Good morning @iremmeri 

Because it is your first drive with Carnity, you will have to complete an absolute newbie drive first before you can move on to regular newbie drives. Looking forward to meet you on Sunday !

@G300 @Amit Seth @Deepak 11 @abms2ktrooper @Gurcharan Mehta @iremmeri @Mohamed Khalifa

Welcome to Carnity.

 

 As a basic introduction, kindly reply to the following:

1) which 4x4 are you bringing ?

2) Do you have prior offroading 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, offroad 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.

@Ishaq Muhammad 

This is an Absolute newbie drive. You already completed 3 drives with us so I kindly request you to sign up for a newbie drive. I will remove your name from this drive.

Hello @Vanessa8580 and thank you for organizing.

My answers regarding your questions as follows: 1) I will be driving a Jeep Gladiator 2) I have always been an off-road enthusiast with strong understanding of the cars fundamentals and upgrades.  I have completed >50 drives back in my home country where terrain is mainly crawling and snow. As for desert and dune driving I have done 9 drives out of which 4 drives were 2 years back and in a different car. In the past month I have done 5 drives by myself exploring Qudra with my new car. This ought summarize it 3) Yes, tow points exists on the car.

Thanks and looking forward

• Do you have any prior off-road experience?

Yes, I do have prior off-road experience. Been doing this for a few years now so I don't have an exact number to the dot but  I'd say 50+ drives for sure.
