Hello Brette,

Looking forward to the drive on Saturday 😀 . This is going to be my first drive with Carnity. I have some prior offroad experience (not in an organized club) over the past years of living in the UAE. However, this will be the first time taking my new car, a black Wrangler Rubicon 4dr, into the desert.

I can confirm that I have of all recovery/safety equipments required such as stock recovery hooks rear and front, 9m kinetic rope, 4 soft schackles, hooks balancing strap, strap recoil dampner, offroad flag, integrated air compressor, walkie talkie, jack stablizer board, quick deflator, valve core tool plus spare, and a pressure gauge.

As this is going to be my first drive, is it okay to have someone else with me on the drive, or is it strictly solo?

I am very excited about this new experience and meeting everyone on the drive.

Thanks

@Bishoy Ibrahimwelcome to Carnity.

First off, thank you for going through the website and confirming  that your vehicle meets the minimum requirements for this drive. Based on the list of gear provided by you, the only thing I can think off that you don't have is a shovel. However, you do not need one for this drive, going by the rsvp, we should have quite a few

As far as bring passengers is concerned, it is totally upto you. Just make sure you pay attention to the comms on the radio and are not distracted during the drive.  We do however recommend not bring children for safety reasons.

If you do have any other questions, please feel free to ask. 

See you in the sand.

Thanks all for the drive this morning , great weather and company. Love that run up to Pink Rock.  Thanks @Mark Birch for the photo and giving me context to what a Gladiator looks like when it’s fishtailing. 
 

@Benjamin maybe next time I’ll get stuck and you will need to bail the old man out .
