Where is the coordinates for Friday trip?
One other person told me because of Duli’s note above He thought the trip is cancelled.

Fahim do everything Dennis asks for he is just a good fellow
Hi all. This post I sent this am but I cannot see it so this is the second attempt. I like to thank all DO TEAM for my 3 stars. Althought compared to Yohan I should be a 2.75. And I can’t say I won’t disappoint you since I still have to get some bugs out to be a true 3.0 version. As you may know 3 weeks ago one of my wheels broke and I am driving a rental Mazda 3. Al Futtaim really has a problem. After several weeks finally they found the right wheel today. The car is in the shop they promised release on Thursday so then I can see u on Friday. Al Futtaim also keeps finding other things wrong (or right for themselves) to replace. 4 months ago they held my car on a routine oil change and forced me to pay 3500 dhms for water pump and engine seals @. 65000 km!! On 4.0 v6 pride and glory of Toyota on FJ s, Prados, Fortuners and land cruisers
I had no problems, and everyone says the water pump and engine sels don’t go bad at least for 150000 km for water pump and over 300000 miles for engine seals. They are thieves. So my next car will be a jeep, Nissan, or pajero. Heck I even will go for a Russian 4wd jeep before Toyota. God willing I’ll see you on Friday.
Hi Elton, I agree with Ahmed that the Pathfinder is not the best offroad car. Mainly because it needs so many modifications that you are better off buying one the cars Ahmed mentioned. But I am confused is that black modified pathfinder yours?
Now that one with 16 inch wheels with tire locks, and 32 in tires, nice skid plate and a 4 inch lift to accommodate 32 inch tires is a winner if you can get that for 50000 derhams then go for it! 😡
But if your dream is to modify to that level. That suspension for a pathfinder will cost you 5000 Derhams, Tires and wheels will cost you 6000 derhams alone, all those off road lights 3000 Derhams. Bull bar integrating fully skid plate 3000 derhams. And I bet you about 3 days of full time back and forth of your time to the shops to find the parts. :(( Toyota and Jeep parts are much more available than any other 4×4.
So it is not worth it. If you still want a pathfinder then make sure it has the factory “off road package”that comes with a 1.5 inch lift and a rear differential lock and a tuffer skid plate, which is handy. 😕 Do not get a regular Pathfinder. 🙁
The Friday the 8th drive was excellent advance drive with Homayoon and Dunkin as back and front or vice versa. Lots of fun and fast. Thanks to Homayoon and Dunkin :drive:
Thanks for the kind words Humayun & Firoz. I’ll try to make it for sure.

Ahmed, you were great last Friday, but the drive was all learners, newbee and boring, we are leaving for the States on the 4th. May not be able to make the May 2nd drive, but like to.
Will you have an intermediate convoy this Friday or all the same like last Friday in case we can make it?
