Thank you so much @Hisham Masaad!🙏🙏🙏. You’re an amazing lead👋👋👋 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 WELL DONE! (see full line of claps)

I consider this as one of my big achievements since started off-roading.  And you help us made it happen! Amazing pace, tracks, obstacles, dunes climb and sceneries.

Very well drive by the whole team!

I considered this option, requested a few quotes, but in reality it translates into at least $ 100 per month. On the trolley the roof just stood behind the curtain in the main room in my appartment and guests did not even notice that there was something there

You need to make new friends from the warehouse @Ilya😅😅😅

actually my stock front bumper is being stored there FOC. 👍

Congratulations @Bernard Kalaani! You deserved it man.👍

Hey @Reggie Landicho how much is the warehouse charging for it? 

Luckily FOC. The team are good friends of mine.

What I know they charge 50 Dhs per sqm.

To update you guys on the Hard top developments…

✔️Hard top storage is being arranged in a logistics warehouse in DIP

✔️Manpower to remove is also arranged 

✔️Front mesh sunshade from Bezos is ordered

❓Cargo area top cover to be customized by upholstery shop from Naif.  We’ll see…

This thread is now a very thorough guide for shopping

Hi @Reggie Landicho this has been on back of mind then convinced myself I don't have much things and Dubai is a safe place...😂

However I do have the soft mesh that I have installed in my car. I haven't got the one for trunk but is in my list. 

There are good options at reasonable price available at Amazon and very easy to connect. Ofcourse for full flexibility you can add in complete soft top from Bestop or similar available for around 5k. 

Oh yes this is already in my list😃.

Thank you @Ilya, @varunmehndiratta🙏 Appreciate all the inputs.

I think this will do just to cover the cargo area.

Hey @Reggie Landicho reg storage somehow the under mat storage is pretty good in JLU, I fit in most stuff there (rope, shackles, med kit, deflator, guage, Leatherman set etc) other than compressor which for me goes between seats while driving.. not sure you driving 4d or 2d and if there's a diff..

For shovel and extinguisher I have them hanging on the roll cage in trunk using C clamps and extinguisher belt...

Thanks Guys, apologies, my question was not clear about securing gear.  I mean if we remove the hard top, the whole car is basically open. So how do you keep the gears inside secure and don’t get stolen?

Very well said @Looper & @Ilya, you gave me 2 scenarios as based on your experiences. I totally agree to both of you. I think its about the experience and see if it suits me. Though, with window down, dust goes into your mouth is really annoying but nevertheless, I need to feed my curiosity and see from there, plus, its only a weekend car for me.

From storage point, I like the solutions there @Ilya but for me putting it in the house would make wife ballistic, as I've got full acoustic drums and 2 large aquariums🤔.  Storage on my parking space would be a challenge as the building mgt does not allow this.

Are there any garage who would store it for just a season, anyone with any experience on this?

Winter is here and having a Wrangler, I think removing the hard top is the usual practice.

Please advice where do you bring your ride to remove hard top? Cost est?

Where do yo store them?

How do you secure the gears inside your car?

Looking forward for your advice.

Great job @Anish S! We covered a mix of exhilarating technical trails. I regret inviting my friend for a Fewbie drive, he was puking 🤮 for 4 hours.😃. My intention was to hook him up to off-roading. Now, not sure😅😅😅

Very good SL by @Gregoryand Support by @Russ& @Sunil Mathew

Great teamwork by the rest of the team👋👋👋. @AlexM, @Stav, @Santoso Marjuki, @Bernard Kalaani, @Fabien Monleau, @MMansoor & @Nizam Deen

Thanks very much @Salim Akhtar🙏. BTW, changed my profile to my real name instead of my ride😎.

Once again an exciting drive with you leading Doc @M.Seidam. The constant reminders for safety, quick brief and breaks in between were appreciated🙏. I am looking forward for more of your drive leads👍.

To the support team: @JeromeFJ for your tips, and for lending your radio, excellent support from the middle of the convoy with recovery guidance🙏
@Tbone, @TT_Dubai for guide and sweep tasks! It was a pleasure to have you on the drive.

To the rest of the team, very well done for  all your feedback, guidance and overall teamwork. Very nice meeting you all👍👍👍!

until next time…Cheers!

Congratulations @Gregory! Well deserved 💪

I am quite fascinated with the roaring sound of Magnaflow exhaust. And I am looking on the legality to install on my Wrangler. Anyone with the same dual exhaust? Will it pass the RTA test?
