Desert / Mountain / Overland

Off-road & 4x4 garage in Dubai

Servicing, suspension, protection, fabrication and complete overland builds for UAE sand, wadis and mountain tracks.

One workshop for the whole build

Desert and mountain driving is hard on vehicles, and most off-road projects touch several systems at once: suspension, protection, power, storage and cooling. At TMP, mechanics, fabricators and painters work under one roof with 17 lifts, so your vehicle is planned as a whole rather than bolted together from separate jobs.

Below you will find our off-road services, upgrade pages, vehicle-specific guides and concept builds.
