    Update: DO Android app is live again.

    iOS is coming soon!

    GREAT Work Hamza, It looks great and I like the idea that it is the same as the website for ease of use when switching in between

    Great effort

    Thanks for the info Hari

    I am on a mission now, been already checking few different options and will be able to get it sorted soon hopefully

    It’s more likely I am gonna end up with the TJM because it’s fully compatible with my car and no need for any mods

    Thanks everyone

    @Hari – It’s 2019 LTZ Z71 Aka as holden trail Blazer in other countries

    @Asim, Thanks, I will check Titan performance as well

    I have been in touch with Radical regarding the skid plate (8 mm) and been looking around and doing some research regarding the lift kit and found couple options such as TJM and also Ironman

    I have been reading reviews about both and seems that the TJM XGS 4000 series fits my vehicle well and provide the needed 2 to 2.5 inches of height +100Kg of extra weight which is all I need

    If anyone tried the TJM XGS, can you please share your thoughts regarding on-road and off-road performance?

    Thanks

    Hi, I want to join as first timer. I bought a radio and air compressor but I couldn’t find a flag pole. I checked the list it says flag pole except first timers so may I join without a flag pole

    The shop at dragon mart doesn’t have them till tomorrow evening but I found it at Ravon and they still have two more (suction cup ones)

    Their location

    MAN Motors 2

    Hope that helps

    (I can’t respond to your question if you need it or no as it is my first ride on Friday as well) 😂

    I have just been told by the official distributor of Motorola in uae that anything above 446 MHZ requires a license and they don’t issue that license for offroading purposes

    Any suggestion?

    Hello everyone

    I have been running around like headless chicken at dragon mart trying to find Motorola GP 338+ but apparently it is banned and most of the shops have only pre programmed walkie talkies with fixed channels and they can’t tell if it is possible to Programme it or no

    Anyone has any clue if Motorola 777 Mt can be programmed? Or even better if ICOM IC V8 because I have 8 already in my office

    I appreciate any quick help because I need it before Friday (Ideally today) to be ready for Friday’s ride
