Hi @PN1207 Please do verify as some Jeep Grand Cherokee does not come standard with rear recovery point. Without a proper rear recovery point we can not allow you on the drive. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Frederic Posted September 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 RSVP IS NOW CLOSED @Shyam Karat @Piotr Kolodziej @Krishnakumar @Alexander Alcala @Haarun Baig @Abdallah Rachidi Alaoui @Malachy McGrogan @SyedObaid @jose Shanu @PN1207 @Farook Veettil @Roopesh babu Thanks for signing up for your first official Carnity drive ! Below you can find your convoy positions for tomorrow. Myself and @Brette who's an experienced offroader in our club, will do our best to make your first steps in the desert sand enjoyable and fun ! The plan is to meet up at 5:00AM at the pinpoint location in Al Qudra (see drive post). We will start with deflating our tyres to approx 13-15psi so instead of digging into the sand, we can float over it. This is the common thing we always do before entering the dunes. Deflating can take a but of time if you have not done before, so kindly arrive a bit earlier in that case so we can help you out. After a quick briefing, which will be a slighly shorter version of the briefing video (MUST WATCH), we will head out to the dunes and start practicing. The drive will be around 3hrs and we will try to cover around 20-25kms before heading back to the point where we left off. From there you can re-inflate your tyres if you have a compressor, or drive to the nearest petrol station to inflate which is only 5mins away. For your first drive, a pressure gauge and/or tyre deflator tool is sufficient. From the second drive onwards, an offroad flag, compressor, radio, and shovel will become your basic offroad gear. Some interesting tutorials below: The Absolute Newbie Briefing Video contains ALL the basic info to prepare yourself for this new exciting hobby. Take your time to go through it, and please take note of the COVID19 precautions we have in place that allows us to continue organizing these drives safely and in line with government regulations. For emergency cases, you can contact me on 056 504 2632 Front AND Rear towpoints are a MUST, so please check and double check to see if you have them. Otherwise we cannot allow you for the drive as it would not enable us to recover you safely during a stuck. See you guys tomorrow ! 2 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
