Frederic Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Good morning @Tareq Ghosheh @soumyasaklani @Adhir Saxena @Pranjal Varsani @BipinM @Mario Cornejo @Matthew Ticehurst Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! Kindly introduce yourselves with the following information: 1) Which 4x4 are you bringing ? 2) Do you have any offroading experience ? If so please specify. 3) Are the vehicle's tow points on the front and the back in good condition ? For your first drive with us, you will only need a pressure gauge and a deflator, and a compressor to inflate your tyres (the petrol station in Qudra is defective). Do not hesitate to ask your questions on this drive topic. Please have a good look at the Absolute Newbie Briefing video as well: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Pranjal Varsani Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hi, My off-road experience is only the masterclass I took around 3 weeks ago with Carnity. I have a Y62 2016 Nissan Patrol. I used both my front and rear tow points in my masterclass and they are fine. I have a pressure gauge, deflator and compressor but no flag. Looks like I don’t need to buy one for this Newbie drive? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
