Great. Please make sure the tow points are accessible and if there is a sport spoiler, think about removing it.

Hi, no spoilers and 4 glistening tow hooks fully naked and exposed. Looking forward to it. 

[Wrangeld]

@Cedric Warde Good morning. @Watteau Can you please let me know a little about your off road experience (if any). 

Cedric - I know you have a Jeep. Can you please confirm the tow points are in good condition. 

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have in advance on this thread.

Hi I have driven land rovers in the mud most years, I also have a can am maverick XR rrs and or  Polaris buggy for the last 8 years here in dubai, and go out to fossil rock and around the big red area, I have lead groups on the buggies. However I have not driven a full size 4x4 in the desert with any purpose, only on the beach.

Wow - looks like you have a lot of experience so it will be good to see how much you enjoy the full sized 4x4. Looking forward to meeting.

@Cornelius Wessels thanks for signing up for drive. What experience do you have in 4x4? I am presuming your car is unmodified.

@Wrangeld I have driven multiple vehicles in multiple situations, In SA mainly rock and dirt roads with some forest track roads. Toyota hilux, and Isuzu Double cabs. In the UAE mainly dunes, not massive drives but just plodding along - Nissan Pathfinder and Chevrolet Suburban. Currently in a Mitsubishi Pajero - zero mods and don't plan on doing anything too crazy (probably just suspension lift and wheel spacers) 

Have been on about 5 Carnity drives with one of the other members @franco up to fewbie level and really like the vibe of the club and not pushing the living snot out of the vehicles...I dont plan on doing anything much more extreme than fewbie to be honest, just good clean driving fun with the club and the ability to drive home after it
