  1. A big thanks @DP1011 what an awesome morning! One of the best drives so far! Here is a pic of our route around one of the bowls we played in.
  2. Hi, is the nearest fuel station the ADNOC in Sweihan? The one without early morning coffee.
  3. Hi @Asif Hussain was a pleasure driving with you for the 1st time on Sunday, I am really keen for DCT. Hope I can make the grade for your team!
  4. @Asif Hussain Thanks for a great morning drive yesterday! Have been to Al Faya a number of times and thought I knew it; however, your route exposed some more of its charms! To the entire convoy, there was a great sense of humor and fun throughout the morning, even when dealing with the few issues along the way!
  5. Hi, the installation shop did the alignment, but I took it to a highly recommended alignment specialist the very next morning as a belt and braces approach. It drove fantastically both off road and on road, and still does. But my OCD has convinced me that it needs another check.
  6. @Emanuel massive congratulations, this is a major achievement on your journey. The club and its members will benefit from your calm attitude and strong sense of safety! All the best.
  7. Hi Luke Used a workshop with proper laser alignment equipment. And one that came recommended by a Pajero specialist workshop. Seemed all OK when I left but on Monday after the Sunday drive as I walked up to the car in the morning my eye caught an angle that did not look right. Have checked the car in different lighting and still get the same difference. Maybe just too much time in construction, always looking for snags! But will get it checked out on Saturday morning.
  8. Hi I have recently fitted a Dobinsons IMS lift kit. I had the alignment done. But have noticed by "eye" that the passenger rear wheel is at a different alignment to the drivers side. I will be taking the car back to the shop to have it checked. But if any of you have an idea of what the alignment settings should be for the Paj after a lift, it would be appreciated. Did an FB+ drive after the alignment was done, so not sure if something moved it out of alignment on the drive or if the two rear wheels were not set up the same way. The alignment shop came recommended and Looper's jeep was in the same shop when I had the alignment done, so hopefully a good one. Thanks
  9. Another drive that lived up to it's name, a lovely fast paced roller-coaster thanks @Simon D! A big thanks to the support team of @Imteeaz and @Benjamin for the advice and working hard with the flat tire and pop out! To @RiadJL and @Mahesh_ great to drive with you guys again, always good! All in a very good Sunday morning!
  10. Thanks @Ale Vallecchi, for a fantastic and at times quite tough drive. All in one of the very best I have been on despite and maybe because of some of the issues I had. Do not think I have learnt so much from a single drive since Newbie stage! Did a lot of reflection on the way home. To @Cha, @Mahmoud Taha & @RiadJL along with @Ale Vallecchi of course, thanks for the amazing teamwork on the drive, especially during the last hour when we had issues reaching an exit. It was a really good growth experience and will not be forgotten in a hurry.
  11. @DP1011 thanks again for a lovely morning in the sand! At the half way stop I was quite pleased that I had not even had a refusal, than bam the worst stuck of the day with a pop out as well! Can never be too comfortable in the dunes. Thanks to all who helped me get out and fixing the pop out. @Julian hope your jeep is ok and @Islam Soliman hope your gmc cooled down enough to get back home. Cheers to all in the convoy and have a great rest of the weekend.
  12. @Ale Vallecchi thanks to you and the entire convoy for one of the best drives of the summer. Everyone drove really well and flowed through the dunes! The get together at the end of the drive for juice at the resort was a great way to get to know fellow members better.
  13. @Marek looks like a great drive, will have to give it a try soon.
  14. @nithish468 congratulations on the upgrade and the new challenges ahead! See you out on the dune soon.
  15. @Zak_ congratulations, enjoy the new challenges, and faster pace. You will love the step up! See you out on the dunes.
  16. @Gaurav have added myself to the waitlist as I may have work interfere with the FB+ drive on Saturday morning. Will confirm a bit later in the week once I am certain. @Gaurav I can confirm that I will attend the drive on Saturday evening.
  17. @Frederic, my apologies I have had to pull out of this drive, have to work on Sat morning. Will do the evening drive instead.
  18. @Gaurav have added myself to the waitlist as I may have work interfere with the FB+ drive on Saturday morning. Will confirm a bit later in the week once I am certain.
  19. Congratulations @J-P L, looking forward to seeing you and your Jimny on some more challenging terrain!
