Gaurav Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 @Joseph Raju for your and other car safety, better you get the pintle hook installed and with 4 OEM bolts and not 3 like this one. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE to use unless you have any other tow point or eyelets at the back of your patrol. 2 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Welcome to tomorrow's Absolute Newbie Drive. Those who have not yet replied regarding your cars' minimum requirements, please do so ASAP. One more question for all is: who has radios? Those who do, please bring it with you. They can be purchased at great prices at Dragon Mart. Those who do not have radios, please advise, so we can organize accordingly. Regarding the area of the drive, we will access the desert from a less used entry point, along the road going from Qudra Parking (where you can use the ADNOC gas station to fill up your tank), toward the Bab al Shams Resort. Follow carefully the Google Maps directions: once you turn off the tarmac road (after circling a roundabout next to a mosque), you will cross through the bike track, and an opening between roadworks being done along the bike track. Once arrived at the meeting point, we'll conduct a final inspection of your cars (sufficient clearance and accessible tow points are a must, without which you'll be turned back). Following a detailed technical briefing, we'll be ready to enter the dunes, and start your off-roading adventure. This area is rarely used by other clubs, and the sand is much cleaner ad smoother, so this is an ideal ground to move your first steps in the desert. Myself and @Anish S are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, at 6:00 AM SHARP (and if you arrive a little earlier we can move out more promptly). Enjoy the end of the week @anish@Ale VallecchiI don’t have radio, pls arrange for me and will be highly appreciated and Ill be there at sharp time on the same location shared, if any further details requires, pls let me know… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
