HI @Gaurav I have a 2007 Landcruise Prado 4L it has stock tow clamps and has been raised by 2 inches. I have a pressure guage but no radio. If its manadatory Ill get it before coming or will buy later. I have a first aid kit and a shovel but no flag.

@farazcan seems you are pretty well equipped. Make sure your tire pressure gauge is working properly. If you do not have a radio @Gaurav bhai can spare you one.

Yes I was ready with basic stuff as I go on mountains a lot. Dessert is still new to me.

Hi Gaurav,

I want to join you for a ride on 17th of July.

I'm not a complete newbie. (Used to have a lot of driving experience in Africa and went for a 3 days desert crossing in Oman some years ago. Want to  to refresh my skills and start going to the sands more often. 

I have Dodge RAM Sport 2017. Just checked and realized that I don't have front hooks. So I guess, I'm not qualifying for the ride. Any idea where I can buy/install them for my car? 

[Gaurav]

Hi @Muzurisani welcome to Carnity off-road club and yes tow hooks are mandatory for every vehicle.

You can find good quality and rated (very important) tow hooks in ACE hardware or Speedex.

For installing them check the business listing here for general workshop category within your emirates.
