Hello Fellas! Been in the region for more than a decade and never done a proper offroad desert drive ( What a waste of time! 🤪) But I really want to know from the offroading veterans here ! What do you think is the best desert location in and around Dubai for beginners to do some desert cruising, some dune bashing and a family camping! (Without getting into deep trouble, because I intend to go alone except for camping) Any leads, advice, instructions are deeply greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sam

Hello Fellas! What do you think is the best offroad wheel brand. I am honestly confused and my choice is 20x10 (-18 or -12 offset) off road wheels but choosing a brand and a reliable place to buy in UAE. Any suggestions ? Methods / Black Rhino / Fuel / KMC / Mickey Thomspon or any other? Thanks, Sam

Hello Fellas! Do we have a reliable dealer in UAE for Tires. I could not find any online who deals in Nittos. What is your best choice for tire brand with Longevity Road Noise Off road performance Aggressive Stance Any leads, expert advice, pro tips, kindly help!

Hello Fellas! Have you heard of any legal issues with bead lock, I am coming across multiple articles (online) where they state beadlock tires can void the insurance, there are safety issues for highway use etc. Any thoughts / experience anyone could share. Note: I want to upgrade to a bead lock but this is going to be a daily use + off-roading use. Thanks, Sam

Thank you Luke that’s a very helpful tip

Very helpful with the lift I am planning to do I can only go for 20in wheels and my options are only 35s or 37s, 35 looked too small but your point on tire weight rings a bell. I am going to drive mine every day on Road and Off road every now and then. Road noise, tire life, less burden on knuckles and ride comfort are few points I am looking at in order. Method wheels with bead lock - your experience adds more value to this

Hello Fellas! I have been going in rounds trying to find out the best fitted tyres & wheels for offroading A lot of information are available for different Terrains especially for U.S.A but very less for UAE (desserts & wadis). Are AT tyres ( 35s or 37s) on 20 wheels a good option ? What is the ideal width to consider for desert drives ? Which company offers the best desert tyres ? (Nitto seems never made a landfall in UAE).

That's a very helpful response. but that brings another two questions 1) Does the RTA pass through without questions / issues with mods on the truck ? (Mine is just two years old so I guess from 3rd or 4th year I have to take it to the testing center). 2) Is there a way we could get a pre-approval from RTA for Lifting with bigger tyres and exhausts and some paint job ?

Hello Fellas! Are the after market exhausts (Atak or S type or any of them) and other modifications on the RAM an illegal one to do in UAE ? Do the Cops charge you a fine for any modifications done ? I am at the verge of doing the mods ( exhausts and lift kits ) - should I be worried as a RAM owner ?

Very limited options available for Air Ride lift kit... Rough Country (5in) or BDS (4in)

Hello Fellas! I found this page at the Nick of time! where I was just heading out to make payment to my order for a suspension lift kit and exhausts on my RAM 1500 Limited 2022. Was really wondering if anyone have any experience (good or bad) or thoughts what the lift can benefit or invite trouble. Will this help in desert driving / bashing the dunes Will there be any issue to renew the vehicle / UAE laws on the mods ? I am only 2 years into the warranty and does anyone know that will take a hit too ?
