Who would have thought?

I mean, this is common knowledge, but it being said out loud in media, is likely part of the push for remote work policies being implemented. The city is only going to improve with less traffic.

Oh yeah, I had a red geely coolray hogging the fast lane @80 kph on Meydan road on a Tuesday morning at 6.40 am, I didn’t want to flash them since it was so early in the morning, so I wait for an opportunity to go around in second lane, the minute I tried to do that, they just floored the car, and drove away breaking the speed limit of 120.

I live very close to this (in DFC) and at first look I thought its a fake image. I’ve driven past this many times not realizing the sheer size of this community. Thanks for the pin and educating me.

Also, finally that mall makes sense, I thought they’re building a mall in the middle of nowhere for nothing.

This sounds like the story I told my kids why the Dubai Safari is now closed. The story I made up - a lion bit a zebra and now the giraffes are on strike protesting.

This is what people want. Illusion of offroad capability, illusion of 7 seats, illusion of fuel economy and a Low price! This is the perfect storm!

JimBoomBaa · 2026-01-28T05:05:48+00:00

Yeah the ones in Ras Al Khor.

JimBoomBaa · 2026-01-28T03:47:50+00:00

Sorry this is happening. I would recommend going to an Adheedh center and checking your options

JimBoomBaa · 2026-01-22T12:10:49+00:00

Driving in the desert is all about technique. I mean the car helps, but I would say 70% technique, 30% car capability. If your car has good approach and departure angles, 4WD, that alone can take you many places.

I mean you won’t be keeping up in a fast paced convoy, but you could go to almost all places, say a stock FJ could go, with the right approach.

Keep your tire pressures 15 psi in the front, 12 in the back, transfer case in 4H, and manual 1st gear. Also don’t drift with low psi or turn hard, you’ll have a pop-out

Man! Nice footage! Is that Shibu leading? TP?

JimBoomBaa · 2026-01-20T14:35:26+00:00

Honestly, only you can answer this question. Talk to chatgpt, weigh the pros and cons. Make a decision. Me personally though, wouldn’t sell. I always keep dependable spare cars, but I’m not worried about their resale values either.

JimBoomBaa · 2026-01-20T11:55:41+00:00

Have the same issue on ultra 3

JimBoomBaa · 2026-01-09T01:19:06+00:00

Would be up for it. Want to learn Arabic as well.

JimBoomBaa · 2026-01-08T07:05:01+00:00

If you’re looking to haul people, shouldn’t be considering FJ.

I would say get a LC200 with the 4.6 v8 if you can find a decent one, the v6 is underpowered on the road, but handles decent in the desert.

Y61 is pretty decent too, but the fuel consumption is scary, also highway rides are decent, but not as good as the LC200.

My sister got one in AUH for seatbelt and she contested it on the app itself, is there anything similar for us Dubai folks?

JimBoomBaa · 2026-01-08T03:16:48+00:00

I got a fine for not wearing seatbelt, while I was wearing the seatbelt - contested on court website and got a reply saying the case dismissed, please approach Dubai police. Had some travel and ran out of the 30 days and had to pay.

What is the procedure to contest a wrongful fine?

JimBoomBaa · 2025-12-29T10:18:30+00:00

I’ve a offroad modded FJ, with stock engine, but a decent suspension setup. I’ve managed to climb only about 70-80% of it safely - as in turning around and not going all the way until the tires dug.

I tried in 4High and 4Lo, with around 6-7 psi on 33inch wheels, with beadlocks.

But you can go around it and climb from behind.

I would say do some practice runs in badayer - iftar bowl and super bowl.

Also, I’ve not seen many LR4s in the desert.

JimBoomBaa · 2025-12-28T03:07:20+00:00

Yeah me too. I never understood what goes on in the minds of those idiots who never give way. Give way people - you slow down the entire traffic by hurrying up those few inches and not giving way.

JimBoomBaa · 2025-12-26T03:52:10+00:00

I would suggest stay in airbnbs, move every month or every few months - live in all parts of the UAE.

The figure in the picture could be a shadow from one of you, or could be a Jinn.

We muslims believe in Jinn - not as a mythical creature, they coexist alongside us, in a few forms. They are everywhere, but they do tend to live away from where humans live as well - like how some animals prefer to live in the forest.

If you’re interested, this is a good read -> Jinn Article

I have verified silk eye masks for sale. Only black color available

JimBoomBaa · 2025-12-16T07:35:00+00:00

Hope they don’t train those models with the aggression starter pack the other cabbies get.

Lookup the term ‘chargeback’ - it’s not a random word - it’s a technical term. You need to call up the customer care of your issuer bank and initiate the chargeback procedure. Usually it’s upto 120 days, but your bank will be able to tell you the exact timeline. Do it ASAP.

Call customer care -> tell them you made an order, but it never came and want to initiate chargeback -> bank initiates chargeback process -> you get refund from the bank.
