  1. Super fun drive and evening. We started off spotting camels close by the starting point before Freddy and his crocodile guided us eastwards past our future camp site and towards the rolling dunes in this area. We spotted a small herd of gazelle and in the distance a couple of oryx. As we entered one of the sabhkas we found some groups taking their falcons out for a picnic in the desert. 😅 We stoped for a nice extended break with some hot tea while the younger passengers (and young at heart) played on the steep dune with the sled while others got some.good photos of the caravan of camels passing by. We had a couple of last minute refusals and got to watch the sun slip away for a final last push in the dark. Great fun all around! I'll drop some photos in the drive gallery! https://carnity.com/gallery/category/2209-all-level-scenic-solar-park-dubai-25-jan-2025/ We covered around 55km! Thanks and see you in the next one!
  2. Ford ranger raptor. Ultra capable in desert, comfortable on road, great power to weight ratio, and no mods required. Big tray at the back for camping gear if you want to camp. I went and test drove about 10 different vehicles across all price ranges,.. put together a spreadsheet of spec, price, driving experience, warranty etc Check and details like clearance, angles at front and back, tyres, wheels, suspension, power to weight. Feed it to chat gpt for analysis, Then go buy the ranger raptor 😎
  3. hi @Pats at 0mm offset without any lift.. you will get rubbing of your tyres on the wheel arches when the suspension is under compression. when suspension under compression and turning.. you will be rubbing the fender and wheel arches. On my pajero.. this resulted in cracked fender plastic trim pieces, and the front wheel well liners getting torn completely out exposing the wiring harnesses etc which run through the inside of the steel fender. you could look for a method wheel that has higher offset, as close as possible to your factory offset to avoid rubbing. Or get the stock 17' rims and mount the R17 tyres on it.
