dear iquana, the easiest way to get me to the desert is that you & khaiwi tie me up one day while I am working in my station in the office and drive me directly to AL-Yahar/Al-Ain........couple of jumbs in your jeep, then beaten a little bit by Al-Yahar people, then drive safely back to Abu Dhabi......but dont forget the lunch & stickers please.............!!!
BTW, dont listen to surfer, I am woried that if I drive once with you guys, you will consider me as an EXPERT and ask me to be permenant there...this is why I dont want to do it that fast......!
Anyway, yesterday i was actually in desert & first time trying the jeep with inflated tires, It went just fine, its too light like a big bike.........I am upgrading the drive smoothly waitng for the mod's.
It is faulty & need to be thrown away, it has a serios fatal virus, not good to your health & muscle man........the best thing is to give it tonigh to my brother so he can bring it to me to fix it & use it in my car....hahhahaahahahha . . . . !
No surfer, you have to calibrate you car odometer. If you have changed your tires to ones which are bigger than stock, the odometer reads wrongly. The GPS speed is the corrcet one.
In Jeep there is a calibration kit for lifted cars and bigger tires. Don't know how is it in Patrols.

The problem is that the tyres are stock size so no need for calibration.
heey surfer, i agree with my friend iquana (el-3asaby) 100 %, you should get rid of the garmin you are having since it is not calibrated and throw it in my car, it is useless & ugly & not working & ...............................etc......... so need for it. . . . . . !

True, the car odometer is in fact about 10km higher than the actual speed in most if not all the cars. Test your GPS in several cars and see the differenece.
This is made intentionally for some reason related to drivers crossing the speed limit and suing the car manufacturers for lower speed reading in the car.
After upgrading the R&P ratio and slamming 33" tires, I changed the odometer gear teeth to the new size as per the "manual" however it reads about 10km/h higher than the GPS

Check out my signature, i have a patrol. I used to have a wrangler from 99 till 2003, i sold when i bought the patrol, i needed a bigger car. The wrangler i have now is model car that my son took from me and broke its tyre
I ordered glass mounting holder in order to use it in my other car, also i ordered the mounting for the bike. I'll post the pictures once i get them.

no way man, its getting better now, previously it used to give me the current speed 10 km less than the car, now it became 5 km, im not sure whats happening, but its getting better.

Let me guess, its a man's voice.

Media center . Let's us put on our cool shades, roll down the windows, cruise at 20 km/h and say together: Kris Kross will make ya, jump jump, aha aha. 8O, Oops, I meant to say put on mutawa3 songs.
so no need for calibration.
