@Shynil Hashim @I.M.Shousha إسلام أبوشوشة @[email protected] @Werno @Omar Rifai @Miamimoe @Adib Samara 

A big warm welcome to all newcomers to the Carnity Offroad Club !

 

Kindly introduce yourself with the following info:

1) Which 4x4 are you bringing ?

2) Any prior off-roading experience ? If so where and what ?

3) Please confirm your 4x4 has front and rear towpoints that are in perfect condition

 

For your first drive, you would only need a pressure gauge, tyre deflator, and a compressor (the Qudra petrol station compressor is out of service).

Please have a look at the Absolute Newbie briefing video posted in this topic:

Do not hesitate to ask your questions here !

Hi All

Unlike others I am a bonafide Absolute Newbie, as required!

1. 2017 Discovery Grey, recently purchased and looks like it has never gone offroad. like me

2. No offroad experience unless you count driving on Indian roads in my formative years (kidding).

3. I believe yes, under the fenders (will remove fenders and send pics)

Would appreciate some advice where to procure (in short time) the required air compressor and radio. I already have a pressure gauge cum deflator.

Looking forward to the drive

Joseph
