Please do share pics of the engine bay! And Mashallah great work... Be careful when you are at workshops for maintenance these days and do always wear a mask it is compulsory... Beat of luck.

Since you will be offroading with the thing it is a good idea to change all the vapour barriers... Anything coming up with the front and back diffs

The interior looks good as new. Eagerly waiting for exterior remake!

Awesome thread @zanagra

[waqasch1]

an addictive thread !

would be great if you share the facility, places, do's, dont's, heads up, lessons learnt etc.

if you dont mind sharing the pricing, that would be even better as it can help many understand the cost of vehicle, costs and time associated with such a project and do their math accordingly

[zanagra]

@waqasch1 bro To be honest i didnt really faced any particular bottleneck (as such) in this project since i dod all the working on parts and availability before choosing this very rig.

A heads up can be, stick to toyota for your project vehicle; due to vast availability of used and new parts. Secondly; lets be honest, due to the level of craftsmanship available here, small to big failures are common for these old boys — you can find most repair available up north in case of failure (and they do happen).

I have shared all facilities, google map pins and contact persona above; still if you have any specific question; please feel free to ask!

Cost i am not sure To be honest, since a bunch load of things had been procured, again, i remain open to questions.

Thanks a lot for your kind interest and patronage

After the completion of the first phase of work, we decided to give it a test run. This time folks we are going to Panjpeer Rock formations near Kahuta.

By now we have:

1. Suspension fixed.
2. AC installed
3. Interior Makeover done
4. New Rims
5. All Fluid Changes
6. Dashboard Replaced
7. Complete Engine Inspection and everything was found to be in correct order

Panjpeer Rocks: Trial Run V1.1

The mystical Panj Peer (Five Saints) rocks are the highest point of Danoi Ridge located in Kotli Sattian, Kahuta. Situated at an altitude of 5905 feet, they get their name from the local legend of five saints who are believed to have settled in the area. The rocks are home to a beautiful shrine with breathtaking views of Makra and the various mountains of Kaghan in the north and Kashmir in the east.

The beauty and serenity of the 12km path from Narar village to the top of the rock formations is unforgettable, because the route passes through magical waterfalls, dense forests, beautiful streams, magnificent peaks and so much more. You can view the sunset and sunrise while sitting on the rocky plateau of the ridge. A visit to the Punj Peer shrine is a must, where footsteps of the saints are engraved on the stones.

All photos taken by my one of my closest and dearest friend, Muhammad Ashar, You can follow him on instagram for his wonderful photography by Clicking Here

We also logged the highlights of this trip and uploaded on YouTube, please Click Here if you can spare some moments to watched.

The Boy Aced the test --- At least above expectations, but still a lot of work was identified and required to be done! After all, Rome was not built in a day!

@zanagra the tyres - you choose MT ( Mud terrain ) yourself or got trapped in sweet talk by the seller? The truck need AT ( All terrain ) for use off & on pavement drive.

unless you have a reason to be in muddy tropical terrain.

Sir I have both pairs available on me, 99% of the times i am using A/Ts. The M/Ts were a gift from my elder brother @hotice819 (Bilal Sb). So how could I say no to it?

Your point noted well and valid! But M/Ts have killer looks! We will have to admit this? what say?

[zanagra]

Really? How about constant discouragement by so called friends like @usman1texh???

Really? he has financed half of the project, how could he do anything like this?

[capsat]

that is very generous of bhai jan @hotice819 ride & drive the rig safely.
