    It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this convoy, even though I held it back most of the time! But I learnt so much in just one drive. I am making a quarter year resolution to join more newbie drives! I want to thank you all for being patient with me and my car I wish we could spend more time doing some movements but I'm not losing hope, maybe future drives will have a full on session! Thank you to the whole team for letting me be a part of this, it was also very emotional for me being there after so many years. The photos are fantastic! I will be using a lot of it on my socials. @Vanessa8580 I love your energy! And to all those who guided me through every ditch, you guys are amazing! Looking forward to more! Cheers!

  20. Infaz started following Fuses - ABS/TC and Airbags
  21. Infaz
    Sure @Frederic On the RAM, @Imran Asghar you should have two separate kill switches, and I believe that’s what you have installed: Kill Switches 1. Airbag – a separate kill switch. 2. Traction Control/ABS – a separate kill switch. For the airbag, the connection can be taken from the seatbelt circuit or another airbag related wire. For traction control/ABS, it can be taken from: Traction/ABS 1. Fuse box (This works for my car) 2. Directly from an ABS sensor. (This doesn't work for most of the cars) On some RAMs, taking the connection directly from the ABS sensor can prevent you from engaging 4WD totally. I actually tried this on mine once, when I was investigating a thudding sound that eventually turned out to be coming from the front differential. But when I connected it through the ABS sensor, I couldn’t engage 4WD at all. However, in your case, if you have two separate kill switches and you have (Traction/ABS done through the fuse box) the truck only drops back into 2WD when you’re stuck or applying a lot of power, I would be more suspicious of an issue with the transfer case or the 4WD system itself. My thinking is that if the kill switch were the main issue, you’d expect to see problems engaging 4WD totally or while during normal 4WD driving as well, rather than it happening only under heavy load. When you try to push harder may be it slips. That said, it’s difficult to rule out an electrical issue without checking the fault codes and wiring, especially with the check engine light on. I’d get those checked before concluding that it’s the transfer case.

    @Ahmed Wagdy good to see that you are keen, but please do not rsvp on the manage tab. The event will go live at the normal 7pm time today.
  28. Frederic
    @Imran Asghar let's try to tackle the issue you faced yesterday and update this topic. @Infaz as you are driving high level drives with the RAM, could you clarify how you disable the airbags and traction control? Imran had kill switches installed for disabling both but found the car going back in 2WD during a stuck situation. Check Engine Light was also on, so we suspect the kill switches (installed by dealer) are throwing the RAM into a tantrum.

    What a great morning out @Vanessa8580, and everyone that joined in support of this important cause. It was so good to see all the new faces, especially the ladies behind the wheel - please keep on joining future club drives! Thank you @Radhika for the yoga session on top of pink rock, which was more a 'hot yoga' session, and getting the joints moving and 'creaking' for some of us - please share the pictures you took of our poses. @Radhika, you persevered with your Jimny and with @Frederic showing how capable that little machine really is, I hope you continue to drive and enjoy it to the fullest. Also thank you @Vanessa8580 for entrusting me with my 'first' second lead and hope I did the job well. Thank you for all the pictures @Mike M., you should add Drive Photographer to your list of expertise now. Nadia and I hope to see you all again soon on the sand!

    It should have been a power-packed start to today’s drive, but the weather had other ideas. Instead, we found ourselves crawling through some technical terrain in very soft sand, blinded by thick fog. A wet layer sitting on top of powdery sand made everything slippery and unpredictable, with a few refusals and short breaks needed along the way. Eventually the sun burnt through the fog and the terrain opened up into a really nice rollercoaster section, criss-crossing ridges and taking some loose lines. 😎 We then pushed through a fence section with the difficulty turned up a notch, before finding some nice big sidie climbs and a bit of ridge riding. After that, we stopped for some tyre maintenance and somehow managed to hear @Frederic and @Vanessa8580 on the radio from around 140 km away. Very mysterious. I’m officially claiming that as a CARNITY record for the longest handheld radio transmission. 😂 We finished with one last spin, finally getting up onto a ridge I’d already had a few attempts at earlier in the drive. We took the win and headed out at 10:00. Great driving from everyone in some genuinely challenging conditions. Looking forward to seeing you all again in a couple of weeks. @ChrisW @_Herman_ @Mahmut @Myrko @Giacomo @Infaz

    Thank you @Mark B for a great morning out with some amazing flowing dunes. My confidence on these drives with longer flowing dunes has improved substantially, which makes me want to do even more. Thank you for helping me out when I was in a picle sideways on a very soft dune, the blip method really helped straighten out my back end, which made the recovery not that scary after all, although the tone in my voice was a dead giveaway. I practiced playing manually with my gears and boy does it make a difference. Thank you everyone for the pleasant morning!
  35. Mike M.
    You’re right @_Herman_! Getting back in the game and will be seeing you very soon in the sands!

    Thank you @Emanuel for the lovely afternoon drive and for agreeing to upgrade to FB+. We sure had a lot of bumpiness for the first half but that was followed by some great play areas which was loads of fun. I sure learned a lot about my vehicle on the technical bits (the pesky bushes), and thank you for helping me practice climbing steps, even if it took a few tries at times. Navigating my own lines through these sections with my long wheelbase is surely something I will practice more. It is the first time I had to use my kinetic rope on my own vehicle and looking back at the video I took away the importance of synchronising the 'pull' with rotating of wheels, the first try you pulled and I was too late but the second one was spot on. We saw some amazing cloud formations and with the sunset lighting them up made for spectacular views.
