Well , today while i was cruising around in sand dunes and enjoying my time , i decided to stop and take a break , everything was cool at this point
later on when get moving , i faced one edgy little dune climb , stepped on gas and no problems , but thanks to my tiny tires and long wheelbase , they made me stuck in top of it and the chassis hit the ground well actually i was little slow , basicly i was like this :






I know i couldn't do anything since the tires was rolling on air and i wasn't having a shovel , lucky one guy show up and decided to help me...

put the tow rope , shift into reverse , go slowly , but unfortunately that guy was bite too smart , he was behind me and he pulled me so hardly and he just slamed his brakes as soon as my car moved one inch (keep in mind that behind us was a 6000km of Straight land) , i hit the brakes but he didn't leave a room for me to stop and BAAM! here are some pictures






nothing serious here , but i just hate to see my new car go like that , anyway i will take it to the dealer's workshop and they should fix it in no time..

oh here are some pics before the disaster










I think now am having a good excuse to get some bigger tires and a custom made front and rear bumpers!!

 

Sorry about that, man! At least it can be fixed by replacing parts. What about the other guy's damage?

 

thanks man

he was having a little old Jeep , his bumper falled down no pics though...

 

Ouch.

 

Yeah, Sorry to see you get damage like that...

At least nobody was hurt...

Some things that would help prevent this...

#1. Lift. At the very least a leveling kit. Better yet, a 6" lift such as Pro Comp, Doetsch, or, if they are not bankrupt yet, Fabtech...

#2. Taller, and wider rubber. 35x12.50/17 (18 or whatever size rim) is a good size for these trucks.

#3. Recovery equipment, including a shovel, and tow straps (A longer tow strap would have been helpful).

Keep your wits about you, and you should do fine.

 

Sorry to hear. Just be glad it wasn't too serious.

 

Hate to see the damage....goodluck on the repairs.


If you are considering a differnt rear bumper and your going through your insurance for repairs make sure you tell the body shop and they can help you with that and maybe save some $$ over the oem bumper. Hard to tell though pending on what you want.

 

happends! But what is more important is that you learn from your experiences whether bad or good!.......Like the pics! That place looks HOT!....

 

Hmmm Dubai. American abroad or a native?

 

Does anyone over there make aftermarket bumpers, or will you have to buy one from the US?

 

it'll buff out

Off topic: do you have aftermarket front and rear parking sensors?

 

+1 It has got to be hard to get parts there for a reasonable price....What are those sensors on the front?

 

lift will help. we ran into this problem today at the beach. friend high centered his 98 chevy 4x4 and i just laughed a little and crawled right over where he hit. and the ford out performed his truck in every way

and yes long tow straps are HELPFUL! we had atleast 10 straps put together today trying to get fx4 for life 79 pulled out (photos tomorrow in offroad section), probly over a 175 feet of straps atleast.

 

Well thanks guys for the kind replys
Thanks man for thos very important tips , am keeping them in mind , actually from the day i got this car i was planning to get the Recovery equipments , but was too lazy to do so , as for the tires am getting them next month (will keep the Size details secret )

little native who hang out with european

well i like the look of the Road armor Bumpers , but their shipping price is quite ridiculous , i had talked to one guy overhere and he will custom-made for me a pure iron front and rear bumpers , his bumpers are well known for being extreamly stronge (actually face-to-face accidents won't bent them!!)

yep , thos are parking sensors , got them for free from dealer

 

ouch


99% of the time I f'ed up my truck, it has been wheeling. Never know where or what the latest "battle scar" will be.
