Hi @Brette sorry for the late reply. I have a 2015 Pajero 3.5 LWB.

I do have hooks on both front and rear and I think I have atleast 8 inches ground clearance.

Hope to have a great experience tomorrow as it is my first time offroading. Thanks a lot!

ABSOLUTE NEWBIE ( AN ) DRIVE 

The AN Drive , in my opinion , is Unique for both the lead/ support team and the participants. 
I still remember my first drive where before I never stepped on sand. I hope we could manage to leave a positive  memorable drive for all of you at least your first time with @Carnity offroad club and this what makes it special for us welcoming you to the world of sand trying our best ensuring the smile I have seen at the end of the drive drown on every one face 😊
 

Yesterday I believe every one had  a chance to get the feel of it and to excel safely during the drive what was explained in the brief by our lead @Brette and what turned to be a day of excitement. 

@Christopher Mitch Fuerzas, @Clara Cordero, @Nittin Pangotra , @Waqas Asif, @Daphne, @Muhamed Ameen, @Bakr Abdallah and @FSt

thank you for coming and I hope you enjoyed it as I always do . please feel free to leave your comments and feedback so we can always improve and develop in the future. 
 

last but not least great thank you for our lead @Brette For the all the tips and learning opportunity that you put us all in that lovely day .

P.S I will post few clips in the thread of recoveries bit later
