Hey guys, I'm joining a long weekend trip that is being organised over on the Dubai Offroaders forum. It's a 3-5 day trip that will aim to cross the Wahiba Sands in the East of Oman. Apart from the incredible overlanding experience, it's a good opportunity to promote the OB community and...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to visit a few stores this weekend and research this mundane but important topic further :blush:

Yes, we'll definitely meet you and maybe even join you in Oman :) Let us know when you start to firm up some plans

Are you in Kuwait @3ilnouri? The member map puts you in the US... but man that would be a cool road-trip if you can get through KSA easily

Thanks! I was just looking at these Stratchits this morning. I'll see if I can find a pair and try them out

Are you in our whatsapp group @JPZimbo? There are few numbers without names, but if you aren't PM me your number and I'll add you

This is a question about your rig, not your bedroom activities :openmouth: I've been using ratchet straps on my roofrack to hold things down. They are strong but I'm beginning to hate them. The mechanism gets covered in sand, the straps are easy to twist up and it just makes loading and...

Last night @BenH, myself and a couple of future OB members camped out in the dunes near Al Qudra. Call it the inaugural meeting of the OB UAE chapter :) It was good to make new friends, brai together (aka bbq) and have a few beers to wash the sand away. The campfire talk was meant to be about...

This thread has planted the tiny seed of an idea to ship my car over to the US for this event. Following closely...

I guess the short answer about overheating depends on the reliability and what aftermarket tuning you have on your car. In the summer we are regularly in the desert and mountains in temps in excess of 40C (104F) and have the AC running all the time.

Nice pics Ben. I hoping this Friday isn't quite as foggy!

I'm late finding this thread, but man would I love to run a miniature version of this drawer/rack combination. If only Decked made drawers for smaller trucks! Thanks for sharing!

I love these snow tyre trucks, especially the Patrol rescue vehicle! One day I'm going to make this trip too. Thanks for sharing!

I have 4 roof-mounted PIAA LP550 5" LEDs. They are long distance driving lights that are painfully bright if you get in front of them. I love the look and they come with rally-style plastic grills to offer some (small) amount of protection

I've got two boys aged 5 and 8. We drag them everywhere we go and they don't mind as long as they get to climb on some rocks! When I'm on a new route I run an app called Gaia Pro. It logs the route and has loads of cool offline map overlays. Makes it pretty much impossible to get lost!

We went this way a few weeks ago, made a wrong turn and I'm 99.9% sure we had lunch at the exact same spot you are parked it. It was the first place we found with some tree shade. I even recognise that concrete block next to the bbq that my kids were playing with! We tried to combine Shawka...

This is a nice idea. But... maybe its more helpful to emphasise the companies that we actually recommend? For example, I've used Icon for fabrication, electrical work and general fitting of stuff and I recommend them to everyone I ever talk to :) There are others on that list that I can't be...

Welcome guys. Really pleased to see more of us like-minded folks arriving here!

Hey Will. Welcome to the UAE and to the forum!

Welcome Eben! I'm curious - did you find out about the forum through the Facebook advert or some other source? Same question for you Jordan?
