It was an absolute pleasure driving and enjoying amazing sunset views with you all (ladies and gentlemen)! Top class second lead @Sebastian Nohse, you set a great example on this particular role with how confident, experienced and calm you are! @Noufal, @Carl Stanley & @Myrko this drive wouldn't have been as enjoyable without you guys, you gave me the confidence to push more and go higher knowing we have experienced off-roaders. Special thanks to @_Herman_ for looking out for all of us and keeping us together from the start to finish! -

ARB Brushless Compressor - First Impressions
Myrko replied to ChrisW's topic in Off-Road Club's Discussions
Fitted mine in the Defender's engine bay. A bit hot, and as @ChrisW said, she is a bit fussy, so I have to remember to open the hood when using the compressor a bit longer. And probably more importantly, as I found out last night,: DON'T FORGET TO TAKE MY PHONE FROM THE CONVENIENT PLACE ON TOP OF THE RADIATOR, BEFORE CLOSING THE HOOD!!! I chose to get install the little manifold and the Bluetooth controller with it, to make things easier avoid additional switches in the cabin. You can then set programmable pressure options and it regulates it all by itself, though I fail to see the point in reducing pressure via the controller. The compressor's controller is connected via the Garmin Powerswitch for the same convenience: accessible on the phone and carplay! Again, ensure you put the phone back in your pocket after use, see note above... The air outlet I led through the side of the car, opposite of the engine air intake, which has no function with my engine, (for people blessed with a bigger wallet: it does with the Octa). Great for access and the normal ARB hose is long enough to get to all tires from that point. Key takeaways are: make sure you still have sufficient airflow/cooling otherwise it will just stop working in best case until reset, or cease in worst. Ensure you fuse your power supply, for some reason the first fuse blew only after it fried one of the motors in the compressor. Luckily ARB gave me a new one after they did some checking! -

untilSUMMARY We will enter Lisali from the north after driving along the Camel Racetrack to our entry point. After a brief technical patch we will have longitudinal dunes in front of us offering plenty of side sloping and ridge riding opportunities. Once we've made our mark here we'll cross a sabkha or two that will take us to the Qudra entry point. There will be a small patch of technical dunes to pass before we see the flowing dunes thereafter for more thrills for the remainder of the drive. We are planning to exit new Three Trees in Qudra.

untilSUMMARY No technical zones. No complicated route. Just 2.5 hours of pure dune play through the south of Al Fayah. We’ll be moving at a strong, flowing pace, hunting down as many ridge lines, big and small, as we can find. The goal is simple: climb them, ride them, cross them, and keep moving. We’ll deliberately skip the tighter technical areas and focus on open terrain, smooth lines, momentum and maximum time up on the ridges. No distance target. No waypoint target. Just: More ridges. More flow. More fun.
