Hi Rahul, 

Ford Explorer - two things. First remove the air dams at the front. They make the car too low if fitted. Secondly, please make sure that the D hooks for towing are installed. Whereas everyone will tell you they are fitted as standard, I have had one or two occasions where an Explorer did not follow the 'standard' rule. 

As @Lakshmi Narasimhan, for an absolute newbie drive, your car is fine. 

@Wrangeld I checked my car, no air dams. front towing eye hook is there in tool box. do you suggest to install it before the ride?

for back side where should I look for the towing hook, I have no idea where to look. 

 

Thanks 

Rahul

Hi Rahul, 

It's not a tow hook like for a caravan, it's a D hook through which we can pass a rope if you need to be recovered. On the Explorer these are often hidden under some body work or plastic shroud. What you are looking for is something that looks like this.

Dear Absolute Newbie drivers, 

I hope you are looking forward to the drive tomorrow morning and the excitement that awaits you. 

We publish the night before a drive our convoy numbering and order (please see tutorial to understand this if it's not clear) so that everyone knows where they will be driving in the convoy on Friday morning.

For this first drive only, we will supply radios to any driver that does not have their own radio. For those that have a radio, we will be using Carnity channel 1 at frequency 446 006 25.

Yes. We need them front and back (and in good condition).

Hi 

 

excuse my lack of knowledge but I assume on the safari patrol these are standard I have looked and not seen round hooks as such with the explorer, but multiple points I believe that lines can be hooked up on

Ask your cousin to subscribe and then you can give his user ID here, so that @Wrangeld can swap that with your ID, as Richard is still saving your name in the RSVP list.
