[Alexander Alcala]

Thanks for your kind welcoming. I am bringing a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2014 2 doors. It’s lifted and modified. I have experience in Chilean desert but want to start in the club from the beginning. Since I think there are always things to learn.

Dear @Malachy McGrogan @Abdallah Rachidi Alaoui

First of all, i wish you a warm welcome to our Offroad Club. I am always delighted to be able to meet new members and hope we can learn from each other. 

Please send us a small introduction on who you are, which 4x4 you're bringing, and if the front and rear towpoints are available and in perfect condition. Please let us know if you have any prior offroading experience or not.

With regards to gear and equipment, on an Absolute Newbie drive you should bring your own tyre deflator and pressure gauge. We can help you with deflating if you have not done this before. 

If you have a flag, radio, shovel, and compressor, please do bring it also. It will be a requirement from the second drive onwards.

We've made a nice tutorial with lots of information on essential offroad gear (for every drive level):

 

Please also take your time to go through the Absolute Newbie Briefing video we made:

Thanks @Frederic

My names Malachy and I work in education. I've been in Dubai just over 8 years. I'm driving a 2015 Ford F150 stock fx4. Tow hooks are all good.

I've been camping a few times so some basic experience of driving on sand, but looking forward to learning the right way to do it.
