@PuNK
Last sunday we went to unknown track n most of the members have reservation ( I also have reservations )
This Sunday if our members agree then we will have Offroading on the same track near Margalla Towers.
Time will be decided with the consultation of senior members.
All our members like HARCORE Offroading n this track is IDEAL.
We definetely will plan some Picnic party near Simli Dam in near future.

[male_dude001]

yes i agree last sunday the track was not so good , i guess margalla offroading (khadda) is a better choice

[sansyed]

lets discover new tracks on margalla.

[asim_willys]

nice idea lets explore margalla . iam sure there will be more tracks .

[Syedshoaib]

There are lots of news offroad...............can found on Margalla Hill have...... to.......go.....to.....for........for fun.

Can anyone explain how those high and low gears work on these jeeps?

[Ghuncha]

^^
i will be interesed in it too...

[aamir567]

To understand the gear magic u will have to witness OFFROADING with IJC members.

@spectra

its easy... just like in the sports cylcles the front gears work high gear has a transfer ratio of say 1.0... when u shift to low the ratio is changed to say 1.8... so more engine rev, higher torque to the wheels with lesser top speed

normally we drive in 2H...

when we lose traction we shift to 4H.. all four wheels engaged but no change in ratio

when stuck, stalling on steep climbs, we can shift to 4L for maximum torque.. engine rev on rated RPM for max torque... all wheels engaged with a higher ratio

the willys and the toyota jeep have the best low ratios to my knowledge.. they literally crawl when in low... in rocky i.e. my jeep's gear there is only a slight difference

thats the theory..

practicals on this sunday...

[spectra]

okay

So how many time you used Low in CHolistan

I think most of the times

Also i once played a little with a sportage. on low it use to crawl even without accelerating on some climbs which gave me an idea of the amount of torque although it is known to be a horrible offroader

A gentleman from Kia told me that there is nothing wrong with the transfer case but the engine is not gutsy enough

Will see you all on sunday

[akifjanjua]

Cholistan was all 4H or 2H on flat plains...

used 4L on a steep dune climb when we almost got stuck had to reverse and attempt again in 4L.. there were 2 more stuck on that climb

we were lucky...

i have seen a sportage with a toyota 3CT.. and it was good... kia just made it underpowered... khan sb fixed it

[akifjanjua]

Wsy getting a cheapo sportage and putting in a 3CT in a very nice idea.. a cheap SUV

[male_dude001]

Amir Bhai for this sunday 27th april how many volunteers are there for the "LIBERTY CHOWK" stunt ..???
I guess thats the most difficult track of all iam really confused when i think about it ...

[spectra]

More pictures are with Akif

@Akif

Cheap sportage is 500K and 3C-T is like 100K

i have to sell my spectra and arrange for some more cash to do that

[akifjanjua]

@spectra

if ur interested in really offroading.. i would suggest get a toyota jeep hardtop rebuilt.. put in a 3BT with 5 speed tranny.. put in a prado dash, AC etc etc

you will not regret

[spectra]

You mean BJ40 with a B3

i prefer FJ70 though RKR or whatever it is called

My father used to have an LC 1985 with original B3 3431 cc

it was official car

It used to feel like on a verge of explosion on speeds of 8 on normal tar,ac but no doubt an ultimate choice for serious offroading. No timing belts to worry about, all gear driven for reliability. only needs diesel, oil and water to run

BUT, i will be kicked out of the house of we had to move with family to Faisalabad in that thing

[akifjanjua]

13BT is the new gen turbo'ed version of 3B.. comes in land cruiser 70 series...
