I guess you will make this Saturday drive after all Congrats @Gautam Banka!

look for a shop where they allow you to try things on... Many will just have 3 items in stock and let you choose from that, but there are exceptions. I did that and could not be more happy about it (one of few positive moto-experiences here as the shop literally put different tire sizes on rims to let me try before I pulled a trigger)

...second week in a row withdrawing from the drive due to car not being ready, see you next time gents!

may be radical, but have you tried driving without the front sway bar altogether instead? If you don't race in corners and considering you have the stock OE in the rear, you are actually gaining a lot of articulation in the front at little to no downside (again: unless you often consider taking a high-speed ramp off 311 going 130km/h there). With 2.5" lift, swaybar needs to go little to the front and down on my Toyota (solved by spacers), and even with that it works in awkward way if you want to use that extra travel from your longer shocks, so it does not really help much when in the sand.

looks like I need to drop out, parts not here yet and something tells me it wont happen by tomorrow...

thanks @Looper for this scenic drive! sadly, rubber bushings on sway bar gave up on my Yota and sway bar started banging the frame, which made me exit the drive earlier. But damn it was beautiful this morning! Wasn't it? And incredibly cold. But jeep owners are made different, I guess. My clock was showing 49F which, which is the lowest I've ever seen on this car (I have weird gauges, I know, I need to google to find out that 49F means "too cold to drive without a roof"). Damn. Happy Sunday gents!

@Looper, let me know if there are any last minute dropouts on Sat or Sun - happy to join either one (I waitlisted myself to both just in case)

congratulations, well done @Ishak!

@Frederic, you are right, not being a member was the problem here. Thanks! @Luke K P, don't get me started on javascript and cloudflare tunnels... do you have ability to use cursors within in the rich text box when posting something new?

Guys, something weird is happening, as I am able to create a topic in "new drives forum" (dedicated for staff to setup new drives, right?), but there is no button to start new topic under Forums -> General Feed? I can reply to threads under drives forum, but threads like the ones about Oman - are unavailable (no reply box at the bottom). Like here: or here: Am I the only one experiencing this? Or is it by default and these threads are not meant to be commented on? No reply field: No new topic button: Ideas?

It’s worth checking what type of lift you have installed. If the lift is quite extreme (e.g., thicker springs resulting in more than a 2" lift without adjustable arms), it could be causing the issue. Additionally, there might be a spacer on top of the spring mount contributing to the height. If the bolts are outside the range of adjustment, you may need to lower the vehicle (using different springs) to bring it back within the adjustable specifications. Keep in mind that Gen 4 Pajeros generally can’t be lifted beyond 1.8-2" without running into camber challenges - I mentioned that to you in DPH forum yesterday It’s also possible that the shop handling the alignment might not have the necessary experience with lifted vehicles. Some shops primarily deal with stock setups and may rely on standard settings, which could explain why the screen shows values that don’t make sense for your setup. Aligning a lifted vehicle requires time, expertise, and often custom specifications. This process likely can’t be done effectively at a shop charging 100 AED and relying on a “standard” spec sheet for your model (the things that tells the operator what's considered green vs what's not), as indicated in the caption on the screen’s upper-right corner.

that was just a matter of time Congrats!

should we get our jerrycans ready this time?
