Whenever I am near Chandigarh I try and make my way up to Himachal (Kasauli is easiest place to get to). Its nice to breathe some of that fresh mountain air. Plus Kasauli is full of well to do folks (they have holiday homes up there) who have some of the best pedigree dogs ever. From St Bernards to little Sausage dogs, you can see them all in the mornings (dogs and horses are my other passions  )@ Randeep Whats your best time up to Monkey Point ? I managed it in 4 minutes and a few seconds the one year. Luckily they had commercialised a bit and there was a chap selling Pepsi near the top. Which one is Gupta stores, theres one shop that sells sweets, drinks and burgers just after the mall area as you head towards Hotel Alasia. Its run by a chap with a nice moustache. There are a few other shops next to it and one of them is a laundery/dry cleaners.  Last edited by bigman : 6th March 2009 at 12:38. | |

Gupta stores is right above the parking area. There are three shops together. 1. is the Photo Studio (Sharma's I guess). 2. Is a clothing outlet and the corner one is Gupta Stores that keeps everythin from candy's, choco's to havasacks, shoes toys etc. A pretty good joint for kids from Sanawar. Cheers !!!!!!!! | |

About where to do the job. Chennai is only 320 km away and I think I could get a excellent restoration done there. Quote:

There is this friend of mine who has put up a 550 for sale in the classified section. Check it out if you are interested. Quote:
If the electrician doesn't show up tomorrow I am also thinking of taking an electrician from Mayapuri, give a couple of hundred rupees more than he would normally charge, take him to G.Noida and get the work done. | ||

I have driven my Jeep on some very tough tarrain (except mud and deep water, which are hard to except in Rajasthan) and Koyo PS never disappointed me. Quite recently, I did some modification to lower down the visible part of PS so that a winch can be accomodate on the front bumper. However recent recession has stoped me to spend more on my Jeep . | |

Pls explain the KOYO working,cost,fitment and availability in India.Because I am also interested in putting PS in my 550. Hi Harjeev , You can also shed some light on PS which you installed. I think you had mentioned it is KOYO. Tarkesh | |

I am not debating that your OTR tougher than what I do or anyone else does. Firstly my comment was solely in reference to the selection of the tyres for my 550. Secondly, my comment was for all OTR in general. Now when I say we guys, I did not specifically refer you or me, I meant in general. How many of us do put our vehicles to use as put by the army all over India. Do you think that your OTR is more tougher or harsh on the vehicle than what the Indian Army as a whole does. If yes I would definitely like to join you someday!!! Thirdly all the OTR's that atleast I do is more of a hobby for me than as a way of life whereas the use by the armed forces its more of a way of life than merely a hobby and the vehicles are used and abused day in and day out atleast in the forward areas. Also on behalf of Northern India Offroading Club NIOC I invite you to any of our OTR sessions in NCR. I have no doubt that your OTR will be very nice and tough, but at the same time we a team of about 40-50 jeepers here in the NCR who have been active for the past 2-3 years also try to do some amazing stuff, but no doubt will be able to learn for each others experiences.
