Sorry to hear that @Thomas Varghese hope your car get well soon.

Btw, just curious, were you leading this private drive?

not at all. it was a friend. How can I lead a drive without knowing the basics of leading a drive? You got to teach me @Gaurav.

Very sorry to hear about the accident. Wish u speedy recovery and back in action soon. 

Btw i have seen soo many hazards in these popular bowl areas like ifthar bowl badayer. I dont understand how can there be solid loose rock in middle of steep climb or soft sand patch. Once i noticed  a solid brick poking out in these area. 

I dont have words for who ever does this kind of retarted things. 

Its lesson to learn that there are people like thomas friend who stood by him till next day 5 am. But there are far more morons out there who may put shit wholes for people. 

Please be careful. 🙏

Thanks, the car will be in action tomorrow itself. Probably you are right @Rizwanm2 about someone placing loose rocks deliberately. In our country puncture shops used to sprinkle iron nails on roads so that people will get a puncture and visit them. Same maybe here. Recovering an immobilized car from an area like that is next to impossible unless u shell out lot of money. Thanks to friends who didn't leave me alone to fend for myself. I would have done the same for them too if any of their cars had been disabled. Not at all a good option to leave your car unattended for even a day in those areas. God knows what all will go missing. It was not possible to recover the car without the aid of a mechanic who knows how to disengage the drive shaft and the axle and to have the tools to do so. Thanks to my mechanic who took a taxi to reach Madam from Ajman and made the recovery possible. The wheels had locked up after the differential broke and wouldn't move.

We made use of all the recovery techniques taught to us from @Carnity. Leading the drive is a different case altogether and as we r not trained we dared not do it. If @Gaurav or @Rahimdad will teach us then why not?

The car is back in action and we both are ready for the next adventure.

What an exciting story @Thomas Varghese.Carnity doesn’t just teach us desert driving. I believe we learn a lot of life skills like Leadership, being there for each other , patience and many more. Glad to know that you and your car are back in action. Until we meet on the sand 👋

PATIENCE. I saw the patience of my fellow drivers in those moments. The moment I called they came and helped.
