Any garage would be fine. Just ensure that you put an original mopar clutch plate, pressure plate and pilot bearing. While you might get away with a half depressed clutch on the road, you will always have a burnt clutch while offroading. Clutch should be either fully in or out. No other way and if you struggle in 4 Hi while trying to self recover put the car in 4 Lo immediately and get yourself out. Your today situation brings back memory of my first drive with a manual transmission where I roasted it completely 😬

@Sandi88 you have driven before in the desert and it shows, but please understand that safety is our prime focus and leaving the convoy and going for a play is not acceptable. @Vishnu Sasidharan the same applies, where Vanessa has clearly told you to stay within the convoy you again ignored her instructions. This is not OK guys. We need to make sure all our drivers who are under our wing are safe and are not getting themselves into trouble. 

Unfortunately the COVID regulations were also not followed by some drivers/passengers , as we requested to everyone to wear a mask in case you need to exit the car. Please do take note that is this occurs for the next drive we will ban members who keep thinking they are above the law. Only by following the government rules we will be able to continue these drives.

@Sandi88 and @Vishnu Sasidharan

If you have previous off-road experience, then you can self declare it online on your next drive.

Based on your self-declaration, trip lead will judge your skills and will promote you to the fewbie level accordingly.
