[Shehab Alawadhi]

Thank you @Luca Palanca Falsini for taking us to this area, I’ve always wanted to climb these dunes. I went twice with my friends but wasn’t confident enough to take my car and now for sure I’ll take my car with them.
Thank you @Lorenzo Candelpergher for helping me recover my car, and it taught me a few new things about my car too!! 
Great job everyone, although it was tough hope everyone had fun! 
See you on the next one and inshallah we get to our exit!

 @Shehab Alawadhi great CF role played in what was a tricky first time route for us all!

@Niki Patel, the car mentioned by @Luca Palanca Falsini is correct.

My Y62 will be out of the game for some time due to some repairs with parts that have very, very, very long lead time (ie several months) from Nissan in Japan.

Meanwhile, I couldn't stay grounded forever, so I got myself a new drive on the dark side.

When the Y62 is back, I'll have to face the dilemma about which car to drive, even though my wife is claiming the Y62 as the family car. 

See you tomorrow. 

Hey @Lorenzo Candelpergher welcome to the Jeep gang... It's called the dark side as there is no way out of it, i m sure you would have realized after the first drive...hope to be on drive with you sometime soon...cheers

Thank you to everybody for participating in this challenging adventure!

The Shuwaib area is various with big dunes followed by technical areas, the shape of the dunes is very irregular in technical so it is a wonderful moment to learn.

The drive, of course, was pushing the boundaries of a Fewbie plus to the limit and everybody did an exceptional job!

 

@imranaasghar81: you did great! It's nice to see how you are improving each drive I meet you, your confidence and your skills. Keep driving with us!

 

@Abdul Rahman Abdul Kader and @Danish Mohammad both of you did much better once moved on the front. Just need a few drives to understand better the characteristics of your car. @Abdul Rahman Abdul Kader remembers that in challenging terrains with a big convoy, listening to the instructions and keeping the convoy order is quite important! 

 

@Joe Biju Joseph you did a great , keep coming with us! Your H3 is not an easy car to handle sometimes! 

 

@Shehab Alawadhi I know your F150 is not at all an easy car to handle and you were, in the first part, just behind the Tundra with the same characteristics. I'm happy to see you way more confident on such terrains, I hope to see you soon there! Anyway, thank you for your tug

 

@N@ved : thank you for coming, I know that sometime you found the path little challenging but, It’s all about learning your car :).

 

@Rob Harper: your Toyota Tundra is amazing! You managed very well your beast, see you soon!

 

@Javier Lucero: very well done! you shown a good technique!

 

@Niki Patel, @Mario Cornejo: you were amazing thank you for coming, you did a great job in both positions on the front and on the back of the convoy! Hope you enjoyed as we did

 

@Lorenzo Candelpergher : It was wonderful having you with us, I know that after the trip you discover a lot of tips about your car! Thank you for coming and for your help!

 

 

Hope that you enjoyed the drive and see you all soon!!

WHAT AN AMAZING DRIVE    Thank you @Luca Palanca Falsini @Niki Patel @Shehab Alawadhi @Lorenzo Candelpergher for this super drive, it was challenging one but loved it as there was lot to learn on these dunes.

 

While trying to climb my Pajero shift its gear from 1 to 2/3 by itself and then it drops RPM after this I need to come all the way down and start new attempt.  (any advice to fix this issue)  

 

Everyone in Convoy did excellent and thanks to all members for their patience, help during refusal and stuck. (Good teamwork)

If you are driving a 2015 Pajero in tiptronic it will hold the first gear. The upshifting problem is there in 2008-2011 models

Then he will have to live with the upshifting issue. No viable options.
