/r highway ), the issue is more likely to be one of the cylinders not working, transmission seems fine. will have to wait till Sat to find out the true cause. Thank a lot @Wrangeld and @Alex Raptor for the easy way out, and everyone else's patient waiting. Usually jinx works well on me, last time someone wished for shoveling, I ended up shoveling my own car for nearly entire hour. @varunmehndiratta
  11. Hi @Amir Amiri I think yours is a Rebel too? What's your solution to the curtain air bags
  12. I also have 2 inch suspension spacers, with stock arms, the only issue is the wheels alignment that is causing imbalance tire consumption. nothing to the driving experience. Since you are upgrading the shocks, surely you expect to pass the humps with higher speed, then you better change a stronger and longer ones to match the part of shock that the arms will absorb, and fit the alignment requirement.
  13. Get well soon @Vanessa8580, we are missing your drives ☺️
