soumyasaklani Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hi Angela, just to let you know, I am/was a Fewbie last year but had to take a break since May for 8 months because of a shoulder surgery. I've just rejoined & felt it best to start with this absolute newbie drive to r5efresh & ease myself back into desert driving. Trust you'll let me join this drive & hopefully looking forward to resuming offroad driving. Thanks, Soumya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that anyway I'm just not sure I'll manage to do that this week. Looking forward to Sunday. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt see the bolts in the first picture but the second pictures shows 2 bolts connecting the hook to frame, sufficient but 3 bolts and more are preferable. I think you are good for now. Looks like Prado has won battle with Fortuner without hassel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtrot Oscar Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Good evening and a warm welcome to all new joiners to this club ! @Vasja Zupan– Prado @Ameera AlMarzooqi-LC 100 @Luiz Nóbrega- Pathfinder @CEdric Rodrigues- Patrol @Paul OR-Prado @soumyasaklani- Prado(welcome back ) @Krishna R - Infiniti QX56 @shailendra singh vilkhu- Montero Sport @Sam HSuper Safari @Nadeem Ansari Landcruiser @Waqar Ahmed Khan Patrol @abms2ktrooper Isuzu Amigo Great to see so many of you signing up for your first drive. As a basic introduction, kindly reply to the following: 1) Can you confirm the 4x4 you will be driving ? 2) Do you have prior off-roading experience ? If so please clarify 3) Does your vehicle have front and back towpoints ? This is mandatory before being eligible to join. Tools Needed For your very first drive with us, we would like to ask you to bring a pressure gauge, deflator tool, and a compressor to inflate your tyres after the drive. (the one near the gas station is usually defective). The next tools you will be needing from second drive onwards, are a walkie-talkie, off-road flag, and a decent shovel. If by any chance you have these tools already you are of course welcome to bring them along on your first drive. Welcome aboard! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
