Good morning Team, im sorry i must sit this one out. Enjoy the drive.

Hi Ale, Yes I will come, can we have the meeting point so we can plan accordingly. Thank you

Get well soon

Yesterday’s drive was amazing. Thank you @Davie Smooth_Operator @Mark B @Gary F and to everyone who came.

Thank you, do we know the meeting point?

Hi Guys, just want to update you all on this discussion. Long story short, i got the Geolandars, been to 1 newbie and 1 fewbie drive with them and its been a game changer. On the newbie drive i went to 10.5 psi and last weekend went down to 10.0. I had the air intake of the engine cleaned too. I also learned to use my compressor to clean my air filter before every drive. You can physically see the sand being pushed out, i think this helps the engine breathe. I bought catalytic cleaner, the one you put in the gas tank, usually i think these things are more gimmick, but it had 4k reviews on amazon with 4.6 stars so I thought what thr heck! One last thing i do is use 98 fuel, im sure this helps too. open to suggestions thank you

Thank you for your leadership 😊 Thank you 🙏 Thank you looking forward to hit Will do thank you

Thanks Gaurav and team. Looking forward to the new challenges!

Great drive thank you @M.Seidam @Mahesh_ @ChrisW @Andrew John Melvill @topgear

Hi Team, I will not be able to join tonight as I had to get a plane ticket for 3 am Saturday morning. I think its cutting it too close. Will see you soon I hope

Awesome drive. Thanks to the leadership for a smooth drive and great to see everyone else.

@M.Seidam Yes I will be happy to join. Confirmed.

Yes, I came at 7:01 and got waitlisted

My bad, thanks for recommending the same thing, makes life easier. Size should be just what manufacturer recommends? @Luke K P @Frederic

It has 210k on it now. Thanks for the advice. I am looking forward to seeing other 3.5 Pajeros but mostly on the fours drives I went I saw 3.8 and LWB. I will start looking for HT tires. Will take any advice on size and model which team may recommend. I think one of the reasons i had to attempt twice last drive on a dune was I was worried when obtaining momentum the front of my car would hit the ground hard before climbing up. Hence why I'm getting the front skid plate to reduce damaging components down under and not have to worry about that. I kept imagining my radiator hitting the ground

@EmanuelThank you for the reassurance. Yes I started with Tiptronic last two drives, I'm not sure if its good practice to go to second gear and then back to first when needed. Because if I don't go to second gear my speed (momentum) doesn't grow, if I go to second, after a bit of travel I have less power, so I got to go back to first. Is this ok to do for the car? If yes i think i need to learn when to bring it down to first gear so its not too late to lose momentum and its not too early to get a high rev. I only had the rear skid plate and am getting the front one installed today, besides these two I added a fan as suggested by the team and I think my next move with be AT tires. Will gladly take any recommendation on size and models if you have. Thank you.

Thanks @Andrew John Melvill Car is getting fuel injectors cleaned right. One of the reasons I want to keep this car is the previous owner gave me all service records since March 2023 and all majors are done. I wanted to get new spark plugs but they were changed 16,000km (6 months) ago. And I saw the air filter was a bit grey so had that changed too. Throttle control, Ill need to focus on. I read on a Facebook group that they install Throttle booster for 250 aed, Im not sure if I want to get into that yet, did you need to install one of those or heard about it? I want to learn as much as I can with stock car. My front and rear tires are different brand/pattern and not old enough to be changed; however, since they are HT I think my next upgrade should be AT Tires since I was suggested by @Frederic above not to go under 13 psi, I had an eye on my steering last drive when i went to 13.5 to make sure I don't steer aggressively. So tomorrow I'll go down to 13 and keep my focus on throttle and steering. I grew up in Canada and outdoor fun was in snow so driving in the sand is a new fun which Im experiencing and to be honest the time I drive just takes my head out of this world and for those few hours I feel like a kid. So rest assured the enjoyment I have it covered! Thanks to all of you and Carnity team.

Thanks @Gaurav @Frederic @Mike M. I definitely have more learning to do. Specially about the lines. I kind of see the lines like snowboarding. I like to drive on un touched/un driven sand. Am I to drive on the tracks of others? This I dont know. I drove at 14 psi the first two times. Last time I went down to 13.5. should i keep going down .5 each run till I hit 11? Ive been driving on tiptronic when climbing and D when we are cruising. The previous owner gave me pretty good paper work and introduced me to his mechanic which knows the car for the last 4 years. Ill get new fluids, i agree on spark plugs and new air filter. I also got a quote for cleaning the cat converter. Good idea? I feel the car doesn't breathe and exactly like mentioned feels sluggish. Starts pretty tough, but just gives up near the end of the run/climb. Ive decided to keep her and master driving it. Thanks guys.

Thanks for this topic. I recently purchased a 2015 SWB 3.5L. Was loving it for the first 3 drives until last weekends drive. On two occasions both hill climbs I felt very under powered. Coach telling me gas gas gas, and I had not taken foot off of gas. Im now evaluating selling this and buying a 3.8 or if I should modify this one because I think I bought a nice clean one. ive just installed the extra fan, rear plate and flag holder which I can replace onto a new one if I buy. But I need to make this decision because this week I wanted to buy the front plate, install the ABS kill switch and trim the front bumper. I thought buying KN air filter and cleaning the cat converter, possibly better spark plugs would help, but I read here KN filter is not a good idea for sand. So here is my question: is there a huge difference between 3.5 and 3.8? Enough to sell and buy another one? Or am I still a Newbie and with better technique i can make up for the power? Thank you

I have changed my car to a 2015 Pajero SWB White. I updated my profile now as well.
