Hi all

My car failed in inspection in adnoc mehawi because of

1-replacing property size tire
2-adjust body height .

Do any body know if it can pass in dubai as it is or I should return it to stock

Seems a bit unusual unless it's just that test centre or change in the rules, I've passed a few cars in dubai over years with lift and larger than stock tyres. Maybe try another station, tasjeel barsha has been good and quick for me before.

My pajero sold recently and was registered at muroor with lift kit and wider rims/slightly bigger tyres (and 4 offroad spotlights with covers).

Good luck!

Hatem, sorry to hear about your experience.

To add to what Ray1 said, my view, you have three options:
1. Return your vehicle to stock at least as far as wheels, tyres and wheel spacing is concerned and take it back to the same center.
2. Find a 4x4 specialist with an RTA permit to conduct modifications and check with them what it would take to get you car through the test (as is).
3. Try another test centre.

Also look at the following link for information and please provide an update for future reference. http://www.ad4x4.com/club/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21523

Have it checked in Dubai.
Then issue car registration in Abu Dhabi.

You can do that

2 months ago I had my car inspected in Dubai at the RTA inspection center on the right side of Sheik Zayed Road, just after you pass the Emirates Mall. No issues whatsoever with them. Oversize tires, 2 1/2 inch lift, metal bumper in front. I watched the inspector, he knocked his knuckles on my front bumper (it is obviously metal and not stock) and without any hesitation continued his work and passed it.

After the inspection then I registered in Abu Dhabi since I have Abu Dhabi license plates. Again, no issues at all for the registration. They don't care where you do the inspection.

Try it! You have little to lose, compared to the work and agony of removing all the desert character!

Finally

It was suhaib advice, to remove my off road 16" rims and tire and keep them in home.

I got FJ 17" rims from a friend with high tires and fit it in my car and try to pass it in same adnoc.

Adnoc guy he saw the car and said that he still feel that that car still high but when he checked the Gap between the tires and the finder he found it fine (because rims bigger and tires also bigger) so there is no more big Gap remarkable .


Thanks Suhaib , I was good idea .

To add to getting the car inspected in Dubai and registered in Abu Dhabi, after talking to a few adnoc inspection places found out you can no longer do this as of this year. Abu Dhabi no longer accepts inspection paperwork from Dubai. Mushriff moorur passed my truck with no problems with 6 inch lift with oversized tires and loud exhaust.

Glad you got it all sorted and passed.
