    Drive Report First of all, thank you everyone for coming on time, actually, most of you were there even earlier! πŸ‘ This allowed us to finish the briefing and start moving at exactly 7:30 PM. Our first mission was to head towards 2nd Dec Cafe to fetch @khlief. On the way, we climbed Little Red and had a little disagreement with the GPS πŸ˜…. Somehow we drifted to the west side of Pink Rock and ended up having to find our way through the bushes to get ourselves back on track. Once we picked up @khlief, we were back on the sand and headed towards Nazwa Rock, crossing Camel Hill along the way. Then, just one dune before reaching Nazwa Rock, our next adventure began. πŸ˜… I wasn’t sure what was waiting for us on the left side of the dune, so I decided to make a loop to the right. Unfortunately, I ended up bumping my right footstep against a big rock, went through some bushes, and landed nicely in a small pocket where I couldn’t move either forward or backward. πŸ˜‚ So, we parked the whole convoy and started the winching process. Thanks everyone for your patience and help during the recovery. πŸ™ But from that situation came a pretty good idea: instead of driving the final dune, why not bring the chairs, coffee and snacks and simply walk up? sitting on top of the dune, enjoying the night, coffee, snacks and good vibes with good company. Sometimes you don’t need to keep driving to enjoy the desert. πŸŒ™β˜•πŸœοΈ At 10:25 PM, we packed up and started heading back towards the Big Red meeting point using the buggy track. We reached the exit at around 11:00 PM, extending the drive by roughly 30 minutes because of the recovery. I really enjoyed this drive, especially having the chance to meet you all again and drive together at night. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks to @Thomas54675 our Second Lead, for the quick responses and reroutes whenever needed. Thanks @Infaz for taking care of the sweep position and helping during the refusals. Thanks @Enrico - Mountain for stepping in a couple of times to assist @Rasna with the refusals. so the convoy order was as per the plan. @Rasna keep joining more Fewbie drives and continue practicing your criss-crossing and switching. The more you do it, the more natural it will become. πŸ‘ @Lazy Frog your refusals were mostly related to momentum. Join more Fewbie drives, learn more about how your car behaves on the sand, and soon we might have to rename you Crazy Frog. πŸΈπŸ˜‚ @khlief and @Mei Ling welcome back after a couple of months! It was really nice having you both back in the convoy. @khurramm please fix that fuse holder. In a worst-case situation, the concern isn’t only high coolant temperature; a poor electrical connection can also overheat, spark, and potentially become a fire hazard. Better to get it sorted before the next drive. πŸ‘ @Hartzel well done on your first night drive! πŸ‘ Now we need to get some ROI from all those extra off-road lights. πŸ˜‚πŸ’‘ Thanks again everyone for the great company, teamwork and good vibes. please upload the photo here https://carnity.com/gallery/category/2712-wednesday-night-fewbie-desert-drive-coffee-club-dxb-chapter-5th-pink-rock-sharjah-23-sep-2026/ See you again in the sand!

  9. Hey @Rafey Hashmi! Good to see you back my friend! I've been following your content online and love it! The new FJ is in my opinion a great lifestyle overlanding / off-roading / camping 4x4 that has the proven Toyota reliability and a bulletproof 2.7. We know that the existing FJ owners are largely disappointed due to the departure of the mighty 4.0 V6, but you of anyone should know by now that fun is not always measured in horsepower. I've driven underpowered 4x4's for most of my life and will honestly say it's been so much fun to find a smooth line and make it up a large dune. You've driven in Liwa with me and your Jimny took it all with a smile, and i believe the new FJ Cruiser would do the same for you. Drake's opinion about the new FJ:

    Hi @Ishak i followed wrong location by mistake and i need 38 minutes to reach the location πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ is there a way to give me the next location you will stop on or should i go back home ?
  13. I checked and it mentioned ton kg πŸ˜…
  14. Ahh heres the post i was thinking of (gotta scroll back to page 1, then scroll down) Also another good post from @Frederic here.. get gemini to give you the run down on angles and clearance etc.
  15. hp/tonne vs hp/ton. so it will be around 89 hp/ton. still in the Borderline OK.
  16. Hey Stephan, In the end it makes no great difference and is largely just a question of convenience. If you plan to offroad regularly (say once a week on average), then having a fixed onboard compressor is useful and is one less thing to pack and remember. If you want to avoid making any changes to your car, or you’re happy to pack your equipment each time you go off-roading, a portable unit is a great option. I went for a fixed installation onboard compressor in my Jeep as I take it out regularly enough to benefit from the saving of time and space taken up in the car.
