    Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Margham - Dubai - 5 June 2022

    in Offroad Drives

    Posted

    A little different than the signature @Hisham Masaad “yalla push” drive today, but fantastic scenery, changing terrain and some very soft patches to challenge us all! Thanks @Hisham Masaad!

    great job to @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler in SL and @Mohamad Anwer looking after everyone from the back!

    Limited number of few refusals and very good self recovery, especially from @salah2u. The perfect balance and combination of throttle and steering.

    as everyone said over the radio at the end, fantastic morning with a really great group of people!

    week off for me next week, so hope to see you all in a couple of weeks time!

  8. 2018 Prado V6 4L vs 2019 Nissan Patrol V6 4L

    in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Forum in UAE

    Posted

    Prado owner here, its been a great car and spends more time off road than on road. The V6 is powerful enough to take the car most places, but i always feel like “a little bit more” would be better. . . . . . I can imagine if the car weighed and extra 500kg (approx difference between patrol and prado) it would not be much fun in the desert.

    Regarding rear difflock, centre difflock has been enough for me in the sand, and in the wadis the traction control is more than adequate to help through some more challenging obstacles.

    bash plate and bumper trim was more than adequate for fewbie level, and some AT tyres made fewbie plus level more enjoyable!

    Hope that helps!

  11. Advice Needed on Lift and Respective Rim Offset

    in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE

    Posted · Edited by Rob S

    Hi Mike,

    See below link to a clever calculator that shows offset changes etc related to your car

    https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/charts/rim-width-range-and-measuring-rim-width-for-tire-size

    I did a fair bit of research (although for Toyota Prado). below is the link to the article, some of which might be of help for you

     

     

    Regarding to wheels, Almost all offroad versions from KMC / Rhino / Method appeared to come in Zero offset (again, when enquiring for Prado. Not sure if this is same for Pajero)

    Hope this helps rather than hinders your decisions haha! 

    PS. I am 100% sure that all cars look better with a wider track haha!!

  16. Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Murqab to Lisaili - Dubai - 07 May 2022

    in Offroad Drives

    Posted

    Fantastic morning in the sands, and I can already see the gallery full of photos! @Daniel Rodas some absolutely amazing snaps!

    Thanks @JeromeFJ for leading us through a good mix of terrains! thanks to @Chaitanya D for ensuring the convoy remained as one from the back and @Looper for support. Well done to @Daniel Rodas for your first SL!

    Few crestings for a few in the convoy, especially in the soft sands, key here is learning what level of power and momentum is required for your vehicle but its all part of the learning. Also a few loops by some of the convoy, but its always better to steer down, loop round and reattempt than getting stuck at what could be awkward angles. I also think some of your cars just wanted to show that they too, can be @Loopers haha! 

    @Jose Thomas don't forget to get your front tow hook checked and maybe considering some additional as advised by @Chaitanya Dwho has good experience of Xterra towpoints! 

    I didn't managed to get videos of everyone on the final sidesloping but have videos of @Imteeaz, @BHANU PRAKASH VISHWANATH, @Suresh Kand @Daniel Rodas you can whatsapp me on 50 318 0363 and I will send across to you. 

    see you all again soon!
