@Karthikeyan GovindarajanAnna, when refuelling, do you mind fetching a medium sized Starbucks Americano black. I am equipped to offer cold water, freshly squeezed juices all through the trip. Thanks. If you are doing it reply so. Otherwise, I will bother someone else. I am 100 m away from our meeting point now   wish some of you had made it here.

@Gok Krish.. I would have definitely got double shot for you. Apparently, I was discussing with @Asif Hussain on this and I may not be able to join tomorrow’s drive. It is unfortunate that I am missing this new unexplored area, but family commitments always takes precedence

So, I leave the garage in ajman after having my front drive shaft serviced... arrive at the meetup point nearly 3-hours later. It's 2am, and I think... that's a few hours sleep, all good.

 

I pull off the road, air down, and throw my jeep into 4H, thinking to find a sweet spot in the soft sands for my tent away from the road. But instead of a smooth pull away, i hear a loud *clunk clunk clunk* as my drive train begins to spin in its 4H state. Bad sound. Back into 2H.... no clunking. 4H... clunking. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out where the fault is, and I can only assume it's in the transfer case, as everything else spins in 2H as well, minus the engaged transfer case gear, unless the now active torque is engaging the front differential in a funny way. Anyways, my xj needs to get sorted out further.... back to the garage.

 

Apologies, Asif.

The fog cleared off at about 830 am to reveal some magnificent dune structures to play with.  @Ashutosh Gargahead of me - thanks for the laying some super trials with your Xterra. Good fun. @Salim Akhtargood fun to drive with you, get to know you...Have some pictures added guys...will try and get a video out to as well, takes toll on patience!
