Hi chaitanya,

i have a ford bronco and all basic requirements.

do i need a flag and a walkie talkie ? 
 

thanks,

 

wafi 

@Wafi Ziadeh if you can bring that would be great else we will be providing a walkie talkie. Flag while is not considered a must for the first absolute newbie drive - is mandatory from your second drive onwards - so it is good to have one irrespective.

Dear friends

@Eli Mathias @Mahmoud Torky

@Wafi Ziadeh

@Sayed Bilal

Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club !

As a small introduction, kindly inform us about the following:

1) Which 4x4 are you bringing?

2) Do you have any prior off-road experience? if so please specify.

3) Is your 4x4 equipped with tow points /recovery hooks/eyelets at the front and back? This is mandatory to join our drives.

 

For your first drive, I would request if you can bring the following mandatory items:

  • Tire Pressure gauge
  • Tire deflator
  • Air compressor so you can inflate your tires after the drive. ( we will be ending the drive away from a gas station / the compressor at gas station in last exit qudra is under repair most of the times)

If you have more offroad equipment, you are welcome to bring it along. Do not hesitate to post your questions on this drive post.

See you on coming Sunday!

Hi Chaitanya,

i’m driving super safari and it has front and rear hooks.

No prior experience in desert. Hoping to learn something with you😊

@Wafi Ziadeh @Sayed Bilal & @Mahmoud Torky great drive guys. You  quickly understood the nuances of driving in the desert and drove wonderfully. I had much less to do at the back today. Hope to drive with you soon.

@Chaitanya D thanks for the drive today.
