Congratulations @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke! Loving your hand-on approach to fixing things. See you around  

Self installing (if i can work out this question) some side pod lights on the pajero.. and was wondering if anyone here has any good tips on where / which / how holes in the firewall it is appropriate to run switch wire through?

Likely i will go for a lot of overkill and install more and more lights in the future as funds allow... should i just be installing a large multi-core wire through and terminating the ends until i get extra lights/switches as needed?

Hi @L. Petelczyc As @M.Seidam mentioned with metal on metal be cautious of thread issue. Have tried multiple options - one that has worked best is metal mount with a quick release flag holder.. aor flag split type or flexi type has regular issues with thread, small thread cap with heavy flag - I went to off road zone and they had really good flags with long thread pins.
 

Used 2 aor flags in a year (split types) lost threads and have been using off road zone one for more than a year now with quick release has been going good. Again no right answer, soln that worked for me has failed for many. 

ahh maybe the quick release is the way to go! thanks.

Thanks @Frederic @Gaurav @M.Seidam.

Will go for the steel mount. Seems like it comparable price to the suction caps and won't have to think about it again.

Cheers👃

Any better options than the AOR suction flag mount for a removable product??

This aor suction cup survived 3.5 newbie drives before the plastic housing snapped in half.... Using the normal (i assume) aorb two piece flag.

Thankyou for your tips.

Excellent drive thankyou.

Great demo on getting a popped out tyre back on🔥🔥😎😎I added some pictures to the gallery https://carnity.com/gallery/category/1640-newbie-qudra-dubai-11-feb-2023/

Thank-you for the convoy info. See you all tomorrow morning

Thanks @Frederic 
when that 7pm monday fever takes hold its hard to know what i've been clicking on.

super weird. i was on the list with sohini etc... oh well. 
will play the waiting game

@frederic   is there a way on the site to see what calenders you are marked as going in?... just in case next time mashing the keyboard randomly gets me in the wrong drive again? I wasnt sure where to look when it said 'you are already going'

Hmm I was 4th GOING on this drive at 19:01 yesterday and been pushed off the list back into waiting?

Awesome fun drive today! 

Thankyou to everyone guiding 💕💕

I'll put some photos in the gallery.

See you all next time

...and what about bad words ...they normally the only ones which people remember from polish language

By the way ... do you think that Pajero Signiture is OK for taking on dunes ?

I have done no modifications 

Going driving in the dunes is the easiest way to remove the signature bumper.. 😜

mine now lives on the balcony as an offering to the desert gods
edit: i took mine off at a shop luckily.
