Couldn’t agree with @Mark B more. Great lead @Hisham Masaad, great pace, great location and on time like a Swiss watch. Just put up some photos in the gallery

@Hisham MasaadIf you'd count many tickets in multiple emirates then please confirm my attendance

I would approach it from the angle of whether you want a great car out of the box and leave it be or if you want to play with it, make modifications and customize it. Some cars are easier to modify then others based on supplier availability so if it is the later stick towards a car that is popular in the region with many options. Everyone has their own driving style so whether you want solid axle, IFS, etc will be dictated on your own personal preference. At the end of the day if you can’t decide just buy a Nissan Patrol and you’ll never look back 😜

It moves a lot better and it’s performance is stronger now that the Paj has the DNA of a Y61 but you knew I was going to say that 😜.

Looks like a great trip and I’m sure the Patrol did it with ease @Frederic

Atul, depending on what you plan to use the roof rack for you have different options. Should you plan to carry serious weight then look at the backbone style roof racks provided by Rhino roof rack and Front Runner (see photos below). They spread the weight over a greater area and attach using the standard roof holes as well as having a higher load rating. If you are getting serious about off roaring make sure you look at the Offroad load rating from these manufacturers as it is different to the onroad load rating. You can also purchase similar designs which are copies from many of the 4x4 fab shops in Dubai which are cheaper but they may not be rated to the same weights as the official manufacturers. The backbone style roof racks tend to be quieter then the standard racks (depending on how you fit them) and you can also attach a wind deflector to reduce noise if need be

You’re too kind @DP1011. Loved the pace and terrain and can’t wait to the next one. I’ll just wait for my early promotion to intermediate level 😜.
