You can air it down near the OTR spot.....no need to go to the fuel station to do it. We may need to drive quite some distance from the nearest fuel station, to the OTR spot.

Blue Thunder, please use the edit post if you are posting within 20 mins

Yes sir... Locked and Loaded!

Crime!

PS: Is your Gypsy's starting trouble taken care of? Was it just the battery?

Dont know yet. Have a couple of days more to sort it. Lets see

I live close by that area - can collect you on the way to Tidel Park!


Both you guys - This is a CRIME - working in the same office and sitting 2 desks away, posting like this in this thread!!!

Neo: Hope you have sorted out your issues :Shockked:

@ headers - should be done today or tomorrow

Headers, no offence but since we are both bringing vehicles wouldn't it be easier to just meet up there at 7.30? Im sure i'll see a bunch of hardcore Jeepers and hear them cracking wise jokes about the weight of my SUV, the loong wheel base, the ADR angles, the HT tyres, and how much more light footed their Jeeps will be. Couldn't possibly miss them! :)

Also, does anyone know where I can get off road equipment in Chennai - Tow straps, D shackles, Sand Ladders, etc?

Thanks

Vikram, Arka and the Chennai Jeepers,

Wish you all have a very action and fun filled OTR.

What a beautiful thing we Jeepers are...the moment we meet or propose to meet across states or cities, all the previous feuds are history. Spike and Chennai boys, Deepak and Vikram (after Thar test drive in Hyd) and many more we don't notice.

Long live this spirit and camaraderie.

@ Spike,
Prateesh you were supposed ot come to Hyd, don't you feel you are 500kms+ off course, going down south?

Get your required permissions (if any) right and avoid disappointments.
Regards,

Yeah, got drifted to Chennai due to the off road bug and to meet fellow enthusiasts; although on a different track my destination is fixed. :)

I am juggling all my work to ensure I am there on Sunday morning, which in all cases will be.

Spike

@headers: Hope I can tag along this time? Been a long time :)

Since I am coming on this OTR my search for AT tyres has got its second wind from near standstill! I have found out that 255/65/16 MRF Wanderer tyres are now available for Rs. 7800/Tyre! Would any of you advise against this?

According to the tyre diameter calculating Formula, the Diameter will reduce by half an inch from stock size of 245/70/16 but since the rim size remains the same I dont think it will reduce by that much. Please advise?

Hi Vishnu,

Stick to the original OD or something taller, no use in going for a reduced OD.

Regards,

Arka

Hi Senthil,

DAMN!!!! I was thinking you will be coming in your Gypsy minus the Hard Top:uncontrol

Regards,

Arka

Yes you can find your way to Tidel Park Sir. You get all the D shackles, Tow cable, etc in Parris Corner.

Thanks Fazal..we will have a good time..


Hey spike, come over to cancer hospital and we'll pick you up.. :D



Sure ramesh, hop in.

MRF wanderers are not so great, be patient and pick up a good brand!

Arka & Vikram,
When will you both release the indian made lockers specs ?
guys, even surya's "ezham arivu" releases on diwali, lol.
Best Regards for the OTR.

Where can i join you all for an action packed blog ? will be coming by car, no jeep...arkaji/vikramji, pls have a seat for me.
