Thank you @Gaurav , looking forward to some intermediate drives in the future and I would like to say how well the club is run. thanks to the leaders and all the members for making this exceptional community.

Thanks to everyone for the patience , as I am still learning LWB on mud terrains in the desert.

@M.Seidam tight turns still a work in progress 😂 but for after one crest with you, I worked to train the muscle memory in my right foot to no longer tap the brake when going over a crest perpendicular , to always keep a some power on to an extent.  It works mostly. 

@Benjamin thank you , you got me into this, and I especially look forward to the drives we are on together and when I’m occasion you have tugged me out of tricky situations, I’m looking forward to repaying the support if you ever get stuck .

Thank you @DP1011 always enjoy our drives , onwards and upwards.

@Looper thank you Gotham really enjoy our talks on jeep maintenance and warning signs to ignore..
