manums Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I see a lot of wranglers with lots of modifications. Is that all really approved by RTA? Do we have to face any issues when we go for the next testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 This is very interesting question, and I will try to be specific as much as I can on what is allowed and what is not. Still people do "not allowed " stuff and reverse it on the day of passing. Allowed: Lift kit (2-4 Inch) Air filters Roof rack Snorkel Mild exhaust Fancy head lights or LED Day lights Winch Tire spacers Fiber body kit Tire fenders Not Allowed: Loud exhaust Loud headers Full metal bumper LED flood light on top Sticker job (small or big) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahimdad Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks @ethan, that is very helpful and a great question by @manums. Just to be very clear, RTA in Dubai might allow air filters and mild exhaust, but come to Sharjah and if the Sharjah Police feels that there are any mods thay would stop you and ask you to lift your hood for inspection. This is commonly seen on the Maliha/Kalba road. Some of the cars are stopped by default, Jeep Wranglers and Nissan Patrol are common to be stopped by Sharjah Police. If they find any modification you better hope and pray that they are in a good mood and leave you with a warning to change only. If they are not in such a good mood, or you piss them off the car can be confiscated for a month and pay heavy fines to get your vehicle back.

manums Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks a lot @ethan it was really specific and helpful. Even my friend said that his vehicle didn't pass because of the air filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 What I meant guys is the replacement filter in box you can change to K&N or any other performance filter, but fixing separate cone filter will invite trouble from the first look of engine bay.
