Popular Post Benjamin Posted June 3, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 @GauravSoni what a great drive! I really enjoyed the fast paced corners and climbs this time my gearing came along much better which also equaled to great pace. myself and my small support crew had some good fun with the ridge riding. @Vaibhav I hope you can get your jeep sorted out soon I know Mopar can be really frustrating sometimes; I hope to see you soon. @DP1011 another great drive to tick off mate! I will see you soon @Looper always a good drive when you can show us all your looping skills! Did very well in SL as expected @Mario Cornejo you were amazing as well! Always awesome seeing your car power through the dunes it’s like having first class tickets to a dakar rally session Always great to see familiar faces @Chris Wing @Gertjan @Jaro Tuzinsky @Waqas Parvez @ASAD. @Zed and everyone else I may have missed out 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASAD. Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 brilliant drive @GauravSoni, been some time driving with you and was amazing to be back. The area had everything in it for everyone, long range dunes, sharp ridges and technicals. @Looper & @Mario Cornejothanks for the SL and for the sweep respectively. Was a pleasure driving with and meeting the usual gang. Hope to see you all soon again. @Vaibhav my friend, we missed you in the later half, hopefully the car gets sorted soon. Also remember for every Jeep that breaks down there is always a toyota around to help out ☺️😂. 3 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 I was definitely having some issues with concentration in the first half hour with a couple of refusals and some bumps, it goes without saying that one needs to be more than 100% while driving in the desert and the smallest of lack of concentration can cause havoc. Luckily I overcame the initial issues and started to enjoy the drive as it was planned. A great team goes a long way to making a drive the fullest and most fun. Thank you everyone who joined the drive and @GauravSoni for planning and executing this exciting drive. @Mario Cornejo for being at the end - your usual spot and showing after everyone is done with theirs how it is exactly done. Love to see you drive every time. @DP1011 you bring cheer to every drive and I salute your endurance for 4 drives a week. While I too do it but I am not that consistent. @Vaibhav hope the issues with the Jeep are sorted out soon and see you back in action very soon. @Gertjan love to see you once again and thanks to you, my jeep gets a decent photograph in the gallery. @Jaro Tuzinsky good to see you once again and looking forward to your drive videos soon. @Chris Wing finishing off the trifecta of FJs in the drive always a pleasure to drive with you. @Zed Carnity drives in Abu Dhabi are synonymous with driving with Zed. great to seeing you once again. @Waqas Parvez I know it is a high adrenaline drive when I see you in the convoy. I try to make sure that I drive in that drive. @ASAD. great to see you once again after Al Salamat. Always a pleasure to see you. @Benjamin love to see you and your jeep. Hope it was a great fun learning experience for you. I have added some pics in the gallery the drive from my point of view. 5 2 2 don't drive like its your last one.

GauravSoni Posted June 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Thankyou all for joining me in my exploration of the amazing dunes of AD. @Gertjan @Jaro Tuzinsky @Waqas Parvez @Mario Cornejo @DP1011 @ASAD. @Benjamin @Chris Wing @Zed @Looper@Vaibhav We had some amazing time driving through some of the most beautiful area comprising of technical, Ridges, Soft patches, Long climbs , side slopes and everyone responded so well to the challenge. It was a great team effort to get @Vaibhav jeep restored with some magic trick by @Zed!!! i had my fair share of stucks requiring a tug and then a winch by @Looper while everyone drove exceptionally ( almost flawlessly). Thanks @DP1011 @Mario Cornejo and @Looper for brilliant support. it was a pleasure to see and hear the engines roar @Waqas Parvez @ASAD. @Mario Cornejo. i hope you all had fun as It was fun leading a super strong convoy! until next time! see you all in sand!! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zed Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Well Done @GauravSoni , with a Total Ascent of 520 meters and Max Elevation of 300 meters, for sure you have created one of the most exhilarating track for an Intermediate that starts from As-Saad nearby 👮♂️ police station and ends in An-Nabbagh 🐪 camel race track nearby Paratta Street cafe 😜 I'm amazed what you've pushed your 3.8L Pajero through, truly a testament that the right driver knows the strategies to get through the terrains he has experienced 👍 For those Intermediaters who want to re-live the experience, save this coordinate: 24.29542, 55.59138 That is the coordinate for the highest dune we climbed at 277m @Vaibhav sorry about your Jeep, you can tell Trading Enterprise (or Western Motors) that the Error Code it was throwing was Transmission Error P0776 that triggered Limp Mode P2110 and P2118. You can save the article below to reset your Electronic Throttle Body to get out of Limp Mode next time. But it seems you have Transmission issue, solve it in the order: 1) If under warranty ask for Transmission Replacement, the whole gearbox + valve body 2) If dealer refuses, ask them for Transmission Fluid Flush and check Trans Pan for metal shavings. If got metal shavings, ask for a free Transmission Rebuild. 3) If no metal shavings, ask to replace all Solenoids in the Valve Body 4) While they have the gearbox down, tell dealer to check wiring harness from Computer to Transmission, since since P0776 High could also mean wiring issue. @DP1011 do you have the 8-speed or the 5-speed bro? If 8-speed try driving in 4L-5th gear and if 5-speed try driving in 4L-3rd gear. Since you didn't re-gear, you now have to shift down to get more torque than the stock setting. We should sneak into a Newbie or Fewbie drive to play with the gearing and find your sweet spot bro 😁 @Looper great Second Leading, nevermind the joke Second Looping, don't take offence from these brutal Intermediate barbars 😄 It's never easy especially if your Marshal is going fast then slow-down, or hasn't decided to take left or right 😁 Eventually without you, that first car wouldn't have been winched back on track 😂 @Gertjan @Jaro Tuzinsky @Chris Wing the FJ Amigos. Chris is finally proving that the Black FJ is so much better than the Beige FJ 😜 Gertjan and Jaro are now A-TRAC masters whenever their FJs get stuck 👍 Prado Brothers @Waqas Parvez @ASAD. great driving as usual, always enjoyed your creative multiple tries whenever we found a play area 👍 Waiting for your Instagram videos on these... @Benjamin Not bad for a 3rd Intermediate drive, am sure you're getting the hang of it. No refusal with that Jeep and watching you play Catch-me-if-you-Can with the Yellow Looper and 2 Prados means you have mastered to be one with your machine and learning to enjoy higher-level drives 👍 Finally my Sweeper Brother @Mario Cornejo , that complete headers to exhaust system just screams beautifully in every climb-to-the-highest-dune moments. Man, I wish I'd bring the Insta360 to record your actions... oh well, that means I should join your drive again next time 😁 Until next time folks, that was a great convoy indeed. 6 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaibhav Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 @Zedthanks a lot. This information definitely helps me and others. The was sand in Throttle control and valve body. The Valve body needs to be replaced under warranty but the dealer does not have it in stock and will take 25 days to procure it from US. They have done the transmission fluid flush.
