Hello @Srikumar, I am commenting on behalf of my friend @Anand Nataraj. He just joined our club and due to some technical glitch, system is allowing him neither to comment nor register, would be great if you can him to the ride. He has already dropped an email to support for assistance.

Cheers,

Jana

[Anand Nataraj]

[Athula Dharmadada]

Hi Srikumar,

Two or three week before I joined with this group and drived once only.

But that was not successful and electronic system of my 2015 Pathfinder lifted was make troubles.

This time i'm driving a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 and my brother also joining with me.

He is first timer and driving 2005 Jeep Cherokee.

Therefore, still I like to join this drive and let me know if I need to sign out and assign to another drive.

@Athula Dharmadada noted and I checked with the Frederic who was leading that drive and he informed that you were not able to complete the drive due to some car related issue. So you are welcome to join this drive.

Please confirm that you have front and rear tow points on your new ride. Also, please ensure that its completely checked by a mechanic before bringing it into the desert.

[Athula Dharmadada]

I think this car is strong enough for desert. However I will check once again brfore bring it to the drive.

Front and rear two points are available.
