Good morning @nr999in and welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! I am looking forward to meeting you ! We ask all new drivers to tell us a little about themselves, so we can plan around the needs of the convoy. So please can you let us know: Which 4x4 are you bringing ? How much experience do you have off road and in the desert? Does your 4x4 have front and rear towpoints and are they in perfect condition ? Thanks and looking forward to seeing you on Friday. Pleas have a look at our Absolute Newbie briefing video: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING For your first drive with us you would only need a pressure gauge. From a second drive onwards you will need a proper shovel, radio, and offroad flag as well. If you have these items already now you are of course welcome to bring them along. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Naveen Raj Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi Frederic, My vehicle is 2019 GX460 which has both front and rear recovery hooks. My desert drive experience is very limited to two or three trips on plain desert terrain with no dune climbing. I have some basic off-roading gears like compressor, foldable shovel, tow rope etc, let me know if any additional gear is required. Please advice where can I purchase the radio in abudhabi? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humayun Ghias Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 I am assuming we need to conduct pcr test to do abudhabi drives if coming from dubai? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
