Dear Desert Drivers, 

In preparation for the drive on Saturday morning, please ensure that your car is in top condition.

Check and remove any loose item in the back seat and trunk areas. Your off-road equipment shall be securely strapped to avoid flying objects in the cabin in case of jumps of big bumps. 

I will indicate the convoy order tomorrow by the end of the afternoon. Please let me know before that if you changed your plans. Thank you !

@JeromeFJ's entry point is Ramlah Sweihan Bowls Bowls Bowls Strip... it will be a good area to test 4Lo vs 4Hi ... also I just installed Mopar original beadlock wheels for the Cherokee (got them for free so can't refuse installing them  ) - I might try climbing in 4Lo with 6 psi 😅

[Mark B]

Sounds sweet Zed! Let’s do it

[Gary F]

@JeromeFJ no upgrades rather comparison between models and the eternal 4 hi - 4 lo debate
