I have found a way to get a better reading. When putting the dip stick in make sure the two dots are pointing towards the right side of the vehicle. if you put it another way the dip stick will twist inside and smear as it is going in. I heard also that making the dip stick rougher with sand...

I have never seen a dipstick this bad. I wonder if many of the bearing issues is because people are reading the dipstick wrong and filling it wrong. The V35-FTS has a dipstick that gives false readings/inaccurate because of the smears. Anyone experience this? What I am doing is just draining and...

I have a 300 and I removed the side steps. It had nice clearance for the dunes, I put it back after one week. Everyone getting into the car was stepping on the body to get in and putting scratches.

Hello everyone, I have a 300 and the ride is great, I just a need a lift for better ground clearance and to fit larger tires. Are aftermarket shock and spring options just as comfortable? I do long drives and comfort is one of my top priorities but ground clearance on the stock 300 is not doing...

Ok, I hope I am not beating a dead horse. I have OME nitrochargers, they are great, but after three years the bushings are almost completely gone. I am looking for an adjustable rebuildable shock because I want maximum comfort on the road and almost as stiff as they will go on sand for the...

The other bolts LOOK fine, but this one also looked fine but was mess underneath. I removed the lower bushing and I was left with this rusty sleeve. I cleaned the sleeve. Just to test if I have the flexibility to take it out. I put a bottle jack under and jacked it up. The jack was able to lift...

I found the bolt, but I am wondering if I need to undo the other mounts do I risk a chance of snapping the bolts for them too or is this the only this one that is prone to rusting like that? I am surprised at how corroded the bolt is for being in a mostly a desert driven car in a dry country.

Thank you so much for your explanation. I will do this and will let you know how it all went.

Hello everyone! So I was under my vehicle checking things over when I noticed the body mount bushing was loose. So I tighten the nut but it just spins in place. I pulled the nut and it came out with part of bolt all rusted. I have tools and I want to DIY it, How do I replace this body mount...

With proper tire pressure and CRAWL it is pretty much impossible to get stuck on sand unless you are high centered. I have driven the softest sand and tried to intentionally get it stuck and it will just "crawl" right out. Doesn't matter what vehicle you have, if you have four wheels spinning...

I found the reason why. It's tire pressure! I inflate my tires 35 PSI cold. When driving on the highway (especially UAE summer) the tire pressure goes up to 40+ PSI. This makes the corrugation feel harsher. When I park the car the tires have a chance to cool down so on the drive out the road...

What will happen if I fill a power tank with normal air? I know it says not to do it, and I am sure there is a good reason. I am just curious.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful and you saved me from wasting my money! I was actually about to buy them.
