That's amazing! :huh: :huh:

I assume you must live in downtown Doha, or are you out in one of the smaller towns?

People over here will think to either buy a sand buggy like Polaris or Jimny. During the winter season prices of these things goes up and demand get higher.

I live around doha city. Anyway Qatar is small we can cross the country within 2 hours max.

I do appreciate the comments.

Wanted to give my feedback with regards to offroad performance. it's a very capable car but the reason I bought the car is to drive over the sand dunes. the tracation control won't stay off every time i go past 30km it reconnect. In the sand thats slows down already a slow car and the chances of getting stuck is higher. I tried pulling the ABS fuse with 25A. It turned all the lights on my dashboard and no power steering the 4WD won't engage.

I've done some research and there isn't a solution as per for the new Jimny. Some people used to disconnect the front speed sensor. I'll look for the sensor connection and try to see if it will work. If it does i will add a breaker and do a switch. Any thought gents for right way to tackle.

I once went dune bashing in Dubai on holiday and the driver lifted the bonnet to let the engine cool off, the engine and running gear was immaculate due to sand blasting.
My concern would be how the Jimny king pins and cv joints set up would stand up to sand blasting as they are not well sealed.

I don't know for certain but wouldn't a software patch be a better way round than unplugging random bits and pieces, a Jimny can't be the only car used locally that won't disable it's traction control there must be a regional specialist who can hack it?
